LGR Oddware - Fortune Telling Devices & Software 

That Blue Screen of Death when you clicked future was amazing.

"It doesn't look nearly as cool as it does on the box." could be Sharper Image's corporate motto.

i could tell during the q-ball executive you didn't want to deal with it anymore

4:02 HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED

God, the Qball is one of the most obnoxious things I've ever seen.

Yeah, the que-ball thing looks like a vaping alien.

I think Cyber Tarot just tells the future of your presently running Operating System.

"Will I ever get married?" "Not in a million years!" That was pretty funny

Q-ball looks like an uncomfortable bicycle saddle.

Huh well given that the magic 8-Ball is just a big USB button couldn't it be use as say, a massive quicksave button? That might actually make it fun.

*Windows blue-screens* Clint from 2017: "I guess that's the future!" Should we start calling you Nostradamus?

I've always been very intrigued by tarot. The "future" card you had looks like The Tower, which would be interesting since it's a card that often represents a collapsing of the currently stable forces in your life. Then bam! The computer crashes with a blue screen of death. Probably a coincidence... right?

The USB 8 ball was like the entire production crew of the Star Wars prequels, it says yes to almost everything.

Wow, that Q-Ball thing is atrocious. I usually have to wait at least a few seconds to be done with something bad, but that thing managed to be annoying since the very beginning.

New York Times April 1, 2017 Obituary Report Today Clint of Lazy Game Reviews (LGR) has passed away. Autopsy shows the cause of death was blue screen. A fatal exception 0E occurred at 0028:00001049, and LGR was subsequently terminated. The outcome was predicted by the program "Cyber Tarot". The accuracy has not only prompted a return of the company to make a sequel, but has also prompted a police investigation. LGR will be remembered as the man who reviewed pointless things for laughs. Even at the expense of his own life. -Random Journalist

The consistency and quality of this channel is superb. I always look forward to new uploads. Great work is all i can say.

lol "We get it, you vape." Clint, we absolutely LOVE your channel. I'm working my way through watching all of your vids, and my lady loves your sims videos! Please, don't ever stop being awesome nor doing what you do!! We

"Hundreds of generations", eh? Tarot cards being used for divination only goes back to about the 1500s. Even if we allowed for a generation to be 15 years (half the actual average), that's still only 34-35 of 'em.

With how affirmative the 8-ball was, ask it to see if we could potentially get a good Duke Nukem game in the future! Worth a shot at least right?

Yay my Toy Story reference wasn't missed 😊

...It's just a button... -every apple mouse, probably

if a company employee doesn't have that weird fortune telling pen holder thing, i usually pass over them to give someone else that executive position. Nothing screams upper management material more than seeing a crazy looking alien codpiece complete with metal rod protrusion on someone's desk!

Please never stop making videos

As a (novice) Tarot Reader myself, I think the concept of using Tarot to read the future is quite silly. It was invented by an Italian priest/artist as a parlor game. It wasn't until the 1700s/1800s that people used it as a type of "fortune telling." Its really just a Rorschach Test that's been all dressed up.

When I see this executive decision makers, I always picture some guy in a suit in the corner office behind a desk going, "Should I fire Wilkins?" ... BOING BOING BOING! "DEFINITELY!" "Maria, you wanna send Wilkins in here!"

That BSOD was hilarious

The blue screen moment was pretty hilarious..

5:15 i see a playboy software box What are you gonna do with it, LGR? :^)

Oh, Sharper Image. I remember going to the store in San Francisco as a kid and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. So much overpriced nonsense. I love how their mini catalog has the "Wee bot family trio" robots that look suspiciously like the aliens from Batteries Not Included.

Clint's look of utter frustration/despair/disappointment when the executive Q-ball sound started up... a more perfect reaction could not be found. "Professional" indeed. Though I could imagine Michael Scott from The Office using it.

The Q-ball is something to make small talk about while pouring some drinks for the client you're about to swindle into a deal, that's what makes it executive

Back in the old Windows days a blue screen predictor would have been nice so you could save first.

Every time I hear Clint start with "Greetings", I think "Hey, that guy would make a great voice actor..."

You should be more careful with tarot, combination you got there is known in the trade as black sign or leaking capacitors and two closed goodwills.

I love the idea of a 90's/early2000 tech exec who based all their decisions on that sharper image executive fortune teller. THIS IS WHY WE NO LONGER HAVE LYCOS!!!

I worked at The Sharper Image for a few months. This is the sort of amazing quality that experience taught me to expect.

"Tarot has been a trusted source of divinations for hundreds of generations." that implies its been around for AT LEAST two hundred generations Tarot card have been around since 1400, as a generously early estimate. The text on the first page of the book says this came out in 1994, giving a 594 year time span of Tarot use from their inception to this program's creation. Even with the highest reasonable time span and the lowest possible number of generations, 594/200=2.97 Implying that there was a new generation every 2.97 years. Humans cannot even remotely reach sexual maturity before age 3. You could argue that small animals like rabbits can easily make this generation quota feasible, but the fact that this is a computer program with a manual written in English strongly implies that this is a human-centric program, and thus wouldn't make references to the life cycles of other creatures without specifically mentioning the distinction beforehand. Assuming that generations occurred every 15 years, as another generously low estimate, it would take 3000 years to reach 200 generations. That would place tarot cards as having been around since around 1000 B.C. There isn't any evidence of paper being around in that period, much less cards of any sort. Conclusion: This tarot card program may not be strictly reliable.

I recently picked up a Tandy EXECUTIVE DECISION MAKER, from the early 80's. It's a wood grain desk toy, powered by a single battery, that serves the same purpose as a magic 8-ball. You push a button after asking your question, and it'll illuminate one of 6 boxes with an answer. It seems like something that'll be right up your alley.

"......well, that's very professional". Lol

I was summoned by the phrase AESTHETIC and Vapor Wave.

That thing came out in 2011, yet the screenshots in the manual were made with a Windows XP computer... Says a lot about Perfect Solutions.

Nice entropy question, but it should have been the last question.

Has there ever been an enfranchised COBOL programmer? I know people who still use LISP (1958). I always thought 'Outlook Not So Good" was commentary on Microsoft's email client.

I absolutely love the 'targeted' advertising that this video popped up for me. Now I can potentially find out if I have "the true Magick abilities to cast spells", and have a link for online chats with the "world's best psychics"!

That BSOD was the funniest thing ever! It's like you planned it.

Love how you just googled "fortune teller" and just picked out one of the first images to go on your desktop - proper lazy game reviews! 😴

"This position shows the outcome of this issue if you stay on the present course" :D

This episode is like a bottomless treasure chest of funny Clint faces!

2017: These are uncertain times 2020: Hold my magic 8ball

*"We get it, you vape"* Chuckled hard.

Copyright 2011? WTF.

I'm quite disappointed in the fact there's no cartoony god voice echoing things like "IT- IS- DECIDEDLY- SOOooo"

The future is a blue screen? I mean, sometimes it feels like that's what my mind is doing I guess.

Glad you got to do my question (Pam)! The Tarot reading crashing was hilarious.

LGR is the only channel I watch that makes me laugh out loud. Great stuff.

I like how is was just a flat out "yes" for Half Life 3. Your mention of vaporwave also pleases me.

You got me literally on the floor when that BSOD popped up! Hilarious!😂🤣

"Because these are uncertain times." That line made me think this vid was from 3 weeks ago, not 3 years hahah.

Is it me, or are that 8ball answers positive 9 times out of 10?

Watched a few dozen of your videos and this is easily the funniest so far. I realize thats not usually the goal but you can definitely pull off funny in this type of setting.

That face after Half life 3 confirmed; you always make me smile LGR! ♡

"And it happens that Qball Executive learned how to reverse Entropy. And Qball Executive said: 'May there be light' And there was light."

excitedly waiting for your new pen reviews.

Every time you hit the Sharper Image thing and the sound of the glass breaking plays, I expect Stone Cold Steve Austin to pop out and review it with you.

I just found your channel and I LOVE it dude. Keep up the great work. I'm a fan of collecting old stuff like this too since I Grew up with it and it feels so homely still. Here in the UK we had a lot of little fun things like robot toys that plugged in by usb to your computer and would do things like read your email.

Does using the Cyber Tarot make you a Cyber Tarot-ist?

I thought tarot started being used for divination in the mid-late 18th century. So that claim of 100's of generations seems like a blatant lie.

The future: BSOD! Man, that was perfect.

This episode was very entertaining. Thank you Clint!

Clint's laugh is the best.

The face you made when you started using the Qball was great

I lost it at the Blue screen

Oddware is always cool. Those where really great questions thank you Clint's fans on Patron.The 8-ball seemed to say yes too much. Did you ever find out if it where just a mouse? Also it seems the tarot cards are predicting the end of the world(or that's what the blue screen means to me. ) LOL.

Also very hilarious and timely BSOD. I laughed just as much. You were all series, in the moment acting for the video and boom, BSOD. Totally threw you off and me as well. Great stuff.

Funny how 'These are uncertain times' applies in different ways in different times.

I can't believe Clint's tarot program predicted 2020

The computer nailed that last prediction. Humans are going to descend into a self made catastrophe.

"Guess I'll try entropy" *blows the QBall exec up* "Y'know, that IS better!"

Nice that you decided to use the Woodgrain PC for that "Cyber Tarot" thing. I also like how the back of the box for the Windows version shows screenshots of the Mac OS version.

I'm so glad I watched till the end!

'these are uncertain times' (checks the date) ohhhhh you have no idea..

"Will The Sim 5 suck." "Give it some time." Well, that was accurate.

Holy shit. I still have the Q Ball in storage. The audio/sound effects/answers are exactly the same as this one. I’ll never forget how obnoxious that thing was, and I never expected to see it’s existence acknowledged on LGR. Or anywhere, for that matter.

Oh LGR, I love thee with much appreciation and anticipation

I have watched you almost every day when I saw the first video more than a year ago , you are cool and funny, you are a computer nerd like me keep the good work up

12:33 I bet you truly didn't see that BSOD coming! LOL

Loved this video so much please do more Oddware :D

Will I watch this video 2 years after it was recorded? "You may rely on it."

4:02 That Face.... Is meme worthy.

That was great, got a good laugh from this one. Love ya LGR!

Your laugh makes me laugh haha! The ending was perfect lmao

9:00 ohhh.. that's sad to know.... Thanks for one more amazing video, Clint ;) Cheers!

What the heck is executive about the Qball thing? If I heard that coming from an executive's office, I'd probably question the hiring practices of the company.

It's been so long since I've heard floppy drive noises like that, brings back good memories.

I saw Ys in the background, maybe a review is in our future? Great video as always!

byber tarot is the most reliable program for showing you when you are going to get a BSOD.

Great ending lol. Love this channel.

i love your laugh! its geniune unlike other creators who just force it out

Can you please cover USB ANSWER 1 - 7?

I can imagine Michael Scott having a Qball Executive.
