I loved those old annotations. If they were clickable, 'EPISODE SELECT' would go to the individual episode playlist, while 'MYSTERY BONUS' could go to, say, a Part 3 of the DVD rip focussing just on the bonus features.
RU-vid could have been so much cooler if they really leaned into those sorts of interactive video elements because, even with just annotations back in the day, I can remember actual games being made out of them with unlisted “choose your path” videos and quizzes and stuff
Thanks! I hadn't thought much about it until putting this together, but it'd be neat to imagine if 'shows' on youtube were given this kind of home media release treatment like it was 2005 or something.
The intro genuinely made me nostalgic, those dvds were my entire childhood and I miss it so much! Back when I didn't have a phone and friends knocked on your door to ask to play out instead of texting you. Back when roadmen weren't a frequent sight and chocolate wasn't overpriced!
Some say, that the mythical Toast did something so awful, so horrible, so _unspeakably evil,_ that he was expelled from the Technical Difficulties and they would all rather pretend it never happened.
I think its funny how Chris initially tries to side with Matt saying 'nothing wrong with mustard on toast', before stepping away from the storm Gary and Tom are raging...
I love this. It reminds me of being a tiny nugget on the family computer watching the old "Thomas in Jeopardy" fake DVD menu video and thinking "man where can I get one of these?" Good times!
Goodness, I remember that! That must have been around the turning point of the Thomas fandom from goofy parody videos like Missoliverandblossom and Trainboy7 to the more professionally done modelling and filmmaking that would bring Tardisrescue and NWRsteam among others! Looking back its incredible seeing how far youtube fandoms have come!
Do you have permission from the mates? I love the content, but you should just be aware, that if you dont, everything could be taken down at any moment.
Gary saw one of them a while ago, but besides that, no. I am aware of that risk- I was on the subreddit before that got taken down (just for fanart and discussion of the show, i never saw any of the weird stalker stuff Tom said was going on)!
