Lazy Game Reviews, most commonly known by its abbreviation LGR, is an online video game review show by Clint Basinger (no relation to Kim Basinger) reviewing games mostly for PC, Amiga, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Apple Macintosh, as well as reviews of The Sims series. Despite the title, reviews are actually extremely extensive and detailed.The channel is divided into several shows: The normal reviews, where he goes over some game or hardware. He gives an in-depth history of the product being reviewed, going over good and bad points before giving his recommendation. A spin-off is Review Quickie, which is a shorter version and the content is more about his experiences with the game rather than an in-depth review. LGR Plays: A 20 minute or so video of him playing some game. Usually doesn't play the game for another episode, except in some cases. Oddware: As he puts it, reviewing "hardware and software that is odd, forgotten, or obsolete". PC Builds and Restorations: Videos of him building and/or restoring old computers. LGR Thrifts: Footage and commentary on his shopping sprees at thrift stores. Tech Tales: A few minutes on the history of a company that was around back in the early days of personal computers. LGR Blerbs: As he puts it, "It's just a spot for unscripted updates and random things...that don't merit a full video on LGR but are too large for Twitter."You can watch his reviews on YouTube. He also has a food channel known as LGR Foods, and a channel for extra, miscellaneous videos known as LGR Blerbs. | |

Not the Intended Use | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_20e20e99 | comment |
Not the Intended Use: Every time he gets a niche controller for Oddware, he plays a game that the controller was not supposed to be used with. So far he's done: Doom II with the Thrustmaster Wizard pinball controller Grand Theft Auto V with the Philips Virtual Pinball controller Doom (2016) with the InterAct Pool controller. Duke Nukem 3D with the Altara Felix Pointing Device (to showcase issues using it for games) and the Big Keys "ABC" Keyboard (in that the keyboard uses an alphabetical order layout, screwing with the controls) He used the Saitek Farming Simulator Controller (basically a steering wheel, pedals, and a control panel) on Doom and Super Mario Bros. 3. Though not a controller, he uses the view finder of an old camcorder (which was a 1/2" CRT display) to play Fallout 4 on. Similar to the previous example; he's played Fallout 4 and Cuphead on an old black-and-white TV set. | |

Funny Background Event | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: At the beginning of his Sims 3 University review, he shows a few other games in the background as he holds the cover up, as a typical opening to his videos. One of them is the 2013 SimCity reboot, with "DRM" written in Sharpie over "City." It later shows up in the review of SimCity itself. At one point during his Town Life Stuff review for The Sims 3, while listing some of the objects included in the pack, his Sim walks by in nothing but pink underwear. Given the nature of The Adventures of Ninja Nanny, it's fitting that the Windows 95 system clock on the lower right corner is at 4:20 PM for the entire video. | |

Artifact Title | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: As acknowledged several times, over the last few years the title "Lazy Game Reviews" is no longer accurate in any way — his videos are highly comprehensive and not lazy, he covers topics other than games, and a large portion of his videos aren't even reviews. Further discussed in the 2018 recap video, after which the channel's full title was dropped in favor of just calling it LGR, complete with a new intro. The sole exception are the December videos, which uses the classic holiday intro that uses the original title. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Aside from his firstnote currently available as of 2023 video that doesn't involve gaming (which involves Clint threatening to kill a doppelganger of himself), he made quite a few console reviews before mainly settling on computer gaming. In addition, he also copied The Angry Video Game Nerd in terms of style, demeanor and even appearance, changing his shtick from "being constantly angry" to "being too lazy to do proper review" (hence the Artifact Title). | |

Unlike standard Let's Plays, he doesn't continue any series past one episode, the only exceptions being his Duke Nukem 3D playthrough and a three-part playthrough of Wasteland, if only because his party died on the third episode. | |

Hell Is That Noise | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_61a503a7 | comment |
Hell Is That Noise: Invoked in LGR Plays Skyscraper Simulator, where starting a game provides an obnoxiously loud screech. Naturally, it's brought up multiple times as the main reason that This Is Gonna Suck. In his Creative Game Blaster review, he found playing Test Drive 3 wasn't exactly the best choice of game to play with the sound card. He had to turn off the sound when reviewing Vette! because the PC speaker handled the sound of the engine revving, which he describes as "instant ear rape". In a semi-behind-the-scenes video he made while filming a review using an IBM PCjr, the fluorescent light bulbs he uses reacted with the infrared wireless keyboard, making the computer think keys were being pressed rapidly, causing a never-ending stream of beeping noises. The gameplay music in the long lost shareware title Batter Up freaks LGR out, as it's nothing but two high pitched notes being played in succession. Unlike the other examples, he purposely kept the sound on to show it off. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Done twice with the #1 spot on the "Top 17 List" videos: In the "Top 17 Games of the 2000's" video, he initially crowns Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing (his #1 game in the "Worst Games of All Time" video) for the #1 spot, before realizing he has the "wrong Top 17 list" and quickly giving the real title to Half-Life 2. In the "Top 17 Games of 2013" video, Cookie Clicker is proclaimed to be the #1 game at first. Clint then jokes that he probably could make a genuine case for giving the spot to Cookie Clicker, before giving it to Grand Theft Auto V. | |

Accentuate the Negative: He is a snarky reviewer, so it's bound to happen. Aside from that, he does a good job of weighing the pros and cons of games he reviews. Though towards the latter half of the 2010s, the snarkiness starts to tone down quite a bit unless something about the thing he's covering annoys him. | |

Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_ad54ff39 | comment |
Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure: In earlier hardware reviews, he compared the size of what he reviewed to completely random items that most people wouldn't have just lying around. These included: When reviewing the Compaq Contura Aero, it was the same width as a PSP candy case and the length of a set of huge prop old-timey keys In the Zenith Z-171 review "It's about the same size as two oversized clothespins. So if you have one of these, that says about how big it is." The Bernoulli Box, at least the model he has, is about same size as a few half-chewed Garfield chew toys. Clint compared the AverMedia Live Gamer Pro recording device with several nonsensical items, until finally settling on showing it had about the same footprint as an Xbox 360 controller. | |

This is more common in his scripted reviews; for videos he does live commentary on (such as LGR Plays), he's prone to breaking into fits of laughter instead. While reviewing Mario Teaches Typing, when gameplay finally began, he gave an extremely technical explanation of how keyboard input works over what he called very dull gameplay. | |

Catchphrase | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: "NOPE!" He starts off most videos with a hearty "Greetings!" ("And welcome to an LGR thing!") The "Tech Tales" begin with him giving a brief summary of the history he's going to cover, followed by "What happened? This is LGR Tech Tales, where we take a look at noteworthy stories of technological inspiration, failure, and everything in between." The "LGR Thrifts" videos begin with him saying something random, then he says "Let's go thrifting!" “X of the Y variety.� He tends to use "daggone" and "daggonit" to express frustration and/or place emphasis on something. | |

Take That!: In his review of the Bowling Stuff pack, he comments that it's a pack no-one asked for, alongside the fictional "Broom Stuff" and "Deflated Football Stuff" packs. The latter has the New England Patriots logo on the fake cover art, as a nod to Deflategate. | |

Shout-Out | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Female Lazy Game Reviewer is represented by a picture of Kitty from Arrested Development. In his review of the Christmas game Rudolph's Magical Sleigh Ride, he points out that his copy of the game came in a jewel case for a program called Too Many Typefonts, and quickly makes the connection to Too Many Cooks. His review of The Sims: Movie Stuff notes some of the raunchier outfits included in the horror category, including one where "you're just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania." In his review of Zoo Tycoon, he states that the goal of the Marine Mania expansion is to successfully run a water park and avoid becoming the subject of an expository documentary. During his review of the Cities: Skylines expansion Green Cities, he notes the variety of new buildings in the game that float in the water, saying "Oh yes, Georgie, they all float." One of the features Clint shows off in his review of The Sims 2 Holiday Edition is the New Year's Bash, where Father Time shows up to your house and transforms into Toddler New Year at midnight. While showing off the dancing baby, a single "ooga chaka" can be heard in the background, referencing the "dancing baby" meme from Ally McBeal. | |

Food Porn: On his official Twitter, Clint started posting photos of his 'LGRwiches', his very delicious-looking sandwiches. After his followers exhibited interest in Clint starting a food channel, he obliged, and LGR Foods was born. So far, he's made sandwiches and noodles, complete with sensual jazz saxophone music, longing shots of the finished product, and a sign-off that says what everyone has been thinking the whole time. | |

Product Placement: Discussed by Clint himself in the "Red Baron Pizza Adventure", in which he discovers a copy of a Red Baron II that included a coupon for 75 cents off a 12-inch Red Baron pizza; since the coupon had no expiration date, this prompted him to go to a local Food Lion and use the coupon to buy the pizza. He then cooks the pizza in a stove before playing the game while the pizza is cooking. The result: the pizza turns out to be pretty good and tasty. | |

Homeschooled Kids: In his Batter Up! review, LGR says that he was home-schooled for part of his childhood. During this time, he would get many Edutainment Games from book fairs and shareware sources as part of his education, which is why he always has "Edutainment Month" each year and more generally has such nostalgia for PC edutainment. | |

Running Gag | |
Lazy Game Reviews (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Practice MOOOOOOOODE... Appearances from the Female Lazy Game Reviewer. The "Katy Perry Sweet Treats House of Pain". Clint's joking love of chairs.note This dates back to a time where he did a joke review of the Sims 3 in response to comments that his content is ignorant and overly negative, saying that the Sims 3 is actually a game about chairs because why else would there be so many of them? One of the Christmas clones reminding Clint it's December and he needs to do Christmas-based game reviews. In his reviews of The Sims games and expansion packs, he always makes sure to say his (usually negative) thoughts on the loading screen. In more recent videos, his love of woodgrain has become one of these. He mentions it repeatedly throughout his videos and on social media. This eventually led to him selling limited-edition woodgrain socks as a nod to his love. Packing Peanuts. Clint's spot-on impression of Duke Nukem. He does it even in videos that aren't directly related to Duke Nukem. For example, he does it in the playthrough of The Adventures of Willy Beamish by Pushing Up Roses when he sees a blonde kid wearing sunglasses in the game, and compares him to Duke. Lampshaded on the LGR Foods channel, where he acknowledges it took him several videos of using Duke's Mayonnaise until he broke out the Duke voice. Naming a system file "FARTS" while building or restoring a retro computer. | |
