3DO ZONE Forums

I've been using Youtube for about a year now and I've come to conclusion it's plain weird.

Like for example:

My Deep Blue Fleet video has been watched over 6000 times in the past 12 months, which is kind of impressive unless you compare it to my Ultraman video which has been watched 6,000 times in the past 2 months. Where the hell is Ultraman popular and who the hell has heard of Deep Blue Fleet? Anyone? Apparently so...

It's nothing to do with search engines either. I mean my F1GP video has a less impressive 1,000 hits in 12 months while my "Top 50 3DO games #30 to #21" achieved a hit of almost 6,000 in 8 months.

Kamachi Museum, which I guessed incorrectly, would be popular amongst Japanese YouTube users has only managed 151 hits in 2 months. (Which defies the high price the disk still commands in Japan) especially since the video shows you everything the game has to offer.


There there are the people who post stuff on YouTube:

Let me put this into context first. The blog attracts the broadest selection of 3DO fans and I get mix of people. From my good buddies here, to people who actually worked on the games, to complete and utter nutters, spam artists and lest we forget: good old 'Preecha'. (Who seems to be back in his box of late)

Next the forum: This forum seems to be mostly made of collectors. The very salt of the earth in this forum to be honest. You guys have made this this, albeit quiet, the best 3DO forum on the web. (Thanks btw )

YouTube? Aside from the odd post from you guys, and there are a lot of nice posts from the general public, there are a lot of rude people. Whose stuff I delete. These people have dysfunctional keyboards. What's the point of searching the web for something you are not interested in and then posting something like: "WA*K TUR*S F**KERS"?

I've been there. When IRC kicked off, and MS CHat rooms and lets not forget MUDS, I've been drunk pretending to be a Lesbian but... That was kind of fun and while I was deceitful, I wasn't rude...

Maybe I'm just old.

heh for me over 1 yr on youtube and the dragon lore video has only mustered up 1114 for part 1 and 671 for part 2

10 months luciennes quest 2 parts total 505
9 months 3do demo cd 3parts total 573

and a total of 11 replies for all none deleted

the people who are rude online are usually the ones who are rude to everyone they know, ive had my obnoxious phazes posting but nothing like you see on your blog .. lol
the only time ive played a girl online is when i made a female character in Everquest and i named her Imalitlehore that lasted 4 days untill one of the GM's found me and changed my name to some random one

The internet is full of bored people and asses, hence people watching Deep Blue Fleet (yes I have it) and the others being rude for no reason at all. The internet was better when only a small amount of people had computers. Now it's full of tards who bought a Gateway or Dell and have AOL.

Back in the day, 1994 that is, AOL users started get arsey because there was a sort of wide spread joke that AOL users were dumb. We used to mock them for using l33t-speak, text-speak as it's now called, and their incessant use of the phrase: "Me toooo!". This was when AOL wasn't actually Internet, more a totally separate network that happened to connect to the Internet, much like Compuserve and Microsofts pre-Internet days. Although Compuserve was some sort of haven for super-geeks.

YouTube is filled with a bunch of people who are pathetic losers in real life and decide to act all big and tough on the internet to try to earn some man-points. They speak of everything controversial and stupid, including supporting Kim Jong-il, because it brings them much needed attention.

In the end, they fail miserably.

It's best not to mind them.

well put
