| The Clinterview - Chilling With LGR | 24 Aug 2023 | 01:34:46 | |
Clint - AKA LGR or Lazy Game Reviews - started his retro computing and gaming YouTube channel way back in 2006. As others have come and gone, LGR's cozy, thoughtful, educational and - most of all - high production quality videos have stood the test of time. As a result, his channel has steadily grown to over 1.5M subscribers - not including his side channels LGR Foods and LGR Blerbs! So let's chat all about old tech, YouTube, and everything else that takes our fancy.
