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.

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.

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.

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.

​@@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

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

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.

Classic virtual carbon narration

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

This gigachad uses sleep/meditation music for his background audio :L perfect choice this hits good with earbuds

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 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.

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.

You deserve so much more attention man, you're on par with nexpo quality wise

12:58 oh god I really can’t hear the words grimace and shake in the same sentence normally anymore

What a great video!! Usually for lost media videos they’re presented as scary/ominous, but you made them really relaxing and pleasant, really cool!!

"it's where I pirate". Yeah, that's the problem. It's not a library if you're just stealing.

I vividly remember the plastic beach dropping and the videos that coincides with the albums, so good

I immediately recognized the retrovex song. Great video!

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 😂

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.

You have an absolutely pleasant voice and generally exude a special melancholic atmosphere in your videos (together with the sound). I love it. Let someone tell you this who has listened to thousands of podcasts and video essays and is very, very picky.

Man, I didn't get broadband until 2005, 2006. Such simpler times.

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.

Little big planet is something really nostalgic for me. It got shut down recently, effectively erasing more than a decade of user generated content.

This was a fascinating video as always! Though I will admit, this part toward the beginning made me wince: 0:22 “The majority of communication was still done through chatrooms!” *shows an IM program, not a chatroom, and makes no mention of forums* Instant Messengers were not chatrooms. You could create group chats, but you had to be invited to those. Chatrooms were (and are) on things like IRC servers, and anyone can join them. Also, TONS of communication was done over forums! They still exist today, but are sadly less used due to the rise of social media. Which is a shame-there’d be a lot less internet drama if we stuck to forums, IMO.

This was amazing thank you. I feel really inspired now. One day I hope to be working with you on a video ❤

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

Among these pieces of lost media I've encountered are various mods for EA NHL games of years gone by, and several pictures of players in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League from the late 2000s.

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.

This whole video called me old but the Minecraft and Slender sections made me actually FEEL old. 💀

So Marble Hornets came out 3 years before Slender the 8 Pages. Pretty sure that had waaaay more of an impact on Slender Man's fame than that terrible game.

The name sea-sides is pretty good, especially considering it looks like with the naming scheme Gorillaz was using, it wouldve just been named P-Sides

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.

what, no geocities? im disappointed.

Pay per view has soooooooo much Lost media. From sporting events to fight shows. Adult too.

Garfieldgames - closed over decade ago, hosted various puzzle/card/crossword games. Lost media AFAIK, not on Flashpoint, seen a few dcr files, but they didn't seem to work... I have personally recreated a few of them (by rules, not by appearance) in my pet C# project.

Have you played or looked into the game Interior Worlds? I feel like it's right up your alley and you'd make a great essay about it or including it....has an essence of liminality and dying worlds aspect

My old account from 08 is still up but the earliest version I could possibly have has already been found.

When I think of the early internet, I think of the internet from the mid to late 90s, or basically the time before KZread.

How did my phone vibrate after you got mail? I even rewinded to make sure

Please make videos about the dark side of Club Penguin and the Craigslist Killer.

I feel like a new type of media is going to emerge soon called buried media, where we know it exists but just can't find it anymore lol

Yes!

surprised no ao lost media exists. That Orange was everywhere

i think its a good thing ad based games were lost in time

It's odd that it wasn't mentioned that the Slender 8 Pages game was based on the Analogue Horror Marble Hornets, even straight up copied the pages from that ARG over into the game.
