Dick's Gadget Warehouse & How to Submit Your Viewer Video.

The link to our Gadget Warehouse viewer video of the week arrived with this email:

Hi Dick and Chad,

I just wanted to share this gadget that I picked up while on holiday in Tokyo, Japan. This gadget is a hybrid of a new gadget and something that belongs to the gadget warehouse. :)

Among video game hobbyists, there is a popular trend towards "retro gaming", where people do their best to play old, original games on original hardware. I happened upon a shop in Akihabara (Tokyo's famous electronics/hobby district) that specializes in retro gaming, and this is where I picked up the FC Dual.

The FC Dual is a video game console that allows you to play Nintendo NES and Super NES games, plus a whole lot more! I just had a trippy time playing my original 30+ year old games on this brand new console. (And for the geeks out there, this is a purely hardware console -- no software emulation at all!)

Hope you got a kick out of this!

Sincerely, Ton-ton Manila, Philippines

P.S. In case you use this video on the show, would it be ok if you send the Mad Magazine to my cousin who lives in the US? Thanks!

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos!

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

-

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.

-

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.

-

My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.

-

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.)

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week:

Steve Davidson game shows & Chad on Brushwood

You mentioned in episode 1567 about how many game shows Match Game did in a week. Steve Harvey recently told his daytime studio audience that he does all 200 shows for the upcoming season in 8 weeks during the summer. This works out to be 5 shows per day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks.

Also, Chad claimed that he was never on camera with Brian Brushwood except for the Indonesia thing. He is wrong. Here is a link to a video he is a part of:

I'm not sure this is the correct place to email this, so please send back something letting me know you received this, or I'll try somewhere else to send it. Thanks.
