90s Time Traveler Discovers The Metaverse 

hairline is so far back it can currently see the past thank you i needed this

Ryan likes things

No

I'm 1st

k

i remember watching it around 2006. so sad to hear about the previous host. glade it made it's way to youtube so i can watch the first eps.

Yeah, this show was recommended to me by my parents. I was born in 2007, so it was kind of dying off at that point, so I’m glad it was uploaded to RU-vid, my parents talked about it quite a bit.

All The Noises I Know How To Make is better, honestly.

yeah when it started to actually predict it was scary with the virus and the location changing made it worse knowing it could be that area or everywhere scary of what never made the show because of graphic content

i remember seeing the show live from the studio audience in the 90s ,then seeing the other side of the conversation taking place live outside on the street , and i said "oh it the guy from the thing from that show i was at that one time i let a raccoon lose during the thing, because it was super easy barley an in connivance"

*The Earth

you mean reality while talking to congress?

Ahhh yes the metaverse, the place where Mark Zuckerburg can truly be a god

In my opinion he seems more human 😂

wait he's a human!?!

I get the feeling he's actually alive in '22 & the reporter is just mad at him for not letting him come back.

@@keigoftw or the time travel guy killed him out of rage

@@keigoftw I don't think so. The first time the 2004 death was mentioned was when the reporter guy was allowed to go back to the original year

My theory is that 2004 is when the reporter finally gets back to the past and takes his sweet, sweet revenge on the host. At this point, he has found video of the encounter and watches it on repeat after every segment. 👀👀👀

A popular fan theory is that Time Traveling Reporter murdered him and that’s the reason he always changes the subject after bringing it up

And that's why he wanted that guy's leg. And that other guys's eye. Rodent hates cyborgs.

@@lightyagami1752 nah he hates robots because he was created along with others to service patients in a planetary insane asylum managed by robot clowns. After all the doctors abandoned the 'loonies' and left the planet he became the warden.

@@lightyagami1752 I love it when things make sense.

why the hell isent this a movie?!

LOL 😂

U say that now, but once they reach the level in integration they r trying to achieve, everyone is going to look at it as an amazing investment....or someone else will beat them to the punch and it will all b for nothing. Who knos

@@kyleferguson4236 I mean, its shittier Second Life with monstrously more investment and harvested user data. It serves no audience at the moment and is just a pain to use.

It did what other VR games did years ago, but worse and with less privacy

How's their crypto coin doing?

where mark aims is not even close to what he achieved so far i think

you turn on the news any point this week and you honestly think the world will exist in 2030? do you not know there are multiple countries pushing for nuclear war over a country nobody cared about... or knew existed. a country until February everyone called it "the Ukraine" because everyone thought it was just a Russian province.

We’ll only get a few years of it before. The host dies.

don't joke

@@jacobg6628 no they mean the host of the “it’s the 90’s” show because he dies in 2004

@@GlowstickRee but HOW?!

Call waiting is calling and it says you have to hang up to talk to it.

I could still here the sound.

My 90's Kid self would've been BLOWN AWAY by this information too at the time.

Ok...

Well, there's a high chance it's Rocket or Rocket was cloned from him, so...

that was video from the metaverse, who are warring with the matrix and di$necomrocrons.

It was super easy, barely an inconvenience

I can almost always tell when the video isn't real, and yeah it's authentic.

That and sending a racoon to fight in a robot war.

@@TheGregamonster Well... it may work a bit to help some guardians... to defend the galaxy.

🎵The show doesnt make sense conceptually when you think about it!🎵

It's... almost 30 years in the future.

Rocket Raccoon's origin story too.

One does kinda wonder whether he was actually holding the bloody chainsaw at the time...

I am almost certain that he finally gets brought back to the past in 2004 and kills him. Though there's at least a half decent chance now that a high tech android racoon got sent back to destroy him and the time machine now. :P

@@AttilaAsztalos I'm going with having a 90's microphone lodged in his throat. It would explain not being able to recognize words, but understand that he was absolutely trying to scream.

It's getting TIGHT

The reporter wouldn't yet have that memory, so I think the logical conclusion is that the host's death was caught on video and put on the internet, which is where the reporter saw it.

Nah. That was the 90's. Currently we're under the democracies of the world realizing that they can use transglobal agencies to get around the pesky "democracy thing".

Budgets don't pay people to be creative. Budgets pay people to be pandering.

*multi million dollar green screen

Evolving without opposable thumbs was not a limitation. That was a challenge. A dare. The Raccoon Federation has very humble beginnings. We began by raiding dumpsters for snacks and half eaten chinese food. That was only the beginning. Time is a cruel mistress, yet the future is filled with trash. Very, very tasty trash. Eventually we learned Kung Fu. The Great One found a discarded copy of Kung Fu Panda in the dumpster behind Best Buy. That became our Bible. We studied the tome. We learned every motion. We incorporated the artform of subterfuge and infiltration. Most battles were won or lost without a single shot fired. That is our greatest accomplishment. Now, only one question remains. Where the best dumpsters at?

That was the part were I lost my shit.... This was so effin hilarious

@@py_a_thon you need to write stories my buddy

@@becominghero9754 I am very content with my millions of words on the internet. Thank you for the vote of confidence though. I turned the internet into my public journal. People who wish to sell books can go talk to producer guy.

The Raccoon went on to be a guardian of the galaxy. Too bad we got nothing on that to show.

"How do I die?" "Fatally."

He's very bitter about being stuck in the future, so this is how he copes.

Plot twist: future guy kills 90s guy...

15 billion dollars and not a single furry or waifu avatar. What a fail

Well the hardware team is good, and they have some amazing researchers. The issue is their Horizon developers are indi with 6 figure salaries, and must just be watching cat videos. Billion dollar budget and using Unity engine and can't even come close to VRChat. Huh? FYI here are the avatars the Meta researchers made.

The year is 2022. I just put a "Like" on your comment.

"WHAT?"

That line absolutely killed me. Daumer would be jealous.

My fav part also

And who would EVER want to hold a serious business meeting with a bunch of Wii avatars?

And you can use the internet on the phone

And you can make phone calls on the internet.

What's more fascinating is that you use your phone to use the internet.

If you'd just rewire so the phone-line got to the dial-up modem FIRST, and THEN to the phones, you can use them both simultaneously without problems. We did 😋

@@SweboySMM2 how do you figure? Dialup worked by calling your Internet provider at which point your modem and theirs started talking. Unless you had two phone lines, there's no way to carry on two calls at the same time.

Is anyone else starting to get the feeling the reporter is the one who will be responsible for the Host's death?

@@KellAnderson Lol, quite possibly.

@@KellAnderson I had the Same thought

@@KellAnderson yes, he just said he heard his screams!

Plot twist, 2004 is when the reporter comes back to his timeline.

Or he killed him

A nightmare for people working at some companies in the future. Like Zoom only you gotta wear huge 3d goggles and it uses graphics from a PS2.

Same here. But it looks and sounds retarded.

Basically bootleg version of VRchat

It’s Second Life. It’s like Sims, but everyone you see in the game represents a person. It’s dumb. But Meta did it worse somehow.

@@MuttFitness That depends. Those are the best level graphics that will run on their AR glasses when they come out. Here are the Avatars if you use a PC with a dedicated GPU or the company streams it from their servers. VR streaming needs to be local, so that infrastructure needs to be built out, but that will be an option for glasses. Servers need to be close and internet needs to improve a bit as bandwidth is high.

I adore the fact that either A: the heads at Meta thought the name was cool and didn't care the origin thinking it was obscure enough that basically no one would notice. Or B: someone proposed to the heads the name without saying the origin and they all went with it. I think option B is funnier, because it means that someone know about the origin of metaverse and wanted Meta to basically sell themselves out. Either way their basically saying that they don't care what warnings are there they want money! (Darn publicly traded company)

​@@byronday8696any company with a profit incentive will be evil when push comes to shove.

You're talking about the company owned and run by a guy who's proud of being a complete asshole.

Yep, in a heartbeat

In Western countries it was that special period between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9-11. Everywhere else it was Tuesday.

The 90s were worse

​@PBSSpaceTime I gave your mom a special package

Especially for a straight white guy! 😅

i hope not! he'll be thrown in a room.

And then screenwriter guy will write a movie about this and pitch it to producer guy

*Murder on someone

My guess is when Reporter Guy FINALLY makes it back to his own time from our messed up time he's gonna do a murder on Talk Show Guy for sending him here and leaving him so long. Can't say I blame him.

@@driggs2109 Then Reporter Guy does a backflip, snaps Talk Show Guys neck and save the timeline

It happened like 18 years ago... still best not to think about it.

First guy to go swimming. Got eaten by a shark. "What is a shark?" Those drinking stuff animals that look like dolphins but are definitely not dolphins. "Why did he go in the drinking stuff?" Because the cinematic multiverse needs to happen.

I on the other hand hope we do find out.

The time traveling reporter goes back in 2004 and kills the studio guy.

I hope we find out and it was a mistaken identity afterall

And the raccoon who got shot into the future and undoubtedly became king.

This may be a bit dark but a good way to end the series: Host: “How do I die!?” Producer: “Fine I’ll tell you.” Producer: “A guy with a knife breaks into your house and stabs you violently while you were trying to run away.” Host: “Oh my! That sounds horrifying!” Producer: “Yep it sure was.” Host: “Wait a minute… How do you know about this!?” Producer: “UHHHHHHHHHHHHH-“

After we got a $400 phone bill one month, my parents were convinced to get ADSL.

@Evi1 M4chine 4K is a loosely defined standard that just means the resolution is about 4000 pixels in width. It has little to do with 35mm film, and a show filmed in the 90's likely wouldn't have been filmed on 35mm anyway. You're kinda ruining Duck's joke, to boot. :l

Did the dead Ryan from 2004 do this with his dial up modem? OR the reporter Ryan who never got home?

Too bad dead Ryan wasn't alive in 2005 when YT became a thing.

I remember sitting around a fire with my friends in the middle of 2001, drinking and talking. Most of us had just graduated high school and it was our last summer together. We were all 90s kids, obviously. One friend was leaving for the Marines. I looked around and said to the group something like this, 'You know, one day all our little problems and relationship dramas and rough edges now will seem silly. We're going to look back on this as the good old days.' And everyone kind of laughed. 9/11 was four months later. And it's all been downhill since.

@@dawnfire82 well yes but most of those two decades were very GENTLE downhill compared to anything since 2020. Well, except maybe 2008.

Very true! And yet, "It's 2022" got old in about a week!

@@dawnfire82 Yeah sorry about that, my bad.

How!? He said that he dies at 2004, but he traveled to 2022.

@@Shvmadogg _'It was hard to understand what you were saying through all the screaming'._ Sounds pretty clear that he was there and "saw" the whole thing! Even if he only read about his death, that kind of info doesn't get printed. It's something only the murderer would know. He might have "borrowed" the time-traveler machine before getting stuck in 2022.

​@@SweboySMM2or someone who witnessed it

Yeah, what would people even do with their time if they weren't constantly spending it on social media? They'd have to, I don't know, go outside and spend time with each other or something crazy like that

fyi, the internet existed in 90's. it first showed up in the 60's and was the modern standard by 1983.

Well, maybe Time traveler!Ryan was a bit put out about being stuck in a future with burning forests, Kombucha and meta, and got as far back as he could to pay a personal visit to host!Ryan?

@@0LoneTech How I didn't know about these guys is beyond me, but I am thankful I saw your recommendation. Thanks!

Lol, Outer Space and Timelapses must be new to this whole RU-vid thing.

Does he happen to come back in 2004, perchance? Perhaps a bit pissed about being stuck in the future for seemingly years and years? Maybe so mad he could kill?

I think the show is in 1997? So Ryan should keep the show going for 7 more years and then have 90s Ryan killed on set in the final episode in 2029, which will be 2004 in the show

Dumber actually. If you want to know what people of the 90s think about the present, just ask any 50ish, 40ish year old around you. They will probably make you sign an NDA, though. ;)

yea it looks like it shares the same quality as the movie foodfight

agreed, just because you 'can' do something, doesn't mean you should. Metaverse, what a waste of money.

It also apparently doesn't remotely help that the people working on it have no idea if everything they just worked on is going to be thrown out and they'll need to work on something different since the guy in charge changes what they are doing and focusing on on a day by day basis. Because this train wreck needed a train wreck conducting it as well.

Stadia: 😬

I guess you don’t understand the metaverse then

@@CoryPchajek It’s not really all that expensive.

@@CoryPchajek that’s not really the issue, the real problem is that horizons or whatever meta’s meta verse is called is just a significantly worse version of VRchat

Google is Alphabet now, and Facebook is Meta. Except Google is just one company under the Alphabet Inc umbrella, and Facebook is just one of Meta's webservers. It is not a rebranding as such, it is more a corporate restructuring or refactoring. Because any day now the anti-monopoly laws might become enforced again.

i wish i got paid to say Facebook sucks lmao

@@JohnBrown-tw2qi yeah, that's the long and short of it. VR chat is a chaotic fun house where you can build and host your own maps for free and be pretty much any character from any franchise or any original character you can 3d model. Not to mention the insane game modes and stuff people make, with maps existing that are essentially entire short rpg games. Why would anyone pay to buy clothing for a bland avatar or purchase real-estate in a virtual environment when there are just better games out there.

Oh, no... literally everyone says it, the actual fun part is when they call it an inferior version of Roblox.

So here's the thing. Second Life was inspired, but lacked the technology it needed to genuinely take off. Meta's "Metaverse" has the technology, but is utterly devoid of inspiration. The difference between accessing this kind of thing via either a 2D screen, or 6DoF VR with full body mo-cap, is absolutely profound, and something that the average person struggles to really grasp. But with Zuckerberg at the wheel, it's going nowhere. Meta's critical weakness, is that they're control freaks that are too scared to let their platform be anything other than a bland and generic mockery of what a supposed "metaverse" is actually about. They lock everything down, and force people to be these corporate cartoon clipart looking avatars. A major part of the appeal behind this kind of stuff, is the freedom to both create and become anything. Meta can't handle that. Which is why their biggest rival, VR-Chat, has an active user base that's in the millions of users (thus far doubling each year), whilst Meta is struggling to maintain even a few thousand, even despite Meta having something like 40'000 times more funding and a global advertising empire on it's side.

A shame that is not what the Metaverse is about. Every CEOs advertises Metaverse but it is not Metaverse, true metaverse means you can take your data on other platforms without any strings attached.
