Classic Game Room

Mark Bussler and David Crosson, better known online as Classic Game Room (formerly known as 80s Comic, CGR Publishing, Lord Karnage Radio Drama, Classic Game Room, Turbo Volcano and Lord Karnage), is an American YouTuber who does reviews of various different comic books. The channel was originally known for a video game review show that was produced, directed, edited and hosted by Mark Bussler and formerly hosted by David Crosson. 
The show reviewed both retro and modern video games, and even pinball machines, diecast cars, action figures, mousepads and food products. Since 2008, CGR has since expanded into different channels, including CGRundertow (reviews hosted by Mark's friends Derek and TJ), CGR Trailers, CGR Garage, and CGR Toys.
==History==
Originally titled The Game Room, it was the first video game review show on the internet. The series made its debut on November 7, 1999, on the website FromUSAlive. The show ran until October 23, 2000, but ended due to budget issues.
Classic Game Room returned, this time on YouTube, in 2008. This time, the show was solely hosted by Bussler, though Crosson made a cameo at the end of the Captain America and the Avengers review.
In 2013, CGR's screen name was changed to Lord Karnage. In late 2013, Classic Game Room left YouTube, and all future reviews were subsequently released on Dailymotion. This caused a great deal of controversy amongst fans and other video game reviewers. On May 8, 2014, Classic Game Room returned to YouTube.
On November 2, 2015, Mark announced that the show would highly slow its production following the end of the 2015 year. Changes would include the shutting down of the show store and its secondary channel CGR Undertow entirely ending production. Bussler stated that this is due to a change in his life and he would like to focus more on his writing and film making. 
He also said that he would continue the show as a hobby similar to how it began for him. However, Bussler later opened a Patreon for the series at the recommendation of fans in order to keep the series operating as normal, but would be renamed Classic Game Room Mark3. The first CGR MkIII was released on January 8, 2016.
As of April 2020, Mark primarily makes reviews on comic books and mangas from the 1980s. He also does reviews on drawing products including various different kinds of pens. He sometimes does how to draw videos as well.
