This was supposed to go up at 2PM but I’m at work really annoyed and want some nice comments to read so I’m publishing it now. 🥯🥒🧀🍒🍠🍅🧄🍆 A new episode of the PATREON CHECK-IN is available to patrons. I play Mario Galaxy. Consider joining- www.patreon.com/any_austin
i love your channel and your sense of humor. If it helps at all I'm going through some bad things in life right now, and this stuff really makes me feel better, no exageration. You deserve a break. Sorry about your job, i get it. Keep inspiring.
reason why i love watching these videos is because you go off and talk about some hidden meaning like how “the moon is judgemental”. it’s just interesting how something so normal can be taken for something completely else.
these videos always give me the urge to slow down and take some time to appreciate the odd and unremarkable places in my own life. truly a meditative experience
one advantage life has over video games is that if you can see an unremarkable place, you can go there, and enjoy the region’s perfect collision detection (usually)
I always thought that the courtyard in Twisted Mansion after you come out of the sewer was pretty neat. You usually just fly over it and enter this singular building at the end that spirals you back to the start of the level. If you go to the area with the hammer slamming down at the end of the track you can actually look down into the courtyard over the fence.
Ever since I found your clock town unemployment video you've quickly started to become one of my favourite creators. Noone else I've watched has made content like this it's just so unique yet fully encompasses what I'm thinking about whenever I replay a game for the 50th time
Thought I’d throw a comment in. I’ve been binging all your more recent content the last few days. I really appreciate how cozy it feels. Your chill music and peaceful vibes are great for heading to bed in a good mood. I’m glad you were shown in my algorithm I’ll be sure to stick around
the classic f-zero games always make me feel weird. Lore wise you're supposed to race on tracks that are miles above the ground and the seemingly random pattern below you are actually supposed to be endless cities. It took me 24 years to find that out and I can't look at the textures now without feeling weirdly empty and satisfied at the same time. kinda hard to explain. Would love to see an episode on the classic f-zero
I’m not the biggest Mario Kart fan, but I never would have guessed that electro dome (I’m not checking if that is the correct name) was outside. Just because I haven’t played Mario kart much recently, doesn’t mean I don’t have very clear ideas about each track. But yes, I like this and would very much appreciate more like this!
As a kid, I was forced to go skiing every year and I hated it. It was terrifying. At 5:16, when you drove off the course down the side of the snowy hill overlooking the mountains, I nearly had a panic attack. It gave me the exact feeling of nearly going off the designated sections of the ski slopes. Those places where if you lose control even a little bit you go off the edge of a cliff and probably die. Those places were always covered in the most fluffy, perfect, untouched snow.
I’d love to see an ‘odd and unremarkable places’ video for Breath of the Wild. I realise that it would be like shooting fish in a barrel for that game, but there are some really strange-feeling places in hyrule.
I think just staring at the audience in Mario kart is just enough to give you a weird feeling. The hop back and forth in an endless cycle with without blinking and indifferent to you. Takes you out of the world and makes you realize your playing a game.
If you're doing modern games check out left 4 dead 2. It's absolutely full of places that make sense only when you're flying past them at full speed. The dark carnival campaign in particular. Great video man.
3:48 that reminds me of the background in Melee's Hyrule Temple. The jump back then from N64 to GameCube was mind blowing with the boost in details, and smash was no different. Going from basically one static background image in smash64 to actual backgrounds with 3d space to them hits different. I will admit this is not good looking, but it gives me that nostalgic/comforting feeling of squinting hard enough that there's SOMETHING out there.
another really good spot, in cheep cheep beach. after you glide over the water near the beginning, turn around and go back in the water. there's this really cool & lovely underwater area with fish and stuff. I remember playing it back in the day and hoping we would someday get a water level that looked like that in a 3d mario game. thankfully odyssey came out & scratched that itch for me.
I did this kind of thing a lot when I was a kid on my gamecube. I basically played dollhouse with most of my games and as an adult I have an eye for little spots that have that kinda empty, "useless" space vibes. Been playing a lot of WoW with its current expansion and there are still so many little spots where you can just stop and relax cause there's no quests in them, there's no one really running around in them because flying is a thing from the get go, so you can just kinda sit down and vibe.
One thing i want to point out about the electrodome view is that they bothered to make the moon realistically sized in the sky, when 90% of other games make the moon gigantic for the spectacle. But not here, the moon is nice and tiny in the sky
Keep up all your work, your creativity/comedy is unparalleled. I am often finding myself literally laughing out loud to your editing/quips and really loving the spattering of philosophic meanderings you layer in. Brilliant stuff Austin.
Modern games can be amazing for this sort of thing, I agree. When I played Assassin's Creed Odyssey on release, I went to an area of the map called Makedonia. This place used to be particularly odd because there was nothing in it. As in, there weren't any objectives or map markers to check off, they gave you no reason to go there. Of course, there was a later DLC that added a couple things to it, but when it first launched, it was such an interestingly barren and sort of wild feeling location. And it was a huge chunk of land, too. You could get lost in the forests and not see a single waymark or sign of civilization.
I love this series, so much so now that im looking at things differently, and found some odd and unremarkable places myself in games like bloodborne and Elden RIng, so thanks for that, i can't unsee.
What the heck austin. I haven't watched you since you were playing ocarina of time and answering listener questions. Glad to see you're still around! Much love.
This series is excellent! Playing games 'wrong' can really give some interesting insights or reveal odd and unremarkable things that add to the 'vibes'. Please do more of these
Never stop making these, please. These videos are very comforting and enjoyable for me. I always spent so much time in games just lookin’ around and no one else I knew did that. I use to have a list of my favorite water in games
Damn, watching this as I wind down for sleep and that track on the outro really sucked me in. Got real absorbed in it before getting a little startled by the sudden cut. Good stuff man, been enjoying your work. If I could make a humble request, I'd love to see the specific song titles in the descriptions
Interesting thought, that older games are "chalked full of these" kinds of spots is the initial assessment for some. I can understand, for sure, but boy am I glad that you're finding the gems in the modern releases. Side note, we just got our son a Switch. It's my first time playing Nintendo since the GameCube. I cannot believe I've been missing out this long! Long live the Legend of Zelda!
I've always hated how restrictive a lot of newish (I'm talking Xbox 360 & on) games are, especially when they put in unnecessary invisible walls or boundaries. The way you said it makes perfect sense to me: I paid for the game, let me go there. Going places in games that your not supposed to, breaking the illusion that the developers made, those are some of the best parts of games. That's why Halo 2's levels are so fun. They didn't have time to put the invisible walls in, so you could just break the whole game. It was great. Nevermind that that they were so overworked that some of them slept on cots in the office more than once, that's definitely not horrible. I'm sure they loved it. Also, there was a face on that moon, and it was very unsettling. Double also, Great video. Keep it up. PS: I found you through your Skyrim employment survey video and then immediately went back and started watching your old stuff. I've watched/listened to almost every episode of eggbusters, (loved the DVD commentaries btw, it was cool to see you reflect on your old work) a good portion of one time glitch, and 7 or 8 VG Whams over the past few weeks, and it's been really neat to see how you and your channel have changed. Thanks so much for all the effort you've put in to your work through the years Austin. I hope your having a great day. PSPS: I know that last PS was pretty long to be a post script, I just couldn't be bothered to think of a better transition to a new topic.
I am so glad I found your channel again. It’s awesome. Your Eggbusters series was what I grew up on, spending countless hours trying to replicate glitches and whatnot on my Wii games. You were my Saturday morning cartoons. Can’t wait to binge everything you’ve put out in the decade since then lol.
You make some of my favorite videos on youtube. Watching your videos is like hanging out with a good friend. These videos really help me slow down, take in small details, and just exist calmly for a while. I also love your sense of humor. Thank you for your content
I think it worked BETTER than the older games. I never had an "Oh my god" moment during the n64 episodes. Though I admit the term "Unremarkable" may no longer apply.
y'know, we've always been thinking it'd be cool to see more games that are sort of nothing BUT odd and/or unremarkable places. not like some Backrooms shit but just. a place that *could* be normal but doesn't quite feel like it's in the right context to be. so we're making a game about that. y'all should too if you wanna. we need more shit like that in the world imo
These videos inspired me to revisit breath of the Wild again since that game has so many odd and unremarkable places. Its basically Odd and Unremarkable Places the Video Game
Only recently found this channel, and it's been very fun :) Stardew Valley seems like it could be a good candidate for a modern (albeit retro-styled) game with some odd and unremarkable places - like the patch of weeds behind the Jojamart, say.
I only recently found your channel but videos like these are so fucking amazing, I /love/ seeing the spaces you find interesting and hearing why you do, the way your communicate vibes is so immaculate
you can go "down there" on thwomp ruins actually, there's a fairly easy out of bound glitch that allows you to (even though i guess it's not much of interest for those videos since it's not somewhere you can normally go)
I think the monster hunter series has a lot of potential for odd spots. The old games have strange spots in large areas with huge skyboxes, little rooms that act a bit like hallways but encourage exploration, and the new games are so massive that a few little corners are oft forgot.
I just realized i watched your egg busters videos YEARS ago when you were a smaller channel and now i found your channel again and ive been watching and i JUST realized its you im so happy, you are such a funny and entertaining dude.
My favourite little place in Mario Kart 8 is in Shy Guy Falls, where if you slow down and watch them work, you also hear their voices chanting in time to the song. I love that little touch, and it's so fun watching the little guys just keep mining away, such industrious little fellas!
amazing as always and i bet there are all sorts of odd and unremarkable places in modern games. especially like, racers and fast-paced games because i feel like there are so many places you'd normally not spend much time in at all.
9:08 I call that moon the "Creepy Peach Moon" as if you look at it from a certain angle (tilted 90 degrees anti-clockwise in this case), it looks like a hollowed out Peach face. You can find it in many Booster Course Pass tracks (which you should also cover in this series).
4:08 Real talk though, the reason they won't let you go down there without Lakitu pulling you back up is because it's a racing game, and imagine how annoying it would be if it was easier to get stuck off the course while racing. If that were the case one would instead be yelling at Lakitu TO come and get you, rather than let you stay down there and lose the race.
As far as racing games go, San Francisco Rush 2047 on the N64 would be a really good video for this seies. It has a some really interesting tracks with a bunch of shortcuts, little nooks and crannies, and weird interesting features
I’ve really grown to love all your content. Your music especially is something that’s really grown on me, and as a musician myself I’m quite picky. Keep up the good work, excited to immediately watch another vid.
Speaking of doing this with modern games, I bet you could find some odd and unremarkable places in Mario Odyssey as well. That place has some nice spaces
My favorite game to get stoned and find weird places to chill and look around, or odd spots was GTA V... you could find endless video content there regarding this subject... kinda like to see it tbh lol
I watched the video while driving along in my own in Mario kart 8 😅 and through this it felt more like a walk (drive) through a museum. Which I really enjoyed. Thank you 🙏
I have only played any Mario Kart game a few times in my life. I stayed over at my cousins' house just a few days ago and played this game forgetting I watched this already, and now it's cool to see that I can actually relate to the places for once
Love this series, got me thinking of other unusual linear games and one that came to mind was Crash Bandicoot. Twinsanity and Wrath of Cortex have plenty of odd areas to sit and observe
Another video so soon!? Austin you spoil us. I was wondering if you were going to do any modern games with these series and it went pretty well ^^ looking forward to more videos. Yeah that’s just piss, idc what you have to say it just looks like piss and you can’t unsee that lmao. Oh my gosh! I was looking at the thumbnail and I was trying to figure out which track that was but I had no idea it was going to be the electrodrome track! It’s so weird to think about now, it’s outside!? And I agree with your rant. Let us drive off course to little areas. Also I love that cave edit you did, it was 👌🏻 *chef’s kiss* 10/10 Another great video Austin can’t wait for the next one. Have a great day and I hope work goes well :)
Kart games were always my favorite for this type of stuff. Diddy Kong Racing always had a ton of random nondescript areas you could just drive to and chill in when I was a kid
I feel like racing games are one of the best genres for this. They always have weird spots that you're just supposed to blow past and never look twice at. Lego Racers has some good ones, and the little nub that you like on Thwomp Ruins reminds me of hiding from my friends in Kirby Air Ride City Trial.
I never liked how, in this game, Lakitu won't even let you drive backwards without forcing you to turn around. I used to love exploring Mario Kart levels as a kid and that just ruined my fun.

This is one of my favorite video series ever to be honest
I agree. It's really interesting. And the title really undersales it in a funny way.
Same

@@ts4gvPOV you step into a perfectly hidden sinkhole
We're getting philosophical in here and I love it
Crazy how the algorithm killed this channel but this "unremarkable" series brought it back from the dark pits of youtube heck
Yeah right? I love that this channel gained some momentum again 😁
always cool to see. youtube can be a cruel mistress
"The moon persists..." I love it, thank you 🥺

The Electrodrome has always been my favorite MK8 track. I’ve played it hundreds of times. And I never realized it was outdoors instead of a club. 😳
That legit blew my mind.
Thought I’d throw a comment in.
I’ve been binging all your more recent content the last few days.
I really appreciate how cozy it feels. Your chill music and peaceful vibes are great for heading to bed in a good mood.

I’ll be sure to stick around
Unremarkable and odd places in video games gotta be one of my favorite genders

im the biggest mario kart fan, and im surprised as well!
A dome to me means inside though, guess I was incorrect?
@@Irreve-rsibleI guess that’s why it’s called Electrodrome?

There are some weird places, especially on the outer fringes of the map.
This is by far the best and my favorite video series of all time. Even with new games it works so good. Keep it up, you've made my day!
I think just staring at the audience in Mario kart is just enough to give you a weird feeling. The hop back and forth in an endless cycle with without blinking and indifferent to you. Takes you out of the world and makes you realize your playing a game.

Yo when you called the moon judgemental I basically clapped. Love this series, lean all the way into deep and weird reads on these spaces.
We love this
You're damn right!
Yes we do
Correct
Indeed
Yep.

I am inspired by your work. When I see how hard you are working it makes me try my best to improve.
it depends on the game, but you can totally do this kind of series with modern games. you can find odd and unremarkable places all the time in games.
Im so glad i found your channel Austin. Few really appreciate life/the world like this.
Also,
I like this video

Just like modern North Macedonia!!

Thank you for this whole series, Austin. The vibes are just *chef's kiss*.
What the heck austin. I haven't watched you since you were playing ocarina of time and answering listener questions. Glad to see you're still around! Much love.
Great vid as always Austin. Would love an Odd and Unremarkable Twilight Princess video!
ALSO weird request but the Iron Man game based off of the 2008 movie has TONS of Odd and Unremarkable places
This series is excellent! Playing games 'wrong' can really give some interesting insights or reveal odd and unremarkable things that add to the 'vibes'. Please do more of these
0:03
Being the only person in Buccees at 3:30am does definitely hit these vibes

If I could make a humble request, I'd love to see the specific song titles in the descriptions
Interesting thought, that older games are "chalked full of these" kinds of spots is the initial assessment for some. I can understand, for sure, but boy am I glad that you're finding the gems in the modern releases.
Side note, we just got our son a Switch. It's my first time playing Nintendo since the GameCube. I cannot believe I've been missing out this long! Long live the Legend of Zelda!
Never noticed that the Electrodome is outside that blew my mind
that fact that its "electrodrome" and not "electrodome" already killed me. now you tell me its outdoors the entire time?
"at the end of the day when the party's over, the moon persists". What a vibe
I've always hated how restrictive a lot of newish (I'm talking Xbox 360 & on) games are, especially when they put in unnecessary invisible walls or boundaries.

I think it worked nicely. Newer games don't usually have that dreamlike emptiness vibe, but there's still plenty of little underappreciated places
I love that you used Bucees for your "Ah, this place is weird" example.
Went in there once and it was an absolute fever dream
I think it worked BETTER than the older games. I never had an "Oh my god" moment during the n64 episodes.

8:58 dude so relatable
The city of the Electrodrome is drowning in its own opulence, with only the moon left when the party's over. Damn.
amazing as always and i bet there are all sorts of odd and unremarkable places in modern games. especially like, racers and fast-paced games because i feel like there are so many places you'd normally not spend much time in at all.
1:09 I can’t help but notice “Piss Canyon” shoots you out of a donut hole/tunnel, located between two thick pieces of cake
This was strangely fascinating and understandably soothing, please continue

I'd like more of these videos
I watched the video while driving along in my own in Mario kart 8 😅 and through this it felt more like a walk (drive) through a museum. Which I really enjoyed. Thank you 🙏
I *really* like this series, please keep it up. Thank you Austin!

This needs to be more popular. You are criminally underrated
STFU UDKN is such a banger. Didn't know where else to post this. You're awesome.
I have only played any Mario Kart game a few times in my life. I stayed over at my cousins' house just a few days ago and played this game forgetting I watched this already, and now it's cool to see that I can actually relate to the places for once
Love this series, got me thinking of other unusual linear games and one that came to mind was Crash Bandicoot. Twinsanity and Wrath of Cortex have plenty of odd areas to sit and observe
It was someone's job to make those little spots. I'm glad you are teaching us to appreciate them.
Another video so soon!? Austin you spoil us.
I was wondering if you were going to do any modern games with these series and it went pretty well ^^ looking forward to more videos.
Yeah that’s just piss, idc what you have to say it just looks like piss and you can’t unsee that lmao. Oh my gosh! I was looking at the thumbnail and I was trying to figure out which track that was but I had no idea it was going to be the electrodrome track! It’s so weird to think about now, it’s outside!? And I agree with your rant. Let us drive off course to little areas.
Also I love that cave edit you did, it was 👌🏻 *chef’s kiss* 10/10
Another great video Austin can’t wait for the next one. Have a great day and I hope work goes well :)
I really like these unremarkable and odd videos but I need more sky boxes in my life.
Kart games were always my favorite for this type of stuff. Diddy Kong Racing always had a ton of random nondescript areas you could just drive to and chill in when I was a kid
I feel like racing games are one of the best genres for this. They always have weird spots that you're just supposed to blow past and never look twice at. Lego Racers has some good ones, and the little nub that you like on Thwomp Ruins reminds me of hiding from my friends in Kirby Air Ride City Trial.
thanks austin, the editing was good on this one !
I was like "haha Austin didn't realize Electrodome was inside how silly" then you said it was outside and I FLIPPED MY LID
I never liked how, in this game, Lakitu won't even let you drive backwards without forcing you to turn around. I used to love exploring Mario Kart levels as a kid and that just ruined my fun.
Best video series ever to exist on youtube honestly
The moon is there to tell you to stop partying and go to bed
Comparing a “sky box” to a sick bag on a Delta flight made me laugh so hard
I love MK8, thank you for showing it off for us all!
