its the weirdest thing I go to 2 goodwills regulary and the bigger one I go to dosent have many old PC games that often theres a smaller one by my work that for the longest time dosent really have anything worth while and they dont accept donations anymore (im assuming they get new stuff from other goodwill's and the warehouse) but the past 3 times I have been there they have had a good selection of 1990 - 2005 era games first time I found a game called Gun Metal and the past 2 times they have had a good 20 PC games there. Not anything in box but still in its original jewel case and a few other newer games I dont bother with since stuff like securom. Just to name a few I have got. Delta Force 2, Doom 3, Half Life Counter Strike, Unreal 2 the awakening and star wars battlefront

I can't help to say that little clips of this video are perfect for the beginning of a post-apocolypse type movie. Like around -13: 38, right when Clint says -what is this stuff! - [quick cut to a slow pan across debris ridden wasteland, portion of heavily sooted M&M figurines visible in pile]
[two silhouetted human figures scamper from corner of frame as pan slows to still]
[quick cut back to video] yadda yadda.
Even have a working title in mind. 'Good Will Toward All'

Sorry to comment on a video so old, but I kind of think you should do more videos with the same kind of content. I love that kind of feeling I have when I explore newly discovered Game shops and thrift stores. It's always like I can find anything just by paying attention. It's always a real modern adventure and an occasion to come across stuff I was looking for. or finding odd unexpected stuff.
I think you really captured that feeling in that video.

I remember getting our first computer from GoodWill.
It was an old thing with Windows 3. 1 and had the first DOS Wheel of Fortune on it.
Got a couple other ones from GoodWill after that, faster ones, and I'll tell you this, our best memory was the first and best King's Quest Collection with all those awesome extra DOS games.
Oh, and have you ever heard of FlynnSprint? Its an old Load Runner clone with awesome music.

Ha I honestly thought the thumbnail for this video was a joke, and that your brother was just an older picture of yourself pasted next to yours: P
You obviously look pretty similar, but the best version of this I have seen was a guy I was friends with at school called Keith, and his sister who looked identical to him aside from having long hair. I mean honestly we used to call his sister 'girl-keith'.

I'm so jealous of the entire aisle of electronics stuff at your Goodwill.
There's only a single Salvation Army within reasonable driving distance from my house and it literally has about 3-4 shelves of random electronics, mostly early 2000s cameras impossible to get film for anymore, and then just furniture and clothes for the entire rest of the store.

A semi serious comment: Dude. I want a boyfriend would go treasure hunting with me! Seriously. Brother, not so much though. That would lead to some deep seeded resentment since I'm an only child. My friends are like -antiquing-. Which is fun. Sometimes. But I love flea markets, thrift stores, Good Will, looking for old electronics. Yeah.

That Nilsson record! It's a classic totally worth grabbing if you see it again. It's the album where the song -One- (-One is the loneliest number-) originated, before it was a hit by Three Dog Night. Harry Nilsson was one of John Lennon's favorite pop musicians, even though they kinda competed. Real good stuff.

Yeah, Goodwill is only going to have something like that if they're a Goodwill Computer Center that allows vintage machines. Best bet is still eBay, but you may want to check with other collectors on forums like the Vintage Computer Forums.

Man I remember back when Goodwill had more cool stuff. Nowadays finding anything interesting is extremely rare, at least in my area. Oh, and nowadays you'd never find a console at one. They'd sell it on their website instead.
