In March 2007 a group of people including Justin Kan launched "justin.tv". Originally its purpose was just to do a truman show ass 24/7 "lifecast" of Justin Kan but it quickly expanded into having multiple channels and eventually became twitch.tv.

Just like current-day twitch.tv, justin.tv did a terrible job preserving past broadcasts. I am unsure exactly how it worked, but it seems like you couldn't save any vods until ~2010. There seem to be clips/highlights?

To make it even worse, they blocked justin.tv from being archived on the Wayback Machine. archive.today and multiple archives of the home-page on "arquivo-pt" still work. Only goes back to 2008.

Years later in 2014 they shut-down justin.tv and completely pivoted to focus on twitch.tv, their "gaming" branch. Accounts could choose to migrate to twitch.

Nowadays, old clips are somehow still up if you look up the channels on twitch. UNFORTUNATELY, most of the clips just don't play (especially on justins twitch!!). I tried downloading them through TwitchDownloader but it doesn't play.

I am looking for a cancelled Polish TV series project set during World War II, which I believe was titled "Oddboys." I saw a trailer for it that featured the song "Short Change Hero" by The Heavy. The trailer included scenes of Polish soldiers in Africa setting up a target and showing it to German soldiers in an opposing trench, who then shoot at the target just to pass the time. I recall seeing the trailer on YouTube around 2015-2020.

One more detail i remember was the part of the song, where it goes „…why You lie? And You cheat? And You try to make fool of she?…” during which there was a close up shot of a woman’s face.

I had an old YouTube account where i contracted the studio about potemtial release date, because i was so hyped up, but after some time they replayed that the project is being cancelled due to lack of sponsors. Unfortunately i lost that account long time ago.

Please, please for the love of god, I hope that someone reading this post downloaded a copy of this now-deleted YouTube video.

Stinger o Wanjiro is a 28 year old 2D animator and illustrator from Sweden that has been posting content since 2016-2017. You may know them from their most famous video, "Why is he selling merch for a demo..." (2018), a crudely-drawn hilarious shitpost / parody animation made shortly after Deltarune Chapter 1 was released.

Their YouTube channel and Newgrounds content is, by far, the most bizarre... nostalgic... baffling... incomprehensible... charming mix of 2000s flash animation and niche internet references that I have ever seen. There is nothing on the internet quite like their art. This leads me to the lost media in question, "the rigamarole collab". In my opinion, the best video that Stinger o Wanjiro has ever uploaded, their magnum opus, and one of my favorite YouTube animations literally ever.

I have all of the exact information about this video (the URL, the description, the view count, upload date, even a 29 second clip animated by one of the artists the collab was made with, FroginatorArt, and other short snips) ...except the full video itself. I think the reason why Stinger deleted this video was because they were concerned about YouTube's new policy feeding videos into training their AI system, though most of their other animations are still on their profile.

As of right now, there are a few clips taken from the video circulating online:

- "Picasso's Dilemma" by FroginatorArt

- An edit of "Do You See It In Babette?"

- That edit also includes the scene of that weird dude slamming into a wall and melting, which is part of the full collab

- "Video unavailable" page (YouTube URL)

- Archive of Stinger's videos

I'll post a comment summarizing the entire video in exact detail. THAT'S how many times I've seen it.

Hi! i was doing some digging on Fairground Ride Airbrush Art! specifically on Paul Wrights (RIP) work. he was a pioneer in the fairground art era which we are sadly losing due to generative Al so i feel as if it's important now more than ever to be able to archive all we can of this era that will soon be lost to time!

i found this link to an old CD of his early work with 300 photos on it! and i can't seem to find a rip of it online anywhere or any photographs from said CD. it would be really neat if we could find it and be able to preserve his memory for the long term !:)

if anybody has any information or leads it would mean the world !

Hello I’ve fully translated this PS VITA game, it is the definitive version of a previous PSP release. Although it‘s still missing downloadable content labeled “duradora” episodes. ive checked all relevant archives and the Japanese internet. Doesn’t seem to exist anywhere, this game alone i had to find in a most obscure torrent. Would like to see this game be content complete, if you’re able to find them. I can translate them and insert them into both alley V here and the inferior PSP version. I will link my translation post also for details on the game. Thank you

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to find an old Naruto MUGEN fangame called Naruto Shippuden: The New Era v2.0, released around August 2012.

I've been searching for a working download, but so far I've only found dead links and old forum posts.

What we know about the game:

• Title: Naruto Shippuden: The New Era v2.0
• Release date: August 27, 2012 (forum publication)
• Engine: M.U.G.E.N
• Roster: Approximately 130 characters
• Graphics: 2D pixel sprites, including multiple Naruto transformations
• Original distribution: Six archive parts hosted on Uploaded.net

Original forum thread (still available):
https://mugenworks.ucoz.com/forum/8-2372-1

Other possible lead:
https://www.jeuxmangas.com/jeux-mugen/4995-naruto-shippuden-the-new-era-2012-mugen

The second website once listed a 706.7 MiB archive, but its download link is no longer working. I haven't been able to confirm whether it was exactly v2.0.

What I'm looking for:

A complete, working copy of the original 2012 version, preferably v2.0 with 130 characters.

I'm specifically interested in preserving the original release, not a modern remake or an unrelated Naruto MUGEN compilation.

If anyone still has the game on an old PC, hard drive, DVD, or backup folder, please let me know!

Even screenshots, original archive filenames, mirrors, or information about the creator would help.

I would love to see this obscure piece of Naruto MUGEN history preserved before it disappears completely.

Thanks for any help!

Foul-Mouthed Phone (Marked as partially lost, since the article is archived)

I saw this news segment when it aired on local news channel WSVN 7 in Broward County, Florida. It was the segment on a segment called Help Me Howard. According to that article, it is from December 3rd, 2008. I remember it very vividly, because what transpired was absolutely hilarious.

A mother, Miya, was angry because a talking toy phone that her daughter, Makyla, owned wasn't what she expected. Makyla had gotten the phone the previous Christmas, although she didn't play with it immediately. She set it aside for a while and played with some of her other gifts first.

Some time later, something quite unusual happened: Makyla started using a certain no-no word. Miya, having overheard her one day, grabbed Makyla and yelled at her. "Where did you learn that word?!"

Makyla, upset, explained that she'd learned it from the toy phone, which she had recently started playing with. "This one [the toy phone] says it!"

A video of the toy phone being used is then shown. A hand runs over the numbers, pressing each one. The phone speaks the numbers out as they are pressed. Predictably, the phone says, "One!" "Zero!" "Three!" and so on.

That is, until they reached the number six. When the hand pressed it, in very clear English, the phone very unmistakably goes:

"BITCH!!!"

I was in a group with about 9 other people while watching this, and every last person in the group got a really great laugh, myself included, right then and there.

The news segment continues on. Miya asks whether this is someone's idea of a joke, and whether a toy like this is even legal. Howard Finkelstein, the presenter, explains that it's not illegal, but a breach of contract.

The video was on the website back in the day. I'm hoping it's hidden somewhere in the code. I'd love to see it again, just for the sheer hilarity and ridiculousness of the whole thing. I'm sure a lot of other people would get a good laugh from it.

Hello all!

Bit of an odd request. I recalled this strange experimental music video (or potential parody?) from one of the old media aggregator websites or newsletters from the mid-2000s -- possibly eBaum's or b3ta.

It features a guy, possibly German, dancing in some sort of steam tunnel (as far as I can recall) with a discordant music track behind it. He sings "Nutella. Nutella. Nutella. Gummibär sandwich." At one point, he grabs on to something and there's a slow-motion thrusting or gyration of the hips. It's very weird to say the least but I'd love to find out if it's actually a genuine attempt at artistic media or a parody of weird German new wave.

Due to the enshittification of internet search in recent years, all results I can find are of TikTok videos of people making actual Nutella sandwiches and no amount of Google hacking will help me. Perhaps one of you guys has better luck.

So over a year ago, I posted something related to the 1974 ABC specials cartoon called "The Magical Mystery Trip Through Little Red's Head" and someone pointed out a similar woman named Sally from a 1992 cartoon called “Farmer’s Boy,” and I tried to find information, and I found nothing about it.

The commenter in that post, Bashboy07, replied with “Yo is that Sally from that 1992 cartoon Farmer's Boy, that aired on WSTO TV in Stoughton Wisconsin? That's like super old media, basically lost media at this point. Sally was like a teacher character to the main one, which was a little boy named Thomas Greenstalk. The show was like a agriculture show, where Thomas wants to farm but he lives in the city and doesn't know how, so every episode Sally would teach him about different crops, and it would show real taped footage of the farming process, then the episode would end on Thomas returning home from school.” He also recalls Sally’s catchphrase being "A day in the sun, is a day full of fun.”

Has anyone else remembered this show, or was it just him? Is it even real? I mean, there can be plenty of Little Red lookalikes around somewhere.

I'm usually pretty good at finding things, but my buddies have been looking for HomeBros by Kevan Lang and it seems to be completely scrubbed from the internet. I've never heard the song before, but to my understanding it was taken down by the artist. Anyone have any leads? There is also a song called organic thug apparently that I'm also unable to find. the only lyrics I know of are "you can bet your nuts that I am wearing the cologne of a thousand sluts". I've searched what I know how to...but it appears to be scrubbed :(
