[@ivanr3107]

oh, yeah, baby!

[@Keranu]

And the best part: LGR's intense head dance to that cheesy jazz music at 8:44

[@taben9jake]

I'd actually love to have this sound track, I collect mid 90's game music. It's almost like they bid and bought music by the pound those days.

[@WhoaIRememberThatGame]

I love that really subtle transition at 1:52 from box to internals. It just looks so seamless and cool.

[@LGR]

Thanks!

[@orihalchon]

Wow, i didn't even noticed that!

[@meppers]

he moved the outer cardboard shell out of the frame and moved the internal cardboard holder into frame, there were no tricks

[@LGR]

Actually, there were a few seconds between each shot, I used a crossfade to make it look seamless :)

[@Inatio]

Ah, well keep up the good work. You'll be a Pool shark in no time :)

[@RaygirlROL]

'Polygon were still worse at it than me'. Hah. I knew there was a reason why I liked you :D

[@prismowishmaster9352]

I came here to make a Polygon joke but he beat me

[@pistool1]

3:35 I found it absolutely hilarious when that sign dropped from the shelf :D

[@garryghibli5993]

Yep, definitely “super menacing”! He hit that sign off-screen!

[@KicaB4111]

Oh LGR, you're so amusing to watch; I mainly used your channel to watch The Sims, but loving everything from the edutainment months to the thrifts! Thank you for your work :D You're awesome.

[@LGR]

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

[@letsgetthisoverwith]

Oh so this is what Polygon was using when they recorded their "30 minutes gameplay of Doom" video. Makes total sense now.

[@yorkshireyank9885]

Did anyone ever in human history send in those registration cards? Everything in the 90s had one

[@LGR]

I sent mine in back then! Got all sorts of cool things in the mail after that, like catalogs and magazines. Well, my parents probably weren't too fond of it, but I loved it.

[@221b]

Koichi Sugiyama sent one in once, which is how he got hired to compose the soundtracks to the Dragon Quest games.

[@grant2053]

Unrelated, but if you did some more Tech Tails that would rock, they are always so great.. You do them so well, its like a mini Documentary that would have never gotten made otherwise.

[@LWolf12]

I did a few times, never really got anything for it though. Maybe like, LGR said some catalogs which was fun to look at.

[@danielm.7396]

WHAT? Please explain!

[@Ojisan642]

[@Stanwis]

Its so useless you would think it was funded on kickstarter :)

[@FirebertDancer]

that's the thing I hate nowadays how come useless things like this were always being made left and right back in the day but now it seems like nowadays companies try to milk out money from its fans first and still come out with something not as good (I'm looking at you mighty nine) (also I'm not talking about out of frustration from axtually funding the game, nut seeing everyone else's frustration in the KZbin comments was pretty bad. lol)

Harsh! (Looks better than almost everything that I've seen on kickstarter.)

[@duelingfattiesgaming2130]

Its actually pretty fun to use if setup right and used on a bigger surface.

[@JennyverseLive]

Bring back the 90s. Nobody has ideas quite like this any more! Also, boxes. And manuals. And registration cards. And stuff.

[@philjr5714]

Waste of money I guess it's unique but software is where it's at now.

[@Benjamin-rq1fi]

It's not that nobody has ideas like this any more, but rather most companies are far more reluctant to invest any effort in such a weird concept that has little chance of success. That's what kickstarter is for now! Fund haphazard innovation through the masses!

[@Chaos89P]

One of the times I actually miss the 90's.

[@technolentz7816]

i too miss the 90's but honestly if you want the registrations, add on's and some annoyances go to game stop :p

[@Bonswally]

I love the 90's, but I felt disappointed and ripped off every time I bought something like this.

[@squishybrick]

"8 ball into the corner pocket of hell!" I don't know why but hearing that makes me smile every time.

[@thestigmister]

"Why did the 90's happen?" I laughed harder than I should have! Someone needs to make a meme of that among other things in this video alone!

[@Lycanvenom]

I was literally going to type a joke about Arthur Gies' gameplay for Polygon and LGR beat me to the punch. It's honestly sad that you were gimped and still provided more compelling gameplay.

[@AmyraCarter]

It's probably 'Mee-ah-koh-meht' " 'Do not use in direct sunlight', hmmm where have I heard that one before?" *shows quick image of Sexy Mouse* lmfao The amount of humor between you, 8-bit Guy/Keys, and game-ranx is honestly what keeps me coming back. AVGN too.

[@BrightSpark]

Nah, they probably just have no skills because they just report on game-related drama, write shitty articles and talk about the politics in the philippines while stuffing their face with puff-pastry canapés instead of actually playing games.

[@Cool-Spot]

I wonder if the reviewer tried to outsource the gameplay and it backfired on him.

[@marco_evertus]

gdog662 I don't think so, even if that's the case doom is a genuinely fun game that even a outsourced (whatever) can enjoy.

[@darkleoz]

wait that Doom gameplay looked very familiar...the way he was aiming and moving now we know why the gameplay from the polygon review of Doom sucked so bad....the reviewer was also using the InterAct Pool Shark Pool Cue Controller

[@sockaccount9680]

I was thinking the same thing, Clint was indeed literally better the game with this weird thing than the guy at polygon. Did we ever find out who was playing it that day?

[@AlkaPwn]

***** Yeah apparently the guy's name is Arthur Gies. He made a single response to ReviewTechUSA in an attempt to defend his honor and then immediately blocked him thereafter.

[@MrFutago87]

***** I got reminded of a gameplay video from Gametrailers of Metal Gear Rising. The player was just standing there, activated Blade Mode and button mashed in the vain hope it would accomplish something.

Seriously, who at Polygon looked at that footage and said, "Yup, that definitely represents the game at its best." The more that they keep being hyper defensive about it, the more they will never live this down. 50 years from now, they will be still be known for not knowing what an FPS is.

Haha, glad to know it wasn't just me sucking then.

[@joesatchton212]

Heh, nope. You had the right idea starting around the 8min mark. But you're a righty, so it actually would have worked better for you if you placed the device on the LEFT side of the keyboard, just like you did around the 10min mark. :) This way you would have been using your left hand and finger to hold down/guide the cue and actually hold the cue in your right hand. Lemme know if you ever need lessons in pool. Or...if you wanna lose some money. ;P XD cheers man...and yes, ur channel is a new fave!
