@@AzafuseKingTora The Tester was a Reality TV thing Playstation did to promote I think the PS3. One of the contestants was routinely bullied, excluded, and insulted, to the point where she is forced to vote for herself as "Most undeserving to be here," in a challenge where they have to guess what other people answered to certain questions, despite seeming to have done nothing except be happy and excited. The 2nd one was mainly joking, as during his two Punch Out Rule Violation vids he was over the top "scared" of Aran Ryan because of how many rules he broke.
@@ECODKyleskymast The bullying was primarily from the other contestants. If you want someone the show itself bullied, then look at Egoraptor, who was repeatedly edited and cut around to make him seem like a narcissistic egomaniac, and was kicked off the show on episode 2 despite performing by far the best of anyone that episode.
one thing that ive always found stupid is people saying "the person in the sonic.exe story shouldve just broken the disk" but like... the person's friend had the ability to write on the disk, write a letter, put the disk in a case, put the case in the letter, and send it somewhere if it was really so urgent, then they wouldve just smashed the disk themselves with all that time they had like, wow it must be so threatening and dangerous if their friend had like what, 3-4 minutes to get ready to mail the disk over?
@@galanga21890 If JC were a more clever writer, he would have said that Exe went ahead and let the friend attach the warning because he knew that doing so was futile. the guy he was mailing it to wouldn't be able to resist the siren call of curiosity.

I'd like a subversion of creepypastas. Story where the haunted game is restricted to the screen, and the person playin' it wants to try and help whatever spirit's stuck there. To get out? To move on? To just have a little fun for a bit maybe? To make a friend, even?
Something kinda like that is Gunslinger Pro 2009 and Badwater 2009. Really cool ARGs. They're definitely not about helping the spirit but it's still really interesting
Actually, there is at least one that's just like that. "Sim Albert" is about a haunted Sims game, but the ghost in it just wishes to live a second life and the player helps him do so. It's nothing ground breaking, but even just a flip of "And I got a haunted copy of a popular game and things happened to me, oooo!" already sounds better than more teenage horror stories that's all shock, no value. There's also "Feelpastas", again just a nicer twist of creepypastas. I'll point to "The One Left Behind", which is about a Red/Blue game where the player somehow picks the Pokemon Red and Blue don't take and has a good time. It's more for Pokemon fans, but it's proof there was more than "HyPeR rEaLiStIc BlOoD" out there. I'm kinda glad we all had a chance to grow out of failing to do Are You Afraid Of The Dark? but on the net, but it also glad didn't kill off internet horror because we literally wouldn't have LOCAL58 without Candle Cove (same creator)
Godzilla's not so much a creepypasta, so much as it is a weird, no budget kaiju film, and I appreciate it as that. I'd also argue that a game genuinely making itself an interesting experience that you can't stop playing because you want to see what's next is more compelling than having a game tie you down and force you to play it like you're an AVGN ripoff. The girlfriend stuff is dumb though.
Yeah excatly, everything in plot was making sense until girlfriend stuff showed up. At this point it was too cheesy. Everything else is nice tho. Honestly its like my favourite videogame creepypasta (but i havent looked into Ben Drowned much, maybe its better)
i'd choose to say "no budget text anime" and the paranormal "i couldn't stop playing, and the game burned me and fucked my wife" stuff does drive it over the edge, and it just becomes silly lol the game ghost being very personal to the gamer protag is an idea that can work, but this ain't it... i'd love to see where it _is_ it, because i have never seen it the effort is admirable, though, i think that's unanimous
Yeah. Godzilla NES gets real unrealistic once the author's gf gets involved. Its why I much prefer the lost media creepypasta based on Godzilla vs Destoroyah.
I actually love the lavender town theme PS: Herobrine was the gamertag of a normal swedish person. Almost everyone knows it's fake, and it's become more of a running joke. And the twerking Sonic was more terrifying then most of these
I would like to note, Polybius is actually slightly plausible if you know it's based on real events. Many 80s arcade games WERE known to induce brief amnesiac episodes in players...On account of their triggering photosensitive epilepsy. Since bright flashing lights in rapidly cycling colors are not exactly commonplace outside of video games, most people with photosensitive epilepsy at the time didn’t know they had it, and there was little public awareness of the condition, creating the impression that the games themselves had some sort of mystical power. Similarly, many early video arcades really were subject to covert monitoring by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, not because of illicit medical experiments, but because many arcades were suspected (sometimes correctly) of being fronts for underground gambling rings. And it was pretty common for weird video game cabinets to pop up in odd locations before vanishing leaving no records...Because those were bootlegs. Add those three things together, and Polybius seems oddly plausible.
23:51 I mean another iconic 3 word phrase that came from Sonic.exe is "Bull. Friggin. Horseshit" from when the author found out it got moved to the crappypasta wiki
What's the beef with Minecraft? And, as for the Godzilla Creepypasta...I'll admit, it's cheesy as hell and riddled with cliche, but, hey, that pixel art is damn good, and it's clearly a love letter to Godzilla, which, as a fan, I can't really fault.
Sure it's cheesiche city, but damn. That fucking "kill yourself" part scared baby fish so much i couldn't sleep for days, and red is a cool monster design, I would love to see him in the legendary style.
The amount of buildup for the "sound that caused the Fallout creepypasta author to kill himself" only for it to be Neco-Arc followed by a _violent_ gunshot made me burst into laughter, thank you for that
One thing I'd like to add to Herobrine was that it was actually originally posted to /v/, just as is, with no further context. While the original story certainly codified it, it was actually this vague, weird post that popularized the idea, without all the "notch's brother" baggage, which in my eyes makes it way better. That wasn't the original author's stuff, the og creator's just been lost to time because they were just some anon on a gaming board. Also worth noting that Herobrine directly inspired two separate mobs in Minecraft; The Enderman, with their "watching the player vaguely menacingly" and "stealing random blocks", and the upcoming warden, with the whole "terrifying thing that pops up out of no where" bit, easily making it the most influential gaming creepypasta of all time. Also, I'm 100% certain tails doll didn't get popular because people actually read the story, it got popular because, for some fucking reason, there's a really creepy still image of the tails doll you can unlock in the game, and people just remembered that when they saw the title and went "yea, that works as a creepypasta I guess." And on Godzilla NES... Yea, I feel like the story was more a way for the author to show off his cool pixel art, it honestly isn't even really scary. I honestly do like the story, but more because I find it interesting then remotely scary, at least when imagining this in the context of the Godzilla characters actually experiencing it in the game's story. That, and Red looks *exactly* like a stupid ass "evil monster" Kaiju that would terrify small children for Godzilla to beat up in a classic monster movie, and for that, I have to give props. The guy really does love Godzilla. Tidbits aside, I loved the transitions, they're easily your best yet and I will forever wish UA-cam was a person so I could kick it half to death for not telling me about your uploads for like a month. Also, pleasantly surprised you didn't fall for the Mario "I hate you.exe" trollpasta. Like, so many people fell for that one it got a fangame like Sonic.exe did, and after that most people assumed it to be legit. And one last point: as bad as some of these can be, they're also directly to thank for the rise in dark and/or creepy stuff in indie games (seriously, half the shit you can do in Undertale feels like it coulda been written in a creepy pasta word for word (except, ya know, good), and that's not even counting the genocide route, you can just do fucked up shit for the fun of it), and the rise of internet indie horror in general. Pioneers of a genre are never the best examples of it.
You mean the picture of the doll floating alone in a checkered-floored abyss with a single spotlight shining on it? Nowadays I see that picture for Tails Doll as more underwhelming than creepy. In the game's story- if you can call it that- the Tails Doll was made by a desperate Robotnik with dwindling resources as a last ditch attempt to stop the blue blur. That picture is basically the game saying _"Here it is. It's just a plush with a drone in its head. Dunno what you all were expecting..."_
the scariest gaming creepypasta is when the gamecube boots up to the main menu I genuinely thought my gamecube was haunted the first time i booted it up without a disk
I never thought it was ghosts, but that shit did scare me as a kid. As my discs got more scratched (because I was a dumb kid) I was terrified that it would show that screen.
That one mario creepy pasta on tumblr that reads "mario once came out of my screen and killed my mom and my parents" sums up the whole creepypasta experience. Yes it was written like that.
The reason people like the Godzilla Nes Creepypasta isn't the story; most fans haven't even read it. The thing people care about is the fact that there's a real playable game to go along with it.
i think with hauntedvideo game creepypastas, i think writers need to realize that an actual spooky glitched game THAT YOU CAN PHYSICALLY PLAY is ten times spookier than having all the scary stuff described.
As much as it pains me to say it, watching Sonic.exe gameplay on its own with no commentary managed to scare me. I had a few people in my life that had... Interesting responses to my annoying young self. Long story short, It felt like I couldn't trust anyone because anyone could become a scary monster out of nowhere. Now, of course I had seen a few 2d Sonics before, and he's this wholesome guy that cares about his planet and his friends. Seeing him out of nowhere be a phsychopath just reached somewhere in my brain that it shouldn't have, but managed to anyway. Then I learned that I was the only one genuinely spooked by it and figured I should move on.
I was really hoping the crown jewel at the end of the video would have been Blood Whistle. The Mario 64 creepypasta there covers a lot of similar bases, but Blood Whistle is a masterclass in how to do everything wrong and be boring as sin. It's earned a soft spot in my heart, kind of like The Room.
You know a story's bad when the protagonist goes on and on about how he's gonna take his own life after he beats the game, and you're just like _"Why wait, man?"_
We technically already have that. Your profile picture is really fitting because it's the creepypasta about that girl trapped inside that boys consoles. The one where she forcibly brings him into wherever she was to do the same thing to some other poor soul.
Fun Fact: Sonic.EXE was SO bad, the story got kicked off the creepypasta website it was on, reuploaded on another, kicked off again, and reuploaded on the TROLLPASTA site.
For me, the spookiest creepypasta had to have been “Snow on Mt. Silver”. Seriously, I couldn’t sleep for weeks after that one, and while now it’s not scary at all, that shit was terrifying compared to strangled red, creepy black, lost silver, etc.
honestly the only really good creepy past i remember as "good" is this old mario world one that blatantly states "hey, this game isn't haunted or anything, i just broke the game files by playing the rom through a crappy emulator to many times and found an alternate ending. here's what happened."
@@bumblesmcfumbles I respect your opinions in the video but sonic.exe has evolved, has its own universe’s (ai and nightmare), and lore of them is shockingly well done for the actual good ones, ui kostas man genius writer.
The thing with NES gozdilla is that is a "personalized copy" it was different for everyone that plays it. So Red wasn't actually a real being possessing a game and trapping Zach's dead girlfriend. It was just lines of code that focused on a tragic memory from Zac's past. Not a lot of people like the ending though as it does get tropey with the game leaking out into real life. The personalized game copy was hammered down even more in the ongoing sequel in which the new protagonist (I forget the name) has a radically different game with the new big bad being a character called Warlock. Their are also actual friendly NPCs in the game that weren't in the original story. I do wish the first story emphasized how the copy was tailored to the player and their experience with it instead of keeping it in the dark and making you think it was haunted by a tumor and a dead girl.
i love your stuff dude! I found your channel though the first punchout video...kinda?

But yeah, I have been recommending your stuff to my friends ever since, your punchout and banned videogames made me laugh so much man.
@@bumblesmcfumbles honestly I feel like I should thank *you* if anything, you make all those awesome videos for free, you brought so many smiles to my face recently while also teaching me some neat fact that I had no idea about before. But yeah, take care man! Have a nice weekend ^^
My favorite part of the Ben Drowned creepy pasta is the April fools video he uploaded after it was sorta over the first time. I will never forget rewatching the series just to relive a bit of the childlike wonder I shared with my brother when we were kids only to suddenly hear KING KONG KING KING KING KONG and seeing a swag edit of Goron Link
If the Internet didn’t decide to call them “creepypastas” they might’ve had a chance. No one’s gonna want to read the collected Works of “Aesop’s spooky bean farts”
Funny thing about tagging Super Sonic as Tails Doll. I managed to do it. _twice!_ on two different playthroughs! it took me about an hour each time, but I got the bastard both times. The trick is that Tails Doll is the only racer that doesn't slow down or sink in water, since its always floating. You can get Super Sonic by taking shortcuts and detours that no other racer can even dream of taking! It also helps that Tag Mode has you in free roam and you don't have to follow the track, and you have all the time in the world to tag everyone since the mode is a time trial to see if you can beat your personal best.
18:23 Funny you mention this method, Sonic and Tails actually do this to it in the Archie comics after beating it and taking the crystal on its head off.
OHHH MAN THIS. this is an actual blast to the past. i used to write creepypastas and well, they sucked, but i have to admit that writing them was my first dip into writing and i'm grateful for that. well that and MLP fanfiction.
Can we appreciate the effort and detail put into these YGO card transitions and what cards are used- ok 6:10 I WAS WEARING HEADPHONES AND THAT LEVEL OF AUDIO MIXING WAS DICKISH
Here's a little bit of trivia about the Polybius thing. There actually were FBI Agents gathering data from Arcade Cabinets. But for a different reason. See, people would watch people playing games like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter or stuff like that and actually place bets on who they thought would win. There would be cameras placed inside of the cabinets so they'd find put who was placing bets.
Godzilla nes is completely held up by the design of red and the initial mystery of what red is but as soon as you learn what red is the story becomes so lame it would have been so much better if they never explained red
I enjoyed Godzilla NES when I read it, but there is no denying that it decides the best way to present a big horror moment is to quote The Lion King. No, I'm into it. Freddy Kreuger's new catchphrase is "Can you feel the love tonight?" Play Hakuna Matata over the ending of Midsommar. It works!
Candle Cove is easily my favorite for how on the nose it is about how terrifying a lot of low budget stop motion shows can be at times, with a hint of the supernatural. Its a lot more lowkey than other creepypastas which is refreshing to see.
God, I’m so happy to have found this channel. Cool, funny videos about video games and interesting related topics by someone who’s not massively transmisogynistic at worst and silent on some creators’ shittiness at best, and to top it all off he even shares my obsessive love of all things yugioh, with the early duel links character videos and various iconic sets of cards used for transitions. Keep up the great work man, every video has been a gift so far.
If you ever do another one of these, I’d like to see you review Snowy on Mt. Silver. I personally think it’s a better crafted G/S creepypasta than Lost Silver, and one that often gets overlooked. Edit: Fixed a typo
“Deciding to take revenge on all those people who said he had a rough transition to 3D!” HAH! Look, even as an 06/3D sonic fanboy that was fuckin hysterical.
this is the first time anyone's explained that i've found, that the godzilla story focuses to much on zack, brings up reds origins, and so forth, most of the versions i like just go on to have red appear, and have the main character manage to beat him in a tyrannically difficult boss fight
The best Pokémon creepypasta is mad pickachu. It is incredible. I will summarizes it for you. A kid gets his game on a Pokémon game. He plays it on a tv (somehow), and his friend is there. His friend catches six pickachu. He then leaves. Then the pickachus come out of the screen and unalive the kid. They write three letters on the TV M A D. The kid’s parents went to Nintendo and Nintendo said they never did that, but when the kid’s friend said he caught 6 pickachu. Everyone was shocked. Best story ever
Won't lie, I was taken in by the Pokemon Black story back in the day. I was willing to believe just about anything when I learned how to do the seemingly insane sequence of events to make Missingno appear.
Pretty much the only creepypasta I’m personally interested in is “Abandoned By Disney”. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you do so. It, as well as its sequels, are great.
Hell yeah your upload scedule actually just fits perfectly for me after work! Tho sadly most creepypastas for me got boring indeed i only listened to some until i realized it mostly ends with "And you/he/she died" Or "And he/she/you became the monster/being/killer" Tbh it really depends on some the writing of the person. If you understand basic writing and how to stay consistent you can come with amazing stories such as Ben drowned. Great video you make things entertaining.... when more tester? (Just meme-ing)
Actually, there's an actually good version of Sonic.exe by someone by the name of Mouse something something. It's basically a VHS horror series. I looked up Gearisko, and it is NeedleMouse.
My favorite video game creepypasta would have to be Wario Apparition. "Favorite" in the sense that he seems like an okay guy and I would have beers with him. There's stuff in the actual games scarier than it.
I respect Godzilla NES a lot because it actually set out to be a *story* , and the Pixel-Art in it was really cool. To say the way I design horror shit is influenced by the way Cosbydaf designed the stuff in the Pasta would be an understatement. I still need to keep studying and creating monster designs like that, to be honest. But, yeah, I completely agree with the writing being egregiously cheesy and outdated. There were plenty of pretty fantastic ideas being thrown around at points though, as trope-y as they were. It still remains to this day as my favorite "classic" creepypasta, at least in terms of the monsters. If we take some of the new stuff into consideration though, that's where things get complicated.
The last one I don't think the last one was a creepy pasta I think the person made it because he just liked making Godzilla art and he just made it to showcase his art
you made the joke about punting tails doll through a field goal but I'm pretty sure sonic and tails did that to him after the reboot in the archie days
I once saw this Persona 3 creepypasta where Igor actually talks to the player. Not the protagonist but you. I didn’t finish it because it was so late and I’ve died in 1995 and possessed my phone but I didn’t think anything was wrong with that. It was probably the closest thing to a Persona fan’s dream.
when I first heard about how the grim reaper comes after you if you spend too long on a level I thought it was just a story until I tried it. it still freaks me tf out
I actually liked NES Godzilla until the girlfriend plot was introduced. It got even worse when Red revealed himself as the truck driver that killed her.

Yeah excatly, everything in plot was making sense until girlfriend stuff showed up. At this point it was too cheesy.
Everything else is nice tho. Honestly its like my favourite videogame creepypasta (but i havent looked into Ben Drowned much, maybe its better)
i'd choose to say "no budget text anime"
and the paranormal "i couldn't stop playing, and the game burned me and fucked my wife" stuff does drive it over the edge, and it just becomes silly lol
the game ghost being very personal to the gamer protag is an idea that can work, but this ain't it... i'd love to see where it _is_ it, because i have never seen it
the effort is admirable, though, i think that's unanimous
I still really like the creepypasta except the ending and dead girlfriend thing and i can't wait till the fan game is fully done
Yeah.
Godzilla NES gets real unrealistic once the author's gf gets involved.
Its why I much prefer the lost media creepypasta based on Godzilla vs Destoroyah.
@@goldenhydreigon4727 they made a creepypasta on Godzilla vs Destroyah?
I actually love the lavender town theme
PS: Herobrine was the gamertag of a normal swedish person.
Almost everyone knows it's fake, and it's become more of a running joke.
And the twerking Sonic was more terrifying then most of these
Cant believe there was a time when Creepypastas were actually creepy
wii deleted you is like old creepypastas but with lore
More like we were all younger and thus more naive.
I would like to note, Polybius is actually slightly plausible if you know it's based on real events. Many 80s arcade games WERE known to induce brief amnesiac episodes in players...On account of their triggering photosensitive epilepsy. Since bright flashing lights in rapidly cycling colors are not exactly commonplace outside of video games, most people with photosensitive epilepsy at the time didn’t know they had it, and there was little public awareness of the condition, creating the impression that the games themselves had some sort of mystical power. Similarly, many early video arcades really were subject to covert monitoring by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, not because of illicit medical experiments, but because many arcades were suspected (sometimes correctly) of being fronts for underground gambling rings. And it was pretty common for weird video game cabinets to pop up in odd locations before vanishing leaving no records...Because those were bootlegs. Add those three things together, and Polybius seems oddly plausible.
I love it when there's a mundane explanation for something supernatural.
23:51 I mean another iconic 3 word phrase that came from Sonic.exe is "Bull. Friggin. Horseshit" from when the author found out it got moved to the crappypasta wiki
can i just say that i LOVE your transitions? like it's perfection.
What's the beef with Minecraft? And, as for the Godzilla Creepypasta...I'll admit, it's cheesy as hell and riddled with cliche, but, hey, that pixel art is damn good, and it's clearly a love letter to Godzilla, which, as a fan, I can't really fault.
Sure it's cheesiche city, but damn. That fucking "kill yourself" part scared baby fish so much i couldn't sleep for days, and red is a cool monster design, I would love to see him in the legendary style.
@@FishGaming1245 "scared baby fish" aaaawww
Wow, I can't believe the Fallout 3 Creepypasta was completely and unquestionably right if you adjust for about 8 years.
I think that Creepypasta predicted Queen Elizabeth dying like how The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump being the 45th President.
The amount of buildup for the "sound that caused the Fallout creepypasta author to kill himself" only for it to be Neco-Arc followed by a _violent_ gunshot made me burst into laughter, thank you for that
You made some good points on Godzilla NES, but you also said you believed in lavender town till like a year ago.
You dont like minecraft!?
That’s…
A perfectly valid opinion that I can respect, even if I don’t directly agree with it
you had me in the first half not gonna lie
In fact it's correct because Minecraft is a terrible game for babies
@@omgman5745Well, Sadly the developers are trying to make it that and we are close too...
Terraria was always better anyway.
One thing I'd like to add to Herobrine was that it was actually originally posted to /v/, just as is, with no further context.
While the original story certainly codified it, it was actually this vague, weird post that popularized the idea, without all the "notch's brother" baggage, which in my eyes makes it way better. That wasn't the original author's stuff, the og creator's just been lost to time because they were just some anon on a gaming board.
Also worth noting that Herobrine directly inspired two separate mobs in Minecraft; The Enderman, with their "watching the player vaguely menacingly" and "stealing random blocks", and the upcoming warden, with the whole "terrifying thing that pops up out of no where" bit, easily making it the most influential gaming creepypasta of all time.
Also, I'm 100% certain tails doll didn't get popular because people actually read the story, it got popular because, for some fucking reason, there's a really creepy still image of the tails doll you can unlock in the game, and people just remembered that when they saw the title and went "yea, that works as a creepypasta I guess."
And on Godzilla NES... Yea, I feel like the story was more a way for the author to show off his cool pixel art, it honestly isn't even really scary. I honestly do like the story, but more because I find it interesting then remotely scary, at least when imagining this in the context of the Godzilla characters actually experiencing it in the game's story.
That, and Red looks *exactly* like a stupid ass "evil monster" Kaiju that would terrify small children for Godzilla to beat up in a classic monster movie, and for that, I have to give props. The guy really does love Godzilla.
Tidbits aside, I loved the transitions, they're easily your best yet and I will forever wish UA-cam was a person so I could kick it half to death for not telling me about your uploads for like a month.
Also, pleasantly surprised you didn't fall for the Mario "I hate you.exe" trollpasta. Like, so many people fell for that one it got a fangame like Sonic.exe did, and after that most people assumed it to be legit.
And one last point: as bad as some of these can be, they're also directly to thank for the rise in dark and/or creepy stuff in indie games (seriously, half the shit you can do in Undertale feels like it coulda been written in a creepy pasta word for word (except, ya know, good), and that's not even counting the genocide route, you can just do fucked up shit for the fun of it), and the rise of internet indie horror in general. Pioneers of a genre are never the best examples of it.
I thought the main inspiration behind the Enderman was the Slenerman creepypasta?
You mean the picture of the doll floating alone in a checkered-floored abyss with a single spotlight shining on it?
Nowadays I see that picture for Tails Doll as more underwhelming than creepy. In the game's story- if you can call it that- the Tails Doll was made by a desperate Robotnik with dwindling resources as a last ditch attempt to stop the blue blur.
That picture is basically the game saying _"Here it is. It's just a plush with a drone in its head. Dunno what you all were expecting..."_
the scariest gaming creepypasta is when the gamecube boots up to the main menu
I genuinely thought my gamecube was haunted the first time i booted it up without a disk
I never thought it was ghosts, but that shit did scare me as a kid. As my discs got more scratched (because I was a dumb kid) I was terrified that it would show that screen.
That one mario creepy pasta on tumblr that reads "mario once came out of my screen and killed my mom and my parents" sums up the whole creepypasta experience.
Yes it was written like that.
As a Swedish man I can confirm that we all know every other Swedes location at all times
The reason people like the Godzilla Nes Creepypasta isn't the story; most fans haven't even read it. The thing people care about is the fact that there's a real playable game to go along with it.
And even then, Sonic.exe, a much worse creepypasta, also has a game to go with it.
As does Lost Silver
And Creepy Black
And Ben Drowned
And Slenderman
@@goldenhydreigon4727 yes but the Godzilla Creepypasta game was pretty good and a real game
@@goldenhydreigon4727 and Mario 85
Don't forget Solomon
Those knocking noises scared me shitless. I thought somebody was at my window lol
i think with hauntedvideo game creepypastas, i think writers need to realize that an actual spooky glitched game THAT YOU CAN PHYSICALLY PLAY is ten times spookier than having all the scary stuff described.
As much as it pains me to say it, watching Sonic.exe gameplay on its own with no commentary managed to scare me. I had a few people in my life that had... Interesting responses to my annoying young self. Long story short, It felt like I couldn't trust anyone because anyone could become a scary monster out of nowhere. Now, of course I had seen a few 2d Sonics before, and he's this wholesome guy that cares about his planet and his friends. Seeing him out of nowhere be a phsychopath just reached somewhere in my brain that it shouldn't have, but managed to anyway.
Then I learned that I was the only one genuinely spooked by it and figured I should move on.
Finally, watching all those episodes of BS Creepypasta Storytime serves a purpose
Ah yes, another Fat D enjoyer
I was really hoping the crown jewel at the end of the video would have been Blood Whistle. The Mario 64 creepypasta there covers a lot of similar bases, but Blood Whistle is a masterclass in how to do everything wrong and be boring as sin. It's earned a soft spot in my heart, kind of like The Room.
You know a story's bad when the protagonist goes on and on about how he's gonna take his own life after he beats the game, and you're just like _"Why wait, man?"_
Hear its cry.
See now I want a story about a ghost trying to make their game fun for people instead of scaring them.
We technically already have that. Your profile picture is really fitting because it's the creepypasta about that girl trapped inside that boys consoles. The one where she forcibly brings him into wherever she was to do the same thing to some other poor soul.
According to the Creepypasta wiki, NES Godzilla only has about 9-11 of the most common video game creepypasta clichés out of a possible 28.
Fun Fact: Sonic.EXE was SO bad, the story got kicked off the creepypasta website it was on, reuploaded on another, kicked off again, and reuploaded on the TROLLPASTA site.
For me, the spookiest creepypasta had to have been “Snow on Mt. Silver”.
Seriously, I couldn’t sleep for weeks after that one, and while now it’s not scary at all, that shit was terrifying compared to strangled red, creepy black, lost silver, etc.
Snow on Mt. Silver?
honestly the only really good creepy past i remember as "good" is this old mario world one that blatantly states "hey, this game isn't haunted or anything, i just broke the game files by playing the rom through a crappy emulator to many times and found an alternate ending. here's what happened."
I think I remember that one, wasn’t it titled “oh God no” where you fight Luigi at the end of the game?
@@reddeath5791 correct.
After you admitted to still believing in lavender town to until a year ago and I can't take any of your opinions on the dumb creepy pastas seriously
You know what that's actually really fair. I haven't been able to take myself seriously either.
@@bumblesmcfumbles I respect your opinions in the video but sonic.exe has evolved, has its own universe’s (ai and nightmare), and lore of them is shockingly well done for the actual good ones, ui kostas man genius writer.
@@diegoizaguirre3452 actually no it is not well done I read the stories it’s awful.
@@spyishere3054 I was talking about the fan games.
@@diegoizaguirre3452 oh! Of course those are good! Because someone actually cared XD
The thing with NES gozdilla is that is a "personalized copy" it was different for everyone that plays it. So Red wasn't actually a real being possessing a game and trapping Zach's dead girlfriend. It was just lines of code that focused on a tragic memory from Zac's past. Not a lot of people like the ending though as it does get tropey with the game leaking out into real life. The personalized game copy was hammered down even more in the ongoing sequel in which the new protagonist (I forget the name) has a radically different game with the new big bad being a character called Warlock. Their are also actual friendly NPCs in the game that weren't in the original story. I do wish the first story emphasized how the copy was tailored to the player and their experience with it instead of keeping it in the dark and making you think it was haunted by a tumor and a dead girl.
I love How Bumbles just goes a sad "what...?" to finding out kids didn't kill themselves over bad music
Also, we aren’t waiting for Lizzy anymore
i love your stuff dude! I found your channel though the first punchout video...kinda?
Funnily enough my first video I watched from your channel was the yugioh iceberg which...i actually didn't know was from your channel until a while later when I found your punchout video and went back to watch your earlier videos.
But yeah, I have been recommending your stuff to my friends ever since, your punchout and banned videogames made me laugh so much man.
Thank you! That's very sweet of you!
@@bumblesmcfumbles honestly I feel like I should thank *you* if anything, you make all those awesome videos for free, you brought so many smiles to my face recently while also teaching me some neat fact that I had no idea about before.
But yeah, take care man! Have a nice weekend ^^
Real ones joined after the Aleister Duel Links voice lines video
My favorite part of the Ben Drowned creepy pasta is the April fools video he uploaded after it was sorta over the first time. I will never forget rewatching the series just to relive a bit of the childlike wonder I shared with my brother when we were kids only to suddenly hear KING KONG KING KING KING KONG and seeing a swag edit of Goron Link
If the Internet didn’t decide to call them “creepypastas” they might’ve had a chance.
No one’s gonna want to read the collected Works of “Aesop’s spooky bean farts”
Funny thing about tagging Super Sonic as Tails Doll. I managed to do it. _twice!_ on two different playthroughs! it took me about an hour each time, but I got the bastard both times. The trick is that Tails Doll is the only racer that doesn't slow down or sink in water, since its always floating. You can get Super Sonic by taking shortcuts and detours that no other racer can even dream of taking!
It also helps that Tag Mode has you in free roam and you don't have to follow the track, and you have all the time in the world to tag everyone since the mode is a time trial to see if you can beat your personal best.
18:23 Funny you mention this method, Sonic and Tails actually do this to it in the Archie comics after beating it and taking the crystal on its head off.
Using all the horror themed cards and destiny board was a really nice touch!
Tails doll legitimately creeped me out when I first heard about it. I almost forgot about him. Glad to know he is still failing to haunt the internet.
Truly excellent outro this time BumFum! What you said was evocative and thought provoking! I couldn't have said it better myself, bravo! Huzzah!
I love your content, and your channel. The only problem I have with your channel is that there isn't.. MORE of it. It's just AMAZING.
OHHH MAN THIS. this is an actual blast to the past. i used to write creepypastas and well, they sucked, but i have to admit that writing them was my first dip into writing and i'm grateful for that.
well that and MLP fanfiction.
Can we appreciate the effort and detail put into these YGO card transitions and what cards are used- ok 6:10 I WAS WEARING HEADPHONES AND THAT LEVEL OF AUDIO MIXING WAS DICKISH
Here's a little bit of trivia about the Polybius thing. There actually were FBI Agents gathering data from Arcade Cabinets. But for a different reason.
See, people would watch people playing games like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter or stuff like that and actually place bets on who they thought would win.
There would be cameras placed inside of the cabinets so they'd find put who was placing bets.
Godzilla nes is completely held up by the design of red and the initial mystery of what red is but as soon as you learn what red is the story becomes so lame it would have been so much better if they never explained red
Update, they were a few years late but the queen is dead now
I enjoyed Godzilla NES when I read it, but there is no denying that it decides the best way to present a big horror moment is to quote The Lion King. No, I'm into it. Freddy Kreuger's new catchphrase is "Can you feel the love tonight?" Play Hakuna Matata over the ending of Midsommar. It works!
Godzilla NES is like watching that cheesy Jason vs Freddy movie bur you can tell it had alot of heart in it
...I kind of love Jason vs Freddy, so I guess I have to have a soft spot for Godzilla NES.
Candle Cove is easily my favorite for how on the nose it is about how terrifying a lot of low budget stop motion shows can be at times, with a hint of the supernatural. Its a lot more lowkey than other creepypastas which is refreshing to see.
Yoooooo starting the video off with Demon's Crest ost! Already off to a great start!
Love that game
God, I’m so happy to have found this channel. Cool, funny videos about video games and interesting related topics by someone who’s not massively transmisogynistic at worst and silent on some creators’ shittiness at best, and to top it all off he even shares my obsessive love of all things yugioh, with the early duel links character videos and various iconic sets of cards used for transitions. Keep up the great work man, every video has been a gift so far.
If you ever do another one of these, I’d like to see you review Snowy on Mt. Silver. I personally think it’s a better crafted G/S creepypasta than Lost Silver, and one that often gets overlooked.
Edit: Fixed a typo
“Deciding to take revenge on all those people who said he had a rough transition to 3D!”
HAH!
Look, even as an 06/3D sonic fanboy that was fuckin hysterical.
this is the first time anyone's explained that i've found, that the godzilla story focuses to much on zack, brings up reds origins, and so forth, most of the versions i like just go on to have red appear, and have the main character manage to beat him in a tyrannically difficult boss fight
The best Pokémon creepypasta is mad pickachu. It is incredible. I will summarizes it for you. A kid gets his game on a Pokémon game. He plays it on a tv (somehow), and his friend is there. His friend catches six pickachu. He then leaves. Then the pickachus come out of the screen and unalive the kid. They write three letters on the TV M A D. The kid’s parents went to Nintendo and Nintendo said they never did that, but when the kid’s friend said he caught 6 pickachu. Everyone was shocked.
Best story ever
Won't lie, I was taken in by the Pokemon Black story back in the day. I was willing to believe just about anything when I learned how to do the seemingly insane sequence of events to make Missingno appear.
Creepypasta but take a shot for every time it says "hyper realistic"
Was hoping for you to talk about the "Tails Dolls curse" of 'Sonic R'. Was delighted and not disappointed. 👍🏿
Hearing these stories again is oddly nostalgic! And WOW a lot of these had some ridiculous plot points, huh
Pretty much the only creepypasta I’m personally interested in is “Abandoned By Disney”. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you do so. It, as well as its sequels, are great.
7:15 this did not age well
Just like her
@@bumblesmcfumbles damn
@@randomviewer427 down with the Queen down with the monarchy and give back those six counties back
I got scared by the intermittent DAMN!s more than the actual stories
Hell yeah your upload scedule actually just fits perfectly for me after work!
Tho sadly most creepypastas for me got boring indeed i only listened to some until i realized it mostly ends with
"And you/he/she died"
Or
"And he/she/you became the monster/being/killer"
Tbh it really depends on some the writing of the person. If you understand basic writing and how to stay consistent you can come with amazing stories such as Ben drowned.
Great video you make things entertaining.... when more tester? (Just meme-ing)
Actually, there's an actually good version of Sonic.exe by someone by the name of Mouse something something. It's basically a VHS horror series.
I looked up Gearisko, and it is NeedleMouse.
My favorite video game creepypasta would have to be Wario Apparition. "Favorite" in the sense that he seems like an okay guy and I would have beers with him. There's stuff in the actual games scarier than it.
GOD DAMN IT THE FUCKING NEKO ARC SOUND EFFECT KILLED ME
I respect Godzilla NES a lot because it actually set out to be a *story* , and the Pixel-Art in it was really cool. To say the way I design horror shit is influenced by the way Cosbydaf designed the stuff in the Pasta would be an understatement.
I still need to keep studying and creating monster designs like that, to be honest.
But, yeah, I completely agree with the writing being egregiously cheesy and outdated. There were plenty of pretty fantastic ideas being thrown around at points though, as trope-y as they were.
It still remains to this day as my favorite "classic" creepypasta, at least in terms of the monsters. If we take some of the new stuff into consideration though, that's where things get complicated.
Bro did not diss Lost Silver
the fucking knocking brfore the fallout one spooked the shit out of me, mostly because it's night
Red actually is scary because it makes sense, Zack doesn't think it's supernatural but thinks it's a glitch or a rom.
Was like wait a minute English release of Yugioh uses F I N A L for the Destiny Board not D E A T H then I looked at the card names got me there.
Godzilla NES is better if, rather than viewing it as a horror story, you view it as just a story.
7:28 God this was so unintentionally hilarious😂
The last one I don't think the last one was a creepy pasta I think the person made it because he just liked making Godzilla art and he just made it to showcase his art
Be a lot more creepy if she would past tensed two more years later and the coder forgot to carry the 1.
I'm wearing headphones and I swear those knocks at 6:20 sounded real like someone was knocking at the walls of my house
Same thing happened to me. I ended up getting up to see if someone was at my door. Very well done for the sound design!
you made the joke about punting tails doll through a field goal but I'm pretty sure sonic and tails did that to him after the reboot in the archie days
Thanks for the “no more heroes” style chapter cards. Idk don’t what they’re called
My favorite quote from this video
C) Play tonsil hockey with a 12 gauge
Man revisiting these old stories makes me realize how lame kid me was. I could’ve 100% beat Jeff the Killer.
The Nekoarc part got me XD
It will always amaze me that one of the greatest gaming creepypastas ever came from HuniePop, a fucking puzzle porn game
nah, bro Godzilla NES litterally ends in a fight with john madden (I'm not even kidding)
23:02 wait…..that’s from Sonic Advance 1….
Man, that’s one rusty disk!
I feel like you don't like notch.
I'm definitely naming my video game store uncle Dumbo's game shack
Aww, I actually remember the Godzilla one being of much higher quality than 99% of the others
I once saw this Persona 3 creepypasta where Igor actually talks to the player. Not the protagonist but you. I didn’t finish it because it was so late and I’ve died in 1995 and possessed my phone but I didn’t think anything was wrong with that. It was probably the closest thing to a Persona fan’s dream.
when I first heard about how the grim reaper comes after you if you spend too long on a level I thought it was just a story until I tried it. it still freaks me tf out
I actually liked NES Godzilla until the girlfriend plot was introduced. It got even worse when Red revealed himself as the truck driver that killed her.
Babe wake up, new Bumbles Mcfumbles video
