Checking out the Divoom Timebox for Pixel Art and Music.

01:35 * drooool *

[@JonnyApple445]

Lazy Game Reviews Aye LGR

[@MadmanEpic]

Ahhhhhh, not again! Can someone please get the mop?

[@RMJ1984]

No drooling here dude!! :P It will soak into the wood grain finish!.

[@emeraldanthony8637]

NOT AGAIN!!

[@spartakusgoulash3109]

Whats up?!

[@Nick_7903]

"Remember to feed the cat" sounded like "Remember to beat the cat" XD

[@heidirichter]

Hahaha yes, or it sounded to me like "Remember to eat the cat"

[@TheJ602]

Trax DK eat up Martha

[@TheMrRuttazzo]

@Troy Wilkins *Willy! HA!*

[@thejay8963]

Hey, David, take a note on your Timebox; "Remember to feed the cat" *enters note "Remember to eat the bat" *Throws Timebox

[@Rennyputansu650]

So when you or somebody else walks into the room, you can see the memo. *presses button* “Hey remember to beat the cat” *steps on cats tail* *cat meows*

[@verdatum]

11x11 pixels is such an odd choice. 16x16 would be so much more useful, since that's the size for standard NES sprites.

[@PCBSLC]

You should give the Game Frame a look.

[@RamLaska]

That's exactly what I was thinking. 12x12 or 16x16. The flip side is that if you want something perfectly centered, an odd-numbered grid is your best bet.

[@RamLaska]

***** Yes, multiples of 8 were very standard for 80s graphics.

[@franklin9654]

verdatum agree, 16 by 16 would look sick

[@RamLaska]

***** I can understand that. It's nice to have a true single center pixel.

[@TheSektorz]

They've clearly put alot of thought into the app. For me it looks like a cool decorative item to display some pixel art on. And don't worry about the "sell out" thing, it's your channel and it's growing, I think any tech reviews you choose to do will be fine with everyone, and I for one will always be supportive. And a personal request - more DOS-related videos? Would be great, not enough people cover IBM DOS machines or DOS itself... I loved your DOS gaming laptops video.

[@The8BitGuy]

Well, I'm soon to be working on a Tandy 1000 video.

[@slipknotboy555]

The 8-Bit Guy Awesome! The Tandy 1000s are one of the cooler PC compatibles of their time, imo. I agree with TheSektorZ (I think most of us probably do); there's nothing wrong with videos like these.

[@KevboKev]

Looking forward to this. I grew up in the 80s using my dad's Tandy 1000

[@r0kus]

This was interesting. I won't mind occasional reviews where you have been given a free sample or even sponsorship cash. As long as you tell us upfront your relationship with the company, and you are able to criticize its weaknesses, we're cool. 🤖

[@Smaxx]

Yep! Plus this thing is actually interesting and I would have never found it I guess.

[@twe8k]

r0kus I'm sure David is sooooo relieved that you're allowing him to do this. And fuck off with speaking for us all, dipshit.

[@twe8k]

r0kus fucking lunatic dipshit.

[@ASquishyBean0126]

I'd have to agree with you. For the most part though, I don't care. If a company offers and he accepts , well that's his thing. Yeah if he starts to have it every time and it's a marketing gimmick I'll be put off. But really, I liked this an hope he does a few more like this.

[@r0kus]

Tanner Kendrick 😺 So. ... Does this mean we're _not_ cool?

[@MaxDeaconVR]

I don't need it, but I sure want one!

[@carlaparker4482]

Why don’t you get one??????

[@Batman83]

I think we'll only be worried when you start doing 8-bit "let's play" videos. Keep up the great videos.

[@bnmc]

1:35 Exactly what I was about to comment. LGR sure loves his wood grain!

[@Moscato_Moscato]

It looks like a nice gift to give to techie friend like you

[@slipknotboy555]

Heh, nah, that's not being a sellout - being a sellout would be agreeing to give the product a positive review before you check it out, or being dishonest to your audience. That's definitely not the case here, and it really does fit your channel (imo). I thought it was cool.

[@Zontar82]

wow,a youtuber that is NOT a sellout..congrats man,you have the balls to go against the flow next please try the amiga logo

[@Zontar82]

***** yep.that's what he said as well.butthurt,maybe?

[@Zontar82]

***** you can be sure that i will immediately unsubscribe, like i did with all those other sellouts

[@timberwolf88]

Zontar82 its easy for us to say that, but at the end of the day the man needs to make a living like all of us especially since its his main source of income

[@Zontar82]

you must be fun at parties, am i right

[@Zontar82]

i am an unemployed as i lost my job last year,so i would be the perfect candidate to understand its situation.yet,if you start the video by saying that you won't be a sellout,and then people comment saying that there is nothing bad if he becomes one..you start to grasp what's wrong in the youtube community

[@thomasgraf1986]

No shame in doing these once in a while, especially now that this is your full time job! I think the key is to be infrequent (once at month at most) and related to your channel (as this one was). I actually found this interesting, thank you!

[@TechDeals]

Nothing wrong with this, I found your take interesting... It is indeed the sort of device that you'd probably otherwise buy and review yourself, so that you got it free is cool... Love your videos! :)

[@Andrew-wo8ry]

Your not a sellout if you actually like the product, your a sellout if your advertising things you dislike just for the money.

[@themaster3211234]

disabled my Adblock before watching, extremely happy that you'll be uploading more awesome content!

[@Lovebird_music]

seems like something techmoan would do a video about.

[@MusicalBox]

He did

[@bagelmaster8]

I legit thought is was a techmoan video at first

[@Lovebird_music]

MusicalBox Well that would explain that

[@MusicalBox]

oops correction : He did a review of something similar : LaMetric Time

[@Lovebird_music]

MusicalBox Oh well, just goes to show how much more of a thing he'd review this is.

[@PlayTheMind]

There's a brand new computer out there, the *ALTAIR 8800*. You should totally make a review-video on that one.

[@Peeves22]

If these videos are easy to make and you continue to give your honest opinions on the product, I would love to see more stuff like this!

[@fen4554]

Kinda love the crossover between this and LGR. And I think your approach to doing reviews of stuff like this is spot on. If you think it's cool, there's a good chance most of your userbase will too.

[@Kevinhanc]

It looks cool and fits the theme of your channel fairly well, keep up the great work. Your channel is always interesting

[@varikvalefor]

You are for sure one of my favourite channels. Please keep making videos!

[@bronsontharpe641]

You should do a video on the Tandy 102, one of the first great laptop computers.

[@The8BitGuy]

It's in the planning stages already.

[@aerodigital]

This is exciting, I spend lots of my childhood in a Radio Shack and even worked at a few stores in the past. Tandy computers are a great piece of history.

[@bronsontharpe641]

Awesome, looking forward to it.

[@cyruscuckler9301]

Well...?

[@stub123]

Another great vid, love the fact your full time now. I think the way you select the correct products to review on your channel is great. Your only a selling out if you do it only for the money and change your channel entirely based on profit margins and expensive suits. You always keep it real 8-bit guy.

[@NecroDingus]

Excited to hear you're tubing full time. I love your channel and couldn't believe "Dime Bag" Darrel was your cousin. What a small world. Good luck!

[@trans_beauty89]

That's awesome! As long as its products like this that fit your channel, you have my support for doing future reviews. :)

[@AbbasSaleemKhan]

love your show. been watching it for a few weeks. congrats on going full time.

[@guyh3403]

Wow. That is one helluva thing to have! Thanks for reviewing. Keep up the good work.

[@nikopack7571]

I love your videos. This really gives me a time-travel back to when I wasn't alive (pre-2000) Thanks!

[@audreyoldaccount9233]

Hey, remember to feed the cat.

[@benakanecrophile2878]

[@kanyegaming5296]

*_F E E D T H E F U C K I N G C A T Y O U C O M M I E_*

[@CarfDarko]

Just got mine today, thanks to your review!! Love this neat little device ;)

[@Pascal666...]

Your vidoes are the best ! I have watched them all at least 3 times. Keep up that great work. Greetings from Germany

[@robert357900]

Because you usually not making unboxing you just don't make it annoying ("oh look, we have this, and this in this, oh look at this foil" etc.).

[@Stijn081]

Don't worry man. As long as the product is actually worth it, and it has you talking in it, I'm in. Happy New Year and great video!

[@TLerpo]

I wouldn't mind the occasional review. Make sure it's honest like this one was, it's nice to hear the honesty. I would say to make sure you do the same kind of introduction like this, make sure we know a sponsor sent it to you :)

[@stephwhite24ify]

Thanks for subtitles !! It's really help me because I'm french !! Nice work mr 8bitguy !!

[@Guitarhero1000]

Don;t apologize for this. I enjoy your videos no matter what. You have a great gift of editing and your voice overs are not boring.

[@hakachukai]

Cool video! Don't let the haters get you down

[@borrellipatrick]

I'll probably use one mainly for the fm radio. It looks cooler than a cheap radio from Wal-Mart 😅

[@josjong5522]

But it does not seem to show the RDS radio station names. Just frequencies. Not very handy.

[@AwesumIndustrys]

Jos Jong Most radios don't do that.

[@ScornDefeat]

You're spoiling us, man. ....keep up the good work. :P

[@Porygonal64]

This actually looks really rad! I've been meaning to get a radio, and this might be pretty cool and sort of streamlined, with it being easily connected to my phone.

[@moserfugger6363]

I really enjoy your videos. They're always well made and last just the right amount of time to present the topic properly. You seem like an honest guy who really loves what he's doing. So even if you're doing some more commercial videos now and then, it wouldn't bother me at all. I wish you all the best for 2017! :) Greetings from Germany!

[@keops1366]

nice start into 2017...you made the right decision to follow your way...keep it up

[@uckytrike9111]

3 vids in 1 week? Yep.. it's def. your full time job now :D

[@The8BitGuy]

Actually, I'm still employed for a few more weeks.

[@uckytrike9111]

Oh yes, right. Like you said in the vid before..until the end of january? Btw will we see a few new airgun videos - since you have some spare time?^^ They were cool as heck.

[@gentuxable]

Reviews like this you can post anytime (and please do more)! We just don't like KZbinrs reading off the press kit and ignoring the downsides turning off their minds, we can read those ourselves on the official website if we wanted that. I mean which other youtuber would put the effort to connect a piano to test the latency? This is very important for some buyers.

[@KevboKev]

Three videos in less than a week!!! My head is about to explode!

No worries David we love your channel! Even if you do this kind of videos. KZbin gonna be your full time job so I can understand why you do that. Happy new year

[@TheGeekPub]

This is actually pretty freaking cool!

[@Kikomk121]

So happy to see you upload more keep it up love you're videos :D

[@shadowschyther1259]

You're not a sell out m'dude you were honest, that's all that matters. We all appreciate that.

[@Maximum]

Hyped for these 2017 uploads!

[@ZiMZiLLA]

It looks like one of those products where I would really really want it, but once I had it I'd never use it beyond the first hour or two setting it up and playing around with it. Which is how most things I buy on a whim end up!

[@LittleTrader968]

Thanks for the honest review, I have added the Divoom Timebox on my shopping cart at amazon, going to compare with other devices before hitting the buy

[@joefonicello]

I quite liked the video and appreciated how upfront you were. Cheers

[@milesofsky]

I'm fine with the "sponsored" stuff like this that stays with the feel of the channel. Have fun, and congrats on going full time!

[@realvivifromloona]

YESSS ANOTHER VIDEO FROM YOU :D Now i know what to watch!

[@deborah_chrysoprase]

This is exactly how sponsored content should be done. You clearly disclosed it in the beginning of the video not only that it was sponsored content but that you got the product for free, and you still made sure to pick and choose content that was relevant to your channel. Most importantly, it held up in quality to your other videos as well. Keep doing like this and no one should have a reason to complain.

[@caltechengineer9762]

Wow, I've been looking for a pixel clock! Thanks Dave!

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

I knew you lived in Texas and I never heard much of an accent until you said "alright". I've been looking at this thing since I saw the LaMetric Time Wi-fi clock but this is the first time I've seen someone really exploring the uses of it. I kind of wanted it to be a bedside clock, but it seems like I'd be missing out on a lot of the features having it relegated to a bedroom. I'd like for it to be able to show me interesting information though, like be able to open one eye and know the time, weather, if I have any phone notifications, and where my pants are.

[@Edvardius]

Radical! It's soo pretty! :)

[@mauricevandeursen7729]

I have had one of these for months now (black version) and I use it as an alarm clock. Absolutely love the thing, it's an eye-catcher in the room. Highly recommend it.

[@kalebjuliu7944]

Another video already,wow this is awesome

[@AmyraCarter]

Definitely looks like something I'd have in my collection. Really neat.

[@tommyvercetti888]

thank you very much Murray! I find that learning something old can not only all about glory but it really helps my study. I'm going to studying game design and computer science, and some of these episodes are really interesting, like how old school graphics and sound works. Old school computers and programs are not obsolete at all in education extend, it is simple, so easy to understand, and inspired me that how maths actually applied in computer. you have no need to bother something like pointers in c++ which is so annoying.

[@Stephen1424]

Just saw these today at the show, and I'm really tempted to buy one this week

[@johneygd]

That divoon box looks awesome, it's a must have for any audience type.

[@matyastoth4886]

I already love the new upload rate

[@francesurrenderedtogermany]

Good luck with full-time KZbin-ing! If you ever get offered to review something in line with your channels again, I don't think anyone here minds! Thanks again for the new content :)

[@thecaptain2281]

I think it's kinda cool. It's a speaker with some bells and whistles. And it's got some fun features.

[@thorhelgeson3274]

This was pretty cool! I wouldn't mind if you did more...

[@just_a_saeu88]

Hey!!! new subscriber!!! First video I watched from your channel...hope to watch the rest of your videos!

[@evanrobbins5915]

Hey no need to apologize so much personally I come here to see whatever you think is cool so keep doing you!

[@feIps_]

As always, great video!

[@pinfarmer]

Selling out and not being real will kill your viewership. You are wise to stay on the straight path. Looking forward to the up kick in videos. So happy you are full time now

[@hypefox6056]

I don't no y I like these videos but for some reason I love it

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Its the unwrapping. Its like getting something new and unwrap it.

[@seanblah12]

Have you seen the Game Frame by Jeremy Williams? Quite a lot like this but much higher quality.

[@geektome4781]

“I only read manuals as a last resort.” -The 8-Bit Guy

[@onlinespeedy8108]

I always like these sort of things, I just like to mess about with them! Thanks for reviewing this, ill probably get one!

[@JyLMGroup]

Yey, a lot more uploads with the free time!

[@konstantinostheodoropoulos8482]

Please make a video about the iMac G4 you have. I think it would be very interesting...

[@themrpoopo]

Que buena noticia la de su trabajo como youtuber a tiempo completo !!! no puedo esperar a ver más videos !!! (full time youtuber !!! good news everyone !!!! can't wait to see more videos !!!)

[@hernancoronel]

Nice review! If I may say so please don't say "I won't review commercial stuff" but rather "I hope I will find related things to review that cater to the chanel!" I'd bet the audience would love it! Keep up the excellent content and congratulations on your becoming a full time KZbinr!!

[@dreamspheree]

yo, don't apologise so much for doing this kinda work, if you feel like doing it just do it. you did good, heater gonna hate anyway why waste the video time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@AdrianCastravete]

Hope you get well soon! :)

[@HypnotiZeYT]

you can change the speed on animations BTW

[@emetobot7449]

I have no issues with you reviewing products sent to you by companies, as long as you make it clear that a company has sent you the item, and it fits the theme of your channel. Honestly, I think you would be a great reviewer of a lot of the emulation gadgets out there (like your plug'n'play video), and other products of that nature.

[@nelexin2944]

Thinking of reviewing the FM-Towns or MSX computers?

[@Citizen_Se7en]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!! You've got a Timex Sinclair 1000 on your shelf... I had one of those when I was a kid. It was my very first computer (before I got a Commodore 64). I'm SO jealous.

[@BEEEELEEEE]

Looks cool. Might get one. The scoreboard function could be useful for my gaming club.

[@JamesPetts]

Did you remember to feed the cat?

[@Evan420]

happy new year!

[@Emelin-cr8nc]

For me,you are best youtuber. :)

[@teckzusferalupus5382]

That's a good honest review!

[@jacknicholson1288]

Great video, usually I wouldn't like things like this but you certainly encouraged me to get one, if they were a bit cheaper that is.

[@BlackRedandDEad]

glad you're being honest with us about the reviews. I agree with you, I don't mind the "sellout" reviews as long as they're relevant to the channel.

[@azbesthu]

Actually it would be useful to me as an "on air" sign on my desk. While working sometimes it is hard to see if I'm only listening some music or I'm in a call with my other colleagues :)

[@D3ltaLabs]

nice review thanks. I like the retro icons they look pretty on it

[@TDPEquinox]

Doing a review of a product sent to you for free is entirely fine! As long as the review isn't being impacted at all by the influence of to company, all is fun and legal!

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

I don't mind these shows! Especially if it's something different and neat like this. Ah heck it, I ordered one of these! For 62 bucks, my boys will enjoy it too!

[@omnipossum92]

I just saw these in a catalogue I was about to throw out so it's pretty good timing that I see this in my recommended videos now.

[@ryanslocumb]

I wish you showed off the notifications feature. I would love to have it setup on my desk and anytime i got a notification it would light up to that icon. Such as discord, facebook, tests, and so forth.
