Creator: Billy Coore

Billy Coore is a YouTube user who loves nostalgia and his childhood, especially in two particular areas:

Carolina Circle Mall, a shopping center he frequented when he was young (the first reason for creating his account); and
Old Windows 95 computers, especially Packard Bell computers, as his first computer was a Packard Bell Legend 822CDT.

He has also made videos of an old car, a 1995 Honda Accord LX sedan. It was his parents' car originally, but they gave it to him after they bought a new car.

All of his videos can be found here

. Official Facebook page here

On May 20, 2012, Billy announced that because he was having a problem with trolls, he would be leaving YouTube. On May 22, 2012, he announced that he would be staying.

He co-created the website Packard Bell Planet with some friends of his.

Billy's videos provide examples of:

Buffy Speak:
- His Packard Bell Legend 814CD has a "something-something-speed" CD-ROM drive.
- He used to call one of his old games "the purple game" because it had a purple cover.
Catch Phrase: "Hello, this is Billy Coore from homeofcarolinacirclemall.com / Carolina Circle City / carolinacirclemall.org / the Carolina Circle Mall Wiki..."
- And at the end of his videos, "This is Billy Coore, signing off on [date he's recording the video]."
Comically Missing the Point: In his overview of the Packard Bell Legend 3540, he opens by showing the computer with a stuffed Kermit the Frog toy. He says "Wait a minute. Something's not right here. Something is obviously not right here... I forgot to take this floppy out of this Packard Bell!" He does... and knocks the Kermit toy off of the computer in the process.
Deadpan Snarker: Billy is starting to show shades of this.
Don't Ask: Says this after typing "Merry Christmas! Don't put a fruitcake in your Packard Bell's floppy drive!!!!" in the Legend 814CD overview.
Early Installment Weirdness: It can be a bit awkward to watch his oldest videos centering around computers. His first Packard Bell video was much less in-depth than his others and it wasn't recorded with an HD camera.
Failed a Spot Check: In his Legend 818 CDT unboxing video, when he prepares to turn the computer on, he realizes he forgot to plug it in.
Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Played straight; the closest he has come to swearing in his videos is saying "crap".
Mood Whiplash: He experiences one in his Packard Bell Platinum 2240 overview, playing Skyroads Christmas Special.
Nostalgia Filter: What most of his videos run on.
Offer Void In Nebraska: He jokes about this when he notices the $99 Microsoft Works upgrade offer in his Gateway ML3109 Laptop review.
Running Gag: In the early videos, Billy would laugh at Packard Bell for including a lesson on using the mouse in its infamous Navigator environment, claiming that "The Nineties sure were an interesting time to live in."
Billy: A lesson on using the mouse, oh boy... WILL THIS JOKE JUST DIE ALREADY??
- In his overview of the Packard Bell Legend 130CD Supreme, he admits that he's out of "lesson on using the mouse" jokes.
- The gag came full circle when he finally took the lesson as a joke.
- Also, playing SkyRoads Christmas Special and Rage Quitting at Road 3.
- "Something is wrong here..." See Comically Missing the Point above.
Sarcasm Mode: "Oh my gosh, my life is complete! I now know what to do with Navigator's Info Guide! WOW!"
Self-Deprecation: "I'm not a very good gamer, am I?" from his second Dell Dimension 2350 video.
- Usually subverted: "I really need to get a life... not!"
Shout Out: In his early videos, he gives many to his friends.
- In the unboxing of his Legend 818CDT, he makes the "fra-gi-le" joke from A Christmas Story.
