Cool video! Here is the whole story: When I was a kid, I was obsessed with computers. I messed around with the old Windows 2000 PC our family had. I liked to browse theme websites and installing cool icons, desktops and screensavers. I downloaded a ZIP file of a Pokémon Generation 3 theme pack (idk why, I don't even like Pokémon.) I was drawn to the Absol one because of how... odd it was. The screensaver was just the reskinned 3D Maze. I forget if there were any icons or not in the pack, I don't think so. I took a picture of it with my new phone which I had just gotten for Christmas. I believe a few days later, my parents got me a new computer. This was around 2013 or so. The Windows 2000 PC was moved to the basement and forgotten under piles of junk. I didn't make the connection between that image and the computer until after I posted the image to Reddit. I set the computer back up again in my room with the original accessories. The Absol PC lives again! PS: I'm sorry I didn't comment sooner, I am on vacation. Thank you!
This channel is awesome, you’ve earned a sub. Also, Hoenn legends say that Absol comes down from the mountains where it dwells to warn people of disasters, most often natural disasters like avalanches.
I can totally see g-man asking freeman just: “mr- freeman I shall give- a choice…to either- keep going with your work or- to stay in the absol- maze forever…time to choose” Also the - I put in there is basically when he stops to take a deep breath
Always wondered why there were pictures of Absol in that screensaver maze. Now that I know the whole story, I just think it's pretty cool to have a computer themed around Absol, because Absol's just a really cool Pokémon.
@@Shookey lol it honestly is I just found it and I'm already in love! Keep up the fantastic work dude but take your time and don't let stupid, hateful people keep you down. I've heard and seen a lot of stuff in smaller channels and I really hope none of that stuff happens to you. Lol sorry for making this long doubt you'll see it anyways cutie I'll be wishing you the best in everything 💖💛💙
I don't know why, but the drawings on the labyrinth wall reminded me of old children's drawings made on MS Paint. And the fact that this drawing uses as the wall texture in 3D Maze. It's just absolutely amazing work. (Sorry for the pun ^^;)
The Windows loading screen was, at least on 98, very easy to alter. It was a stretched bitmap file, so it could be renamed and opened in Paint, edited and saved as the original name. I wouldn't call that "heavily modified" if it worked the same way on 2000. I did that as a kid. I even put a joke on the "you can now turn off your computer" screen.
Man, when I saw the screenshot, my first reaction was 'Isn't that a modified Windows Maze screensaver? Does that still exist? Do...do screensavers still exist?!" and now I am here having a mini-crisis because GOD I'm old now!
Aye bro great video. Sound quality is fucking awesome and the images you present on screen made this video feel like something a youtuber with 100k+ subscribers would make, which is evidently what you deserve
I remember a version of the windows maze that looked a lot like the absol maze. Same colors and decorations. Except with no Absol. Though it's been years since I've seen it, I remember it distinctly.
Level Poke If you can complete this maze within 666 years, you will reach Level ∞ if you choose the correct paths to the right exit. The maze has a day/night cycle identical to Level ∞, but rather than during the night, it is during the day that it will be the most dangerous level in all of the Backrooms. Level Poke’s maze and Level ∞ share a perfectly exact time, since they are directly connected timezones. The distance from the center, to the edge, of the maze is a perfect 2^64 AUs.
hey dude, these more simple, unscripted videos are pretty fun too! awesome as always, glad to be (somewhat) early, and i'm hyped to experience those new projects!
The only interesting thing about this video by far is how it manages to stretch a single unremarkable image into 4 minutes of even less remarkable voiceover. Bravo.
The videos that you make be it unscripted or scripted are fantastic! I really enjoy watching these videos and your channel helped me become really interested in Liminal spaces. You are a very underated RUclipsr and I hope that you continue to gain more and more subscribers. All the best! ^^
A part of the boot screen, this style of Windows 2000 Absol Edition seemed more like a fan fiction of MinderiaYT, who created designs of Windows Never Released, from 2012 to 2018 (The Microsoft logo looks almost stretched in the one that I reuse of Windows 95, the credits do not separate, the title has some decent and the color did not produce the 8-bit scaling)
Me recommendations: What is Absol Maze? Me: I have no idea. Ive never heard those two words used together like that before in my life.... ... ...enlighten me. *click*
the video absol maze resererected was trying to tell you that if go to a old windows pc (around windows 95) you can go to a screen saver called 3d maze and your able to customize that screen saver with picture files so all he did was customize that screen savers with the pictures in the document ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2:29 Why do I see mandelbrot set everywhere???? Even it's not even a fractal channel which I do watch a lot of. Since I got ireally into the mandelbrot set I've been seeing it in places I didn't expect. Weird.
@@Shookey it's a set of numbers mapped on a plane that satisfy a certain condition. There's an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1 which is why you can zoom in forever on the thing. Because that applies to the larger sets of complex numbers.
an association i had when you showed the absol maze in motion was the feeling of being watched/observed by the painting; which is absolutely a different vibe than the normal brick wall texture great video, i actually forgot that you said you didn't script it beforehand, the flow is good since you've mentioned lsd dream emulator do you have any thoughts or feelings on that game? have you played it yourself?
I wish I could! (Play it that is) I've known about it for years and have always been fascinated with it, even as a kid. I love the darker and mysterious aspects of the game, such as the gray man. Unfortunately I don't have the game, nor a PS1. But I have watched countless gameplay of it via let's plays back in the day (when they were the main thing on RUclips). Perhaps one day I'll make a full video on it. What about yourself? What's your opinion. Also, thanks for the feedback! It's good to hear from you as usual

Thank you!
Well there you have it everyone! The complete story behind the mysterious and intriguing Absol Maze. Thanks again a bunch
@@Shookey Thanks for the pin!
Cool story man. Makes me nostalgic for the 2000s too
Yet another mystery solved. Now we just have to wait for someone to make a Doom mod that recreates this maze.
Do you still have the rest of the theme pack, or just the absol one? It would be really cool to be able to download and look at these.
This might be a stretch, but I think this guy's favorite Pokemon is Absol
No, the computer was like that when they bought it. It was literally an official Microsoft absol edition windows 2000.
@@Idontreallycar Didn't you read the pinned comment
@@signbear999 It was a joke and no.
@@Idontreallycar That's what I thought
@@signbear999 If you understood that it was a joke, then why did you ask me if I read it in the first place?
"Of course I know that LSD dream emulator wouldn't actually have absol in it"
Ah yes, but Doom and Wolfenstein were famous for their Absol Levels.
My fondest childhood memory is Absol destroying Mecha-Hitler with its signature attack: Knife
Those games are notorious for the extents user created mods went to. That PS1 game mentioned wouldn’t have had a fan modding community like Doom had.

Oooo okay! thank you for clarifying, I was actually interested in knowing that lol
@@Shookey No problem!
So in that case, it's a hall of harbingers?
Heh, "Hall of Harbingers" sounds like a cool name for band or album.
It's sad that people blame Absol for causing natural disasters making it one of the most tragic Pokemon in my opinion. :(
I can totally see g-man asking freeman just: “mr- freeman I shall give- a choice…to either- keep going with your work or- to stay in the absol- maze forever…time to choose”
Also the - I put in there is basically when he stops to take a deep breath
It's time to choose...
Wow this maze is so great they named a whole pokemon after it
Always wondered why there were pictures of Absol in that screensaver maze. Now that I know the whole story, I just think it's pretty cool to have a computer themed around Absol, because Absol's just a really cool Pokémon.
Feels like a someone made fanart of there favorite pokemon
This channel is a hidden gem
Thanks that's so kind

Absol's my favorite pokemon so getting this video recommended to me out of nowhere and never having heard of absol maze prior was very jarring
Same, my favourite Pokemon is also Absol.
Honestly mad props to the person for going that far in modifying windows after their (presumably) favorite Pokemon
I don't know why, but the drawings on the labyrinth wall reminded me of old children's drawings made on MS Paint. And the fact that this drawing uses as the wall texture in 3D Maze. It's just absolutely amazing work. (Sorry for the pun ^^;)
I can already imagine the memes: “What if we kissed in the Absol Maze? 😳”
It leads to eeby deeby
lmfao
Yes
I dont understand that meme can someone explain it? Oh
@@fearlessanomaly1710 the meme is just saying that you want to kiss them in an obscure place/nostalgic places
The hall of tortured souls.
I actually wanna make a video on that, lowkey
That is actually a pretty adorable maze
It was kinda interesting how you searched through various logic methods and yet the one that worked was the most basic one.
Usually happens when researching some topics.
I want someone to make an Ena maze via the same screen saver!
That would be cool!
Absol must be their favorite Pokémon
Great, now I want framed pictures of Absol sitting like a distinguished gentleman hanging across my house.
Lol
I loved playing with the textures on that screensaver when I was a kid.
Absol is misunderstood by people in the Poké world who see him as bad luck. Really, he is highly sensitive & comes from isolation to warn of disaster.
Absol is one of my favorites

Aye bro great video. Sound quality is fucking awesome and the images you present on screen made this video feel like something a youtuber with 100k+ subscribers would make, which is evidently what you deserve
Wow thanks a bunch! I never hear feedback on things like sound quality so I'm always unsure whether or not it's good. Appreciate it!!
the windows maze was featured in a bronze 56k skate video. it always has intrigued me on what it is!
I have extreme Déjà vu looking at this Absol Maze png, I cant say who where or when i might of seen this but i can tell you it looks familiar
i thought i heard about "windows 2000 absol edition" before, or at least i saw that boot up screen
I know right, randomly familiar
Stoked on your Liminal Space videos! Exactly what I was looking for keep it up
Glad you like them! Thanks again!
I remember a version of the windows maze that looked a lot like the absol maze. Same colors and decorations. Except with no Absol. Though it's been years since I've seen it, I remember it distinctly.
Apparently texturing the windows maze is a pretty common thing
I love Absol :)
heh absole is one of my top 5 favorites
Criminally underrated channel
Appreciate ur support
Yeah my first guess would have been early 2000s Windows screensaver, gen 2 Pokemon would have come out around then
this channel deserves more support
i think this guy rlly likes absol
I think you're right
Lol
Yeah I think so
Absol became my favorite pokemon solely because of this image.
That tells me you live a rather mysterious life
Bro, you have such a great channel, why dont you have like 20K? Well keep up the awesome content.
Haha thank you bro, maybe one day lol

This was really cool! Awesome research. Also lots unintentional asmr for some reason...I think it's the rambling flow.
Damn I love this channel
"There's nothing on Yandex" I can't even imagine how obscure sth has to be for their image search to fail 💀

Kinda funny how Absol is an omen of disaster
Indeed, a cool fact that goes unmentioned often
i think that guy like absol
Just popped up on this channel but the mazes give me a bit of nostalgia, love the vid btw
The backrooms seem to calm down after we gotten through the last hundred mazes.
the video absol maze resererected was trying to tell you that if go to a old windows pc (around windows 95) you can go to a screen saver called 3d maze and your able to customize that screen saver with picture files

I only understand about half of this... Mandelbrots are a visual phenomenon?
@@Shookey It's a fractal, or something that repeats infinitely, and it's from a mathematical formula. Complex/imaginary numbers are also involved.

@@Shookey it's a set of numbers mapped on a plane that satisfy a certain condition. There's an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1 which is why you can zoom in forever on the thing. Because that applies to the larger sets of complex numbers.
