Hello there

oh, the guy who said fanboy and chum chum was an underrated classic WAIT THATS ILLEGAL

only the highest quality rips.

i'd rate this video as 7/Grand

Hello, Nicholas tendo!

Or space jammin

siivagunner's channel is like having a machine gun instead of revolver and instead of bullets it just has thousand dollar papers

NERF THIS

gadget room

aren't you a part of the big boy ripping team

My brother worked on it back then

I remember you commenting on every DDLC rip, it was pretty cool seeing someone as excited about DDLC rips as I am lol

Same. SiIva was an obsession of mine around 2017-2019 and I'll be forever grateful for the hours of fun and quality

i still tend to find you on a lot of rips from back then

SiIva definitely seems like an excellent opportunity to dip your toe into music production. Just from observing Clod, I saw that being on the team and contributing rips helped him develop his skills as a musician and composer, and I could definitely see people using it as a springboard to entering the field in other ways. Being in a community of musicians would also give you a lot of connections and opportunity to network, which I could see being helpful as well.

And all the sonic CD rips with beta mix in their name are genesis remixes

Rips with My Little Pony gags are also often denoted as “PAL” mixes. PAL > Pal > Friend > *Friendship* is Magic.

@@Padgriffin PAL (as in Europe) can also be used to indicate that a melody has been changed to a Beatles song - typically for games never released in Europe, like Mother 3.

and then there's circus

I think it would have been a disservice to only dwell on what happened in the earlier years of the channel when there was so much to cover and appreciate in later years. Some of the best rips, memes, and events only came about later, so it doesn't make sense to ignore them even though the memes might not be as well known. Thanks for watching, I'm happy you enjoyed it :]

I watched a fair amount of your stuff while researching, happy I didn't botch it

pringles man

Happy you enjoyed it! I enjoyed learning about the channel when putting this together, I don't know if there are any other channels even remotely similar. Thanks for helping make it all happen!

Thanks again!

@@OutOfCharacters syeah no problem! glad i could be of help

You should catch up on the lore

Wow, thanks so much! That's very high praise. If you're looking for other good essayists, you should check out 1C2, I'm trying to get as good as him lol

Oh, I had no idea! You're right. Thanks SiIva, it's an honor!

Yeah, that's an idea. I do want to do at least one more video on SiIva and that isn't a bad idea, though I would have to do more research since I don't have a deep knowledge of it currently. Thanks for watching!

siiva lore is what is best described as memes upon memes upon development hell upon kirby references

A good channel for learning some of the SiIva lore is 123zc1

The king for a day 2 tournament was crazy, definitely a masterwork of the channel. So much planning, time and effort must have went into making it all happen, I can't even imagine how it all got done.

​@@OutOfCharacters For sure! Fun fact, for Teknopathic (a DJ Prof K rip), they actually booked Bunker Studio in NYC (Googled it, rates start at $300/5 hours) and had 7 people work on it. The albums combined are over 5 gigabytes compressed. And the takeover itself was nuts too. The livestream they made was almost 11 hours and had someone DJing the stream in the voice of DJ Professor K (25 minutes judging by the reel). They even had fake commercials (27 minutes) and bumpers (14.5 minutes) all referencing events that had happened on the channel. Not to mention the roughly 240 rips, which were almost all great. It was such a cool experience, and I didn't even vote for K. That's such a cool thing about the channel to me - no matter who won, it would've been something to remember. Even the goofy "one-off" takeovers are something to remember, like the recent Russian takeover or the Inspector Gadget + Nostalgia Critic takeover. The ideas often sound incredibly bizarre, but they're great whether they're great music or really goofy. Even when they're not going all out, they go all out. When they go all out, they would surpass commercial projects - but there aren't even any comparable ones. The community are really the only group of people who recognize the effort behind this - and they/we LOVE them for that. Someone not on the team is making "KFAD Encore" and hiring people - some from the team - to make rips for that. They're spending around $10K, I believe. That's a strong indicator of how much people like the channel. It's almost impossible to describe the channel to (say) a parent or grandparent, let alone the takeovers and tournaments. But despite that, and despite the fact that everyone is anonymous and most stay anonymous, and despite not making money or "street cred", and despite the risks associated with the project as a whole (like when they were almost shut down) - the team still does that. It's almost a magical idea to me. It started as a shitpost channel doing mashups, and it became this insane project that practically defines the term "high quality". The channel is a bizarre concept that evolved into dedicated creators working for no personal benefit, and a dedicated community for them. (Sorry for the long comment, I didn't mean to go on that long.)

Thanks for checking it out!

Happy you got something out of it, thanks for watching!

Happy that you enjoyed!

I agree

I still do.

I still do...

Cant update the video unfortunately, but this one's pretty good twitter.com/emmnyaa/status/1489789159543906305?t=lvXD7CdAsVogUB5Dc8TpCw&s=19

Same.

yeah, probably in the rip i was using for one of the segments ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yjwBpyDbLC4.html

Oh geez, i think i missed this comment initially. Yeah, i do like them lol, i used to make joke kazoo covers myself so it was super cool to see someone doing it in the "big leagues", especially since you made so many! Thanks again for all of them.

Thanks >:]

I had to spend about a half an hour editing this video because in the original cut, the bust didnt have an eyepatch and I needed to replace it all with the actual version. I never realized there was an eyepatch on it, in the RU-vid avatar icon it was tough to see the difference.

Thank you!

Also just realized which song has been deleted from my playlist along with the deletion of the GilvaSunner channel. Goodbye, Middle Boss Battle from Majora's Mask, you will be sorely missed AF.
