Your grandma looks wonderful, by the way. May she stay healthy and active.

The gilf hunter?

1:04 Is it just me or did it look like Kepler began to smile as he had a nice scritch? Absolutely fantastic to hear that you took an opportunity to go home and visit family like that.

I found an old photo in a draw from me when I was 4 years old. That was 21 years ago and what is fascinating is the fact I remember the photo being taken. I just stared at it for ages and then moved it side by side with a picture of me now and I see no resemblance. But it made me feel so nostalgic and so happy. I just love seeing old stuff like that.

[@rubyhal11317]

I have developed a weird obsession with preserving old tapes since I did some archive work for my company last year, so I would love to see the process of whatever you end up doing

[@SamTRC]

I feel like posting these to the internet or at least having a digital recording of them is a good idea, especially for stuff like the "I Am Earthbound" tape which has a lot of significance

[@MrEMC_]

This is such a nice supportive family and it always makes my heart happy to see this.

[@jimmyrcg4966]

The I am earthbound tape truly a legendary relic Hope you guys have fun going through those tapes!

[@HotaruHikai]

I know they're not VCR tapes, but this does seem like something Alex would be interested in.

[@NYBredBamaFed]

Perhaps digitizing that old footage and putting it on the Internet in some fashion (such as a site like Internet Archives or even a KZbin channel devoted to your old footage would be a good idea.

[@AnnaZverina]

Stephen has a defunct channel of old projects called Stephen's Basement. Not sure if the password to that still exists, but that could be a good place.

[@AbuOmar]

Between you and Ninttendo Caprisun you're among the few who have actual tapes with vlogs from back in the day.

[@kbh95207]

I’d be almost certain Cory Williams (aka Mr. Safety) has old videos most likely on physical media if some sort from his earlier days on YT. Maybe even AngryAussie

[@salamisofdragons4597]

Those tapes might be fun to give to Alex for Golden VCR. Maybe one or two but I'm not sure he has what he needs for those exactly. Maybe after you get all the footage off them.

[@romajimamulo]

Really hope you digitize and back those up

I would never have saved that stuff, I am always so shy about my old creative endeavors lol, you're a braver man than I am.

[@YourPalRal]

My younger cousin found his dad's old camera and old tapes that he filmed throughout the years. Both my cousin and I have the means to digitize those tapes and it's very exciting to see old footage, some of it being stuff from my childhood! We even found some footage that I showed off at my other uncle's 50th anniversary!

[@jcjx]

I did bigyawn at 2:10, and 5:06. Yawns are so contagious. Anyone else did? 😂 Looking forward to seeing some of those old footage if you'd like to share them!😊

[@Skathacat0r]

I'd like to see I Am Earthbound uploaded in 720p60 (because KZbin doesn't support interlacing or 480p60). For backups, I'd probably recommend something like M-DISC.

[@Easowell]

To this day I would still like to see some of the videos you would make around the neighborhood! 😂

[@austinzgifford]

New Channel??? StephenArchive? For the stuff you would want to be on the internet?

[@Skathacat0r]

Perhaps Stephen's Basement (@xfisjmg1) may be appropriate for stuff like that.

[@Bammer2001]

Why, Stephen, how open has your family been to you pursuing your dream in vlogging and YouTubing by now? 😊

[@r.j.etrogames]

An idea popped into my head, could be good, could be bad, but what if for some tapes (like the 16th birthday) you turned them into vlogs of their own? You could do like "Day -1042" or something if you had the actual date of the recording.

[@sslegend5219]

I think Stephen did that with some vhs tapes he digitized several years ago IIRC.

[@AnthonySmith-bj9mo]

hi StephenVlog

[@CardinalBirbRose]

[@terminatorvgcc41]

Hi Stephen, When will you be releasing the Japanese vlogs?

[@circlenowsquared]

There's no exact date set. Once he catches up on these vlogs they are more likely to be released sooner!
