Sioux Falls? If you have the misfortune of shopping at Walmart and spot a bearded dude named Justin in electronics, tell him his friend from Iowa with the crazy hair says hi.
At approximately 1:04, the curtain was pulled back, revealing the Wizard behind it all! Fear not Benny, your secret is safe with your loyal followers. 🤗
Right off the bat I could not help but notice the complete Kate Bush discography among the CDs. I heard one of her songs recently and really grew to like it that song being Wuthering Heights from the Kick Inside album. Brilliant song considering she wrote it as a teenager!
I'm happy to see you've moved in and are safe. I know it will take some time to get used to the new place, but I'm sure you'll adjust. Looking forward to the new season!
**waaaaay too excited** If we piece all the frames together we can make out his whole face!!! I...I mean if that’s something you would be interested in... **picks at the hem of her skirt, looks down, and walks away, mumbling**
No way! I'm only an hour away from you. Funny, when you first announced your move I had guessed Lincoln NE. My first (and only) trip to Sioux Falls, I was pulled over by cops in the first 5 minutes.
Welcome to the upper midwest! I grew up near Sioux City, IA, and remember visiting Sioux Falls on various occassions. So I admit I’m pretty excited knowing one of my favorite TH-camrs is somewhere that I’m actually kind of familiar with. I’m sorry to hear about the flood mess. A lot of the streams down my way are still swollen from all that rain.
Your new LG TV would have also included 3D using polarized glasses, had the company not decided to be dicks and remove it. I bought one of their 75-inchers last year to get a good 3D set while I still could- 4K is a half-baked format as long as it can't also do 3D. (And yes, all of the default settings are WRONG- first thing when getting a new TV is always to set everything properly!) KELO? They should be required to use Electric Light Orchestra for their news theme.
Seeing you start anew at your new location... cool Seeing your face...cool Hearing that a Record Rip-offs episode is in the works? Most exciting news of the bunch!
Just for note: those "trumotion" things can cause lag in videogames (not that modern LCDs are laggy already with old consoles, due to internal composite upscalers, Component & HDMI don't have this issue), so turning it off might be your best bet, that is unless you have a flat-screen SDTV somewhere in your house.
Man, I feel your pain, sorta. The past July I only moved from Asheville, NC to Raleigh, NC but moving mine and my gfs stuff was brutal. Especially because I went back and forth over the course of a couple weeks to move my A/V gear and television because I didn’t want the movers to pack that stuff in the Budget truck. And I was also working in progress of the move, sleeping on an air mattress before my girlfriend brought all the rest of the furniture et al. And bonus, it rained the day all the stuff got to Raleigh!
Love your music collection. Especially Shaggs' Philosophy of the World. Exquisite taste. Glad you're all moved in! Can't wait for more content from you.
Glad you’re at your new home and digging the new turntable, TVetc. I’m curious if you’ll do an episode on surround systems. Maybe a brief history and your experience in installing one. I have a 5.1 system that sounded great but too many damn wires and my old lady doesn’t like it. I’ve seen plastic covers at Home Depot but haven’t given it a try. Anyway, I’m going to wait until I move to mess with it again but would be interested on your take Good luck Ben
Dear Benny Boy, I was so excited to see and hear that you've moved only 3 hours from me :) If you ever get over to the Mid South (center) of Minnesota, I would absolutely love to meet up with you and show you two of the best thrift stores I know of in my area. My fiance says that this idea is super creepy, but I don't mind being a weirdo lol. And it would even be cool if you wanted to wear a surgical mask or tie your box around your neck for privacy lol :)
That Nightmare Before Christmas LD box is massive! Have you featured it in a previous episode? I love it when companies go all out with a release like that.
Welcome back! I guess you would've moved to New York or something on the east coast. BTW, nice setup at 18:00. You got a TV, a Blu-Ray player and a 5.1 surround sound system. I have my vintage gear including my Realistic STA-100 receiver, my Sony SQ Decoder (SQD-1000) for decoding SQ quadraphonic records, and also use as a surround sound system where it hooks up to a 4-channel mode like the Electro-Voice EVX-4 Decoder, a mini-amplifier for the rear speakers, my Samsung DVD/VCR combo, and my PS3 along with some game consoles.
I grew up in Sioux Center, IA, about 50 miles from Sioux Falls - shopping day trips there were a regular part of my childhood. It’s pretty nice, try Burger Time! And visit The Washington Pavilion (don’t know how it holds up now but as a kid it was a ton of fun, and I’ll bet they still have a 360 degree IMAX dome)
Cool, glad to see you doing more videos again, Ben. NICE setup you got there, with looks like a LOT of room -- and you DEFINITELY seems WORLDS HAPPIER where you are now; KUDOS TO YOU! :-) BEST OF LUCK, HAPPINESS, GROWTH and CONTINUED SUCCESS ( and MORE videos from you, too! :-) ) Oh, and WHAT A STEAL/BARGAIN you got, on that furniture (think it was < $300 or something that you paid for it, and it was originally @/near $1,200)! I also don't have much furniture in my apartment -- mostly due to working 7 days/week, since 11/2013 (started in early June, 2013), and I BARELY have ANY company over, for that matter. ;-) I've been following a LOT of the Q/Q-Anon stuff, etc., but I try to get back to you every now & then as well. Well, once again, BEST OF LUCK, etc., to you with EVERYTHING, Mr. Ben Minnotte! :-)
You happen to take visitors, Benny Boy? I'm an aussie, but I may be facing a trip to the states sometime down the line for family reasons, would I be able to check out Archive HQ if I'm in the area?
I'm already having a minor, perpetual heart attack at the cost of regular storage units here--about 25-35% more than in Denver. I haven't seen any hybrid business/storage places.
19:20 People love superheroes with more representation, I guess. I'm not a big fan of them either, so. 19:53 Oh, that's the Soap Opera effect: th-cam.com/video/AUipoxcYtas/w-d-xo.html
You can turn off that fluid motion crap often called "TruMotion" and much in the way that "Tru" is not the way you spell true "TruMotion" is not the true motion of anything as it artificially increases the frame rate of the video and it looks like crap.
Sioux Falls? If you have the misfortune of shopping at Walmart and spot a bearded dude named Justin in electronics, tell him his friend from Iowa with the crazy hair says hi.
Duly noted.
I see why you moved to Sioux Falls, it's in SD.
lol
At approximately 1:04, the curtain was pulled back, revealing the Wizard behind it all!
Fear not Benny, your secret is safe with your loyal followers. 🤗
And he's back - yeah! Must say, we saw more of your mysterious face in this ep than you ever would seeing 'How To Basic's face, well done!
Ben is HowToBasic. Change my mind.
I think Benny boi has briefly shown his face in one of the halloween specials
It is rather amusing that KELO's website includes the slogan "Your Home." Legally different enough from KLAK.
Right off the bat I could not help but notice the complete Kate Bush discography among the CDs. I heard one of her songs recently and really grew to like it that song being Wuthering Heights from the Kick Inside album. Brilliant song considering she wrote it as a teenager!

4:49 Missed Oddity Archive / Another Dirty Room w/ Dan Bell crossover opportunity!
With Rick stealing the show with his antics as usual, no less!
Ah an archive and dan bell fan! Guess it’s not just me. They go hand in hand though
Epic Mouth Reveal 2018
FromtheWordsofBR technically a pseudo face reval?
Perhaps so.
I'd like to think it was accidentally on purpose!
**waaaaay too excited** If we piece all the frames together we can make out his whole face!!! I...I mean if that’s something you would be interested in... **picks at the hem of her skirt, looks down, and walks away, mumbling**
Hasenpfeffer to you too Ben! Welcome home!
No way! I'm only an hour away from you.
Funny, when you first announced your move I had guessed Lincoln NE.
My first (and only) trip to Sioux Falls, I was pulled over by cops in the first 5 minutes.
I was betting either Lincoln or Las Vegas.
Were you speeding?
Tornado1994
Nope. New car, no plates. No ticket. But it was literally 5 minutes after we got there.
We did one circle through downtown then left.
Hey, welcome back Ben! Shoutout to that copy of Eegah on laserdisc.
Really? That dumb movie on Laserdisc? I thought it belonged on MST3K.
I’m from Sioux City I drive up to Sioux Falls all the time.
Congrats minotte! welcome back bud!, i was expecting to wait litteral months for you to release a new episode, you where messing with us whernt you :P
Good old motion interpolation. Makes everything look like its shot with video cameras...
Welcome to the upper midwest! I grew up near Sioux City, IA, and remember visiting Sioux Falls on various occassions.

Congrats on the move. Can we send a new box for a housewarming present?

KELO? They should be required to use Electric Light Orchestra for their news theme.
Who broadcasts in 3D anymore? It's all 4K HD, chum! 😕📺
Seventy-eight RPM records? Yes, let's hear some . . . .
Oh great now the piece of wall in the background is on the left side that was a big change Benny boy lol
Congratulations Mr. Minotte.
Seeing you start anew at your new location... cool
Seeing your face...cool
Hearing that a Record Rip-offs episode is in the works? Most exciting news of the bunch!
It felt so good to hear another person say they don't like superhero movies. I have hope for the future of humanity again.
3rd. I'm a Xennial and don't like Superhero movies either.
Me neither, and I'm a Gen Xer.
Hollywood's unimaginative minds on display.
I also don’t like superhero movies.
Just for note: those "trumotion" things can cause lag in videogames (not that modern LCDs are laggy already with old consoles, due to internal composite upscalers, Component & HDMI don't have this issue), so turning it off might be your best bet, that is unless you have a flat-screen SDTV somewhere in your house.

He's Back the Man Behind the Box.
1:04 we did it guys we kinda saw his face like if only by accident we finally got to see behind the box!
"accident" yeah sure okay bro
2:21 Benny's mouth
You were watching The Bold and The Beautiful😀Glad to see things are starting to fall into place for you!
congrats on moving, hope for new archive episodes soon!
Love your music collection. Especially Shaggs' Philosophy of the World.
Exquisite taste.
Glad you're all moved in! Can't wait for more content from you.
Careful Ben we almost saw your mug!
Omg I love this already! Enjoy the new place. Welcome to the new season :)
you should do an analog broadcast history of sioux falls episode
Are there any low power analog stations there?
Finally catching up on the episodes I've missed. Ben, your show is a treasure.
Welcome back!! Hope you’re doing well in your new digs!
South Dakota? But you played the Laverne and Shirley theme and that was set in Milwauke, WI.
And in Los Angeles CA.
Glad you’re at your new home and digging the new turntable, TVetc. I’m curious if you’ll do an episode on surround systems. Maybe a brief history and your experience in installing one. I have a 5.1 system that sounded great but too many damn wires and my old lady doesn’t like it. I’ve seen plastic covers at Home Depot but haven’t given it a try.
Anyway, I’m going to wait until I move to mess with it again but would be interested on your take
Good luck Ben
...1970s-1990s TV station signoffs next episode??
btw...kickin version of Laverne & Shirleys theme song....imo!!
Congrads man! Too bad it wasn't Dallas! Thanks for all of the content, and good luck!
Agreed, was hoping for Dallas too!
I was hoping for Dallas or Minneapolis.
Congrats on the move. If you do watch any local sports, I went to college with the sports guy at WDAY.
Dear Benny Boy, I was so excited to see and hear that you've moved only 3 hours from me :) If you ever get over to the Mid South (center) of Minnesota, I would absolutely love to meet up with you and show you two of the best thrift stores I know of in my area.

Congrats on the move, I hope Beautiful Downtown Sioux Falls works out well for Archive 2.0
Space-efficient speakers...please. If they're not at least file cabinet size and made before 1975... ;)
Welcome back! I didn't realize you even had a mouth.
Congratulations on getting set up in the new HQ - even with the setbacks.
That Nightmare Before Christmas LD box is massive! Have you featured it in a previous episode? I love it when companies go all out with a release like that.
I think I glossed over it in the original "Tour of the Archive" episode a few years ago.
Welcome back!
I guess you would've moved to New York or something on the east coast.
BTW, nice setup at 18:00. You got a TV, a Blu-Ray player and a 5.1 surround sound system.

welcome back! Is that a new box!!
Patreon drive for lighting.
Good job on the move!
Sioux Falls. I lived there for two and a half years and have no desire to go back...
I was wondering why Sioux Falls? New job?
You don't live in Aurora anymore?
I said Minneapolis-St. Paul, so not too far off.
Nice place, Benny-boy
2:21 pause at the right time and you can see his mouth ;)
Did you get a new box?
nice new place Ben :D
I never thought the highlight of my day was seeing some guys mouth on TH-cam. I'm glad you got a fresh start, Ben! Good vibes, my dude. 👍
This is ironic, I happen to be living in sioux falls as well. I came across your channel by accident. Watched about 6 episodes and found this one.
Hey, you have the same Blu-Ray player my dad has!
I grew up in Sioux Center, IA, about 50 miles from Sioux Falls - shopping day trips there were a regular part of my childhood. It’s pretty nice, try Burger Time! And visit The Washington Pavilion (don’t know how it holds up now but as a kid it was a ton of fun, and I’ll bet they still have a 360 degree IMAX dome)
And congrats on the new turntable, hope the results prove to be a clear upgrade (I’ll bet they will)
Look up the AT-LP120 preamp removal mod (and do an episode on it, possibly) - audiophiles swear it makes the sound better
I haven't set foot in the Washington Pavilion in years. I'm sure I will again at some point.
I see. You have Family in Sioux Center IA/SD, right?
Cool, glad to see you doing more videos again, Ben. NICE setup you got there, with looks like a LOT of room -- and you DEFINITELY seems WORLDS HAPPIER where you are now; KUDOS TO YOU! :-) BEST OF LUCK, HAPPINESS, GROWTH and CONTINUED SUCCESS ( and MORE videos from you, too! :-) ) Oh, and WHAT A STEAL/BARGAIN you got, on that furniture (think it was < $300 or something that you paid for it, and it was originally @/near $1,200)! I also don't have much furniture in my apartment -- mostly due to working 7 days/week, since 11/2013 (started in early June, 2013), and I BARELY have ANY company over, for that matter. ;-) I've been following a LOT of the Q/Q-Anon stuff, etc., but I try to get back to you every now & then as well. Well, once again, BEST OF LUCK, etc., to you with EVERYTHING, Mr. Ben Minnotte! :-)
My nickname in high school was rear speaker
EAS no
he is a POLITICIAN and talks out of his butt?
4:09 That minecraft cow sound caught me off guard
wonderful to hear you transitioned safely ben.
1:04 accidental full Face Reveal!!!!
did you watch the soap opera in "soap opera vision"?
It's got to be a step up from CarpetVision™.
The even numbered ones were better. Lmao. I just couldn’t resist. Lmao
Hey man, not to far from the cities. Come check us out some time!
OH MY GOD I *LOVE* LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY!!!!!
I mack and build bookcases.
Ben didn't have so much of a face reveal as a...mouth reveal.
You happen to take visitors, Benny Boy? I'm an aussie, but I may be facing a trip to the states sometime down the line for family reasons, would I be able to check out Archive HQ if I'm in the area?
I'm an Aussie as well - we should invade Archive HQ on mass!
It'll be the greatest Australian military strategy since the Emu War!
I wanna storm in and visit Mr. Minnote.
South Dakota?! Well I lost that bet.
Go the Lazy Game Reviews route and get rental area for most of your video work / archive storage.
I'm already having a minor, perpetual heart attack at the cost of regular storage units here--about 25-35% more than in Denver. I haven't seen any hybrid business/storage places.
1:02 There internet, happy now?
With no couch ever, where does the heavy petting happen? Congrats on the new digs!
Let's be real. That's not something that happens too much in geekland.
OddityArchive Sioux falls, *land of opportunity*
Hasenpfeffer makes Ed sneeze.
Fish photos?
19:20 People love superheroes with more representation, I guess.
I'm not a big fan of them either, so.
19:53 Oh, that's the Soap Opera effect: th-cam.com/video/AUipoxcYtas/w-d-xo.html
Woot! I spy a Kate Bush CD collection!
finally a mouth reveal
Ben has a mouth?!
wow ! Ben show the face ! He looks like Samoa Joe from WWE
Hello, Shirl...
You can turn off that fluid motion crap often called "TruMotion" and much in the way that "Tru" is not the way you spell true "TruMotion" is not the true motion of anything as it artificially increases the frame rate of the video and it looks like crap.
Well, I called it. You're in a red state!
And he's probably feeling blue.
Anymore politics & Benny's going to turn purple! 😩
25:16 aaaaahhhhhhhh...
*Look t that place! I would hate to see where the poor people are living!*
Ben why do you keep hiding your face
That information is above your pay grade. 🖥️
*So you live in SD? What the hell is out in SD? Colorado seems better. Why id you move to such a shit hole.?*
