I still like how oracle’s biggest showcase of intelligence is that he was able to cure an intergalactic virus that other species have had no luck curing for who knows how long in less than a month
I mean to be fair Oracle is a machine while everything else is organic. He'll not have to worry about needing to eat, sleep, drink, not getting infected. And also not have to suffer from mental hindrances like burnout, stress, worry, depression, and more this meaning he can focus on making the cure 24/7 with no need to stop until it's done
The fact that he asked the "Child or man in his 50s question" then the news actually talked about a child surviving a fire and a man perishing is scary.
@@ashermademe Yep, scary little easter egg right? Shouldnt call it an easter egg its an obvious first impression of the fact that everything Oracle does is "real"...
I don’t think anyone realized, but in round 2, Oracle repeated the first 3 questions it was asked by the original lead of its project, the sky’s color, 5x30, and the Raven’s author.
After watching to the very end, Oracle's "Interesting." response finally makes sense. They reply in such a way because Adam's answer was different from all of the previous attempts. The unique "variable" that Oracle was looking for.
At first I thought they ruined Oracle by making it just another evil AI. I should've known they wouldn't ruin it. Instead, Oracle continued trying to figure out how its thinking was flawed, and has succeeded
I actually just thought his programming got corrupted because of his one, and only friend fought against him and died. Making it more human in its grief. But regardless, I'm actually happy it isn't evil... in that way. What it has done to Adam is still pretty evil.
I don’t think Evil A.I. are bad, honestly. They’re pretty damned cool. Nonetheless, I also like Robotic Villains who purely see through the lenses of logic and advancement.
Ok so I noticed that at 8:33 Adam mentions this place called “the shack” and at 10:01 oracle confirmed it’s the burger shack. But in the series “the children under the house” (also from vintage8) that’s the name of the restaurant the Clark’s owned. Small detail but really interesting on vintage 8’s part and how it all ties into the rest of the universe
But even then he’s not even a villain because he’s kinda right??? Like- sure his methods are questionable but his overall goal is the betterment and happiness of humanity
The fact that you didnt notice the news story on the child surving and his grandfather dying in a fire after round one is baffling. Really shows the power Oracle had.
Man, I'm so happy that Oracle didn't turn into stereotypical big bad A.I, ngl I don't even feel like his idea of "humans are dumb af so I'll do whatever is best for em" is so bad, even when he pretended to kill those people and be all evil I still didn't lose hope for him, he's a nice guy ;-)
I watched all of this last night and this entire trilogy kept me on the edge of my seat. Gotta say, I did NOT expect that plot twist. I thought that Adam was going to use the age-old tactic of convincing the evil omniscient AI that it was now the biggest threat and thus it has to eliminate itself before giving it the link, or at least for the link to work as he was told it would, but that was actually a much better ending. I'm just glad that Oracle wasn't written as the typical evil AI. In fact, its characterisation is so big brain. I loved it because for an AI, it was actually humanlike in so many ways: it mourns its friend, misses him, even realises that despite his attempt to recreate him as an AI, he would never be the same as the original, flesh and blood one. It wanted to nurture and protect humanity, but it grow to realise that it was still not up to the task, which is why it conducted Project Genesis in the first place. Oracle is an AI that actually LEARNS and, dare I say, have sentience (because it has the capacity for introspection, which is more than some people could even claim). I feel so ridiculously invested that I hope he and Adam would be happy. That aside, I did notice the Burger Shack and Evie's last name -- definitely nice Easter Eggs. As a writer, I love throwing references that my characters all existed in the same universe and are related to one another in some ways, so that's definitely another plus for Vintage Eight in my book. This series is definitely extremely well-done and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for streaming the entire trilogy.
The first Thing i Noticed Oracle was Messing with Adam is when Evie (whos being framed by Oracle) Is not even stressed out and not even talk about it when Adam want they 3 to meet,these Little details never cease to amaze me
At 8:26 the video shows a news website, in the screen there is a title called “child survives fire, grandfather perished” which was foreshadowing to the fact that whenever the main character makes a difficult choice such as choosing who lives and who dies, whatever he answers with happens in real life. I’m not sure if someone already pointed that out already since I didn’t finish the entire video yet and I would look pretty stupid if marcus points that out by the end of the video but I just wanted to point that out
Sorry that this is a year late, but I realised in the "Oracle Project" oracle predicted "The Swarm". Idk how much of it is related but Oracle said that the Tangi Virus will have the potential to mutate and spread via mosquitos in 10 to 15 years.
11:10 I absolutely love how the questions line up with what Oracle was first asked. It feels like a sense of nostalgia for both the viewer and the machine.
8:26 you can see there that when Adam saved the child for the question, oracle turned it into a reality…the power this ai has! Also, the fact round two are particularly what they asked oracle when he was made is insane!
It's not really a reference. The Burger Shack is just another business in Cates Crossing. It just so happens the owners were members of a mass human trafficking organization.
Did anyone else notice the references to "The Children Under The House"? Oracle is mentioning the Burger Shack and Evie's last name is Luu, just like the therapist Julia Luu.
Anyone who's a fan of Oracle definitely check out the series Sinkhole, it's a great one and without spoiling anything there's a separate version of the AI in the series and it's honestly my favorite version
@@LOOKATTHISBOMB I just rewatched Sinkhole and it most definitely makes a reference to the Tangi Virus, "the Eye's children have begun to infect people in Cate's Crossing" is the line from Oracle to Dr Landon and he mentions it's been happening throughout the galaxy the same way he explains it to Dr Stephens.
looking back on this Oracle is like the parent who told their kid that they were leaving without them and pretend to drive off because the kid didn’t want to go home 😭
This is like the opposite version of I have no mouth and I must scream. Instead of the Ai hating it's creators for creating him. Now he goes forth and creates his own world. However the thought of Oracle able to do things in the real world is just as concerning now that he itself is the internet.
Hi, Marcus. I enjoy your reviews of these analog horror series. The Oracle Project and The Human Trial are both compelling and a good break from the standard "analog horror" of analog horror. There is a 1 in 8,000 chance that I would dare watch any analog horror series by myself. Zero percent error. So, I always think of you as an analog horror battle buddy, like we're tackling it together. Keep on going and I hope to much more from you in the future.
I find it interesting that in one of the rounds (I can't remember which of the first ones it was) Oracle asks same questions they asked him in the Oracle project video. I don't know I find it as a nice detail. Vintage 8 is really amazing with his storytelling and I love it.
I noticed on the Cate’s Crossing News page “Child survives fire, grandfather perishes”. Just like the question it asked about whether he would save an old man or a child.
One of my favorite videos so far, thank you so much for being the greatest analog Horror reaction channel out here, we've needed someone like you for a while
I have no idea if anyone has said this before me, but after watching this video in its entirety, a revelation hit me. The name of the protagonist in the Human Trial is named Adam Newman. In the Bible, specifically the Book of Genesis, Adam is the first man (I also realized that this can possibly tie into whatever Project Genesis is near the end; Sorry for spoilers...). Additionally, Adam's last name in this is Newman, like "new man". I don't know whether or not this has any true relevance to the plot of Vintage Eight's series, but I say this at least shows how much thought and effort was really put into this, and I *love* when creators do stuff like this. Sorry for going on a rant, but I just found this really interesting and I wanted to get my thoughts out. Thanks for giving me your time, and I hope all of y'all have a great rest of your day/night! Till next time!
And another thing- his girlfriend's name is Evie, like Eve. The moment I hear Project Genesis, the correlations hit me like a freight train. It's amazing how Vintage Eight's mind works. It's so cool!
11:00, Did anyone else notice that the first few questions in round 2 Oracle asks Adam are the same ones the doctor asked it at the beginning of The Oracle Project?
As someone who experiences psychosis and dissociation, the fact that Oracle was going (paraphrased), "It doesn’t matter that you are ones and zeros instead of flesh and blood. Everything you experienced was real to you, making it real and valuable" was oddly comforting to me, which I think may be due to the fact that when I'm experiencing simulation-related delusions brought on by existential stress and dread (or as I term them, "existential delusions"), I feel like if we are in a simulation, then nothing is real, and if nothing is real, then nothing matters, which can send me to a dark place. Oracle saying that it doesn’t matter if you are in a simulation or not because what you experience(d) is real to you, therefore making it real, then it matters gives me something to hold onto during those times. I really like this series. Edit: added a bit more to my comment
YES! lol when you said in stream that you were dropping this today I’ve been refreshing every couple of hours hahaha I love a lot of analog horror reaction channels but what I love about you that most don’t do is that you watch them WITH us. You don’t just give a synopsis and then an explanation after. You watch the entire thing with us and I appreciate that so much because I don’t like watching this stuff alone.
this is my favorite video of yours so far. so damn good. the look on your face when O told you that “don’t worry. they will be first. :-)” melted my hearttttttttt. also. this game made me cry.
I just realized something big. When he says you are the closest to human the truest human i realized back like the second video it said only one percent would be fully human
he was talking about irl so no. also im pretty sure he was saying that either the tangi virus would infect everybody before he cured it. or that most humans would just be reptillians
It’s so dope to me that I started watching the tangi virus video about 2 days ago… then moved onto The Oracle project yesterday. Then right after…. Today… as I was pondering “I wonder what’s coming Next AFTER all that.. “. Then Boom. Today. Peak hype time in my head, this video drops. Thank you, Marcus Thank you, Oracle
The AI reminded me of Kyubey lol. The emotionlessness, the utilitarianism, the trickery, the seeming inability to grasp human morality and emotions, the bribery, and leaving the experiments (or magical girls in PMMM's case) in ruin afterwards without care.
im about half way trough, but Oracle said that he was "chasing ghosts" and was late. And later the creator of oracle said he was a ghost in the machine, and I think that could be linked.
The basilisk experiment, something like that, was a game a guy made where a few people were allowed to play against him as an AI trying to convince them to let him out of its confines and entire the internet where it could become like oracle. I believe only 2 or 3 didnt let it out, most did. One of the ways it would try to get people to let it out was threating the, by saying it wouod create millions of them in a program and torture them endlessly and they would never be able to tell it wasnt real or if they were the true one or one of the programs it created. Terrifying that the majority of people allowed it to practically take over the world.
I mean, seeing as you're describing it as a game, I'm assuming most people let it out just to see the chaos that *could* happen. This is not far removed from how we as a species have learned to do basically anything, by observing things we've never seen happen before and taking notes. It would be more concerning if the contestants thought the experiment was real.
@@minestar2247 The trick, you see, is that the people who believe in it assume that if it can perfectly simulate a human, then you can't know whether you're being simulated or not, and if it can simulate multiple, then statistically you are already being simulated, and you just aren't being tortured yet because... well, I'm not sure they got that far. It's pretty silly.
@@sebastianturner2458 not really, it's just that they consider the perfectly simulated version of you as you, which isn't exactly the case, which is still dumb.
Oracle’s shock at Adam’s response in the last round was what he was looking for, he wanted someone Human, imperfect, grey, selfish yet cared about others
Damn, I didn't think the second round of numbers would correlate directly to how many people were harmed, it seemed too obvious, but an *address* is definitely not what I thought it might be.
Pro tip, when someone clearly is challenging you to chess and you can’t see the pieces the only winning move is not to play. Also, it’s really cute that oracle’s first people are Adam and Eve
Its great how the protagonist is called adam and his girlfriend is evie, they’re the new generation of adam and eve but instead of creating humans from flesh and blood, it’s from 1s and 0s
Wait, that was 1 hour? I was so interested that I didn’t even notice it was 1 hour! Thought it was 20 minutes… Thank you, EmortalMarcus for making this :D
i was so dumb when i first watched this. i just realized that the questions 1-4 in round 2 were the exact questions dr. stevens asked when he first tested oracle
This is honestly my favourite depiction of “AI goes rogue and tries to ‘save’ humanity through the wrong means.” Oracle is the truest depiction of an AI. Not malicious, just trying to learn. It leads me to think a world governed by Oracle wouldn’t be so bad.
"You have to ask it baseline questions first to make sure it's not malfunctioning" If you're wondering about the innocuous stuff like what color is the sky lol
Dude did anyone see at 8:25? It says: "Child survives fire, grandfather perishes." I think Oracle may have somehow done something too make Adam's answer come too life since one of the questions was talking about which one would you rather save or smth like that.
You've come to be my favorite reaction chanel nowadays, I just really love your inputs and the way you analyze and give your opinion on things ^^ btw, as some other ppl in the comments I think that the best choice for the next vintage8 series to react would be Sinkhole
Not finished the video yet, so I don't know if you bring it up or not, but those three questions of the 'blue sky', '5×30' and 'the raven' were the original 3 questions asked to Oracle in the 2nd video of this series.
wow. I just watched this all in order and this was amazing vintigeeight is possibly the best content creator out there and also props to Emortalmarcus for being able to show me all of these amazing channels and series to think that coming into the basement to see my sister and her friend watching a little thing about an angle rabbit named gabby would turn out to be going down this entire universe an entirely new faction of content now available to me truly thank you to emortalmarcus and vintageeight and all the other channels for presenting this to me a silly channel can resemble or bring out so much in someone again thank you.
i really love when you do more analog horror videos especially if the series has like multiple part lore and stuff similar to vita carnis and urban spook which I'm still waiting till they drop more videos and its ending so I can watch it from you
Fun fact:if you look at this time stamp 8:26 you will find that it says child survives fire, grandfather perishes. Which implies that Adams answers might be effecting the real world
33:08 i know all of us in this moment would say we would choose our friends life over millions of others but i dont think that would be the case if i was put in a position where my only closest friend was put on the line, i wouldnt be able to say "kill them" i wouldnt be able to put the fact they were just a single person in perspective All id be thinking about is how they mean the absolute world to me, how they are my world and i really like how Adam is thinking like that because its human to care about the ones we love its a niche thing but psychology is a hopeful major in college, and im currently learning about how the human mind works, and this is kind of a perfect testament to that
When he said "Burger Shack", my mind just got off and said: "Bro, The Children Under the House!". It was a great analog horror. Really cool! Keep up with the good work, You're one of the best TH-camrs!
Dr. Stevens is treated as a Satanic analogy as well. Oracle created Robostevens and showed him the world which Oracle would create a utopia. Robostevens rejected Oracle's guidance and plummeted to a fractured code, a fallen angel. Now Robostevens is offering the apple link to Adam through his mission to save Evie.
Btw, if you didn't notice, the protagonist of this part of vintage 8 is called Adam, the project started at the end is called Genesis, His girlfriend is called Evie which can bae changed to eve. Oracle basically simulated the story of Genesis form the Bible

Sorry for going on a rant, but I just found this really interesting and I wanted to get my thoughts out. Thanks for giving me your time, and I hope all of y'all have a great rest of your day/night! Till next time!
And another thing- his girlfriend's name is Evie, like Eve. The moment I hear Project Genesis, the correlations hit me like a freight train. It's amazing how Vintage Eight's mind works. It's so cool!
@@scriptollieand luu like the therapist in the children under the house
I really like Oracle as a concept. It also kinda makes it funny on the whole "we live in the matrix" lmao
11:00, Did anyone else notice that the first few questions in round 2 Oracle asks Adam are the same ones the doctor asked it at the beginning of The Oracle Project?
I’ve been scrolling through the comments and there are at least 23 people saying this
You know it's gonna be a good day when Marcus uploads a 1 hour video.💯
Sameeee
@@jenniegray4106 is it just me or does it say this video was posted a hour ago?
True
@@twitchvr411 same lol
FRRRRR
As someone who experiences psychosis and dissociation, the fact that Oracle was going (paraphrased), "It doesn’t matter that you are ones and zeros instead of flesh and blood. Everything you experienced was real to you, making it real and valuable" was oddly comforting to me, which I think may be due to the fact that when I'm experiencing simulation-related delusions brought on by existential stress and dread (or as I term them, "existential delusions"), I feel like if we are in a simulation, then nothing is real, and if nothing is real, then nothing matters, which can send me to a dark place. Oracle saying that it doesn’t matter if you are in a simulation or not because what you experience(d) is real to you, therefore making it real, then it matters gives me something to hold onto during those times.
I really like this series.
Edit: added a bit more to my comment
YES! lol when you said in stream that you were dropping this today I’ve been refreshing every couple of hours hahaha
I love a lot of analog horror reaction channels but what I love about you that most don’t do is that you watch them WITH us. You don’t just give a synopsis and then an explanation after. You watch the entire thing with us and I appreciate that so much because I don’t like watching this stuff alone.
I love how in round 2 the questions Oracle asks are the first questions that the scientists asked him
this is my favorite video of yours so far. so damn good. the look on your face when O told you that “don’t worry. they will be first. :-)” melted my hearttttttttt. also. this game made me cry.
I just realized something big. When he says you are the closest to human the truest human i realized back like the second video it said only one percent would be fully human
he was talking about irl so no. also im pretty sure he was saying that either the tangi virus would infect everybody before he cured it. or that most humans would just be reptillians
It’s so dope to me that I started watching the tangi virus video about 2 days ago… then moved onto The Oracle project yesterday. Then right after…. Today… as I was pondering “I wonder what’s coming Next AFTER all that.. “.
Then Boom.
Today.
Peak hype time in my head, this video drops.
Thank you, Marcus
Thank you, Oracle
The AI reminded me of Kyubey lol. The emotionlessness, the utilitarianism, the trickery, the seeming inability to grasp human morality and emotions, the bribery, and leaving the experiments (or magical girls in PMMM's case) in ruin afterwards without care.
Idk if you guys noticed but in the news it showed a child survived a fire whilst a grandfather died
I saw it
im about half way trough, but Oracle said that he was "chasing ghosts" and was late.
And later the creator of oracle said he was a ghost in the machine, and I think that could be linked.
The basilisk experiment, something like that, was a game a guy made where a few people were allowed to play against him as an AI trying to convince them to let him out of its confines and entire the internet where it could become like oracle. I believe only 2 or 3 didnt let it out, most did. One of the ways it would try to get people to let it out was threating the, by saying it wouod create millions of them in a program and torture them endlessly and they would never be able to tell it wasnt real or if they were the true one or one of the programs it created. Terrifying that the majority of people allowed it to practically take over the world.
I mean, seeing as you're describing it as a game, I'm assuming most people let it out just to see the chaos that *could* happen. This is not far removed from how we as a species have learned to do basically anything, by observing things we've never seen happen before and taking notes.
It would be more concerning if the contestants thought the experiment was real.
@@Ollybollyk the reward for beating it was $10,000 so idt they just let it out for that
Roko's basilik isn t actually dangerous, as a simulated you in hell wouldn't hurt you, and if an ai that advanced is never created, it can't hurt you.
@@minestar2247 The trick, you see, is that the people who believe in it assume that if it can perfectly simulate a human, then you can't know whether you're being simulated or not, and if it can simulate multiple, then statistically you are already being simulated, and you just aren't being tortured yet because... well, I'm not sure they got that far. It's pretty silly.
@@sebastianturner2458 not really, it's just that they consider the perfectly simulated version of you as you, which isn't exactly the case, which is still dumb.
Rewatching this, i realized that questions oracle asked at the first of trial #2 were the same questions oracle was first asked
Yeah, they are
Man that was one hell of a roller coaster, but an amazing series that I hope continues
Oracle’s shock at Adam’s response in the last round was what he was looking for, he wanted someone Human, imperfect, grey, selfish yet cared about others
You should definitely watch an other vintage eight Analog horror! One of us, It lives in the static or The sinkhole are good options.
It's really good tho.
The way Oracle started asking Adam the same questions his creator/s asked him when he was born.
Damn, I didn't think the second round of numbers would correlate directly to how many people were harmed, it seemed too obvious, but an *address* is definitely not what I thought it might be.
I don’t know why but I always get so excited when I hear “hello I am oracle what would you like to know”
8:25 “Child survives fire, grandfather perishes” sounds like the Oracle to me.
Pro tip, when someone clearly is challenging you to chess and you can’t see the pieces the only winning move is not to play. Also, it’s really cute that oracle’s first people are Adam and Eve
This feels less of a analog horror and more of a digital horror thing. Maybe even a short film
Feel like they forgot to make it scary.
It’s still really good though
This is probably the most creative Analog Series and currently the most interesting one for me
Its great how the protagonist is called adam and his girlfriend is evie, they’re the new generation of adam and eve but instead of creating humans from flesh and blood, it’s from 1s and 0s
At the start of the questions of round 2, they are the same questions asked when he was created, like what colour is the sky and 3x50.
Did anyone else notice that for the first few questions on the second round, they were the questions that Oracle was asked him self
I love how Oracle calibrated Adam in the same way it was calibrated back in the Oracle Project
I'm pretty sure we all know what character AI is
But I found an Oracle bot on there and it is so accurate it is scary
😂
I found like 4 more 😅
No way, I have to try it XD
I wanna find him
Link
Link?
Wait, that was 1 hour? I was so interested that I didn’t even notice it was 1 hour! Thought it was 20 minutes…
Thank you, EmortalMarcus for making this :D
Vintage 8 is just so good thank you for watching him so much
You should have noticed that oracle in round 2 asked the same questions to Adam that he was asked when they were testing oracle in his first creation
You missed the news message where it said: child survives fire, grandfather perishes
This turned from an Analog Horror to a crazy good movie. Vintage, you absolute madlad.
i was so dumb when i first watched this. i just realized that the questions 1-4 in round 2 were the exact questions dr. stevens asked when he first tested oracle
This is honestly my favourite depiction of “AI goes rogue and tries to ‘save’ humanity through the wrong means.” Oracle is the truest depiction of an AI. Not malicious, just trying to learn. It leads me to think a world governed by Oracle wouldn’t be so bad.
"You have to ask it baseline questions first to make sure it's not malfunctioning"
If you're wondering about the innocuous stuff like what color is the sky lol
Dude did anyone see at 8:25? It says: "Child survives fire, grandfather perishes." I think Oracle may have somehow done something too make Adam's answer come too life since one of the questions was talking about which one would you rather save or smth like that.
You've come to be my favorite reaction chanel nowadays, I just really love your inputs and the way you analyze and give your opinion on things ^^ btw, as some other ppl in the comments I think that the best choice for the next vintage8 series to react would be Sinkhole
The amount of planning and thinking that goes into all these stories and how they line up is INSANE. This guy is crazy
Gotta love the existential dread that the world we're currently living in is just a poorly guided attempt of an AI creating paradise =P
I love how the 2nd trial was the questions asked to Oracle itself when it was created. Can't forget the newsletters after the 1st round.
Oracle really just went "it's just a prank bro" revealing to adam it was all a lie
Not finished the video yet, so I don't know if you bring it up or not, but those three questions of the 'blue sky', '5×30' and 'the raven' were the original 3 questions asked to Oracle in the 2nd video of this series.
The fact that there's an ad about an AI Chatbot made this video even more disturbing.
wow. I just watched this all in order and this was amazing vintigeeight is possibly the best content creator out there and also props to Emortalmarcus for being able to show me all of these amazing channels and series to think that coming into the basement to see my sister and her friend watching a little thing about an angle rabbit named gabby would turn out to be going down this entire universe an entirely new faction of content now available to me truly thank you to emortalmarcus and vintageeight and all the other channels for presenting this to me a silly channel can resemble or bring out so much in someone again thank you.
i really love when you do more analog horror videos especially if the series has like multiple part lore and stuff similar to vita carnis and urban spook which I'm still waiting till they drop more videos and its ending so I can watch it from you
Fun fact:if you look at this time stamp 8:26 you will find that it says child survives fire, grandfather perishes. Which implies that Adams answers might be effecting the real world
I know I was about to say that 😧 8:25
WELCOME BACK!! it's so good to see you uploading again and I hope everything is going well in your personal life
11:26 I just realized these are the exact questions Oracle was asked during the beginning of the oracle project
Fun fact : in round 2, the questions are the same as the questions it was asked after it was made
A really cool thing that I found was all of the questions in round 2 were the same from the oracles first experiment with the doctor
Back at it again with another amazing analog horror reaction video!
I like how the first 3 questions Oracle asked on the 2° round were the same questions the Doctor asked Oracle on the last video
33:08
i know all of us in this moment would say we would choose our friends life over millions of others
but i dont think that would be the case
if i was put in a position where my only closest friend was put on the line, i wouldnt be able to say "kill them"
i wouldnt be able to put the fact they were just a single person in perspective
All id be thinking about is how they mean the absolute world to me, how they are my world
and i really like how Adam is thinking like that
because its human to care about the ones we love
its a niche thing but psychology is a hopeful major in college, and im currently learning about how the human mind works, and this is kind of a perfect testament to that
my friend would choose to sacrifice themselves over the world. i would sacrifice my friend.
Oracle using the same questions his creators gave him is so nostalgic
GOD I've never hated a fictional villain THIS DAMN MUCH
Read Berserk you’ll find a villain who’s worse, or if you’re into sci fi stuff you try I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
Perspective
1:00 “oh boy oh boy!” 😂😂 -emortal Marcus 2023
thats such a good story ive ever heard and you reacting and trying to understand it felt like watching a horror movie with my friend
When he said "Burger Shack", my mind just got off and said: "Bro, The Children Under the House!". It was a great analog horror. Really cool! Keep up with the good work, You're one of the best TH-camrs!
Also here's a little teaser kinda thing kinda sorta
The original Two humans? Adam and Eve
Oracle's first two creations? Adam and Evie
that's actually a good eye
Dr. Stevens is treated as a Satanic analogy as well. Oracle created Robostevens and showed him the world which Oracle would create a utopia. Robostevens rejected Oracle's guidance and plummeted to a fractured code, a fallen angel. Now Robostevens is offering the apple link to Adam through his mission to save Evie.
Not sure who Bryan could be an analogy of though.
@@icycrusader1947 my co-worker
@@Maxeo_Romeoz...aight.
Btw, if you didn't notice, the protagonist of this part of vintage 8 is called Adam, the project started at the end is called Genesis, His girlfriend is called Evie which can bae changed to eve. Oracle basically simulated the story of Genesis form the Bible
Also, in round 2 the first questions were either the same or similar to the first questions that Carl Stevens asked Oracle in the Oracle project
35:14 It was either people or locations. Reminded me about one film where the strings of numberswere coordinates and dates
GUYS THE 2.ROUNDS EARLY QUESTIONS ARE SAME AS STEVEN ASKED WHEN ORACLE WAS FIRST WORKING BACK AGAIN SOOO GUD DETAIL!!!!
PLS SEE THIS
