    Goose, there is nothing useless about the facts in these videos. Just the other week I was caught in the middle of a hostage situation in my local bank and I managed to placate the robbers by regaling them with obscure information about Mario Golf. By doing so, I believe I saved my life along with the lives of a dozen other bank customers and employees.
    Keep up the good work!

    • @GamerFolklore
      @GamerFolklore  Рік тому +48

      That genuinely sounds believable. I assume many men caught in the life of crime these days would be roughly our age, so regaling them with N64 facts might just be the humanizing trick it takes to get out of a sticky situation.

    Anyone else remember how Blockbuster advertised they'd give you a free copy of the game if you beat it on their in-store display, but the display would reset to a blank save that would autostart at level 1 every ~20 minutes?

  • @ArnieMcStranglehold
    @ArnieMcStranglehold Рік тому +7

    I have only ever played Pokemon Snap in the late 90's inside a floridian Blockbuster. I remember it was one of those systems attached to an early color printer, so you could get actual printouts of your snapshots; a 3x3 grid of pics on a paper the size of a normal photograph.
    I would love to allege that I still have mine but I vaguely remember tossing them during one move, thinking, "Nah, these aren't worth anything, I didn't even know how to play the game."
    And while that is true, it is channels with videos like these that make me think, very long, about the true "value" we hold on things like that. I know was right, they were probably terrible and I genuinely didn't know how to play the game. But for someone like yourself, finding some original Pokemon Snap Blockbuster printouts would be a surge of nostalgic joy, even if it's just as fleeting and temporary as my time spent in that Blockbuster.
    I have been beginning to compile all my old computer files into just a couple backup drives. I have taken an extreme liking to my old screenshot folders, from various games, at various points in time. I have Unreal Tournament screenshots from when I lived with my dad and the game ran at 400x300 so I could get at least a goldeneye framerate. I have ones from games I barely even remember having played, and ones from games that started from nearly nothing and become something immeasurably incredible, like Warframe, and Terraria.
    These nostalgic memories and silly factoids are indeed useless to have, right up until they become incredibly important. I think about that stupid piece of paper from blockbuster more than I ever thought I would have. I also think and wonder why you can't fully break everything in Bunker 2 and shoot out all the lights because some of the lights seem to respawn but not always? And you can't even shoot out all the lights in Silo, because some aren't lights at all. But somehow despite knowing that, I have only learned this year that a game I have spent 26 years with, you can open the silo ceiling by being unarmed.
    Keep goosin' off in these games. I think it helps keep creativity sharp and active, and the nostalgia makes it fun. It made me type an UNEXPECTEDLY LONG wall of text at one in the morning based around a game I have less than two hours total in.

    15:33 "Idiot Bastard" is a very common Japanese insult. I believe it is a combination of the Cowboy Bebop saying as well as the Japanese saying "Baka yarō" which means idiot bastard. This saying is so popular even the characters that raps repeats it all the time in Naruto.

  • @yxlplig33
    @yxlplig33 Рік тому +9

    It would be fun to figure out the origin of the shirt. Personally I think it is of east Asian origin. 95% chance it is referencing Cowboy Bebop (because of font of the first two words). Also I.B. is not a common insult in English, I think it might be a literal translation of 馬鹿野郎. I think it was probably procured from a street vendor in an Asian country.

    No way this hasn't been thought of, but why not test removing the limit of the time between pictures? Spam a picture of a pokemon to get every single frame, to even see if you can get a higher score.

  • @lornadune2506
    @lornadune2506 Рік тому +2

    Ekans' exclusion seems so weird to me. The models are pretty much the same as pokemon stadium's, and ekans looks fine in stadium, it's even a playable mini game character, so I don't know if it's animation was an issue
    The level it was in is savanna, and I don't know if that level was ever seriously meant to be in the game or if it was just a test area since it's so flat, but it doesn't make sense to be to cut the pokemon if the level was cut rather than just moving it to another level.
    I feel like ekans would be right at home on beach or river. It could replace the last meowth that the pidgey attack and slither away or strike depending on if the player intervenes. On river, maybe it could be chasing the poliwag out of the grass and into the river, but you could drive it away and photograph it later in the stage?

    My ruling on the Pikachu T-shirt: I think it’s a relatively modern shirt, probably within the past 8 years.
    The “SEE YOU idiot bastard” phrase is in-line with current meme humor, and the screenshot is a crystal clear one from an emulator. (If it were from back in the day, the quality would’ve been from a fuzzy CRT capture)
    I also second that “See You” is in fact a reference to Cowboy Bebop, given the font and italic styling matches up. It’s also in the spot it appears in the anime, being in the lower right corner.
    Regardless, this was a really interesting video. I kinda want that shirt now lol
