Lasergames (Canned Video)

Couldn't have been all that cold in the garage if we couldn't see your breath. Come visit us in western NY state in January if you want to see what real cold is! :)

well the shaky cam is a bit annoying, but not as headache enducing as a lot of modern action films. outside of that you explain the difficulty shooting all of this due to the nature of a laser projector, so I don't feel like the majority of thr shots look bad at all. the soft "glow" of the bright laser lines reminds me of old footage from the mid to late 80's of video games and "laser" style graphics that were popular. I am glad you posted it and will try to repost on the regular channel, this is something unusual and I've never heard/seen it in action so it is worth discussing. :) Also, Hope the Holiday away has been amazing!

Awesome video! I’m thinking this projector would be amazing to play games outdoors on a summer night (I have an outdoor projection screen). 🕹

Another great production. Personally I don’t think the shaky selfie cam detracts from it, but then again I sure there a small majority of trolls that would delight in pointing it out. I pretty sure the vast majority of your subscribers will enjoy the video. One thing that I am surprised no one else commented on, was the closing scene to camera where you appear to be looking straight towards the laser. Surely not a good idea.

I liked that and found it interesting. Personally, I think I'd re-do your opening to-camera piece in your "office" adding a few stills of the projector - which we didn't really see at all - and make it public. (Or you could ADR it. :-)

I am all for more 'failed' videos, we get educated and you can say why it did not work, just give in a prefix maybe?

If only a tenth of YT videos had the finish and quality of this "abandoned" one, the world would be a better place. Where's this lack of self-confidence coming from? I liked it, but then I totally love vector graphics anyway. Reminds me to check my Vectrex, it has been in storage for a while now, better get it out for it's regular testing ;-)

Brilliant and BRIGHT colors, even if all the squares were rendered as circles. Looks like fun!

Didn't clock the word "canned" in the title before watching, either. Enjoyed it! :)

I Enjoyed it too!

That was actually really good, sir. I'm not sure why you found it to be of a poor quality. The little visual glitches here and there were just fine. Thanks you :)

I also liked it. The technical issues both of the device as well as of the recording are quite understandable. The only problem I see is that it starts without explaining what it is about, but I guess that is because you abandoned it, isn't it?

Loved it.

I think anyone who has played vectrex or arcade vector games will get enough from the video to figure out just how sharp and vidid the graphics will be. Star Wars, the original vector-graphics game based on the first movie, is still my favourite arcade game from that era, it is such a vivid experience and it looks amazing.

A lot of these games seem to be taken directly from Vectrex games. I recognise Mine Storm, Armor Attack and Star Hawk anyway.

That's good news. I agree with the others, with a disclaimer there's really very little here to complain about. Very entertaining, this one.

Haha, I guess I am an hour late to the party and you've already taken the decision to reissue this one- but I agree 100%. This video was GREAT! Thank you.

Thanks to your positive words I've now gone back and re-edited it, adjusted the exposure a bit, added a new intro and it's scheduled to go out in about five weeks. That's how far ahead I am now. I'm working on a few other videos at the moment, so it's more than likely this won't be the only one published that week. But if you get a sense of deja-vu in Mid April you aren't imagining it.

I didn’t read the description before I played the video and didn’t realize it was a canned video. I didn’t find anything to complain about while watching it on my Apple TV / Plasma setup. I quite enjoyed the look at the games and it was interesting to see your projector compensating for the complex graphics! Very cool, thanks for sharing :)

Hmmm.. I guess I don't see the problem with this video. I enjoyed it, and I 'm a pretty technical guy and have no complaints about it. Granted, I admit I don't know much about laser projectors so if you got some information wrong, I am not aware of it and maybe somebody else would comment. But I think 99% of your viewers would enjoy this video.

We actually subscribe/donate to watch videos like this, that's the point, keep them coming!

Very interesting - I think you should top and tail it as normal and post it. The vast majority of your followers would enjoy this as I did, I am sure.

Rather enjoyed that. I loved Asteroids, Missile Command, and Tempest back in the day. My childhood memory insists I was good at them despite evidence to the contrary.

I didn't mind this this at all, and found it very enjoyable. Thank you!

Matt Parker has done a similar video. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHjG759ABY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHjG759ABY</a>

Man, this takes me right back to 1982, when I was living in a garage. JK. I'm old enough to remember laser shows (the Pink Floyd one was was memorable) so spending 9 minutes watching a laser projector review was time well spent. Oh, and yeah: selfie sticks are a bad idea. :)

Good vid. Maybe you should reconsider putting it on you tube as it accomplishes was it sets out to do; well, I found it informative and fun. Thanks for sharing.

I did enjy this one. The only part that could be improved was the shaky selfy stick non gimbal camera at the beginning. But I have seen much worse. So what. Thanks for finally sharing.
