On July 30th, 2017, Lane made a new Lost Media series called, Unsolved Mysteries, and his first video was on The Video Game Ref. On September 28th of the same year, Chadtronic created a Special Patreon Q/A, were members of his Patreon asks Chad a question. Lane (the same guy who made his VGR video) asked him a question about his old channel. <blockquote>"Saw a couple of you ask about this surprisingly. Video game ref was my YouTube channel before Chadtronic. It was nothing special really, it only had 2-3 videos on it, all of them basically being NES let’s play videos. The videos were absolutely terrible, nothing near the level of content I make today. You’re not missing out on anything trust me."</blockquote> He explains that the channel wasn't special and had less video than expected. He also claimed that the quality of them was terrible.

It was nothing special really, it only had 2-3 videos on it, all of them basically being NES let’s play videos. The videos were absolutely terrible, nothing near the level of content I make today. You’re not missing out on anything trust me."
