Big goober noots.
nah
Nuh uh
@Don't Read My Profile Picture shut the hell up
This video should have an epilepsy warning
I like how it starts out with seriously creepy or weird games and then just goes to Poop Slinger.
Spoilers!
@@AveragePastaConsumer why is that your pfp
@@promemeus5610 I don’t know but I don’t like it 😅
@@AveragePastaConsumer q
read this as he said it
14:50
It's a lie. Everyone in Russia knows about April Fools, it's a very popular holiday there. In Russia this holiday is also called "Fool's Day", "Laughter Day" or simply "April First". And yes, this holiday is celebrated in exactly the same way as in the USA
Just login to comment to check how many us russians watched this video and this lie about april fools unknown in russia lol.
So thus company pretending to be russians i guess cause no one would say that lie that if he is russian. Is like 3 second check on google
Russians always lie
True
That just makes things weirder.
Да
That game being about Alzheimer's honestly makes it make a lot of sense. No set controls, constantly changing environments, no idea what you're doing or where you're going. That honestly makes it pretty brilliant imo
Yeah this is the first time I heard that Alzheimer's was the inspiration for it and it makes a lot more sense now. I feel like it captures both those experiencing it, and those going through it with a loved one, very well.
@@Red-Tower It's like a more intense version of That Dragon Cancer which was about parents dealing with their child's cancer diagnosis from the kid's perspective.
Except he said it was about all timers not Alzheimer’s
@@Red-Tower It's like the dementia Doom mod.
@@allnightfright619 oh you think you're so funny, huh
Cant believe Poop Slinger is one of the mysterious video games of all time
Because of game getting exclusive and rare?
@@sitosamin Because no one knows who the developer is or why it was made.
@nichoudha prolly made as a joke or as a fetish thing, at least that’s what I’m assuming, idk, and I don’t want to know
@@sitosamin thats the only thing you can get out of from this video?
I'll sell you an even more mysterious game for $40,000.
Number 3 looks like just some devs accidentally published their test projects to the store instead of keeping them in limited access environment.
Yeah, those look like test programs.
Yup. I posted in another comment - it's literally called "Direct3D game sample" from the Windows Universal Samples kit. Open source + guided tutorial on creating it.
What confuses me is how those games manage to make it into game pass, you'd expect there would be someone checking the games before putting them on the service
I remember seeing them on gamepass last fall but I didn't really thought about it and ignored them, now I feel bad that I didn't download them
Doesn't it cost money to publish games to gamepass tho? Feels like a Gilson B Pontes situation where an insider granted access to an eccentric billionaire who thinks making games is easy but they gave up at some point.
The question to Wheeliam about the Stranger is a reference to "The Mask" of the King In Yellow. At the start of the short story of "The Mask", they ask the Stranger to lay aside his mask, and he says exactly what Wheeliam says.
Ask Wheeliam who the Emperor is and who the King In Yellow is
Damn beat me to it, good spot though considering it didn't fully finish the reference!
Me an the boys spending 16 years in prison after the poop slinger heist
Oddheader makes doing chores so much easier, especially since he talks about genuinely interesting topics
That would just distract me and make me do chores slower.
@@IAmMuffin. I wish lofi girl had a chores/errands music stream haha
@@IAmMuffin. built different tbh
@@IAmMuffin. The difference between neurotypical people and neurodivergent lol
@@TheExigency lmao yes
That Kiss Or Kill video where that developer is cutting into his stomach and putting a GameBoy game into his stomach, seems like a reference to Videodrome. It's a David Cronenberg film from 1983. The practical effects are done really well and they're pretty disturbing. It has a lot of body horror. The film is difficult to understand and it leaves a lot to interpretation, but I'd highly recommend it. Great video as always. The mysterious video games videos are one of my favorites. They're always just so interesting.
Oh hey, I've played Who's Lila to completion! Epic to see it in a video!
Wheeliam is a real sweetie. I've been theorizing about stuff in this game on-and-off in my free time. It very much does fit on a list like this.
Who's Lila sounds so fun - I really want to check it out
@@Zulf85 Definitely do, it's well worth it!
@@SynapticAbyss how do you play it ?
@@carterknight3173 With your hands.
Let's spread Lila everywhere my friend...
The value of things secondhand only depends on how much someone is willing to buy it for. Poop slinger is only worth 20,000 if someone actually buys it for that much. Guy could be asking for 20,000 forever if it isn't worth that much.
Very good point
The fact that it’s rare and it’s 20k is hilarious to me
So all he has to do is buy it from himself for 20k like they all do
@@ootdega While that is pretty illegal, plenty of people do that. The market for retro video games has completely ballooned from a few people who own auction houses and grading companies just trading copies of mario back and forth between each other.
So the GPS-MDS-test app was actually a crucial component in early xbox modification. It allowed for direct system file access before Microsoft patched the exploit out. There are several other apps like it that are now defunct as well
God, I love mysterious games like these. There's just something about how obscure they are, exploring all that weirdness and trying to find any clues or secrets to figure out more is so thrilling. My favorites are the weird freeware games hosted on their own indepent websites. Freegames-online, Cicada Marionette, Revenge of the Sunfish - I'm surprised there aren't more videos on them, they're so fascinating. I would love to see you talk about one of them, Odd. If you have the time that is. In any case, I hope you have a good day, your videos are always so high quality and entertaining and I hope you keep up the awesome work! :D
Revenge of the sunfish is iconic and still freaky lol
Revenge of the sunfish made me the person I am today
Everything by Kimberly Kubus
Vinesauce is a great streamer to watch if you like weird and insanely obscure games like this. Cicada Marionette for example fucked with vinny on a crypt worlds exploration stream its a pretty famous stream of his
@@dollenrm honestly a lot of these feel like attempts at viral marketing.... well, not the disease one... that one just feels unfinished.
I hope that if this gets more people to play Strawberry Cubes, something new will be discovered. I played it and collected all the purple icons, but nothing happened. I hope there is more to it.
game looks like stink
you missed one
Absolute nothing burger responses lol
If I had a bit more free time to waste I would like trying to play it and find new stuff, but frankly it seems like VERY heavy collaborative work among people who have played would be the only way to fully figure out any remaining secrets.
When I got into the infamous Evil Farming Game rabbit hole, I was presented with a long, comprehensive and detailed document detailing the entire team's years-long research, sources, possible leads, dead-ends, etc.
Yeah, that game ended up not even being real, but I still appreciated how much easier research became thanks to that document. For this real game, that we have files for and can constantly play to find new stuff, I feel like figuring out anything it's hiding would be considerably easier too.
Then again, given the game seems to be based on that one whole message about alzheimer's and stuff, it may be better to leave any potential misteries unsolved. Y'know, 'cause maybe we're not meant to understand it in order to get the concept.
It feels like Yume Nikki so doubt anyone would bother for more than 3 part playthrough
Oddheader always tells the appropriate subcategory for every game. I can't believe Poop Slinger's category is "actual game" though lmao
The Poop Slinger tale has to be one of the wildest stories ever, the hardest part is imaging who in their right mind would buy a physical copy of that game...
Who knows why they did it or how they even found out, but those ~80 are rich now so joke's on us!
@@Fuzunga Someone has to be willing to pay that much for the physical copies to be worth anything. Just because something is rare doesn't mean it's valuable.
4:19 - “Un4chanately”.
6:16 - Shows a disk “diskcontinued”
Is he making these puns on purpose or does my funny bone connect to my ears?
12:54 13:03 "old timers"
Not sure about the first one
The Poop Slinger story certainly sounds like a massive "joke" conducted by the dev.
Absolutely agree. I think it's a very "meta" poking at topics like the shift to digital only/limited physical releases, the value of video games, etc.
You know whenever oddheader uploads something it's definitely going to be a banger. 🔥
Mans the kind of guy you ask for *the good shit*
Certified hood classic
Nice lucky profile picture
Eh, I'm starting to get burned out with these.
Yessir
oH MY GOD I LOVE STRAWBERRY CUBES-!! i remember falling in LOVE with the game when i saw SomeOrdinaryGamers play it, and when i finally found a working download link, i played it for MONTHS, wrote down every rule (yeah theres rules to the abilities), and just getting LOST for hours at a time. fun fact, though! if u peek into the files of the game, there IS a map already in there, along witha QR code embedded in said map!
jkwgnew so cool to see the game being talked about, i really should play it again
I dunno why but watching this video it kinda reminds me of VVVVVV, especially the room with the seeds (reminiscent of the room in VVVVVV where you collect the trinkets)
3:48 I'm shocked, he didn't mention how Wheeliam has an ODD HEAD, here.
Setting the creepy part aside, the cheery music background in Gaijin Charenji is most likely to be Marble Soda by Shawn Wasabi. You can actually hear the snippet played by oddheader at the 2:13 mark of the original song
Just want to share this stuff coz I think it's cool and you guys should definitely check out Shawn Wasabi especially if you like cute edm songs
I love that game. The music is amazing. Definitely going to check out Shawn Wasabi now.
I can't believe I hadn't heard of Who's Lila until now?? It looks like a surrealist Obra-Dinn, I wanna try it now!
What not watching Manly Badass Hero does to a mf
@@user-ek2xg3ps5s Oh good to know!! He has playthroughs of everything!
I'm terrified of it. The art style gives me the heebie jeebies!
.... That being said I'll probably still watch a playthrough of it
its my new favorite game now, just finished all of the endings and got all the achievements. probably one of the most underrated games of all time
GOD Who's Lila is such a genuinely amazing game. Its not a game made for just like being a strange and unknowable game, not that theres anything actually wrong with games like that, it has a wonderful story and themes.
Im not kidding when I say that it changed me as a person. It changed how I view and conceptualize the concept of self. Its so interesting, a great game that weaves an intriguing story
i felt the same way after playing it im surprised it took me this long to find it.
I started watching oddheader a few years ago, and your most recent videos still fit the same style as your older ones. I love how you’ve kept to making the same content.
Indeed, although in his most recent videos feels more like he cares more about making jokes than talking about the actual game
@@agentepolaris4914
Lately his jokes are way better than his videos. But I don't blame him, it must be hard to make a video every much about such a limited theme
Hold up, Are the graphics for Strawberry Cubes literally constructed completely out of Cellular Automata? That's really cool!!!
13:00 “all timers” lol
the "laser ass chickens" could be a reference to the Laser Pigeons Tesla claimed to have encountered in his declining years
My favorite part is the sentient talking evil forklift in Germs. Good times
the absolute 180 on the vibe from talking about strawberry cubes and its supposed ties to alzheimers...
to *poop slinger* yea... *poop slinger*
1:00 “Station.exe first appeared on the internet on 4chan” Oh yep, that explains everything
Maybe the biggest mystery was the friends we made along the way
goes deep
- Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, 1941
05:41 Oh hey its Kuroka from High School DxD at the left of the screen, guess that somehow made it pass the Xbox and steam copyright guidelines LOL
Later on its best girl rem from reZero.
6:00 Saddam has to be an Action 52 reference
I'd say an Hong Kong 97 reference, rather
7:05 This "GERMS" is not a bad game. I've never completed it myself but I've seen whole playthrough so I know about basic storyline. Basically it's about a classic body snatcher story. The Narrative is nonlinear and...not very good. Control is nightmarish, the game doesn't tell you what to do and driving is too slow. But this game has unique charm. For example, in most of video game if you're killed by enemy, your story is over. But in this game, when you're killed by certain enemy you become "one of them" and story goes on. I think some design feature of this game is still fresh today.
This is one of the advantages of storytelling in video games. You can have the player really engages in investigating.
The Game Pass mysteries are 100% publishers/developers accidentally listing things they shouldn't have and either them or MS unlisting them. No idea why the right-stick would control the download progress though!
Love the mystery of poop Slinger. Actually completed it on the digital version as I'm too afraid to open the physical one. No one is going to pay 20k for it though
One day someone will buy it off you so they can make a video titled "I SPENT 20,000 DOLLARS ON POOP SLINGER!!! (GAMING OVERLOAD???)" with a thumbnail of them pogging next to the game
@@weeningproductions945 haha it's scary I can actually see the thumbnail for that video clear as day in my head
I recalled the Yogscast playing it ages ago, but it was actually Poop Throwing Simulator.
Funny video btw lol
@@phaolo6 will have to take a look at it. Sounds like a laugh
2:23 well...that's un4chanate
Bruh
I haven't even watched yet but already know this is a gem and one of the best youtube channels of all time.
Thank you for your solid work on finding odd pieces of life ;)
@Don't Read My Profile Picture begone bot !
@Don't Read My Profile Picture I cant even read your pfp my eyes are really bad.
Why would you leave a comment before watching? Why would so many people like it? Bit strange.
@@greenhowie they know oddheader standard of quality
i remember watching vinny play Strawberry Cubes, and it was disturbing. quiet, and jarring. thank you for covering it
1:29 that actually scared me
The developer of Poop Slinger is, most likely, not actually from Russia, because April Fools is a well-known holiday there and the sales page for the game uses a Google Translate'd Russian sentence which lacks a capital letter (a common mistake of those who blindly use Google Translate to translate something into Russian) and the sentence itself is clunky with the word that means "support" in Russian being used as a substitute for the English word "maintain", which doesn't make sense in context.
5:47 the message seems to state, man is a wolf to man, with either a dative of possession or purpose
that poop slinger segment could be a whole video its actually really interesting lol
6:32
NAH I JUST WATCHED RE:ZERO AND LEMME TELL YOU THE GIRL ON THE LEFT IS FROM AN ANIME THAT FITS PERFECTLY IN THIS CRAZY SHIT
Kiss or kill looks so interesting, I'm surprised it only has 8 reviews on steam.
FLASH WARNING for Strawberry Cubes! segment starts around 11:09 and ends around 13:09. The whole game/segment has flashing & jittery imagery that could easily induce dangerous seizures! Please thumbs-up so ppl can see and be warned.
Kiss or Kill is also quite flashy. While flashy stuff don't trigger my seizures, it's still an eye sore x.x
@@EyJ122 Thank u!!
love seeing “who’s lila” get some attention!
One of wheeliam's answers seems to have been a reference to the King in yellow
The game pass stuff is interesting - sounds like they use the same pipelines to distribute a lot of testing stuff
Oddheader is literally the only channel that when he uploads I come watch the second I can.
Strawberry Cube's graphics remind me of the "life-forms" in a sandbox game called "Powder Toy".
It's John Conway's Game of Life. So the exact same thing that's in powder toy.
Where do you find this seemingly endless supply of mind-blowing content I have never heard even a squeak about anywhere?!
Station exe reminds me a bit of this game I remember playing in a high school web design class, not the same but the graphics just feel a little familiar. This game which I don’t remember the name of, you jump around collecting a item, in a time limit, the more items you got the more fractured the ground got so you could reach higher, and fall through the floor too, dodging enemies I believe. If you fell or ram out of time or died, the world would fade and the statement “So says the preacher man” shows up in text, before you start again.
Station.exe sounds like someone trying to remake doom in an openGL tutorial class; I made something similar at university with baddie snowmen and a teapot you hop into to go to the next level. (Strange choices sometimes make more sense when you're making something, than enjoying it.)
Some moron who created that game lied ths is founded in cd. Hype worked
upload it somewhere now i wanna play it
I think I was close to collecting all icons in Strawberry Cubes years ago, I think back in 2015 or 2016. My memory is a little fuzzy. I know there was a room that would tell you how many icons you had left by displaying them. I was picking them all up by clipping through the walls using the chickens to push me through (or maybe it was the clones) Anyways, I think I moved and didn't have access to the computer I used to play it on and never got to progress any further when I was missing like one icon.
Alltimers lol
On the subject of mysterious games: the game Lostboy .exe, a lost game famous for being indirectly responsible of a data leak on 4chan users, has very recently been found by french RUclipsr Feldup, who also found and interviewed the creator.
Who’s Lila? fascinated me when it first released. I had no idea it went so deep. I figured it was just a short gimmick game.
Hello there, thank you for uploading such a fun video pointing out some of the bigger mysteries in gaming. They are interesting to hear about and see what is out there. As this medium of entertainment is quite large, and things do fall through the cracks quite often. Such as the game that is based off the diamond mine.
With that said, I would like to shed some light on the Microsoft Gamepass mystery.
While I cannot confirm these games that were shown. They do remind me a bit of the internal test games that would be built for the service. When I worked with them a few years back, on a now incorporated service to Gamepass, there were similar games that we used to test certain benchmarks. They were never anything impressive. Mostly just tools to make sure stuff was working right on the dev side of things. Like the one where you can adjust the loading bar with the thumb stick.
As for how it ended up on prod (production) Gamepass. My guess is that someone accidentally pushed/submitted a build of game/app, to the wrong branch of version control.
This is usually an oversight on the dev side of things, and is usually caught not long after it happens. Both Microsoft and Xbox really do there best to keep an eye out when stuff like this happens. Also, speaking to my super limited knowledge of how these "games "are constructed. There usually isn't anything relating back to internal stuff. No unannouced or secret projects. They really are just tools that are used by the devs to try and make your experience better.
Finally, please realize this isn't a Microsoft/Xbox specific thing. It happens across all of tech and is really just human error. So please don't use this comment as an excuse to call out devs for being "lazy" or to reinforce why one group is better than the other.
If my time in the game/tech industry has taught me anything, it's that devs aren't "lazy" and "Brand loyalty" doesn't mean anything. As we did actually have a few PS4's in our Xbox office to play games we liked. Likewise, it wasn't uncommon to see Microsoft devs working on Macbooks.
Devs in the Games/Tech industry just wanna make cool things for other people. So please, please don't give them grief for these smaller slip-ups.
Thank you,
from a former Xbox QA worker🙂
Im sure this is exactly what it is. I have not worked with game pass but a lot of companies will have a developer or testing only part of their platform or even an entire different server for testing. They are not meant for the public view and are just there so that developers can make sure things are working.
For somehting similar, the civ 6 mod tutorial may well have started as one of these test features and someone decided to turn it into content.
Nothing more pathetic than desperately simping for a former employer lmfao
Always a good day when Oddheader uploads
5:10 oddheader at the beginning of every single video
10:19, old mate’s got his VB.
The Germs game looks like something that would be on one of those game jam collections that are in the style of PS1 games
Except its a legitimate Ps1 game :D
oh I am absolutely in love with the visuals of Strawberry Cubes
I've actually played Strawberry Cubes before. If you were to look at the map of the game there's a QR code that, when scanned, would take you to an image titled "secret" that was of a woman spinning yarn on a spinning wheel. I believe that the dev no longer owns the domain that the image was hosted on and going there now would lead to something completely unrelated. Also, about the purple icons, I tried collecting those to "beat" the game, but I think there's one that I never found, even though I explored quite thoroughly.
9:07 Odd!
HAH! I was just playing Gaijin Charenji 1: Kiss or Kill last night. That game is awesomely hilarious!
You also forgot to mention that one of the bosses is an actual Gameboy.
Holy shit when OddHeader talked about the station.exe game I was just starting to think it was one of those fake-out games where you never get the jumpscare you expect and then WHAT THE F*** IS THAT THING
Thanks for breaking my heart.
I almost never get jump scared, but the game in the beginning just did.
3:52 that's actually such a cool idea I fucking love that.
Hey so i was playing Dead Island 2 a few weeks ago and there was this one super odd part that i captured and haven’t seen anyone else say anything about it either. I was doing the side mission where you go to the news room and rescue the news anchor, and when i turned one of the corners i saw a body being dragged across the hall so i followed it around the corner went and when i turn it was at the other end of another hallway and it turned right and the figure dragging the body and the body itself seems to have just gone through the wall. I haven’t seen anyone else post anything about this tho.
I can't get over how you pronounced Alzheimers.
3:56 I'm probably not the first to point this out, but the answer you get from asking who's the stranger is a quote from the king in yellow
Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.
Stranger: Indeed?
Cassilda: Indeed it’s time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.
Stranger: I wear no mask.
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda.) No mask? No mask!
-- The King in Yellow, Act I, Scene 2.
A little detail, The pile of naked bodies on the cover of Germs for the ps1, is one of the bosses in the hospital level, and that pile of bodies is that thing's head.
"Alltimers Disease"
Interesting The King in Yellow reference at 3:57
Not sure if that's a random reference or a connection.
It’s for sure a connection, being made between William and The Stranger I believe
1:27 that actually jumpscared me
Fun fact about Strawberry Cubes: When looking at your save file, there is a collection number. This number goes up each time you collect those purple thing. The interesting thing is, that the more you collect, the more glitchy it gets
It’s funny bc “William” is my legal name and I’m in a wheelchair.
Love the weird and mysterious ones so much, can't wait for more
I hope you never change your format. Cheesy jokes, purple overlay, perfect deadpan humor. Well done sir well done!
My wedding day: 🙎♂️
New oddheader upload: 🤵
As always oddHeader entertains us with amazing content
sounds like a bot
I love kiss or kill so much shit is actually so unnerving. Very dope lil game :)
Indeed it is!
”Who's Lila?” resembles a gamecom game more than a Gameboy game. Although it definitely runs smoother.
8:43
actually, i think it's a video from a Playstation tech-demo, created for video format tests. At least i remember this spaceship model. It's used in some Psy-Q SDK (Playstation SDK) graphic samples. So it's very possible that video file are used just to be a dummy file or for a Video-CD tests.
I do love me some spooky mysteries in video games.
I actually have that test game on my Xbox right now. it's gone through lots of changes over the years, like kinda updates. it's barely a megabyte and it's weird.
additionally. it used to let you past the loading screen but recently I can't get past the load
Station.exe is some OG Creepypasta stuff!
These types of videos are always the absolute best to eat something with
Who's Lila has been in my wishlist for a while now, it looks really interesting and creepy!
Who's Lila is such a fantastic game man
Apparently the developers of GERMS : 狙われた街, later made some Metaverse community stuff "Splume"
which utilized their experience with PS1 GERMS game..
Lower at the tier list: Station.exe, a game found on a file on a mysterious, probably unique disc with weird and cryptic content.
At the top of the list: poop slinger, an april's fool release that sold nothing.
Checks out.
Why do you pronounce alzheimer's as "ohltimers"?
It’s “alzheimers”, not “alteimers”.
I've seen multiple people say they thought it was 'old timers disease' until they saw it written down.
1:28 I HAD SOLS RNG ROLLING IN THE BACKROUND AND THE LUCK POTION TIMED SO PERFECTLY WITH THIS IT ACTUALLY MADE ME JUMP
