Sendico added a portion of the wallet balance which paid for this video.

FULL TRANSPARENCY - I personally use their site off camera for myself anyway, and I am very fond of their website. I reached out to them to see if I could do another video with them, and unfortunatly with whats going on in the world, they were unable to pay the same amount as the last videos I have done with them. But I really like their website and I love GameBoys. So even though this was 1/4 of the amount they previously have provided, I was more than happy to talk about their site in another video.

Fun Fact: If you shine a UV flashlight into a GameBoy that previously had stickers on it, you can see them

@AnimilesYT 4 года назад

Fun Fact: If UV light hits plastic it starts to break down which releases methane (which is a 25 times more powerful greenhouse gas) and it will turn the plastic into microplastics which has proven negative health effects on fish, and it could have an effect on humans as well. (It's hard to set up a study to test this, since we are literally breathing plastic right now, and if you drink water there's a high chance that you're drinking plastics as well..

That cling wrap is actually incredibly strong when layered. They use it as palate wraps in shipping containers, it's a great way to keep heavy hard items from shifting.

Saitama Seibu Lions is a baseball team of course, and their mascot used to be Kimba from Kimba the White Lion. In Japan it's common for characters from anime/cartoons to become mascots. There's even a baseball team whose mascot is Snoopy! There's lots of discourse whether Lion King is plagiarism or not but still interesting nonetheless. Also that gameboy has a Tamagotchi Angel sticker on its back!

Hey, I've been loving watching your videos, very cool inspiring stuff. I've seen a few videos where I'm just wondering why are you not using some (maybe) latex gloves?

Hey Elliot, should I assume that the address in the description is your current address (meaning that you can receive items there during the lockdown)? I actually live in Japan, and come across some great deals on Yahoo Auc and Mercari. I might send you something someday (as a gift of course). I also have some game boy(s) pocket, game gears and other things that might need some repairing, but since I don't have much time anymore for that, I might end up sending them to you as well. Great video as usual. I feel happy when I see you happy with these deals :D

I recently bought a Nintendo switch and whenever I put it on sleep mode 3 seconds after a subtle short vibration comes from the switch itself and then after that it randomly does short vibrations and i can feel it when I put my hand over the console, sometimes they’re loud to hear! What can this be from? Is it bad??

@Kalvinjj 4 года назад

Those screens with absolutely busted polarizers are the best candidates to backlight mod, nothing to worry about removing a good polarizer since it's dead after all. The GBCs have only one polarizer on front with a quarter wave retarder stuck on it too, just like the original GBA and AGS-001 GBA SP too, you can repair any those screens with a circular polarizer (circular being in reference to the light polarization, not format). By the way, funny enough, shipping from Japan to Brazil is usually the cheapest along with China because of e-packet (that's tracked on top of that), and things go really crazy expensive if you want tracked packets from anywhere else in the world.
