Kyle Krueger straps on the Pip-Boy, checks its green-screen menus and discovers that even its pretend glitches have a physical fix: smack the casing.
"This Fallout Pip-Boy Actually WORKS!" has reached roughly 4.8 million views, the largest audience for his three new uploads. The Fallout replica brings the game's wrist-mounted computer into his gadget collection, complete with character statistics, simulated radiation detection and Atomic Command. The practical extras are a working FM radio and a side flashlight. It isn't actually checking the room for radiation, however convincingly the interface plays along.
Viewers are imagining it as serious cosplay equipment, proposing a cassette-playing version and asking for a connection that would display their live in-game stats. Others remember the phone-holding Pip-Boy supplied with Fallout 4's collector's edition. Kyle's little unboxing has become a place to compare generations of wearable wasteland kit.
Elsewhere, "I'm RETURNING Apple's First Folding iPhone" passed a million views, while "World's Most Futuristic Desk Setup" introduced CyboPal ONE, a desktop robotic terminal that follows movement and responds to gestures and voice. Kyle specifies that the unit is an engineering build, not necessarily the finished retail version.
The busiest video right now is older than all three: "This Sleep Tracker DOESN'T Even Touch You!", a paid partnership with Hatch about bedside sleep tracking without a wearable. Across the channel, daily views are running at nearly twice their usual level, and the subscriber audience grew over the week. Phone Repair Guru also added subscribers, while iJustine and CrazyRussianHacker had quieter daily viewing than usual. For Kyle, the week's range runs neatly from tracking sleep without touching you to wearing an entire computer on your arm.

@Lordofoof1See it on YouTubeFor any kind of serious cosplay this is absolutely fire
@samsonhaze6595See it on YouTubeI remember the collectors edition pitboy. You could fit a phone in the screen bit and came with an app, that actually linked to the game you were playing on the PC so you could see your real time stats etc. Was awesome lol. Still got mine in a cupboard somewhere.
