Dark Master is 35 years old now
Otpez matt
Holy shit lol Hats off to the man for being the star of what is now one of the best online service.
@@johnnyblaze9874 lol sure. Are we forgetting that pc exists
How do you know that??
No 38 now
God the 2000s were awesome.
+GameCube Rocks i know i had gameclube online
Saiyuki2o4 & Xbox Live is still awesome
+Saiyuki2o4 No it's the 2010s he's talking about the decade
It was a truly awesome time!
@@thenostalgic9836 PS2 had online
notice that the word "PAY" never leaves his lips when he mentions about "downloadable content" that's the way it should have fuckin' stayed,
I can't believe the dialogue between DarkMaster and TheHunk is more realistic than the Ubisoft promo player dialogue like a decade later.
Ikr lol
So after 17 years. This ad is way better than the current gaming console ads.
Over a decade ago trash-talking was encouraged
now it's possible to be banned and even arrested for it
oh how the times change :^)
+Jordan Garcia (Uber Panzerhund) except for COD
That's because people could:
A: handle it without crying over nothing
B: people understood that they were talking to ACTUAL people, as it was still new and they weren't desensitized to the overload of being "hidden", or "unknown".
That and people could take some friendly smack talking.
That is so true it's bullshit now we can't do it

SO TRUE DAW
The early 2000s, where everything had fish-eye and copied the style of The Matrix and Blade 2.
But is that a bad thing
@@Hellraiser988 not at all, my friend.
I miss it
Some say The Hunk is still muted to this very day.
meth0d lol
Don't forget Oil Slick.
meth0d But..........he talks in the next scene. :(
Fun fact: dark master is still on Xbox live till this day and he is about 35!
The reason why seeing this was so awesome was because this was a new thing that no one has seen before on consoles. I know the PlayStation 2 and GameCube had online games, but the way Microsoft did their online service was something at the time.
Lsega Dreamcast had legit online multiplayer. Not just that, it was cross platform, I played unreal and quake 3 against pc players.
Yes Xbox live and halo revolutionized gaming with online gaming and made gaming what it is today. people can shit on Xbox all they like but they at least have to acknowledge what the og xbox did for gaming
Golden age of online gaming.
Botheredhat360 that's dumb. Internet is faster now than before.
Lol
This was the golden age of gaming period
way before warzone trash
@@gam3xhazard89 yeah Warzone not trash bruh
R.I.P. Xbox Live 2002-2010 :(
This video is a relic
Look at the fish eye lense
How he talks
It feels so early 2000's
that broadband CGI is something you would only see in the 2000's. i miss those times.
Come to think of it. When’s the last time you heard someone use the term broadband???
And select your country
Lol
Yo I saw this as soon he said it
This shit was way ahead of it's time in my opinion. Underrated console.
Its not
@@emiliabonilla5423 yes it was
Sega stayed ahead of its time. Look up Sega Tv
Microsoft at its most competitive
@@emiliabonilla5423 The console was miles ahead of its time in every aspect. The hardware crushed it's rivals systems. and online multiplayer was state of the art when released.
The 2000s nostalgia you won't find in a compilation
I was that guy that drove backwards in a motogp beta online game, crash into other people head on. Good times.
I remember watching this on my XBox when I was six and was really bummed out because my family was too poor to afford Live. The nostalgia is overwhelming.
Dude, same here! Watched these as if they were a documentary series on an alien species who were not as poor as I. This was the closest I could get to experience Xbox live back when it wasn't completely anti consumer/gamer
@@Punished_TrumpMonthly paid multiplayer is already anti consumer enough. PC never had such bs even though it is best for multiplayer games.
Hi. I’m Matt. But you can call me
DARK.
MASTER.
Sent a friend request to Darkmaster and he declined it. Lol!
Sane to me
Poor guy gets friend requests every 10 minutes
TukumiZumkiGaming my father is one of his friends he was a beta tester back in 2000 the account he used is now used by my sister but the gamer tag he used was "Shakain"
TukumiZumkiGaming haaaaas
4:06 as you can see it's "Dark Master" u misspelled it silly
Things like this is history now and kinda makes you want to back in those days
We need to have this guy make a updated introduction video for Insignia Live.
Yes!!!
I remember watching the hell out of this when I got my Xbox when it came out. I was like 12 or 13 getting mad I wasn’t old enough to work so I could get online and play. Wish they’d bring back being able to play online on the og Xbox 😢 I still got one and would love to experience what it was like back then.
Insignia Live is a free Xbox Live 1.0 replacement for both softmodded hardmodded and stock Original Xbox consoles
What was cool back then was that everybody had a headset and most were around the same age. I made a couple of online friends back in the day and we would play halo daily. Good times.
12 month free!!!...Now a days you would be lucky enough to get a 2 day free membership.
Theres a good difference between old MS and new M$
Actually there was 2 month and now 2 day
Lol Microsoft has always been cutthroat. That's the difference between a new service that needs users and an established service.
Pointtakenbrah sony ist the samd
It should just be free, period, tbh.
If i had a time machine, i'd travel back to 2000 and live through the 2000's all over again
I remember still having dial-up when this shit came out. Had to upgrade to.....wait for it.....DSL! Holy crap, I remember wiring that shit up in the middle of the night on release day for Halo 2 and plugging in my Halo 2 headset into the controller.......oh the days gone by.
5:30 they actually encouraged trash talking. Now you get banned for it......Times have changed.
help ive been locked in a basement chained up and hes been making me watch this for 3 months
Visible concern*
Bring back voice masking Xbox!!
nah, bring back xbox live for the original xbox.
DuccSucc you are stupid
@@twin10broter no YOUR STUPID
Man 2000s were the best, but I hope to relive the experience with project insignia, im also just trying to spread the word for all of us players
Yeah I know, but unfortunately, gaming is dead in general. I'm so fortunate and lucky to have experienced the golden age of gaming and Xbox (2006-2013)
@@jacobh7188 yeah the 2000s to 2013 were the last best days of gaming unfortunately when it came to 2014 alongside the other years everything went downhill Bad games Bad everything I miss my fun days.
@@n1njahawkssecondchannel84 in 2014, we see all the bad call of duty games come out, 3 years later have a game called fortnite and all the teens think its the best game ever, but to me, the best game may be halo 2, the 1 online game that introduced how we play today
@@lashingrook7168 Yeah nothing beats 2000s to 2013 I miss everything. speaking about an awesome game I’m playing one now LEGO Indiana Jones 1
@@lashingrook7168 Insignia is still in the works
1:46 Getting connected is my most favorite part of the whole process! For a very long time since I was young in the 2000s, computer networking/networking has always been fascinating to me!
I have dial-up. Is this going to stop me from connecting to the online world, dankmaster?
now i want a original xbox and xbox live
Haha you’d be the only one on there
@@patwaddington sad but very true
@@patwaddingtoninsignia
Man this sounded amazing, even they knew trash talking was a thing
I miss original xbox live :(
why
AaronFUSION VX Was simpler, 90% free DLC plus games were not as big an install, and also Original Xbox controllers were the best the small ones, and also classics
You can actually use XLink to play online on Original Xbox Live
There’s a project called Insignia Live that is bringing it back
back when dlc was free :(
But there are some DLC on Xbox 360 & Xbox ONE has free DLC packs
Name few.
Except for horse armor
Nigga what you mean you posted this comment back then😂😂
xbox/ps2 era games almost never had dlcs either rerelases or expansion pack but the second one was pretty rare .
3:35 "The Legend you build"... and then years later his Gamertag ends up becoming TheLegend27.
Oh boy I remember asking my parents for 'broadband' for Christmas
Ah, the fish eye lens... the 2000s were a charismatic time.
Just looked this guy up, he has a Gamescore of 8850.
This brings back memories. I was 8/9 and I didn’t understand computers or how to connect to the internet with my Xbox and I just remember thinking how it was such an impossible task to get online because I didn’t actually understand what any of the terms meant and just guessed how to fix things when the configuration didn’t work. Eventually I just gave up on it.
It was only until I was a bit older and the Xbox 360 came out that I finally understood how to get online and enjoy sweet online gaming.
Xbox live: you can trashtalk each other
Also xbox live: you have been suspended
Legend has it that The Hunk can still talk about cheese, if you want.
Damn, the 2000s nostalgia hits so deep here. Lol
Never before has a more accurate Wisconsin stereotype existed. As a fellow Wisconsinite, I can also speak Cheese.
“You will never be left without an online game to play.”
**laughs in Xbox 360 Orange Box TF2 matchmaking**
Gotta love these old school demo discs!
This brings back so many memories way back when going to my friends house to play on his Xbox playing halo 1 for hours on end doing missions and a ton of multiplayer
The most 2002 video ever
10 years of the xbox live only in 10mintues
When life was simpler.
I wish i was a teen in 00's.
this takes me back
Legends say he is still playing
My man is still playing till this day
OMG this takes me way back i have this disc but my xbox is broken so i cant play it. I used to watch it all the time. I remember setting up xbox live for the first time it was soo epic!
"we know you're out there dad" had more weight than i think they intended it to
I occasionally come back to this video from time to time since it's no only an interesting way to see how much Xbox Live & by extension Online Multiplayer has changed over the years but because it's a 2004 time capsule too.
If you slow down the spinning, fast-paced footage at 1:34, you can see that the fish eye lens B-roll was shot inside an EBGames. Considering that EBGames, GameStop/Babbages & Barnes & Noble were all under the same company at this time, I suspect this was one of those giant EBGames next to a Barnes & Noble.
I know this since one of my friends grew up in a town that had one of these combination Gamestop/Barnes & Nobles when they were young & it looks exactly as he described it from the time he went to it for the Midnight Launch of the Nintendo DSi (which was a few years after 2004 but still new at that time). It's sad that after GameStop & Barnes & Noble split, both companies faced financial hardship & as a result, the store my friend went to doesn't exist anymore. Same goes for EBgames since that's mostly used as the name of GameStop locations in places like Canada & Australia now.
7:04 when your step sister gets stuck in the dryer
welcome back
This is nostalgic
20 years of Xbox Live
20 years ago that's when we had Xbox Live for the first time
Since we're now in 2022
Xbox4life
The old Xbox Live is back, service provided for free by INSIGNIA
@@Kit_Bear awesome bruv
Xbox4life
Xbox live guests should still exist to this day
Back in the day when Xbox and PS2 were going at it in the good days of the console wars, But most people know that both of those consoles had killed off the Sega Dreamcast
Lagoon don't forget the GameCube
Yeah but Playstation gave you free online, free DVD player capability and free games through the post, I got "Hardware Online Arena" It was awesome.
He said trash talk but I get banned for that
this just took me back in the good old days of this xbox. I love the games these days but hey that dosent mean i gotta stop loving the old skool games i still fucking love like mechassault, kakuto chojin and Deathrow
Dark Master is 40 now, damn....
Thanks this video was really helpful
The name "Dark Master" would never fly nowadays.
May was probably like 22, now he’s 44. Let that sink in for a moment.
I seriously missed out on the old Xbox Live. Man if I had the chance I'd play that when it was popular
Insignia is bringing back the old Xbox live
Is that tmartn' solder brother?
I just friended him and said a dark day for dark master and all his friends are (offline)
Ah. So his name is Matt. I never knew that, as it was never brought up on the Xbox Live trailer that came with Blinx. (The one where they all play the unreleased beta of Revolt's Xbox port) What is Matt doing these days?
This is history
Came with mech assault and a headset with the headset card adapter thing when i got mine. Halo ce came out before xbox live so when halo 2 came out, it was the golden age for me. I also played counter strike for a change of pace but plays halo 2 for years. And im kinda playing right now
Probably the best invention/service ever created and i think that ever will.
I actually watched this all the way through
They should've had Dark Master introduce the MN-740 Xbox wireless-g adapter in 2003 when it came out then so that more people could've known about Wi-Fi connection between the console and the router earlier on and invest in one in case you had the console in a room beyond the reach of a router.
Wow, I didn't know there was an original Xbox wireless adapter.
@@kayivey83 Yep, a Wi-Fi to ethernet and ethernet to Wi-Fi adapter/bridge with Wi-Fi 2.4ghz b/g only. Configurable from the Xbox console, but no longer configurable from a computer I don't think.
Xbox was so edgy, wow
Moogi Beans the entirety of the early 2000s were “edgy”
better then now
@@ericahmed8831 This comment connected with me spiritually
@@ericahmed8831 This comment connected with me spiritually
@@nayru1855 and back when you didnt even know what edgy means so these people were cool to you
He should promote Insignia when it launches here soon. Currently we're beta testing
I remember begging my mom to buy me the starter kit that came with crimson skies.. But we didnt have broadband.. Just dialup..
Omg this looks awesome, when does this come out???
About 10 years. It came out at the launch of Xbox live. Nov 2002.
Who's here after Project Insignia was announced?
WHY MICROSOFT, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SHUT XBOX LIVE ORIGINAL DOWN
Is there no xbox live for xbox?
I wanted to finally find my cable for live
(Whatever i git a 360 if that is going down i also got a xbox one
+I'm Snowman what is there to question? This is a pretty good question. Why did they have to shut it down.
Hopefully this year At E3 2016 Mircosoft will make original Xbox games compatible with the one and you can play online on the original Xbox games
yeah that will totally rock
Hope it would ever get back. Or someone else that could create an private server... must be possible
@TheZoneShowUK
I think I have a slightly longer version of this movie / disc. I worked in Virgin at the time and I got a special retailer pack which included 100 '1 month' Xbox Live codes, a free XB communicator headset, a disc which included a bunch of Live demos (and the longer movie) and a free copy of Mechassault. And yes, i'm still enjoying the benefits of those 100 month codes :D
that explosion at the end though XD
Tommrow is dark masters 39th birthday
I'm glad to see that the whole inv taking up your entire screen is gone
5:31 He knew.... HE KNEW HE HORROR OF COD LOBBIES
I remember getting an Xbox membership card at blockbuster.and picking up halo 2 as it said online enabled man I didn't regret it.
Awesome I had xbox and now I Miss it so much but I have a Xbox 360
The voice mod things would be cool if they were a thing now tbh just with upgraded things you can do
Where must this guy be now????????
(He ain't a superhero so don't get any ideas)
I bet Darkmaster loved American Pie on DVD!
Happy 10 yr anniversary!
15 year*
17 year*
25 years*
All these comments are like from 4 years ago and so go I'm from 2020 2000s we're so good
