Hey man, just want to say merry Christmas and thanks for all the amazing videos. Loved the north Wilkes borough vid, and honestly you and a UA-camr who goes by “EmpLemon” renewed my love for nascar. I’m 18 atm, but I remember back when I was only a few years old and would watch races at Bristol with my dad. Fell out of it though when Jeff Gordon retired and jimmy stopped trying, but seeing the past and especially the 2003 Dealers race reminded me of how fun nascar can be. So whether or not you ever see this, merry Christmas dude, and never forget the amount of impact you have left on the world, because it matters a lot and I’m only 1 person ❤️

For the love of God I beg you watch the please stop talking episode "To boldly pee" it talks about this incident and how Doug was hexing people with his shoulders, among other things. Noodle is there, it's great
A friend of mine drank enough Dew to get one, it took them months to ship. He started hassling Mt. Dew about it, and they eventually sent him a regular black Xbox. The next week, his green one arrived.
I just detailed that in my comment then I see this, totally agree I love these videos because it’s a better Quantity over Quality because it still contains so much quality.
Fun Fact: Caboose and Donut, although known as the names of Red vs Blue characters, were default names in Combat Evolved's multiplayer. While its possible the profile was named after the RVB character; it's equally likely a callback to Halo CE. Noodle was also a default name in CE.
I entirely forgot about the pre-existing names on CE until reading this and it's giving me a wave of nostalgia over something so small. I remember playing split screen and joking with friends as we flipped through the names. I can't even check what names there were cus that box is long gone.
The fact that you bought it on a drunken whim because it was lime green when there are people who go out of their way to track these down is probably my favorite part of this whole story. "Oh that looks neat. Yoink." "Dude, you just got something that's worth over 2 grand." "....well I got it cause it looked neat, I didn't know that. See how green it is? That's what's neat about it."
It's not worth over 2 grand, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. I can ask $2k for peanuts that doesn't mean squat unless there is a buyer willing to pay that.

This will probably get lost in the comments, but back in the day, they were running another special like this for the XBOX 1, except it was many more points needed but you then get it for free. I was working in a grocery store at the time, and a coworker/friend found that he could see the cap code on certain MTN DEW bottles if he tilted it just right. So he methodically went through all MTN DEW bottles that we had in back-stock, wrote them down by hand, then submitted them online and won a free Xbox 1.
Re: acquiring Mt. Dew points - it wasn't 1 point / 2 litre, it was all bottles had caps with codes you input for points on a website. So if you work at a venue that sells bottled Mt. Dew - like an arena or stadium - clean up after the event - bag all the bottle caps - redeem codes for however many points apiece. Knew a guy who got a jet ski like that, heard about another who had enough to get the harrier jet they advertised like that.
The harrier jet was never actually given out, they put it in commercials as a joke and were then shocked when a dude called them with enough points to actually get one.
My friend got one back when he was in High School, His parents would not allow him to purchase an Xbox, even with his own money. So he spent his time between classes gathering the caps off of Mt. Dew Bottles in all the schools recycling bin (they had them in every classroom) Got enough points and ordered it. He had to hide the xbox from his parents for awhile, and then convince them that he really did NOT spend any money on it, and won it in a contest. Anyways, I doubt he paid more than $100 in Mt Dew for it.
7:03 Lol I used to have a church for boy scouts that had an Xbox that served the same purpose, funnily enough it was the Halo 2 special edition that also had the Bible game in the saves
You know. If it were me, I'd just go to a bottle redemption center, and since most people just ignore points and stuff. You'd probably very quickly be able to gather thousands of points which were otherwise disposed of. Back in the 90s. There was this "under the cap" game, Gatorade i think it was. And under the cap it would say you won a portable CD player or a mountain bike or whatever prizes. My friend at this time was working at the gas station/ convenience store. While he was stocking the fridge he noticed that with certain flavors, such as lemon lime, or the lighter color liquid. You could easily look inside to see if it was a winner or not. I remember hanging out at his place and he had all this stuff piling up that he "won". Well I'd say he won.
"I remember being little and seeing the OG Xbox in a demo booth with stranger's wrath playing on it, holding the infamous DUKE in my tiny kid hands was unforgettable, it felt like a space station controller and since the console was full of green imagery I thought aliens made it, I think I played in that booth for like 2 hours before they ripped me away from it by force, now it feels so weird to play on series X with a controller so little. " - The green Teletubby
I'm interested to hear more about this Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
One of my friends had volunteered to clean out a nearby restaurant that had kept one of their rooms blocked off for years. As he was cleaning it out he came across a PS3. He told the owner about it and how they could sell it but the owner instead gave it to him. I was helping him set it up and we found old profiles on it. As we snooped through the accounts we found out it was used by dad and his kid. There were messages sent from the dad like "hey buddy, it's bedtime" and stuff like that. It was very cute.
Your regular animations are really good but your cardboard animations are next level. It makes you unique and different from the crowd. And according to you, it takes less time to make than a normal animation so I see no faults with this animation
People looking through old memory cards and consoles from the early to mid 2000's are the best. It always feels like there's story to the games played and the people who owned them (such as shown in the video). An awesome guilty pleasure of mine
I love stuff like this too, but the only other video I've seen was an old Game Informer video where they looked through an old ps2 memory card. Could you recommend any other similar videos or content?
I recently booted one my older sister passed down to me when she got a 360 and it still plays like new. Credit to whoever made the thing this long lasting.
After seeing "Mo" and "The Bible Game" I KNEW all of the music was going to be Christian stuff, sounds like something my mom would use my console for lmao
How did the church even get the thing? I mean I go to church and stuff but it is confusing how a church would get one Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
Hey Noodle, you should umm, well there’s no easy way to say this. The original Xbox is very prone to a few capacitors exploding and killing the console. You should probably get that fixed, if you want a functional rare Xbox.
"It must have spent time with the Youth Group, right?" VERY likely. At the church I went to growing up, our Youth group had two Xbox's and TV's hooked up to one another, so that when Youth Group was over (kids waiting on parents) or we had like game nights, you could do system play, and the games available were pretty much only Halo: Combat Evolved, and Ghost Recon 2 (Both solid picks). I have very fond memories of playing Halo with my friends at church. Youth Pastor loved those two games, too, and would play with us sometimes.
Mountain Dew and Xbox are pretty synonymous with each other, so I don't think it's weird at all to combine the two. I mean, it's not like a Marlboro-branded Atari Lynx, right? Imagine if something like that existed.
They are both green Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.

As someone who ate the mtn dew Doritos they're unfortunately not great. They have a vague sweet lime-ish taste that's nothing like mtn dew (did smell like it though) while having a slight cheese taste of classic dorito flavour. If you had a dip to go with it they weren't bad though!! Weird aftertaste too, like Sprite syrup
My church youth group had an Xbox on a wheeled cart that lived in a storage closet, which is also where I spent a majority of the time on Wednesday and Sunday nights playing Halo CE. It also played DVDs, which was it's primary purpose. I would bring a copy of games in to play and then take them home with me, I never owned an original Xbox. Thanks for the video, noodle. Brings me back to being 13 years old again.
Back in the day I when this lime green console was announced as a prize for Mt Dew points I wanted one BAD. I actually got a job at a local race track cleaning bleachers after races so that I could collect bottle caps to earn points. I think it took me about a month to rack up the point needed and I was stoked to get my green Xbox. You're absolutely right that they sold out almost instantly but the website where you "bought it" never said as much. in the fine print once the green Xbox stock had depleted you would simply be sent a normal Xbox instead.... so all that work and all I ended up with was another normal Xbox console.
This guy should get in touch with all the previous owners of this thing and they all have a big union and talk about their experiences with the Mountain Dew Xbox.
I got mine from the promotion. They had two or 3 batches go up on the site. First batch was gone immediately, I diddnt think I'd get one. I was able to get one off the second batch though.
If I remember correctly, the Mountain Few point system was based on how many containers were in the pack you bought. So a 2-Liter was worth 1 point, a six pack was worth 6, a twelve pack 12, etc.
dont put yourself down for this style of video, its entertaining and you do a lot of creative stuff with physical props. what a magical find though, early 2000's media was just a wild time to be alive.
One of these babies appeared at my local game store a few months back. The price on it was $500. I didn’t have that kind of money. God damn, I wish I did, though. It’s gone now, but it will forever be in my heart.
I found on one ebay about 6 years ago listed for $250. I said what they hey and offered the seller $150 and they accepted it. Lucky buy but I guess that was before the retro gaming spike
Yeh, that one hit the feels a little. :< I feel like Caboose as a character can (and should) surpass Joel the person, tho. Be disappointed in the actor, not the character.
@@weewoahhh I *disagree* with his beliefs. I'm *disappointed* in the toxic behavior he was showing towards his coworkers towards the end for which he was *actually* fired for.
Yeah that made me really sad too; I always found the character rather wholesome and heartwarming, and learning that heyman was fired for being a jerk to his coworkers was depressing. It effectively killed the series. RvB Zero was a major flop, and ever since it’s just been kinda dead. Sad to see in a new wave of halo enthusiasm in the wake of halo infinite. Maybe someone new will fill the gap, I dunno. There’s plenty of good halo machinima makers out there. Maybe following infinite’s back to basics approach would be just what it needs.
@@SladeDoobiedog knowing Current Roosterteeth, it's more likely the OPPOSITE. Where his coworkers were toxic to him because of his beliefs, and claimed he was being mean just for having those beliefs, and not for actually doing anything. I mean the fact that this only happened recently after they hired a bunch of new people, and not the 15 years before that he had worked there, seems to also imply this. Just look at Jack from AH for example, he's VERY political (an opposing political belief to Heyman too) and is pretty fanatical about his beliefs to the point of being rude about it from time to time. But even so he was good friends with Heyman, so much so that he had him come to his wedding (his best man if i remember correctly?). Showing that Joel was more than capable of getting along with others, even those with opposing beliefs. But nowadays, despite RT always being very left leaning, and open about that, the new people are so fanatical and toxic that even Jack can't handle them. He actually stormed off mid-video because a new employee was being so toxic. And these toxic people are the ones to claim Joel was being rude. Seems fishy. I think Joel is just a guy with weird beliefs, but because he isn't going to change his beliefs, people attacked him for it and claimed he was the offender so they could get rid of him because they didn't want someone with different opinions around. It's incredibly common that this sorta thing happens.
If the Mt Dew points were anything like Pepsi points. Then you only needed a certain percentage of points then the rest could be covered with cash. Similarly to how that law student tried to get a military jet from Pepsi points.
@@CigaretteCrayon the Pepsi points commercial had a kid show up in a Harrier. So he looked up thw rules and tried the game the system then tried to sue when Pepsi didn't fall for it. There's videos on this.
It’s probably one of the funniest just sheer reactions to something in a while, even if it was for the gag and not you real out-loud reaction, just “why green?!?” 0:32
Let's all appreciate that Noodle just got a stupidly expensive Xbox console for a steal, explored its hard drive and history, made a video about it, and got it sponsored by a sex toy company despite the possibility that half of these viewers are kids. You're a fucking legend.
I bought an original XBox on ebay and the whole thing was jam packed with linkin park and other rock bands a highschooler would have listened to back then. It was a true blast from the past
_"Xbox is not lime green. It is black. Why green?"_ _"That's a limited Mountain Dew Xbox."_ *KFConsole:* Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!
Here's a fun fact - while it's not _lime_ green, it's not exactly black either. The OG Xbox and its controllers are a very dark shade of green, only really visible in certain lighting conditions.
Channels that divide their videos into chapters and add a chapter for advertisements automatically gains my subscription. Makes the viewing experience 100x better and a 1000x better when you get to skip the ads.
That music downloads feature was so cool back then, especially for kids with little real experience of having their own computer. It's also the most obvious sign of "I'm turning 30" to say that the first memory that came to mind was playing Amped Snowboarding while listening to the Chocolate Starfish CD by Limp Bizkit. Keep on Rollin' bebe.
That left me stunned. It started off as something that made me chuckle and say "That's kind of interesting". But that absolute and total fucking curveball of what lay in that system's hard drive completely floored me. I do not know why, because it really wasn't that insane, but out of all the things I expected to be saved on those soundtracks, it was not that.
the music at the end was great. This is the first video and the first time being exposed to this channel. Who on earth would have thought little painted cut outs taped to a popsicle stick would be so entertaining? Well the story telling goes a LONG way also! great channel and I subbed.
going through the storage of an old console is always my favorite part. i got one xbox with a crap ton of classic anime ost whoever owned it was an og classic weeb, one had puerto rican dance music, and the last one had a save file of a beta version of half life which was kinda cool
"Brendon, check your mail, it's not a bomb" I dunno how to tell you Noodle, but early Xbox, the Mountain Dew is likely to be one, suffer from the clock capacitor randomly EXPLODING after some use, rendering the console unusable.
I love stuff like this. A few years back, I bought an Xbox from a yard sale. On the way home, I noticed some smuged writing on the controller. It looked like a gamertag my buddy used to use. I suddenly realized what I had, ran home, and plugged it in. Sure enough, it was my buddies xbox that was stolen over 12 YEARS AGO. It even still had all our gamertags/profiles. Some of my favorite things in my collection have almost no monetary value, but are still dope to me. I have an Xbox game that has stamps from a college library, then it ended up at a military base(still has borrow/return punch card) and then I bought it at a yard sale. Another was a gift from someone's grandma, and they possibly never looked behind the manual, because there was a nice note and a $10 bill. I left the note and the bill, along with another note I wrote. I may grab it on a rainy day, but i like to think someone else might find it one day. One time i went to a yard sale, the lady told me i was welcome to go inside and look around. She said she had just bought the place and it was full of junk. I went in, there was a room that was, no kidding, a 2 ft pile of literal trash covering the whole floor. I saw in the way back a computer. So i decided yolo, and went searching. Under all the beer cans and other crap, I found an ATARI IN THE BOX. No shit. A full-blown boxed atari. And by the end, I found 8-9 BOXED games. I told her about it all. She seemed more concerned with trying to sell me the computer. I ended up getting it all for like $20. I got a gameboy that I bought from an old lady who had bought it for her grandkids when they first released and they never used it. She said she played it some, but it was like in perfect condition. Still had some games in the plastic sleeves.
I love the concept of exploring old data. There's a story behind it all, and that xbox is a true artifact from a lost time. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
4:52 even if I don't follow competitive Halo at all. I can very much relate to the "oh..." I feel like I say "oh" in that exact same way every day these days.
So, get this right. My local church was also the pre-school, and I know I’m dating myself now, but we had a NES and SNES down in the basement of the church. It was more or less just decoration, but every once in a while we’d sneak into the room and play Super Mario. I have a feeling this xbox lived as one of those “daycare-church consoles” that was bought by the church because… budgets? Or something. It’s wild how much history is on a little Memory cars..
I love these videos because all the the animation and art is custom! Everything painstakingly drawn and moved by hand! I mean video funny and good quality but the fact you stepped away from traditional style to make something new. Mad props man.
Noodle, though you spend less effort on the Cardboard fillers, they are just as good as you still express emotions and somehow make it just as funny. Keep up the good work Noodle.
6:28 "guess" uhhhh linkin park, 50 cent, eminem, green day, good charlotte, and perhaps a cascada album bought as a guilty pleasure let's see how i did
I remember being like three or four years old and seeing commercials about an Xbox mountain dew collab. As soon as I saw it in the thumbnail I got violent nostalgia whiplash 🤣
Oh I’m so sorry Noodle. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable it is to know that your parents watch your videos consistently enough for them to understand you have a working relationship with a sex toy company.
6:44 Holy shit, I know this song by heart! I thought I'd repressed my childhood Bible camp bullshit but you've just brought it all back with a fucking Mountain Dew Xbox of all things. Incredible. (Coincidentally my mother donated my old 360 to the local church youth group against my will some time ago...)
I mean. I don't wanna brag about my insightful detective-ing skills, but the fact that "The Bible Game" was on this console? It was gonna be fulla Christian rock music. Also, that catch in your throat as you peddled sex toys and accessories was clearly a resurfacing of long forgotten Christian guilt brought forth by the discovery of the multitudinous variations of white dudes crooning about Jesus laying hands on your sinful soul and filling your body with his love.
The only reason I had ever heard of either the Lime green Xbox or the Bible game is because I've watched too much scott the woz so to see these two very uncommon things come together was weird as heck.
It's going to be a bomb isn't it?

Back in the 90s. There was this "under the cap" game, Gatorade i think it was. And under the cap it would say you won a portable CD player or a mountain bike or whatever prizes. My friend at this time was working at the gas station/ convenience store. While he was stocking the fridge he noticed that with certain flavors, such as lemon lime, or the lighter color liquid. You could easily look inside to see if it was a winner or not. I remember hanging out at his place and he had all this stuff piling up that he "won".
Well I'd say he won.
"I remember being little and seeing the OG Xbox in a demo booth with stranger's wrath playing on it, holding the infamous DUKE in my tiny kid hands was unforgettable, it felt like a space station controller and since the console was full of green imagery I thought aliens made it, I think I played in that booth for like 2 hours before they ripped me away from it by force, now it feels so weird to play on series X with a controller so little.

One of my friends had volunteered to clean out a nearby restaurant that had kept one of their rooms blocked off for years. As he was cleaning it out he came across a PS3. He told the owner about it and how they could sell it but the owner instead gave it to him. I was helping him set it up and we found old profiles on it. As we snooped through the accounts we found out it was used by dad and his kid. There were messages sent from the dad like "hey buddy, it's bedtime" and stuff like that. It was very cute.
this is why i love taking a look at old consoles. even something as simple as a save file on a game has its own story to tell.
Your regular animations are really good but your cardboard animations are next level. It makes you unique and different from the crowd. And according to you, it takes less time to make than a normal animation so I see no faults with this animation
This is really heartwarming. To realize every object on earth has a history this complicated and has touched and been touched by so many lives
People looking through old memory cards and consoles from the early to mid 2000's are the best. It always feels like there's story to the games played and the people who owned them (such as shown in the video). An awesome guilty pleasure of mine
I love stuff like this too, but the only other video I've seen was an old Game Informer video where they looked through an old ps2 memory card. Could you recommend any other similar videos or content?
Ive only been able to this with my dads ps2.
All the game saves were 100% so nice
Then you feel immeasurable pain when you find out 1 or more of your memory cards got corrupted and must format them to use them again...

"It must have spent time with the Youth Group, right?"
VERY likely. At the church I went to growing up, our Youth group had two Xbox's and TV's hooked up to one another, so that when Youth Group was over (kids waiting on parents) or we had like game nights, you could do system play, and the games available were pretty much only Halo: Combat Evolved, and Ghost Recon 2 (Both solid picks). I have very fond memories of playing Halo with my friends at church. Youth Pastor loved those two games, too, and would play with us sometimes.
This is like a hand animated Christmas special.
Mountain Dew, Xbox, and Halo. This really is a merry Christmas
not to mention the sex toy sponsorship
Mountain Dew and Xbox are pretty synonymous with each other, so I don't think it's weird at all to combine the two. I mean, it's not like a Marlboro-branded Atari Lynx, right? Imagine if something like that existed.

A Mountain Dew Xbox might sound stupid, BUT at the same time Mountain Dew flavoured Doritos existed too
@@bobono its the true food of the gamer empire, you dare question it?
yes, but mountain dew and doritos is a classic combo. mountain dew and xbox just doesn't taste the same.
What the ever loving fuxk why
As someone who ate the mtn dew Doritos they're unfortunately not great. They have a vague sweet lime-ish taste that's nothing like mtn dew (did smell like it though) while having a slight cheese taste of classic dorito flavour. If you had a dip to go with it they weren't bad though!! Weird aftertaste too, like Sprite syrup
My church youth group had an Xbox on a wheeled cart that lived in a storage closet, which is also where I spent a majority of the time on Wednesday and Sunday nights playing Halo CE.
It also played DVDs, which was it's primary purpose. I would bring a copy of games in to play and then take them home with me, I never owned an original Xbox.
Thanks for the video, noodle. Brings me back to being 13 years old again.
Back in the day I when this lime green console was announced as a prize for Mt Dew points I wanted one BAD. I actually got a job at a local race track cleaning bleachers after races so that I could collect bottle caps to earn points. I think it took me about a month to rack up the point needed and I was stoked to get my green Xbox.
You're absolutely right that they sold out almost instantly but the website where you "bought it" never said as much. in the fine print once the green Xbox stock had depleted you would simply be sent a normal Xbox instead.... so all that work and all I ended up with was another normal Xbox console.
my father is a delivery driver, he saved up Pepsi bottle caps and got enough to win the Mountain Dew edition original Xbox way back then
The level of hysterics this man's voice reaches when explaining the console are aspirational.
This guy should get in touch with all the previous owners of this thing and they all have a big union and talk about their experiences with the Mountain Dew Xbox.
I got mine from the promotion. They had two or 3 batches go up on the site. First batch was gone immediately, I diddnt think I'd get one. I was able to get one off the second batch though.
@@Jeremy-ls2zc do you still have it?
@@Jeremy-ls2zc Do you still have it?
If I remember correctly, the Mountain Few point system was based on how many containers were in the pack you bought. So a 2-Liter was worth 1 point, a six pack was worth 6, a twelve pack 12, etc.
So you needed 75 Mountain Dew 12 packs.
Is noodle not screaming and arguing?
This is truly a Christmas Miracle.
6:44 With just one “YEAAAH” my entire childhood came flooding through my brain.
dont put yourself down for this style of video, its entertaining and you do a lot of creative stuff with physical props. what a magical find though, early 2000's media was just a wild time to be alive.
This is amazing. I have never seen someone irl go through data and learn the history of a machine. What a time to be alive.
One of these babies appeared at my local game store a few months back. The price on it was $500. I didn’t have that kind of money. God damn, I wish I did, though. It’s gone now, but it will forever be in my heart.
I found on one ebay about 6 years ago listed for $250. I said what they hey and offered the seller $150 and they accepted it. Lucky buy but I guess that was before the retro gaming spike
4:50 that sad “oh” after saying caboose hit a bit at home tbh lads/lasses. I should probably go back to finish watching his show
Yeh, that one hit the feels a little. :< I feel like Caboose as a character can (and should) surpass Joel the person, tho. Be disappointed in the actor, not the character.
@@weewoahhh I *disagree* with his beliefs. I'm *disappointed* in the toxic behavior he was showing towards his coworkers towards the end for which he was *actually* fired for.
Yeah that made me really sad too; I always found the character rather wholesome and heartwarming, and learning that heyman was fired for being a jerk to his coworkers was depressing. It effectively killed the series. RvB Zero was a major flop, and ever since it’s just been kinda dead. Sad to see in a new wave of halo enthusiasm in the wake of halo infinite. Maybe someone new will fill the gap, I dunno. There’s plenty of good halo machinima makers out there. Maybe following infinite’s back to basics approach would be just what it needs.
@@SladeDoobiedog knowing Current Roosterteeth, it's more likely the OPPOSITE. Where his coworkers were toxic to him because of his beliefs, and claimed he was being mean just for having those beliefs, and not for actually doing anything. I mean the fact that this only happened recently after they hired a bunch of new people, and not the 15 years before that he had worked there, seems to also imply this.
Just look at Jack from AH for example, he's VERY political (an opposing political belief to Heyman too) and is pretty fanatical about his beliefs to the point of being rude about it from time to time. But even so he was good friends with Heyman, so much so that he had him come to his wedding (his best man if i remember correctly?). Showing that Joel was more than capable of getting along with others, even those with opposing beliefs.
But nowadays, despite RT always being very left leaning, and open about that, the new people are so fanatical and toxic that even Jack can't handle them. He actually stormed off mid-video because a new employee was being so toxic. And these toxic people are the ones to claim Joel was being rude. Seems fishy.
I think Joel is just a guy with weird beliefs, but because he isn't going to change his beliefs, people attacked him for it and claimed he was the offender so they could get rid of him because they didn't want someone with different opinions around. It's incredibly common that this sorta thing happens.
@@valettashepard909 maybe someone will make the hlvrai for halo. That's what I'm hoping :)
If the Mt Dew points were anything like Pepsi points. Then you only needed a certain percentage of points then the rest could be covered with cash. Similarly to how that law student tried to get a military jet from Pepsi points.
A what???
@@CigaretteCrayon the Pepsi points commercial had a kid show up in a Harrier. So he looked up thw rules and tried the game the system then tried to sue when Pepsi didn't fall for it. There's videos on this.

I bought an original XBox on ebay and the whole thing was jam packed with linkin park and other rock bands a highschooler would have listened to back then. It was a true blast from the past
The original Xbox has a ton of features many folks have never heard about
_"Xbox is not lime green. It is black. Why green?"_
_"That's a limited Mountain Dew Xbox."_
*KFConsole:* Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!
What happened to the KFC console anyway?
Here's a fun fact - while it's not _lime_ green, it's not exactly black either. The OG Xbox and its controllers are a very dark shade of green, only really visible in certain lighting conditions.

Julian mentioning the Doug Walker piss incident after that story being in my favorite episode of PST made me so so happy.
Always great to run across old gamertags still going. Seeing people retain their love for a hobby over 20 years just feels nice.
That music downloads feature was so cool back then, especially for kids with little real experience of having their own computer.
It's also the most obvious sign of "I'm turning 30" to say that the first memory that came to mind was playing Amped Snowboarding while listening to the Chocolate Starfish CD by Limp Bizkit. Keep on Rollin' bebe.
Haha! I remember this xbox, i didn't actually bought it but i heard that it's rare, good to see you review this.
That left me stunned. It started off as something that made me chuckle and say "That's kind of interesting". But that absolute and total fucking curveball of what lay in that system's hard drive completely floored me. I do not know why, because it really wasn't that insane, but out of all the things I expected to be saved on those soundtracks, it was not that.
“Doug walker pissing on the floor” is definitely not a phrase I expected to hear in this vid, but I’m curious to know how the heck that happened.
Check the please stop talking podcast with Noodle. They talk about it, pretty hilarious and cringe.
It's too soon to give that thing away, you're sitting on a gold mine of unchecked early 2000's *gamer* nostalgia
the music at the end was great. This is the first video and the first time being exposed to this channel. Who on earth would have thought little painted cut outs taped to a popsicle stick would be so entertaining? Well the story telling goes a LONG way also! great channel and I subbed.
going through the storage of an old console is always my favorite part. i got one xbox with a crap ton of classic anime ost whoever owned it was an og classic weeb, one had puerto rican dance music, and the last one had a save file of a beta version of half life which was kinda cool
At the start when it says "i will animate" honestly i really like this style more
"Brendon, check your mail, it's not a bomb"
I dunno how to tell you Noodle, but early Xbox, the Mountain Dew is likely to be one, suffer from the clock capacitor randomly EXPLODING after some use, rendering the console unusable.
"i'm gonna put a big funny bullet in my head" is one of my favorite punchlines that i've ever heard and it's from a fucking ad, still love this video
I love stuff like this. A few years back, I bought an Xbox from a yard sale. On the way home, I noticed some smuged writing on the controller. It looked like a gamertag my buddy used to use. I suddenly realized what I had, ran home, and plugged it in. Sure enough, it was my buddies xbox that was stolen over 12 YEARS AGO. It even still had all our gamertags/profiles.
Some of my favorite things in my collection have almost no monetary value, but are still dope to me. I have an Xbox game that has stamps from a college library, then it ended up at a military base(still has borrow/return punch card) and then I bought it at a yard sale. Another was a gift from someone's grandma, and they possibly never looked behind the manual, because there was a nice note and a $10 bill. I left the note and the bill, along with another note I wrote. I may grab it on a rainy day, but i like to think someone else might find it one day.
One time i went to a yard sale, the lady told me i was welcome to go inside and look around. She said she had just bought the place and it was full of junk. I went in, there was a room that was, no kidding, a 2 ft pile of literal trash covering the whole floor. I saw in the way back a computer. So i decided yolo, and went searching. Under all the beer cans and other crap, I found an ATARI IN THE BOX. No shit. A full-blown boxed atari. And by the end, I found 8-9 BOXED games. I told her about it all. She seemed more concerned with trying to sell me the computer. I ended up getting it all for like $20.
I got a gameboy that I bought from an old lady who had bought it for her grandkids when they first released and they never used it. She said she played it some, but it was like in perfect condition. Still had some games in the plastic sleeves.
Bro literally bought an xbox stolen from their friend at none other than a YARD SALE.
The near unlimited memory storage of the original Xbox makes it so interesting to look back into...

So, get this right. My local church was also the pre-school, and I know I’m dating myself now, but we had a NES and SNES down in the basement of the church. It was more or less just decoration, but every once in a while we’d sneak into the room and play Super Mario. I have a feeling this xbox lived as one of those “daycare-church consoles” that was bought by the church because… budgets? Or something.

Also, that catch in your throat as you peddled sex toys and accessories was clearly a resurfacing of long forgotten Christian guilt brought forth by the discovery of the multitudinous variations of white dudes crooning about Jesus laying hands on your sinful soul and filling your body with his love.
The only reason I had ever heard of either the Lime green Xbox or the Bible game is because I've watched too much scott the woz so to see these two very uncommon things come together was weird as heck.
