LGR (originally an initialism of Lazy Game Reviews) is an American YouTube channel and web series created by Clint Basinger (born December 20, 1986)[2] which focuses on video game reviews, retrocomputing, and unboxing videos. His YouTube channel has been compared to that of Techmoan.[3][4][5] Basinger is known for restoring a Hot Wheels PC[6] and reviewing expensive vintage computers.[7] The channel is funded through YouTube advertising, and through Patreon.[8]

His video series include LGR Thrifts, Tech Tales, and Oddware.[9]
For many years, one of the most popular and prominent series on LGR was reviews of games and downloadable content (DLC) from The Sims franchise, beginning with a "Quick Review" of The Sims 3 in 2009. In total, the LGR channel features over a hundred videos on the franchise, mostly involving reviews, but also "LGR Plays" lets-play videos.
