Just so you and your veiwers are aware the internet archive is at risk of being shutdown and or restricted! We may lose tons of data from the past if that were to happen.
This ^ Most important comment on this video. As an IT professional, I can’t count how many times a day I use the archive for old drivers & manuals when fixing old pc issues, restoring old hard drives, etc. We simply cannot sit idly by & lose the most valuable resource on the internet. Its the digital Library of Alexandria
@nuggetkindgudind3548 You’re able to pirate certain games and media using it and some of the bigger companies are trying to sue over it even tho they already have plenty money
@@hayden980 Actually that's simplifying it a little too much. Essentially what happened was the Internet archive runs a public digital library for free use by anyone who'd want to access it. The way it works is the archive will buy a book and then rent it out to one user at a time to be used for a limited time frame, while the book is with the user it can't be lent to another user until it is given back. In that way the Internet archive was operating in a similar way to a public library, just via a digital format. The problem arose when the Internet archive lifted the restriction on lending limits for some of the books in the library as a response to COVID-19, as people couldn't leave quarantine. The free spread of books became cause of concern for large book publishers which then sued the archive and won, though the Internet archive intends to appeal the case. Sorry about the long winded post lol, just felt like I had to give a bit more context to this for anyone not in the know
This is what happens if your only mode of storage is digital. If your machine breaks down, or if solar flares take place... you lose everything (and by the way solar flares have occurred throughout Earth's history). I personally lost all of my photos from the early 2000s which were stored only on my computers and not printed. But I still have all my photos from earlier times taken with analog cameras in photo albums... even photos of my great-grandparents are still around in the albums.
Similarly, if your only mode of storage is physical, it's at risk due to oxidation and whatnot. This is why you should always keep at least two copies if possible, one physical and one digital.
@@zecaptainpegleg8820 if you're gonna preserve data in physical format, it's most likely not going to be a website or a game you're trying to preserve. However, if you do want to preserve those, there's literally a million cloud services on the Internet, and if that doesn't suit you, the USBs are always right there. And if even that doesn't suit you, then just take a photo with a DSLR or something.
the internet archive or an archival resource is essientially for both historical and cultural purposes which is why companies endangering the internet archive is disconcerting.
Well early 2000s makes sense since 2011 is pretty early still 88 more years to go give or take. Now idk how that 1 year to 2012 took up so much of the century but I’m not a timeologist
even calls the time around the release of Slender the 8 Pages as "early internet" lol I was like how young is this kid?! ; for context it was released year 2012
Idk if Jorge’s original video is nostalgic yet since it’s not been ten years yet but only…9…and I was a freshman in college while a ton of you were…children…. God
I wish I could figure out how much of my feeling towards old Minecraft is just nostalgia and how much of it was actually different. I sometimes look at opd Minecraft and almost feel like it was a completely different game. I think a large part of that is because of it starting as an indie game as well. Regardless, I miss the feeling the old game used to give me.
Bro literally took like 10 minutes to gush about old Minecraft before going back for the topic of the video, i literally almost thought I was watching something else
I remember we had a WebTV and in like 1997 or 1998 we went to Conan O'Brien's website and there was a game called "if they had mated" and you picked 2 celebrity's and they're photos would be mixed together grotesquely looking and that's what they would look like if they had mated 😂
@lelsewherelelsewhere9435 WebTV was so awesome, it was the TV! So the screen was HUGE! And the chat rooms, "Talk City" I think It was called, they were so much fun, I don't know why a normal computer chat room was and still is just different. I don't know why exactly, but the old WebTV chat rooms were just so much fun, with that neon green lighting of the font, and the neon orange"whisper" font of the private person to person messages, those chat rooms were so much fun! Most people will never understand why the 1997 WebTV version of the internet chat rooms especially is somehow better, but it really was exciting! I was like 12 or 13 back then, so I suppose life was more mysterious back then, This girl I met in the chat room I asked A/S/L? Meaning age sex location, and she's from Persia she said! I was like wow where is that? And she's like Iran, ect. But this mysterious encounter with this mystery person, one's mind is imagining some exotic person! And this is what made it magical, I think, because nowadays I can just click on the photo of the username, and there they are- I know EVERYTHING about them, what they ate last night, (yawn) I mean even to have one's picture online, remember how RARE that was! It was unthinkable to let the world know EVERYTHING about you. But as far as the great enlightening conversations we had back in the ancient internet, the typical chat log looked something like this at any given time.... GubmentCheese1985: Metallica Rules FoxyGurl1983: Hanson Sucks (Ect....) Lol that's what we'd say all day long lol 😆
This is like Batman and Superman teaming up, this is like Messi and Ronaldo playing for the same team, this is like Vegeta and Goku. We will be watching!
When you mentioned liminal spaces, I was brought back to yesterday evening when I had decided to search for the 80's Canadian program "Today's Special" which aired on Nickelodeon during that decade. I had watched only the intro of the program on RU-vid quite a few years ago so I didn't have a good idea of how the actual episodes played out anymore after so long. I was remembering the whole production through rose colored glasses; imagining that it was some kind of 1980's Akashic Record midnight coffee shop on the outskirts of a city in Blade Runner or some half baked wild goose chase into office waiting rooms that are on the other side of an interdimensional portal. So I watched a full episode. And while I will always love this show and even now I am beginning to see it once again from the cusp of the abyss that I wish for it to be, it is for the most part in reality a succession of hyper active learning exercises for small children peppered with slapstick humor: not at all what I had stored in my memory. However...these human and puppet characters inhabiting an otherwise deserted department store over night, along with Jeff's cursed mannequin paralysis, (is he supposed to be a golem?) and the giant mice who speak only in rhymes... it is a bit horrifying and does indeed have the air of a liminal space purgatory to it.
Lost media is so fascinsting. The promisse of an adventure online is both alluring and strange. If anyone wants to, ya'll should try to find rabbit holes yourself. There are plenty and even if they ain't something major. Stumbling across something seemingly "forbidden" and "hidden" is electrifying.
Not all MSI files use online resources, it just happpens that the installation script called by the MSI pulled down the files in this instance. MSI is just a installer format that uses the windows installer libraries instead of shipping it's own GUI purely for installing the software.
It's insane when the slender chapter started, I could tell what it was going to be immediately based on the footstep sounds and the crickets. Haven't played that game in close to a decade probably but it's still seared into my mind
I think about the minecraft far lands OFTEN. It was one of my first encounters with that type of nearly liminal horror and it captivated me. I never made it to them in early minecraft, but I was so fascinated by them just existing out there was so disturbing to me.
There's one episode or straight to video short movie I remember from my childhood but was never able to find. I believe it was a Christian kid's show that never got off the ground, it was the era a few years after VeggieTales had started and EVERYONE wanted to be Big Idea, so there were a lot of these cheap copycats like Gnoo Zoo, Angel Wings, and God Rocks that were released but weren't successful enough to continue, so I think that's what this is. It was 3D animated with simple, almost plush toy lookin animal character designs [I think they also had those button dot eyes as well]. The scene I remember the most is the climax and ending, where a few main characters are in a minecart that's flying through a mine super fast, and there's at least one switch at one point that they have to hit to stay on the right path, clearly an Indiana Jones homage. The chase[?] ends with the minecart crashing into a room where one of the characters is having a surprise party thrown for him, and everything ends happily. I have done countless searches for this, even having found the aforementioned Gnoo Zoo in the process, but I have no idea what this was.
That first physics game looks a lot like a game I played as a child around the year 2000... But it was on Windows, not sure if it is the same thing... I'm pretty sure I had it on a CD, and I might still have it...
Does anyone here remember a game that was made for windows or Microsoft edge way back in the 2010s, made by Microsoft, you played as a little ink blob and it was a 2d puzzle game in your browser to show off the new capabilities of their software
there was such an uplifting, positive and hopeful feeling the old web used to have, anything was possibly and everything was reachable, nowadays the format and everything is so corporatized, so bland, so boring and safe. Its depressing really, the colors are all muted pale eggshells and blacks/grays, its enough to make a person sick.
There's I don't know if it's lost media or if it even counts it's more like a creepypasta it's called the balloon Man he like gives kids balloons for wishes that eventually turn bad and I remember it kind of from when I read it I don't know if it even still exists but if you guys can find it that would be I would have seen it sometime between 2010 and 2014 when I was in high school
i remember being really annoyed back in the day when they decided on the name "Enderman" instead of calling them "Farlanders". Which I guess now jokes on me, since the End is a location in the game and the Far lands aren't.
Dude…. I remember that stupid Gorillas song on every radio on every stinking contrition site. I was working as a gutter installer when it was popular so I’d move from site a lot
Lost media ha we cant have lost media at all in the ark we need to study 1000 years later what everyones like and if anyone tries to wipe out or manipulate what happened we have methods of dealing with them -willy 0
I used to like to blame it on George until he switched from creepy hunter stuff to only lost media, which is boring. Always. Stop it George. I'm blaming you.
what was the point of the first like, five minutes of the minecraft segment. beta, infdev structures, and the farlands are not lost media lmao also its funny that old minecraft is being presented as 'scary' in this video
And if several massive corporations have their way, you won’t have an Internet archive anymore to view. the whole thing makes me mental thinking that private corporations are trying to shut down basically what would be considered everyone’s virtual library. The Internet archive is an extremely important tool for all of us.
Won't be the first nor the last backup db to dissapear, mangatraders was the best example, when you prefer copyright aka capitalism over humanity this is the result 💁🏽
@@Ebanii don't agree, I just think that certain politicians don't want dirt dug up on them from the past, so they want to erase and rewrite history first by getting rid of internet archive
I don’t disagree. But what happened is poor leadership at the Internet Archive playing a game they had no chance of winning. Even people at IA or funding it didn’t agree with what they did during Covid. It was fucking moronic to pick that fight and jeopardize the site as a whole.
fun fact! there is still a huge push in the gorillaz community to revive the plastic beach website. i know that in the official gorillaz discord server, the mods had gotten word to the band's management about taking steps to bring the website back. as of now, that has been sidelined but hope is not lost! it is possible we'll see a revival of plastic beach sometime in the future :)
Gorillaz has a bunch of lost/unreleased media they actually planned and cancelled movies and tv shows as recent as 2020. A big reason why fans are especially interested in plastic beach media is because they did plan to release stuff but because they ran out of money a lot of things had to be cut. For example they originally planned to make a music video for every song in order to tell the story (every album has a storyline) but because they couldn’t they instead had Murdoc host a radio show where fans would get updates. The album itself wasn’t as successful as the previous and because of internal issues between the creators Gorillaz went on hiatus. I think that played a major role as to why plastic beach never got sea sides
@@346Yomanit's not like they are funding their own band. Everything bands do is controlled by a record company. They have the right to everything you make. If they don't like the idea of releasing something, and they think it won't make enough money (yes, even just releasing without physical copies is expensive) then they simply won't do it and your music will be in limbo forever or until you buy them out. It doesn't work that way and it definitely isn't as simple as you make it out to be.
@@theokkali467 Ahh I see, so it wasn't Christopher or Phillip Booth. Chris made a post on his FB but who knows if he remembers the vocalist. That is actually almost 40 years ago
It's pretty crazy but I played one of the earliest versions of roblox, I can't remember the exact one but it must have been between 2005-2008. I absolutely don't have the files anymore though and I only ever played it once when looking for an online lego game.
I think I might have played some of the early versions of Roblox and Minecraft shown in this video. Some of the 3D Groove games also looked familiar. If I can get the hard drive of the old computer to work, it's possible I could help with the search for some of these games.
i love your videos so much, this might sound weird but i have trouble sleeping most nights, and these videos genuinely help to have in the background!’ the content is also always so well made i love the editing:3
I really love the editing and narration in this one, particularly in the Minecraft segment. Usually I'm not spooked by Minecraft horror stories, but the way you presented it is so eerie that it actually got me on the edge of my seat.
@Markiegee55 i think i have seen it, if not i will give it a go tomoro as its after 10 in scotland and i cant keep my eyes open lol thanks for the heads up
@@goodnoodle5756 don’t know why it deleted my comment before, I didn’t say anything wrong or rude. It was 5 mins, and I’ve never had TikTok. It was just long asl.
Incredibly based of you to play "corner folk" at the start of the Roblox segment. Never expected to find AJCW's werk or even the _Monument Mythos_ soundtrack anywhere else but here we are.
Yo, interesting topic. Wouldn't you mind if i recommend? Can you please make more parts of "A journey through dying worlds" I really love that topic 🖤 Dying worlds in games and rabbit holes is also cool topics!
90% of the things from your childhood will be forgotten to time. It’s unfortunate but inevitable. Only the tip of the iceberg of what was most popular will be remembered. And even then, a lot of it becomes distorted with personal bias and things misremembered… Like as much as 90s nostalgia is en vogue right now, people tend to forget the frosted hair, Jnco jeans, awful horror movies, and the terrible nu-metal takeover…
