People idly waiting in futility at the end of time, simply sitting, watching as the world around them fades away, simply seeing how long they'll last, to show their love for what they live for, knowing they'll never experience it again.

Tetris has gone through a lot of changes since it was released. The piece randomizer used to be fully random, but it was updated over time to be more fair by giving you permutations of the 7 pieces (called 7-bag), which means you're never more than 12 pieces away from the piece you need. They changed the rotation system to be more forgiving, they made you able to slide and rotate pieces to delay them getting locked in, and they added the ability to hold a piece for later. These changes made Tetris more accessible, but there's still a community of people who prefer the less forgiving classic Tetris format. The NES Tetris community is very active and dedicated, and the Tetris Company took note and added a classic mode to Tetris Effect that mimics NES tetris's piece movement and randomizer. Honestly pretty cool (and rare) to see a company pay attention like that. It's an example of what could've happened with Melee, if HAL/Nintendo gave it official support.

29,000 hours of old school rune scape is crazy, true. But it's still a game you can play right now. You can't play halo online on the original Xbox anymore, and they knew that.

Incredible video! It brings a little tear to my eye seeing our humble community getting recognized for just wanting to keep the games alive a little bit longer. To clarify the timeline on Smash Bros. 3DS, as the fifth-longest holdout: Chario was the last known survivor for a while, although we had also known about the other player you mentioned because of the World Status map that the game had that showed where every active connection was on the servers. We were unable to ever find or identify this player, so we call him the Mystery Smasher of Hudson Bay. The last known games took place between myself and Chario, which he streamed on his Twitch channel on April 9, the evening before my connection gave out in the middle of the night. While he and a couple others were known to be online between then and his final disconnection on April 16, those were the last known games, only a few days after the shutdown.

As much of a tease to the imagination as it is to see an online game die and watch the last holdouts phoning in as their positions are overrun by time and technology, I think what's even sadder is when an online game dies, but its servers live on-- and so nobody is around to play it. I was introduced to a game called Starsiege: Tribes, an old online multiplayer FPS game. Except for its discord community orchestrating brief matches every so often, it never has any players online. So, when you download the game and you're not lucky enough to have rounded up enough friends to play it, there is nothing left for you to do but wander around in enormous open maps, alone, no objective, no meaning. You're not in any danger. You're alone. You're the only one who remembers.

@the_hanged_clown Месяц назад

let's think about this a bit. some of these servers would have to continue running for these people to still be connected, but they would have been doing so at an operational loss. however, ultimately being in possession of these servers, one finds it far more likely that the server's power cable may simply be unplugged. meaning that these people are not likely to actually be still connected to these servers, but rather are stuck in some sort of "cached" state, or truly just directly connected with other players. no way in hell are those servers still on months later.

Funnily enough this is the second time that Mario Kart players held out long after the servers shut down. MkWii players back in 2014 stayed online for a little over a month after the online servers were discontinued. We even have footage of that last night uploaded here on youtube.

I currently have 12k hours in FInal Fantasy 14 and have such good memories of this game it makes me sad knowing one day in the future the servers will be discontinued and everything will be lost forever

I clicked on this because I have some games I've been playing for over 20 years now (Gotcha Force!), so I resonate with the sentiment. Heck, I find myself still playing games I've long since 100%ed (either in terms of achievements or ingame metrics). Some games are just special like that. I cherish each one - and in part, I play new games in the hopes of finding more like them (which for the record, I do. Some of my favorites are from just a few years ago). I wasn't prepared to hear what's essentially tales of the ends of several worlds. Caught me offguard, but I enjoyed it. I remember something similar for when Monster Hunter Tri's online shut down.

Fallout 76 is actually quite fun now, and as someone who started giving it another shot about a month before the Amazon show came out, it was extremely heartwarming to see the influx of all those newbies trying and enjoying the game. Yes, the release was rough, super rough, but they kept working on it. Fixing stuff, adding stuff, tweaking stuff, for over 5 years. And I dare even say now that Fallout 76 made the kind of comeback No Man's Sky did.

Every game that has a leaderboard, there are people who have ridiculous high scores, and I'm like damn, how much do you have to like this random game? But I guess there's something for someone in any game. Thanks for the video, it was so unique!

Damn, I'm not gonna lie, I've gotten a bit teary eyed near the end. We really can't let go of things that make us happy.

Would have been cool to hear about how slippi brought melee to a new generation and revolutionized competitive play. Great video, love the propeller rat!

My god the way this video is put together is so great, the callback at the end to the quotes with the national park music hit so unbelievably hard, great job

just commenting to let you know that your videos are amazing. your channel has to blow up even more soon, 20k subscribers is a hell of a lot so far though!

Attributing the quotes at the end was beautiful. Thank you for this fantastic preservation of culture.

I feel like the runescape 3/brawl holdouts deserved more recognition.

Loved the video. Even got me emotional at the end, teary eyed and everything. Videos like this help me remember that one of the best things in life is other people. Whether it be just admiring their passion or sharing something with them. Love from another small-ish RU-vidr!

Woox was actually still trying to play but they got ahold of his login and have been forcefully keeping him offline via login attempt timeout at that point for a long while. It's sad but it is what it is.
