I am sorry it has taken me so long to see this Hello there! Living Dead Videos/Hyconafistarosticate here Believe it or not, the name was actually a random gibberish word my mother made up and used as a password back then. I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea and I changed my to LivingDeadVideos in reference to a GTA zombie RP clan I played a lot with and edited videos for on occasion. In fact! You and I have talked, back on the comments of episode 10! So wild to see that in this video The first episodes were written by RT, I showed up and randomly DMed him a pitch and he loved my script. We became good friends. I used to go around just basically writing fan fiction sequels to people's videos and somehow it got attention. I wrote a solid 85% of the content, RT did all the hard lifting, recording, editing, etc. However, he would read the script, suggest some jokes and often they got their own little segments. We relied heavily on montages at one point because it was easy content and an excuse to use a certain song. Our scripts literally had parts like [and then Hunk kicks major ass to *song*] I was the one to suggest Lordi for the intro but it was actually RT using Pretender later on upon his insistence that I actually got into Foo Fighters. The bush/nuke Spain joke is amusing because I actually visit Spain very frequently now, specifically Galicia. No where rural like RE4, but its amusing to think that Spain was once a "far away" place to me and its now a second home. But that love started in RE4, being mesmerized by the churches and cathedrals and medieval history mixing with some sort of modernity. "Its a video game stupid" was actually scripted and RT acted it out in a way that made it seem like an adlib. The original idea came from RT trying to get a very specific trick/shot or whatever and instead Hunk got killed and the footage was unsalvageable. I wrote a funny way to incorporate the footage and then RT liked the idea so much, he reshot/recorded it with the line delivery. I am glad you enjoyed the consistent writing! I am unsure if it is was me actually being decently attentive to the plot or just the fact that we wrote everything in a very linear fashion and we did have scripts. Even the youtube poopy garbage segments were scripted and thought out. (most of the time) As I said before in our last convo a year or so ago, I write for a living and work in the entertainment industry now. The Pizza Hut/prank call stuff started because RT once confided in me he loves Pizza Hut. My weekend tradition was to get home from school, my mom would order a stuffed crust pizza and I would watch Armake21 and AVGN all saturday night into sunday morning. A friend of mine, Gino, would sometimes come over or I would go over to his house, and we'd prank call people. I once accidentally speed dialed my own biological mother (I was adopted by my grandparents) and I had to lie and say I wasn't calling random numbers on my grandmother's phone to fuck with people, I was just trying to find the Pizza Hut number. I knew nothing about DDR for a long time. I didn't actually play a rhythm game until around 2014 but I knew at the time RT enjoyed it a bit and knew it was topical, at the time it was really popular with the youtube poop crowd too. I actually don't know if a "double A" rank even exists. BTW, the ONE reason RT and I stopped talking was that I think the googleplus shit happened and made it a lot less fun to actually DM people. The old DM system was very simple (a lot of the scripts were written IN the actual DMs in a single sitting) and I remember each youtube update had worsened it. The MAIN reason? RT got a PS3 and I had a 360. I feel like if we had the same console, we would have maintained contact (PSN was apparently the preferred way of communicating with RT) but we were literally torn apart by the console wars. There was no actual bad blood or anything, I just remember that at that time I devoted myself to the GTA Zombie RP group (thus the name change of my channel) and RT was heavy into Killzone 2 multiplayer (which apparently was actually good). The console wars were our Berlin wall. Ironically, I'm a PC gamer now exclusively (but I still use an Xbox One controller for fighting games) It all started with Super Awesome Adventures of Hunk and also, I wrote the script for GTA Horror's zombie machinima, Divine Intervention It is so wild to think that if not for this community, I would never have been a writer. I keep a very low profile on here and only come out of the woodwork to comment on these sort of things, but I am forever grateful that people thought my childish musings were worth adapting. I like to believe I was apart of the best youtube era in some ways, even if I know that is mere nostalgia talking. I also knew a lot of the major GTA SA machinima makers back in the day. Ironically, I think I was the weird kid who was more interested in writing scripts than actually getting GTA SA mods installed to make my own stuff. I really regret not keeping in contact with so many of those people, but truthfully, a lot of us simply got jobs, got married, started our lives. But this era of the internet will always be a blissful memory.
Superb reflection on the series and videos. I'm glad you came out of the woodwork recently to comment and respond to my response. I'd never thought I'd get the backstory on some RUclips video jokes that have stuck in my head for more than a decade. I do want to let you know my brother still reference you and RT's work occasionally to each other (one of our closest injokes). The "It's a video game, stupid" will always be a favorite of my and maybe one of the first "meta" jokes I understood and eventually sparked my interest in how videos are actually made. It does have the certain purity of the era. And I can say I was watching the same stuff you guys were on RUclips like AVGN and Armarke21 (RIP). So my brother and I were watching the same stuff you guys were while writing HUNK though we're probably a few years different in age. It is very nice to connect over something that influenced me and it was very lucky you posted that comment when you did so I could end the video on it. I suppose this current comment chain is the postscript then, lol. I also never knew you worked on Divine Intervention! Our cousin showed us that back in the day. It was before we owned a GTA game though so it never stuck in our heads as much as TSAAoH did. If you'd like to get back into contact with RT you can e-mail me or DM on Twitter. I've never reached out, but I'm 80% sure I found his current Steam profile last year (I don't want to post it here). I didn't want to awkwardly bring up a RUclips project he may not have thought about in more than a decade.
I am still blown away that it has stuck with people so much. I am reminded that, one time years ago, my friend Gino from the prank call era didn't have internet at his house and the Die Hard AVGN review had just came out. I literally called him on a landline phone and held it to the computer speakers, so that he could at least hear it until he got the chance to actually view it. We spent years quoting that episode alone. "He won't do that, but he'll jump out of a window and fucking kill himself?!" The fact you and your brother have something similar, it really would have made the younger me insanely happy to know that. HUNK as a character still means a lot to me. A lot of my own writing and creative works really reflect how much of an impact that character had on me. I used to use the gameshark on PS2 to turn myself into Hunk in Resident Evil Outbreak 1 and 2. I'm pretty sure RT used gameshark as well to turn himself into Hunk in the campaign in order to record the footage. Now that was a different era in itself. I was so upset that I couldn't get Outbreak file 1 or 2 to do its infamous netplay, for whatever reason. Divine Intervention was really fun, GTA Horror and I wrote several scripts but a lot of my ideas were too ambitious for the most part. I originally was supposed to do the voice of the priest in Divine Intervention as well, but it ended up being super cringe. Hilariously, Divine Intervention was well received and yet, I admittingly lifted a lot of the idea for it (a priest fighting antagonistic forces with a sawn off shotgun) from a flash game lol. I am happy to say I did the satanic biker thing before MANDY did. (however, I was inspired directly by the bikers lead by Tom Savini in the original Dawn of the Dead.) One of my major GTA Horror pitches was also basically just a soft adaption of Garth Ennis' Crossed comics, specifically centered around the character who may or may not have been Prince Harry. I felt so bad for GTA Horror, he learned how to texture NPCs and everything for a project that sadly was impossible to even get started. I sent you an email! Who knows, if it is RT, we may just end up making that finale after all.
@@Pseudiom Rawr Wave is bit too silly of a name. "LOL wave" makes more sense since it's way more identifiable since Zoomers somehow don't use it anymore.
*The Super Awesome Adventures of HUNK* Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A very long time. Late 2000's RUclips was something else entirely.
I used to watch this series along with the MS paint Resident Evil animations by Shadowleggy (who appeared in RTSharpshooter's subscriptions), I remember that time so well I tried to even make my own little youtube animations and shows- man it's so nice to remember this stuff and to hear someone take a good retrospective look on all of it- this was a great dive and trip down memory lane, thanks! Here's hoping for part 11.
I miss this era of RUclips sometimes. I made my account at right about the end of it. It's not as polished and consistent as it is today, but the channels seemed more about the content then the talent behind it. There weren't many RUclips celebrities at the time. In a time where influencer culture drives the zeitgeist of what's popular, what gains popularity seems more about the person then the videos themselves. Back then, you just had to make entertaining content and you'd likely never see a dime for it. You just did it because you loved it.
There's some quote along the lines of "History is the dying dream of culture" (maybe by Mircea Eliade or Carl Jung?) that I think applies to RUclips. Obviously, applying it to RUclips is reductive, but it explains RUclips's development. I always as assumed once RUclips developed a "history" (the idea the site has a history to look back on) it would slowly begin to overwhelm creative works. RUclips would slowly become inundated and flooded with its own history people would fear their ideas are no longer original or simply adopt mass produced video styles. Money and the format of the website are part of it, but I think it was inevitable videos would reach the point they are at (I fully admit I'm part of this and its process). It's sort of like how the American Frontier ended up being summarized in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Shows.
Early 2000s RUclips truly was something else. Half of the shit i watched as a wee lad in those days still feel like a nostalgic fever dream with a banger trance/eurodance/techno song playing in the background. RUclips truly had that vital early 2000s energy in those days.
Early RUclips had strong energy before it became set in its ways! It may have just been everything was novel though. I still think there's plenty of creativity, but the amount of Let's Plays, Documentaries, and Video Essays make it seem like modern RUclips is only a few genres of video.
@@Pseudiom Great observation. To me early RUclips is very much defined by its "exploratory" and "youthful" nature as i like to say. Love this video and series btw, i'm fascinated by early Internet oddities like this.
It reminds me of the Super Mario 64 bloopers trend, which was also crazy popular at the time. Some RUclipsrs made fortunes out of making those, which is funny considering how Nintendo treats fan stuff like this.
Freeman's Mind and DBZ abridged are the only two series I know of from that time that managed to come to completion. Lots of dead bodies along the way and half finished works. Oh gosh... Just realized that with the advances in AI produced content there's a chance you could get a computer to finish them.
Did Little Kuriboh end up finishing Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged series? Last time I checked in on the series it was on Dartz, but that had to have been more than five years ago or so. I did hear he was almost done a few months ago. I still remember the days when he was battling with RUclips and his channel was getting taken down every other month. Outside Freeman's Mind, and I've voiced my appreciation for Ross Scott on this channel before, the only Mind series I know that totally finished was "Barney's Mind". I believe the creator also had a brief voice cameo on the last episode of Freeman's Mind? If you consider it to be a result of this culture, which is arguable, you could also include Red vs Blue. If you cut out all the extra stuff, RvB had an "okay" conclusion if you consider it to have ended with Season 6. I would actually prefer to use that AI to give RvB a better ending though.
@@Pseudiom I would tie RvB more to the history of Machinima rather than early youtube poops simply because of the production quality they brought to it. Straight off the bat they were a step above their competition's production at the time. I think I still have the first few seasons on dvd around here somewhere. No idea about Yu-Gi-Oh, I know he was one of the writers behind DBZ. I was too old for YuGi to be my series growing up. Ross is definitely a good dude, and yeah the guy behind Barney's Mind does make a cameo though I couldn't tell you where exactly.
If there something current I hate is how RUclips has fostered a hyperinflation of opinions. Nowadays every schmuk can tell us what to think and feel from some shabby room, saying the most uninspired, mediocre, ready made thoughts already held by the masses as if it were some shocking revelation, always sponsored by some garbage product, of course. The worst degeneration of this trend is the vídeo essay, where some nobody bloviates and pontificates about some trivial matter or important subject with the same confident ignorance. The conceit this ad revenue masters is astounding. "X is garbage and here is why", "Anything you like is bad and you should feel bad", "The truth behind mayo", "It's time we adress the color blue ". Five hours each. Opinions inflated to the point of not meaning anything and silence becoming the true revelation. I know this comment is also an opinion.
Oh man, I remember tsaaoh. It was probably my first exposure to resident evil. That or watching a friend play RE4 on his gamecube. Same friend who introduced me to tsaaoh hence me being unsure. I watched it way too much, even though 75% of the jokes went misunderstood since I was not yet very fluent in english, and a bit too young. To this day, when I see Hunk in a game I don't see the character they devs are portraying. Just the random wierdness that was this series. Ironically for a series based on RE4, it actually got me into the fixed camera games due to Hunk's involvement in RE2. Even though my first time actually playing one (and not religiously watching and rewatching Derangedband's let's plays) was when 0 and REmake came out on steam. Thanks for this video and the stirring of good memories. Even if it makes me feel old to see, and I'm not even 30 yet.
You've been interacting with me for 2 years at least. Although the circles we run seem to overlap often. A bit of an eerie tale from the internet age. (Was just sitting down to watch your new vid when I noticed the bell icon was red; just an aside I thought was coincidental)
I 100% run in several of the same circles my viewers do. I've seen several familiar usernames pop up on certain websites/forums and I'm pretty good at recognizing people's posting styles. Its an unspoken thing I think most people are aware of.
While i never got to watch this series as a kid. I however, can strongly relate to a series that wasnt able to be finished and having nostalgia over. Mine was the Star Wars Battlefront 2 “Destiny IV” series by GarbageGuy as it was similar in its quality,humor and that it wasnt able to have a proper conclusion. watching you fawn over this show made me miss those days of early yourube. That no matter how amateur and cringy these early videos were, it was made with nothing but friends having fun and doing this out of entertainment. That is something that has since changed on youtube but it was inevitable. Thank you for sharing this. Everyone is going back to memory lane it seems! I hope Rtsharpshooter himself comes across this video!
Another great dive Pseudiom. I personally did not watch this series, but the history of such niche channels tends to be formulaic. Sometimes I wonder if anyone recalls the shitty Pokémon YTPs I posted in 2009 that got a couple hundred views. I can only pray they do not.
If you send me those Pokemon YTPs, I would make a video on them. Now, I can't say it would be either a long or good video, but it would be a video. I would of course make sure they have no connection to you.
@@Pseudiom one month comments later but the anticristo2007 was a loquendo channel(loquendo is a Text-to-speech program) back in the day and let me tell you the Loquendo spanish community is a whole rabbit hole you could make a whole video especially because there were so many of them but the problem is that most information is in spanish.
For me the early YT series that has tuck with me has been "DnD Players Handbook PSA." Or PHBPSA. It was a bunch of theater kids making dumb videos about DnD a decade before DnD was mainstream.
>last video was 13 years ago I always wonder where this people went in life. Is there a RUclips after life? It always fills me with a weird sort of melancholy, nostalgia, and longing.
I am sorry it has taken me so long to see this
Hello there!
Living Dead Videos/Hyconafistarosticate here
Believe it or not, the name was actually a random gibberish word my mother made up and used as a password back then. I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea and I changed my to LivingDeadVideos in reference to a GTA zombie RP clan I played a lot with and edited videos for on occasion.

I wrote a solid 85% of the content, RT did all the hard lifting, recording, editing, etc. However, he would read the script, suggest some jokes and often they got their own little segments. We relied heavily on montages at one point because it was easy content and an excuse to use a certain song. Our scripts literally had parts like [and then Hunk kicks major ass to *song*]
I was the one to suggest Lordi for the intro but it was actually RT using Pretender later on upon his insistence that I actually got into Foo Fighters.
The bush/nuke Spain joke is amusing because I actually visit Spain very frequently now, specifically Galicia. No where rural like RE4, but its amusing to think that Spain was once a "far away" place to me and its now a second home. But that love started in RE4, being mesmerized by the churches and cathedrals and medieval history mixing with some sort of modernity.
"Its a video game stupid" was actually scripted and RT acted it out in a way that made it seem like an adlib. The original idea came from RT trying to get a very specific trick/shot or whatever and instead Hunk got killed and the footage was unsalvageable. I wrote a funny way to incorporate the footage and then RT liked the idea so much, he reshot/recorded it with the line delivery.

Also, I like the term "Rawr Wave" to describe the culture, aesthetics, and sense of humor from the mid-late 2000's internet.

That's the plot of a dystopian series of novels.

So true. I believe most RUclips videos fail the medium in itself. They largely turn into a lecture by a sort of secular preacher without much to say.
I would love more videos about old RUclips , I am constantly fascinated by it

I watched it way too much, even though 75% of the jokes went misunderstood since I was not yet very fluent in english, and a bit too young. To this day, when I see Hunk in a game I don't see the character they devs are portraying. Just the random wierdness that was this series.
Ironically for a series based on RE4, it actually got me into the fixed camera games due to Hunk's involvement in RE2. Even though my first time actually playing one (and not religiously watching and rewatching Derangedband's let's plays) was when 0 and REmake came out on steam.
Thanks for this video and the stirring of good memories. Even if it makes me feel old to see, and I'm not even 30 yet.
The joe mama joke got me. Never advanced past kindergarten it seems
Most of the jokes from TSAAoH work better as non sequiturs, but that might just be true for most jokes in everything.
You keep throwing curveballs. I did not expect to see a video on one of the first things I saw on this website. Another solid video.
I've become convinced I've been posting/interacting with the same 1,000 users under different names for the last 15 years.
You've been interacting with me for 2 years at least. Although the circles we run seem to overlap often. A bit of an eerie tale from the internet age. (Was just sitting down to watch your new vid when I noticed the bell icon was red; just an aside I thought was coincidental)
I 100% run in several of the same circles my viewers do. I've seen several familiar usernames pop up on certain websites/forums and I'm pretty good at recognizing people's posting styles. Its an unspoken thing I think most people are aware of.
Another banger like usual!

I'm glad you like they Honeymooners, Jackie Gleason was an interesting, polyfacetic figure, almost a Hollywood polymath.

While i never got to watch this series as a kid. I however, can strongly relate to a series that wasnt able to be finished and having nostalgia over. Mine was the Star Wars Battlefront 2 “Destiny IV” series by GarbageGuy as it was similar in its quality,humor and that it wasnt able to have a proper conclusion. watching you fawn over this show made me miss those days of early yourube. That no matter how amateur and cringy these early videos were, it was made with nothing but friends having fun and doing this out of entertainment. That is something that has since changed on youtube but it was inevitable.
Thank you for sharing this. Everyone is going back to memory lane it seems! I hope Rtsharpshooter himself comes across this video!

My memories are audio-capture to text so several phrases are garbled, like a video-sharing site Philip K. Dick.
Another great dive Pseudiom. I personally did not watch this series, but the history of such niche channels tends to be formulaic. Sometimes I wonder if anyone recalls the shitty Pokémon YTPs I posted in 2009 that got a couple hundred views. I can only pray they do not.
If you send me those Pokemon YTPs, I would make a video on them. Now, I can't say it would be either a long or good video, but it would be a video. I would of course make sure they have no connection to you.
You could cover the Anticristo2007 saga...if you dare
That's too obscure even for me. Was he a Spanish RUclipsr from back in the day?
@@Pseudiom one month comments later but the anticristo2007 was a loquendo channel(loquendo is a Text-to-speech program) back in the day and let me tell you the Loquendo spanish community is a whole rabbit hole you could make a whole video especially because there were so many of them but the problem is that most information is in spanish.
For me the early YT series that has tuck with me has been "DnD Players Handbook PSA." Or PHBPSA. It was a bunch of theater kids making dumb videos about DnD a decade before DnD was mainstream.
>last video was 13 years ago
I always wonder where this people went in life. Is there a RUclips after life? It always fills me with a weird sort of melancholy, nostalgia, and longing.
@@Pseudiom Clinton Boomer, one of the writers and actors on the series is now a very accomplished RPG dev, and memester. The rest I have no clue.
