I forgot about Shrek 2: Ogre Bowler :( - Roland Speak

[@chicofnaf7114]

Never expected a talk about lost media and preserving old stuff in a simple PC game of Shrek bowling

[@rolandspeak]

Me neither

[@BrendonStoopid]

I'm downloading this video and saving it to 3 different external hard drives and the cloud.

[@rolandspeak]

I'll release a new one with a slightly different gag in the middle.

5:33 The devs missed a huge opportunity here. 0/10 should have said “Game Ogre.”

[@rolandspeak]

That is an incredibly good point

​@@rolandspeak How does Shrek 2: Ogre Bowler looked like Polar Bowler?

[@jaqlynwithaq5408]

weirdly beautiful and serene for a review of “Shrek 2: Ogre Bowler”

[@rolandspeak]

It's what it deserved

[@MontyMoleLoreMaster]

I don’t even know what the hell the "Ogre Bowl" option is meant to mean lol.

[@rolandspeak]

If I understand correctly, that’s the mode that has items and straight bowl doesn’t. I ain’t gonna check anytime soon though

[@milkdetrop5506]

shrek bowling funny

[@rolandspeak]

No...Shrek Bowling sad

[@goldreaper4209]

Happy Halloween!

My brother and I actually played a LOT of polar bowler as kids! I could be wrong but I think it was on one of those Big Fish demo discs (if anyone remembers what those are) but yeah the big draw was that we were small children and it was A Game

[@rolandspeak]

I would not be surprised at all if it was on one of those discs. And yeah, there is still something to that experience, I just don't know what yet.

For my money, one of the biggest draws to media preservation and lost media is never what's specifically lost, but the fact it isn't readily available. "Well, I usually wouldn't care about a commercial that had George Lopez and Dora the Explorer, but now you're telling me I can't watch it? I'm gonna find it just to spite you!" It's that feeling that something is so tantalizingly close, but you just can't reach it that infuriates most people to no end, but as you said, can also be kind of beautiful in a mystical sort of way. So if nothing else, I think so many appreciate media preservation because it can give us a sense of taking the reins against the natural order of things. What once was supposed to die is given new life, and if the hunt for it is elusive enough, it will end up more popular than it ever was in its day just because one nostalgic 20-something remembered seeing it at 11:00 at night after they were supposed to go to bed. It's the journey to save it to a hard drive, not the destination of that hard drive in 50 years

[@rolandspeak]

Totally fair. I think I'm mainly experiencing "control fatigue" if that makes sense and doesn't sound pompous. Like the journey of finding and preserving the things that are interesting me is wearing me down, but maybe that's just for now.
