The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Classic Game Room (commonly abbreviated CGR) is a video game review web series produced, directed, edited and hosted by Mark Bussler of Inecom, LLC. The show reviewed both retro and modern video games along with gaming accessories, pinball machines, and minutiae such as gaming mousepads and food products. The show broadcast its reviews via video-sharing website YouTube under the screen name 'Lord Karnage' until late 2013, when they moved to Dailymotion, citing issues with YouTube. In May 2014, via the Classic Game Room's Facebook Page and YouTube channel, it was announced that the show would again be posting episodes on YouTube. It also moved onto Patreon and Amazon Prime, before being cancelled in April 2019. After a four-year hiatus, the series returned to YouTube as Classic Game Room 2085 but was short lived due to declining viewer numbers not justifying the cost of making episodes. The series currently continues as Classic Game Room: The Podcast, where Mark talks about various aspects of games, music and general pop culture using his own signature flair of humor, insights and sometimes fantastical "real life" space stories.
