Am I in focus? I don't know, we'll just uh, we'll say that I am
because I don't know what I'm doing here yet, new spaces man!Uh hello everyone and
welcome to LGR's digital basement. Greetings or whatever, yeah things are
changing here on LGR. And that is because I have moved. So yeah I'm sorry if you
got freaked out by the title or so-- yeah the future of LGR is looking positive!
But I just don't know um what exactly the immediate future is.
Like I don't even know what I'm doing in here yet, I just literally set up a
camera just now like a few minutes ago for the first time in here. I haven't
even tested it,
done anything for sound proofing or whatever. This room is actually pretty
good because it's, you know, it's a basement. And yes I am moving, like
everything. Ah you know I previously had stuff in
other locations and some things in storage and stuff where I filmed in one
area that wasn't my house, and you know there were, like. Just a lot of things
rented and then now I'm bringing them all together, mostly, hopefully. I don't
know, I mean I've got a bit more to work with. Y'know I've got this whole room
here which I know you can't see but it's it's sizable. And the others I mean, yeah
I'll be doing things to them as time goes forward. I'm getting a lot
of the, y'know like, house stuff taken care of: repairs and updates and upgrades and
renovations and just... stuff I want to change and customize to make it
more to my liking. But also just you know, to better make LGR videos
within. You know that's kind of the whole deal here is because
I would like to continue making LGR stuff but uh
more... space. So yeah i've got this room to work
with, and I got this room to work with, and I've got this room to work with, and
I've got this room to work with, and i've got this room to work with. And there's
also a standalone storage building to work with. It's already electrified and
everything it just needs, well, it needs a lot. So I'm not showing that yet. I don't
really know what immediately comes next, so I'm
sort of asking for your understanding and patience and
ideas! Encouragement! But yeah I just hope that this is nothing but a good
thing, like that's my whole goal here is to, you know, make my own personal life
better but also LGR things as well. You know I wanna -- I'm literally looking at
seven shelves over there right now that are full of projects that are
partially complete. There's just been a lot going on [chuckles]
so uh if videos have seemed kind of scattered or maybe not as in-depth?
That's why. There's been more of that lately but just because I haven't really
had the time to put into the projects that are over there that need a lot more
work. So yeah like back in January or
something this year, in 2022 being the year of record. I was just going through
all these kind of things and being like "man you know i've put off moving for a
long time," because of the housing market and pandemics and just all these things
piling up or whatever. And it was only kind of getting worse. So I started more
seriously looking in January, February, and really March finally got the ball
rolling on some things and seeing some places in person. And finally
found this spot in March sometime. It seems like an eternity ago but yeah.
Ran across it, seemed great, needed some work first. But that's okay, there's
always stuff you want to change anyway if you're like a YouTuber, building a
YouTuber space. There's just a ton of weirdness
that made finding a place more interesting than it even would have been
otherwise. And I do have a lot of plans too in terms of building sets and
like a collection room over there and more of a filming area over there.
And in that room it's going to be kind of half storage
half filming maybe depending on what things
end up being. I don't really know yet, I'm just kind of figuring this out
over the past month. And then these next few months or something, so that's why it
felt important to say something now as things are just going to be changing
kind of a lot. And I don't know what form they're going to take yet, but I really
do want to do something like a -- like a room that's up there, this is a 1970s house
so I want to do a nice proper 70s room. I've always wanted to anyway, but I'm
going to kind of use some of the basis of one of the rooms up there and then
build like a wood-paneled, maybe some hideous wallpaper, and some other stuff
like that. You know cool old lights, just all like late 70s to the mid 80s type of
things. Yeah the rooms that I grew up in that were outdated even back when I
remember them. But I think it'd be really cool to have that kind of an area to not
only film in but just play around in. Have some fun you
know? Get out my AtarI 2600 and enjoy that. IBM PC you know, stick that in a
nice little wooden corner or something. It's just stuff that I wasn't able to do
in my previous place because it was small.
And the other place was like, just for work and storage, so I wasn't over there all
the time to just enjoy it. And I'd like to start enjoying things again
if that's too much to ask? I don't know. And I know some folks are going to ask
like "are you going to do renovation, updating,
building game room vlogs, or moving vlogs or any kind of video content like that?"
Not really, I don't know. It's honestly overwhelming enough
to move everything from multiple locations and
get it all set up again in a halfway timely manner.
Not to mention like the past couple weeks have been nothing but getting all
of these fixes done to the house, and updates, and getting the rooms ready to
even move stuff. Which is why I'm not even "moving" for another month. So yeah,
probably won't be doing videos along the way. I might be taking some footage of
stuff if it's interesting along the way, maybe make a video after the fact, but
don't necessarily expect vloggy type things. So uh, yeah. That's
where things are at at the moment. I don't really know
what in the heck to expect next, but thank you for watching, seriously.
I mean it's because of your watching and sharing and engaging and
all that kind of stuff that this is possible. This is as good a time as any to
shout out that I do have a Patreon and I've had that going since 2014. I don't
talk about it very much just because I don't -- you know like, if you really want
to find it, it's there. It's just one of those things where I don't feel like
nudging people every single time. It's the same reason I don't ask you to like,
"like comment subscribe" or do any of that kind of stuff. It just doesn't -- it's not
my jam, not my vibe. But y'know, I do perks or
whatever, showing videos early and sending out signed floppy disks for
certain tiers. As well as one that i've sort of revamped recently, it's the five
dollar plus one where it does kind of behind the scenes videos like this every
month. And usually talking for like an hour, an hour and a half, just about the
things going on in LGR and behind the scenes and in front of the scenes.
Y'know they've known about the house stuff for a long time now. But uh yeah, it is
also like a Q&A thing at the end too so it's kind of like half
update half Q&A, I call it the LGR Wrap up. I don't know man. There's just so much
potential here. It's really really exciting.
Yeah. Oh man.
I just don't know when I'm gonna actually be able to start doing work
again, and that like genuinely stresses me out you know? So,
it is what it is. Anyway that's about it. Or is it? Can we
do anything here in this house? I mean I can show you like one sort of
weird little half -- I mean it's just a room I'm putting crap in in the meantime.
Let's go take a look at that. All right so I'm going here
and uh yeah at the moment just kind of have random crap
in here to to keep me occupied while I'm like,
in between uh various repair crap, and whatever
going on. Yeah I don't know I just have things here as I'm sort of like, sorting
through stuff. And um
Yeah there's a fireplace I don't know what to do with that. I don't know, burn stuff.
But yeah I've ah, got all these out for the first time in
I guess ever. In terms of them all being out at once.
Yeah this is my small box PC collection.
Or at least part of it, I think there's another couple of boxes.
But this is just some of them that I was getting out of storage because yeah. I'd
like to get these out onto like a shelf. That's just three boxes, there are six of
these. I mean maybe five. A lot of this stuff has been packed up since...
since I moved last time. Yeah I don't know the next time I'll have all these
out, hopefully here pretty soon. I just need
to decide on a shelf to get them stored
and then uh, you know. Store them.
Or display them, I guess is more the accurate term.
So yeah, these are just random wire rack shelves that I already
had and I just don't -- I don't know where else to put them at the moment so I just
put them out because I want to get them all like organized, just kind of like
see what I have because I didn't exactly know. I mean, I had it written down but
I didn't know where they were, and
you know, it's important to go through and look at the sizes of all the boxes
and all that. Y'know the depth of them, because these change in depth depending
on the game. So I want to make sure that any
shelves I do get, or build or whatever, are going to be deep enough to hold them.
You know some of these things get rather deep,
like look at this ridiculous thing. The heck.
Yeah like the Myst trilogy, that one's a bit of a
beefier one. Some of these Elder Scrolls collections, yeah that's not as deep.
It's just a little bit thicker. But um anyway. That's it I guess.
Don't really know what I'm doing with this room yet.
Nothing is finished, nothing anywhere in this house is
finished. Not yet. Well I mean there's like the one room in there that's kind
of more or less done, I'm not going to do too much with it. Yeah I think I was
starting to lose the plot there in that end ramble, so let me redo this here.
Um, yeah just all this video to say that I
could have said it all in 10 seconds or whatever. And I kind of have other places
but yeah. In the process of moving, have moved some
stuff, haven't moved other stuff. There's just a lot to go through and I don't
really know what the the next bits of LGR content over the
next month or two are going to be yet. And it's not because I'm like, changing
my format or I've you know gotten careless, and I
don't care about doing well-researched well-edited videos anymore. "Oh man he's
filming this with a cell phone he must suck now" or something. Like i've already
gotten a bunch of those comments this past month because of, you know, just
been making videos that I think I have the time to make. I'm always a little
hesitant to do anything slightly different,
because if I do like one or two videos slightly different in a row then people
are like "oh no LGR sucks now, he's changed, and is no good anymore."
Or you know whatever, there's all kinds of stuff like that that always happens and
I try to ignore it, but it gets to me anyway. So uh yeah, that's all this is.
I hope that you stick around for the future
because I really do think it's going to be some cool stuff coming up. I've got so
many things lined up. Like I said like just -- just tons and tons
of projects that are not quite able to be done right now and it's
literally driving me nuts because I want to just dive right back in.
But I gotta get you know, houses and
rooms and stuff settled first, which sucks.
Anyway. All right, that's it. Thanks for watching!
