What is up with Player30? | The Player30 ARG 

Fun fact: there is a thing in russian minecraft community about creating "corrupted" or "mystical" versions of minecraft, so some versions on his channel can be real existing fan versions (atleast the one with long bedrock tunnel is real), there is a whole russian wiki with different horror versions

Maybe the Player30 were just the friends we made along the way

this whole thing feels more like a surreal art project than an arg, its like a fever dream, with just random stuff appearing

1:37- in russian "кто ты дядя?" means something like "who are you stranger?", cus дядя=stranger in some context

11:35 Google translate gets confused sometimes : original question translates : "In which version of Java Minecraft was the jukebox added?" . In Russian word for jukebox is literally translates like "record player" or lust "player" (like mp3player, video player etc.) so i see why translator get confused here

2:16 the world gen screen actually does accurately describe several passes the world generator does. creating terrain, mountains/hills, holes in it, flowers and trees, etc.

this arg may either just be incoherent as hell or complicated as hell. it doesnt seem to be finished though, so i wont say which. it was still really weird though, might have something to do with it being made by a slavic person (who i've found can come up with some really weird stuff without trying too hard). i hope you'll make a followup on it once it gets completed or at any point further down the line. i just hope it really does have a proper, deep underlying story instead of it being made solely to be creepy/weird. i do like how you share all sorts of theories with us, since i myself come up with a lot of theories about stuff like this but have nobody to share them with.

One thing I really appreciate is how kind you are about this ARG. I see so many other youtubers going off about how something is "too confusing" or "poorly made" and then ragging and ragging on (usually novice) creators. The fact that you treated this like any other piece of art (people tend to forget that ARGs take effort to make haha) was really wonderful, and I appreciate how you accepted the ARG just as it is!

Thanks for analyzing my argument! :D

The "when did you add the player" part is talking about in which version of the game the jukebox was added, jukebox being player/disc player

i am very very glad you actually just say what happens in the videos as opposed to just playing them

When I see a Minecraft ARG analysis video, I click. And yours, you have potential. It's hard to explain, but you have that youtuber way of speaking that makes it interesting to listen to

6:48 it is actually two arabic letters (thaa(ث) and kaf(ك) in sequential order) pronounced thuk and it means nothing (it translates to thc)

I have to say I really appreciate someone narrating over grating static or other random noise, I always find it so jarring when someone is analysing an ARG and decide to just stop talking and force you to listen to white noise for two minutes with a screamer at the end

lmao my GMod map appeared in a Minecraft ARG! It's a happy day.

I hope you get to make more videos like these, ik its hard to find any good ARGs

I love watching Minecraft ARGs too!

Your narration is a good mix of goofy and soothing and serious. Nice video!

Enjoyed watching, great video. I liked how you explained and gave your own thoughts about it, they were interesting to hear!

Sonic.exe aah series

I'm gonna say smth a little out there, and a bit personal, I'm having a really hard time, a lot of things are going to crap in my life and I'm just trying to move past it, this video, and the calming music especially, made me feel okay, after feeling like absolute crap for awhile now, so thank you.

This is a very interesting ARG that you found. I really enjoyed the video and I like the personal opinions throughout the video. 🥶

im new to this channel but i love it cause of the random funny comments he makes

18:16 it could be a wavy distorted morse code!

0:43 music/song Silent Hill 2 - OST - The Day Of Night

I like your attitude! Imma just leave a sub and continue watching 😊

"Here's the first time it was played." *Wuthering Waves ad*

y'did a good job making this actually good, the only real complaint i have is that the video is a lil quiet, so i had to use a volume booster, but otherwise everything else is good

A really good Minecraft ARG that I’ve seen SOME coverage on (the videos are old and outdated as the ARG is ongoing) is Andrewgaming67. If you want to do another ARG deep dive, this one is really enjoyable. :)

I too enjoy watching people cover ARGs Mostly because some of them have disturbing content and I don’t like watching it Thank you for your service

Personally I think it’s important for channels that aren’t entirely ARGs to separate their normal vids from em, so people don’t look for correlations where there aren’t any

for such a small channel, this is a great video. this is the first video to actually compel me to look the channel up myself. keep it up ❤

yoooo cool vid n nice editing, keep up the great work dude

I am glad you went "screw it", because I would have otherwise never found out about this ARG in the first place.

Didn't mention that in the first video his character is doing 2 block jumps, which may be minor but it's not possible in normal minecraft without the beacon effect.

the missing texture blocks are what happens when someone deletes the textures of minecraft, i saw it on a youtube video before, where someone deleted things from minecraft bit by bit to see just how little minecraft needed to still be playable

1:17 this translation reads You used to play a strange version of Minecraft!

Keep up the good work! :)

nice one! would love to see more like this in the future. assuming you wanna make more of course lol.

i like how i just found one of player30's videos and decided it was an arg

0:21 Another channel with strange versions of minecraft 1:40 this might also be a child saying this to a man, but that's not important 6:50 it looks arabian to me 11:26 in which version of java minecraft was the jukebox added? alpha 1.0.14 1.0 1.7.10 Added the jukebox and the first music disks: "13" and "cat" 11:56 no, it's not 20:23 cassette 010 (i think) 30:05 more specifically, a noun version of the word 31:18 Greeting 31:21 something about BetaCraft flashes briefly after *you* say "minecraft"

6:51 That's symbol ثك , dunno what it means, but it is that symbol

love how there's a batch file with the name "th3aa k" and it was from 2012

Idk what to think about this arg.. it seems pretty low quality.. especially the obvious cuts in some parts, for example, when the disc disappears and fire appears, theres a clear cut there. Or how the "Error//" in the menu is clearly drawn on something like paint. And the over use of "die" and the death threats coming from the game. Idk.

This reminds me of weird dreams I had when I was a kid,I was playing minecraft on my XBOX 360 and suddenly find a tower structure,before I go in I get jumped by a player with a iron sword, it's skin was a woman and I woke up before I saw what was inside. I had that dream before there was multiplayer in minecraft (Not true im dumb).

this guy turns horror into chill late night moonlight vibe stream, as you hear the words "these will be the last hours of your life" and pop open a soda that has grown warm on your desk

No creepy ominous black figure?!?! Aw man!!!!!!!!

My guy that sharp ringing noise is called tinnitus.

6:25 I find it cool that the view count is a minecraft version (1.7.10)

The shampoo bottle part was really funny.

8:38 For some reason I thought it would be cool to speed the sounds up and It didn’t give really good results. I am unsure what the first one is, but I do think the second one might be a distorted / Bitcrushed and sped up version of Cave2.ogg (the one that sounds like choir) Because they sounded kind of similar when I played them together. (Or at least having a similar melody) (This information is useless but I wanted to do it anyways 💔)

At 2:25 right before it changes from carving to growing, 'filling with tears' appears for a split second on the screen

I will watch your carrier with great interest.

I think we all noticed the continuous pattern of smiles. Such as the smiling sun, the text smiles on the signs and single player menu, the smiling figures, the smiley face, it’s a pattern. It’s most likely what this entire thing is based around. I believe the figures could be called something like “ Smiles “ or, possibly, Fantoms. As for the different players, we know there’s multiple with the prefix “ Player “ and we see mostly Player30s perspective. Maybe, just maybe, the Players used to be a group or whatever that shared names or sorts. And the ‘Smiles’ could be lost ‘Players’ And, in the book, it says ‘Player10’ died. So they must’ve become a Smiles. However, the repeated signals of someone targeting Player30, Possibly to make them a Smiles. It also says Player157 is aggressive, which could mean they are ‘transforming’ into a Smiles. Also, what if Sandcool is possibly Player20, who had upgrade their name after the incident of Player10, and the aggressiveness of Player157, and the targeting on Player30, so they tried to get away as they noticed a pattern of those with the name ‘Player’ getting attacked. What if the black figure was Player157, yet they hadn’t filled transformed with the smile, considering in the video of the Smiles we see them having a black skin with a white face. What do y’all think? It’s just my little theory’s on the ARG, since the lore is confusing and very interesting to look into.

there is also player/creature during 16:27 segment in the cave near the players fist.

at this point I think you got enough trope awareness and brain power to make your own actually good Minecraft spooky ARG THING if you make one, I offer you my help

this was fun to watch

The server name at 6:51 is not one character, it's two letters. It's written in the Arabic script. The sounds of the letters are "th" (as in "thin") and "k", AFAIK there's no Arabic word like that and I doubt that there's a word like that in other languages that are written in the Arabic script. It's probably just meant to be gibberish. "thk" doesn't mean anything.

remindfs me of this game that I used to play

yoooo banger video brah :3

C418 - DIE was 2spooky4me and I had to close the window 😔

Oh my god I have an idea. What if the bedrock tunnel wasn’t just some shit happening, but us watching the death of player ten? We only know a handful of people, and of them, only player 10 is dead. “These will be your last hours alive” (or something I forgor) is crazy bc we know this man died. Maybe player 157 killed him? Maybe that’s what we’re watching, the last moments of pain being enjoyed by some rouge psychopath (157)?

This is the first I’ve heard of an ARG I don’t know what it stands for and what a typical ARG video is like but they seem very ominous. none the less nice video

Word that got translated as cartridge might also mean cassette, since it sounds the same when spoken. Could be another mistake of google translation.

Please make more of these args 🙏🥺

Cool video but audio balance is a bit distracting. Audio is very quite, maybe you could boost it a little?

Russians and Red go together like bread an butter

This my first times wacthing arg idk what it even us

Lol the unused chair texture 28:04

I’ve seen this one I found that channel this morning

Hey! I enjoyed your video, and i just wanted to point out some translation problems. On 1:37 its not "Who are you, uncle", its just "Dude who are you" or 'Who are you man". Its just a meme, "Uncle" in russian can also mean "Man" from a perspective if he is older than you and you dont know him. Sorry it was reeally hard to explain 11:28 No, it just says "In which version was the jukebox added?". google translated it to "Player" because you "play" music. The video is very nice tho!

Underrated 💯🔥

Windows movie maker ahhh background

"the next video is called RUN. This is also the video to introduce me to this channel" same wtf

Poll about "player" isnt correctly translated, it actually says "in what version jukebox was added"

My theory is that Player157 died in a house fire or something. Because of the imagery of 14:35 . Maybe the face paintings is supposed to represent their skin burning off or something. And how 157 looks like he's buried underground in 29:28 . He's dead

if i was 8 years old and i wanted to make an arg this is exactly what it would look like

cool

like mush I hope you actually do a analysis about andrewgaming67 from the first upload up to the last.

maybe player30 were the friends who were online 4 years ago😢

a random russian guy named minexraft dmed me randomly on discord a while back, we did an arg but war stopped him from continuing

If you're wondering what it said at 2:19, it says 'filling with tears.'

aw yeah I subscribed now :D

the weird symbols are fucked up cyrillic (slavic) alphabet, so far as I can tell it dosen't mean anything, might be an onomat?

11:53 it's a disk player or jukebox, so it's saying: "In which java version of Minecraft was added jukebox?"

im a big fan of this YT videos about ARGs and such and I want to say that you knocked it out of the park. You never overexagerate your voice, great editing, great storytelling and explinations. Your channel is a real gem!

6:20 that is a question mark

Ngl the iron door thing reminds me of alphaver/lilypad

11:36. The word проигрыватель actually means jukebox.

absolutely earned a sub.

minecraft fandom wiki has been replaced by minecraft dot wiki, actually

Minecraft ARG makers try not make something not scary, generic or straight up horrible challenge.

i hate watching args i love watching people explain args

As a creator sometimes it’s easy to get discouraged when you see someone already cover a subject but you know if there’s 5 videos on something already why not make a 6th? And who knows, maybe yours will have something the others missed or just doing it for yourself is equally as fulfilling :)) glad you made this video! I had no clue about any of this and was fun to learn this along side you :D great video dude!

you should translate using DeepL btw, it's more accurate

I see the Minecraft old player from non youtube server call player17 was a Russia hacker instead the ocean that found basement of ongoing update mojang dev team are never fix the old version...

Hey mate, turn the sound up a bit :)

11:40 means what version was the jukebox added in

4:48 Was this repeat a mistake or a stylistic choice with the cut? Actually there are many more similar occurences throught the video and sorry for pointing it out,but when talking about the video I'm alone you broke your own naming conventions within twenty seconds of establishing them.

The first translated words. (The start off the video) are correct.
