The remark about a Chad move actually makes me wanna see a horror series where the MC realizes what's going on and just starts doing that. Steals things from structures built by the entities, refuses to go down mysterious tunnels because he is more interested in digging coal, etc.
if i had any kinda experience in this kinda stuff, i'd totally do that. just have the protagonist get decked out in full enchanted gear and just go fight the entity like a gigachad
Yeah I’d love to see an entity in one of these arg get progressively more pissed while the main character is doing the mute player equivalent if “excuse me, just wanna get that coal behind you, thanks”
Said ARG being captures from the entity's POV : Today my lair has been compromised, they took my enchanted books and some coal, also [Corrupted mess] is missing, all that's left is cobblestone pillars, empty bottles and 2 blocks high tunnels.
The alt version ARG was the most interesting so far, at the very least it has sense, in why it could happen, but like this for example, seems just dumb, so far watched the video until half point, and all I can think is why would it even exist. I would like to think why it is scary but there isn't any logical sense how I can. And most I watched if it wasn't for other people recapping them, I prob wouldn't even bother in continue watching after a while.
@@EddieNoongonna be completely honest, make it anyways even if it sucks. I think as long as you have fun it’s worth it. And you can always share with friends to watch them try and solve it or to have them give you feedback ^^ I know I’d love to see it even if it doesn’t turn out the best

i get the idea of making a minecraft arg video pixel crushed to hell for the immersion of screenholding stuff at the time but there is line where it gets genuinely too far and i can't even tell what anything in the inventory screens are
It amazing how we were able to watch in real time as these Minecraft ARG’s began to rot, just like analogue horror. (Edit): while some are good in their own right, others still seem just as unoriginal as the last one, just like most analogue horror has now.
I mean what can u really do with an analog horror in Minecraft? yes there's unique stuff u can do but if u really think about it what can u do that hasn't been done?
It's exactly like analog horror like there's uniqueness but if u try to do your own thing that uses a broadcast you're looped into the " just following the bandwagon" category
@@thelukinator123 Then do nothing? We don't have to make something every time. Stuff can end and should end otherwise we get this, nonsense ARGs. Also I think there is some more that could be done and could be interesting, this for example, far from it, the worst I watched tbh.
@@yellownomadglitch3309 see I wasn’t sure what to reply with, but this actually puts it perfectly. If you can’t think of anything good then why do it. Of course if it’s someone playing around to make something and let their creativity shine, that’s still okay, starting with something familiar is okay, but there are so many of these with the exact same or similar plot points.
@@mediocrecontent2449 Yeah, I like a Vampire Survivor clone because they made something unique out of it, actually shooting with guns, but if it wasn't for that, it could been lost in the sea of thousand of game like that.
i think the idea of "the filming of a minecraft unfiction goes wrong when it's hijacked by a mysterious outside force" could be a fun concept, like a digital era EverymanHYBRID, but it needs an actual interesting story which, let's face it, is hard to pull off in a minecraft setting. everyone has tried some version of "for some reason time travelers/dimension sliders/otherworldly beings are spying on minecraft players" and they just never land, but it's the most popular format....
I don’t think it’s a hot take that typical ARGs with a spooky black figure has overstayed its welcome. I love the ARGs that aren’t obvious. Like ones where you can’t really tell if they’re legitimate Minecraft bugs, or something malicious.
unironically this is really sweet it definitely feels like a younger persons foray into creative writing/unfiction and even though it may not be the best it should be applauded :D
Hey does anyone remember that one arg that takes place in an alternate universe with different beta footage and stuff. I wanna watch it again I wish I could remember what was up with that
@@eonswan thanks I remember finding it interesting but not interesting enough to focus on I gotta watch something on it bc the idea intrigues me. Minecraft alternate universe
This video is great! Thanks for speeding the clips up from time to time. Made it a lot more tolerable. I don't think I can even say "They at least put effort into it" as most, if not all of this, is very bottom of the barrel, low quality horse apples. The long gaps of nothing happening, the lazy story telling trying to be creepy with cryptic nonsense.. I'd say I feel bad if it's a kid, and I'm potentially tearing a child's work apart, but man. It feels like everyone wants to be the next "big ARG", and that kills the potential in quality that any what could be interesting ARG had going for it. The padded cell room had some pretty cringy editing, too. The character becoming self aware is a really poorly handed plot point in a lot of cases, this being no different. Also, the overdone "EEYIKES, SOMETHING SCARY IS HAPPENING, TIME TO FLAIL MY MOUSE LIKE I'M HOLDING A CAMERA!" because they saw it in a scary ARG using RL footage.. Ouch. This, all in all, has some really rough writing/storytelling, and I hope, if it is a kid, they get some proper criticism, take it and absorb it, and build upon the concepts they have. It could be interesting, but they're not doing anything with what they have to MAKE IT interesting. You could probably do something with a mod and incorporate it into an ARG and make a better experience than what the base experience of this "ARG." Ideally. Again, wholly ideally, this wouldn't be executed the way it was- I'm not a horror writer myself, so I'm not sure how I'd write it otherwise, but I'd possibly treat it like getting your hands on a mod/modpack from some back alley website using those dodgy adfly kinda links, and oooh, scary, there's some ghost in the machine shenanigans going on, since the writer seems to be very keen on sentience in the game that is not them.
What you decoded the numbers into looks like what u see if you open a png as a txt, try converting it to photo video or music formats like .ogg .png .jpeg and .wav maybe one of that many will work
Uhh guys I'm not sure if anyone noticed but some of things in this arg are very similar to the "johngamelover" minecraft arg, like the teleport concept (15:16), escpecially since the structure is very similar in both vids?? And the cobble stone long corridor with a lot of vinfing path ways and rooms?? I encurage you to watch the video made by RetroGamingNow on the "johngamelover" titeld "Strange Anomalies in Minecraft Alpha" (I know cliche) to see the similarities (also sorry for my bad english) ((also I'm not saying it's plagiarism or something I just find it interesting))
Geez man you went so fking hard on this guy, like yeah the story may not be perfect but it's just a lil minecraft arg made by someone who's clearly having fun doing what their doing. Like criticism is one thing but you were ragging on it basically the entire time, it dosnt have to be peak quality, what matters is that this guy is having fun and is expressing his creativity. There are alot of channels who try to bank on the ARG/analog horror genre for monetary gain but this is just a guy doing his own thing. Not trying to give you shit or anything, all i'm trying to say is that we should afford small amateur series like this some sort of leeway or understanding, lower our expectations and be happy to see what this guy decided to put out into the world.
Tbh fair he goes hard on it, did the creator of the ARG bother to check his video after making them? It doesn't seem so, story is a mess that you can't understand, or has any logical sense, it isn't scary or interesting at all. Errors everywhere or stuff that leads to literally nothing. While fine someone uploading stuff at random, it is only fair people expect at least some care into it not even counting quality. If it weren't for his jokes after some videos, I might had even dropped watching the recap due to how boring it is.
Tbf whilst I think they could have been more supportive of the guy to continue and work to improve outside of the ending, all of his criticisms regarding the ARG were completely valid.
You have to criticize and point out mistakes so the author can learn from it. And you cant just be nice becouse it could be a kid, the kid wont learn from it other wise
i discovered these minecraft 'args' a while back and ended up going on a bit of a deep dive finding as many of them as i could and let me just say - i thought analog horror got stale quick. i thought source horror got stale quick. minecraft horror got stale IMMEDIATELY. i genuinely don't understand how something couldve gotten run into the ground so unbelievably fast - like these videos are barely a year old and yet they're already just ripping eachother off rehashing the same plot points and cliches its absurd. i really dont understand how almost everyone doing these 'args' just can't seem to make anything interesting or standout, like they all just choose to either make their series about 'bug reports' or they make their series a metaphor for dead kids. one or the other, zero exceptions. even the ones i LIKED fell into those categories but were carried solely by being marginally better than everything else. like minecraft is a sandbox game with tools that make modding as accessible and easy as humanly possible and yet everyone just chooses to make their videos as boring and generic as they can manage it's mind boggling that being said as stale and boring these args are, the part that gets under my skin the most is the fact that the use of the word 'arg' in this context is erroneous. an 'arg' is not a genre, it's a defined form of storytelling. for a series to be an arg, it needs audience participation - the G stands for 'GAME". hidden links and codes are not audience participation, as the videos would've turned out the same way regardless of if you chose to humor them or not. the correct word would be 'unfiction'.
Man, I’m glad there’s not an entity for specifically the snapshot 13w01a, which is the first snapshot for the Redstone Update, a verion released well after I had started watching videos on the game and playing Pocket Edition and yet a decade before I bought the game for myself. I’m so glad the very first Minecraft update I remember learning about, which is specifically snapshot 13w01a, a version I have never played before yet is my personal favorite of all time. I just love snapshot 13w01a specifically.
@@Randi_MyMan Are you perhaps implying I may have fostered the idea of someone creating a horror project themed specifically around Minecraft snapshot 13w01a, my favorite update?

54:30-somthing-ish idfk. I believe the first part of the ARG (the account deletion stuff) WAS the ARG He and Jacob were working on. That was the ARG they fought over - and the ARG that made Jacob leave. The real arg starts after that. I swear I'm the only one who noticed that lmao 55:29: A lot of ARGs don't do that, and still get called ARGs (I.e badwaterproductions2008, classicgmvideos, etc) Just wanted to point that out (unless they somehow have audience interaction i guess)
The beginning intro glitch sound you used for your face at 0:38 sounds kinda like you imported an EXE file into audacity, I like it when people do stuff like that.
Yknow given how many minecraft unfiction series rely on another player altering the world while staying hidden to keep the illusion of whatever the plot is, I kinda wanna see a fake-out minecraft unfiction series that plays out like any other spooky series like this except at some point the player figures out they're in *somebody else's world* and they both keep barely missing eachother to the point the other seems like some kind of ghost to each of them To anyone wondering 'but how would someone be unknowingly playing in someone else's active world' I offer- there is in fact a literal ghost-in-the-machine scenario at play here, however said ghost doesn't appear whatsoever. They were just a lonely minecrafter that wanted to try multi-player to make friends and never got the nerve before they died so now they haunt the game at large, randomly connecting individual players to another player's world without warning 😂
the original binary actually translates to "The foundation is the foundation." i used UTF-16 decoding. the second one is much more challenging to decode
i usually get super scared or at least really unsettled when watching mc ARGs, but im 14 minutes in and i havent felt even a little uneasy yet edit: ik these are supposed to be overanalyzed n stuff, but i havent seen the scary spooky monster man ONCE. where is my beloved spooky shadow?
how to make a minecraft arg step 1 fog step 2 old minecraft version not needed but adviced step 3 if you want something truly scary dont just do it like fnaf with a jumpscare do it like subnautica with everything else but a jumpscare step 4 dont do it for money do it becouse you like it becouse if you just want money it wil feel faker then the CGI of marvel
The binary on the thumbnail says "HowToNotB ARG" replace the space with a null character and you have the closest thing I got to legible text. The signs on the netherrack don't have any text on them.
19:58 This isn't necessarily true. NameMC stores the skin whenever the account is first searched, and that is what the date represents. As far as I know, there's no way to retroactively determine the age of a Minecraft account.
I know this will sound strange but I feel like the binary is ment to be like morsecode 1 representing dashes and 0 being a dot or vice-versa Idk if you'll ever return to this series but if you do it could be worth a try
Have any of you guys ever heard of Andrew gaming this series is still ongoing though and only two people have ever covered it and none of them are people who have covered I've never covered it recently and I need some help to coding all this it's just way too complicated for me so one of you people have to make sense of all of it it's a pretty unique premise
The clip in the opening of this video was just *chefs kiss*, like we've all been there in the mines just mucking about, and with the context of an arg you subconsciously go "ah nothing's gonna happen yet" as the camera stares down that hallways and then.... *Steps intensiffteith black figure* Like seriously that was amazing, and then the arg turns out to be meh. And I'm someone with high tolerance for bullsh*t and even I'm disappointed
Im not a fan of any arg that explains itself instead of letting viewers figure it out themselves. I genuinely feel like this was made by a child and as you said that isnt a jab at the maker. Nice synopsis 😁
Depending on how you view this, this video is either peak satire of ARGs, or someone who's trying to replicate success without undestanding what makes ARGs so intriguing.
Аuthor of the series could try make simpler story. It all comes down to what we are told and not show. (btw i noticed that minecraft makes more errors in the story) Problem is that if you remove Minecraft and leave the text screen, not much will be lost to story

Yknow given how many minecraft unfiction series rely on another player altering the world while staying hidden to keep the illusion of whatever the plot is, I kinda wanna see a fake-out minecraft unfiction series that plays out like any other spooky series like this except at some point the player figures out they're in *somebody else's world* and they both keep barely missing eachother to the point the other seems like some kind of ghost to each of them
To anyone wondering 'but how would someone be unknowingly playing in someone else's active world' I offer- there is in fact a literal ghost-in-the-machine scenario at play here, however said ghost doesn't appear whatsoever. They were just a lonely minecrafter that wanted to try multi-player to make friends and never got the nerve before they died so now they haunt the game at large, randomly connecting individual players to another player's world without warning 😂
How Not To Make An ARG 😭
Why do ARGs do that 240p trash quality, it's just frustrating now, in 2024
the original binary actually translates to "The foundation is the foundation." i used UTF-16 decoding. the second one is much more challenging to decode
0:30
"FLINTLOCK WOOD!"
Tbh if i was in a minecraft arg the moment i see a entity im switching to creative mode
The entity when I turn into creative mode and pull out a gun (he didn’t know I had 3215 mods installed)
@@Cat-On-Wabdermelon bro when he realized im on realms and we jump him
Even if we are older we still sometimes get spooked by the cave sounds
“Sgdgfs dimension” is what really lost me
hey that is my fav channel being talked about by a possibly new fav channel!
The creepy entity in my copy of gmod when I pull out the sexyness gun:
yyYYYAAAAY, NEW ARG STUFF FOR ME TO WATCH, I AM OVERJOYED!!!
We need more pixels scotty!
me pressing the alt and f4 keys at the same time
i usually get super scared or at least really unsettled when watching mc ARGs, but im 14 minutes in and i havent felt even a little uneasy yet
edit: ik these are supposed to be overanalyzed n stuff, but i havent seen the scary spooky monster man ONCE. where is my beloved spooky shadow?
I love how after he leaves and the lil thing is like “very fun” yeah bro VERY fun
Honestly? Meta-ARG is something that *could* have potential IF DONE WELL
how to make a minecraft arg
step 1 fog
step 2 old minecraft version not needed but adviced
step 3 if you want something truly scary dont just do it like fnaf with a jumpscare do it like subnautica with everything else but a jumpscare
step 4 dont do it for money do it becouse you like it becouse if you just want money it wil feel faker then the CGI of marvel
2:06 They were my childhood
The start video was so fucking compressed that i thought i had my quality down
I actually recognize what the 0s and 1s translated to on the January 25 video
Try putting it in a text file and then converting it to an image
I didn’t realize this was a thing! I couldn’t get anything out of it unfortunately, but this’ll be good to know for the future. Thanks!
@@_i_c_ I only know of this because of the Project Libitina arg from ddlc, the Natsuki and Monika character files did something similar
The binary on the thumbnail says "HowToNotB ARG" replace the space with a null character and you have the closest thing I got to legible text. The signs on the netherrack don't have any text on them.
tysm
Little Timmy's first arg
19:58 This isn't necessarily true. NameMC stores the skin whenever the account is first searched, and that is what the date represents. As far as I know, there's no way to retroactively determine the age of a Minecraft account.
when you know the arg is gonna be good because of that unregistered hypercam
39:22: Where do people find these ai voices?
If you plan to cover more minecraft arg’s can you make a playlist for them?
1:10 - minecraft for noobs :'). So many memories...
Y'know.....what i never see is the arg where you always look through the monsters pov.....
I know this will sound strange but I feel like the binary is ment to be like morsecode
1 representing dashes and 0 being a dot or vice-versa
Idk if you'll ever return to this series but if you do it could be worth a try
0:00 you can make a beat out of this.
Oh im so scared about a frozen flying void
I love that ???mm? uses cave noises in his arg, so scary 👍
another ARG, perfect for 6:00AM
honestly if he was smart he wouldve just broken the lever that deletes his account before he left smh
Have any of you guys ever heard of Andrew gaming this series is still ongoing though and only two people have ever covered it and none of them are people who have covered I've never covered it recently and I need some help to coding all this it's just way too complicated for me so one of you people have to make sense of all of it it's a pretty unique premise
The call of the well
Thats honestly my favourite Minecraft arg.
This series failed at being an ARG the moment it presented itself as an ARG. Little Timmy, please, at least commit to the bit.
The clip in the opening of this video was just *chefs kiss*, like we've all been there in the mines just mucking about, and with the context of an arg you subconsciously go "ah nothing's gonna happen yet" as the camera stares down that hallways and then.... *Steps intensiffteith black figure*
Like seriously that was amazing, and then the arg turns out to be meh. And I'm someone with high tolerance for bullsh*t and even I'm disappointed
were the sheep sounds playing when there were none around?
Im not a fan of any arg that explains itself instead of letting viewers figure it out themselves. I genuinely feel like this was made by a child and as you said that isnt a jab at the maker. Nice synopsis 😁
I miss the time where the only notable Minecraft horror is Minecraft pagpag and a white eyed dude in a screenshot
30:04 I built smth like that before 💀
Depending on how you view this, this video is either peak satire of ARGs, or someone who's trying to replicate success without undestanding what makes ARGs so intriguing.
Minecraft args trying to be original challenge
999,999,999,999,999% impossible
The name change might be cus his old account got deleted and the dev team just updated there logs about the account?
the thumbnail says either of these:
HowNotToAnMakeARG
or
HowToMakeARGNotAn
and final result is:
HowToNotMakeAnARG
your welcome
This hypercam lit fr
Thanks!
shut up
Аuthor of the series could try make simpler story. It all comes down to what we are told and not show. (btw i noticed that minecraft makes more errors in the story) Problem is that if you remove Minecraft and leave the text screen, not much will be lost to story
why did you overlay the hypercam 2 logo at the start hypercam 2 doesnt record desktop audio
Wow i didn't know that thanks
The start recording beep too, all in all I just threw stuff at the wall for an intro this time lol
unregistered hyperIC video
The name of the game in the background is the Stanley parable its probably the best game ive played on my pc
bluddy does NOT know what a base 64 is 💀
Who else likes the use of Stanley Parable gameplay in the background?
