      If you check the description you can see the whole team of people that worked on this video and it doesn’t really say his name on any of the credits. I think at this point he might just be doing the voiceover and directing. JaidenAnimations is about the same way I think.

      @@KeWDu yeah, its kinda sad bc I think that odd1sout's essence is gone. The essence was that theodd1sout actually drew the videos. Now that he has a team of 32530513285905123980 people, odd1sout looks more like a brand rather than a youtube story teller animator

      @@ircusing9875 I mean, dudes already made it big. It’s not practical to devote that much time and effort into animating a full video by yourself or even with a small team, when you make so much money to just relax and hire people to help. It’s hard to argue that the quality of his older videos would compare with this one. And even if he’s not directly involved in animating, just putting out the content to share with us is probably enough fulfillment for James and Jaiden. I know what you’re saying but I feel like if I were in their shoes I’d probably do the same thing.

      @@ircusing9875 that’s an incredibly cynical way of looking at things. He’s got a devoted team of hardworking animators like himself, so that he’s not under ungodly amounts of stress and pressure.

    James, that was a fun, informative, and comedic video essay... As a 90s kid myself (born May 95), I grew up on that annoying grinding sound of the modem connecting to your landline to connect to AOL. But it was worth it to hear that "you got mail" in the end. The Internet is different than what it was 20 years ago. It changed for both the better......and unfortunately, the worse. But we as a collective people need to weed out the negative and make the positive thrive.

    I'm a Gen Z kid born in 2001 and this video really hit me with some sweet nostalgia. Pinball and that free form ms paint is so relatable. I used to be so proud of having 256 kbps and 10 GB per month along with carry forward of the left out data. Using torrent to download movies which would take days on end and then finally watching it. Being dazzled by the visualizer in the windows media player. watching the screensaver continuously to see if it hits the corner.
    As the internet evolved in the late 2000s, I remember playing webcam games with my friends which were so fun and felt like the technology from the future when you could just hit and control players with your body movements. The era when justin bieber released baby was also one to cherish. Playing club penguin with my friends day and night. Using a fake birthday to create a facebook account and then coming home after school to chat with my homies.
    Damn! Simple days are the sweetest memories.

Dialup was so painful - watching a website load LINE BY LINE, only to have someone need to use the phone just as it fully loaded. Spending time off the internet was also accomplished by cereal box games - boy do I miss those.

    I always played this game and minefield. I was so used to the pinball that I remember a slow saturday evening when I had to go to my parent's job and I was able to make more than 1 hour with a single run (I gained some bonus balls, I don't remember how). Even my father was impressed! This meant that my father also played pinball during slower days at the job.
