Been listening to Coconuts over and over since release day. It’s absolutely my shit. Would love to put it on a physical release. Hit me up sometime.

[@michellefernandez3155]

so you share every single link but no a link to check the disc? Damn.

[@GEBIRGE]

Cocodeeznuts is such a great album, it's the only thing I've been listening to since release. Thanks a lot!

Wait, are you saying Adolf Nomura is you?

[@eXtremeLink859]

@@r15835 ye THH and Adolf Nomura are the same, I think Thor's just abandoned the Nomura name at this point tho

[@jamilfrost6217]

I miss they days of when demos felt special and an event. like peeking into a curtain of all the wonders the game could offer you.

[@ilypo]

most of them also had a ton of exclusive content that didnt make it into the final product

[@mikeyder344]

My favorite was the saints row demo accidentally having the full map accessible

[@mikeyder344]

And the hidden Xbox disc demos

[@IdiotRace]

@@ilypo I really regret getting rid of my ps1 demo discs. Just the stuff like the net yaroze games that people made was cool. And yea a lot of the times the demos were very early versions compared to the release one.

[@reanukeeves1164]

​@@mikeyder344same with Skate demo.

[@Stevofaves]

I was 27 minutes in when I realized... Thor FINALLY LABELLED THE GAMES! He didn't just start showing it while MAYBE mentioning the name in an off hand bitted way that made it almost impossible to figure out what the fuck he was actually playing, which was literally my only problem I ever had with these videos! Holy shit, yes! Yes! Thank you Thor!

[@MrWatchAndwatch]

I just wish he'd bring the subtle OST cards back for the music he uses in these viddies😭

[@Bane_Amesta]

Character development at its finest lol, but yeah, thanks Thor :D

[@rhettoric5796]

Never mentioned enough. The greatest crime any of these video essayist KZbinrs could ever do is fail to display the references to ppl who don't know.

[@bloodblues85]

Hey, who cares? ...Nah, imjkdawg. But I never mind much. I prefer to just let the High-Heeled man do his thing. (PS: I wonder what pronouns the Thor prefers...🤔)

[@Stevofaves]

@@bloodblues85 Hey, Thor's one of my favourite youtubers, more mad style than the rest of em put together. I'm just really happy that I don't have to scrub back and forth so I can go look up these games and figure out where to play them myself haha

[@AJ-po6up]

I really miss PS1 demos, they were the bomb, and many of us played these games for hundred of hours before playing the full games heck there's games I played in demo discs that I never played their full versions, what a magical and nostalgic time.

[@MiBrCo4177]

MGS1 demo disc paved the way for me to beat the first part of that in the full game with no deaths, alerts and everything else that made me beat the game in a day lol.

[@josemwarrior]

one point for the I almost broke the demo disc playing on these games that I never touch in their full versions

[@gamefam5940]

we also recently found an old ps2 demo disc and it was an ...interesting?! experience xD. I also remember a ps one demo disc we had with mediEvil and Tomba

[@GeorgeL909]

Dude I busted out laughing several times throughout this video. The cat screaming, the "American commercial" the uk playstation thing. The Russian krypto. There's all these like few seconds long bits densely packed that just crack me up. You either found my comedy kryptonite or I'm just overly exhausted and going delusional... Or both.

[@novelezra]

I literally had this demo disk as a kid and I played it constantly. That cover art is permanently seared into my mind and seeing it again on this video has given me a profound sense of melancholy; time is a horrible demon.

[@Harmonicporkalator]

Nice PFP lol

[@novelezra]

@@Harmonicporkalator W-What the fuck...

[@Harmonicporkalator]

​@@novelezraJust don't think about it too hard, or as a matter of fact at all really.

[@wolfrox777]

Demos disappearing for most games is some kind of sick joke. I like the indie game demo thing Steam did a few months ago. I wish that was more of a thing.

[@DMurcielago]

Demos are coming back in a big way this gen.. well its late but i'm seeing it more. And im for it.

[@DMurcielago]

Digitally at least

[@ArtofWEZ]

There are a ton now, it's just harder for open world, for those they allow timed trials of full games in most cases on stuff like PS premium which is same price as demo discs back in day. Steam also lets you return things and is soon to have dedicated time trials.

[@miguelneves6118]

What the... This is the demo disc I played trough my childhood, this demo is one of the most nostalgic memories I have, everything about it is special to me, even the video that plays if you wait too long without touching any buttons, and the poster it came with, I still have it on my wall, thank you for making a video about this.

[@heyyyitsjosh]

My friend, I am going through a terrible crisis right now and you have no idea how much light your videos shine into my soul at such a dark time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@Liminal-Escalator]

I hope that things turn around for you. Don't let fear or worries take up your consciousness or energy, or lose too much focus on the things that mean something to you. The world and mind can be a heaven or hell... Fight the bad by putting your energy into anything that has a positive connection for you. And a little venting can be good too. Keeping busy sometimes, and some moments of silence to recharge.

[@daisukegori2112]

Be strong brother. Focus on building yourself up.

[@adekvatnii]

I really enjoy just vibing to your videos. Not fully understanding what you are saying or meaning. Just watching cool visuals and listening to chill sounds and enjoying your smooth, nice voice, it just makes me relax and happy. Love you, man. Keep doing whatever you do!

[@themagicweedbus1319]

truer words have never been spoken!!

[@chemergency]

I always loved Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time. It was the first ever video game my dad bought just for me and the game's visual appeal is amplified when you're just a four-year old and enjoy colorful cartoon-type stuff.

[@lostuser6410]

I feel the same way about culture differences in products/design trends. I think it’s fascinating how a person can enjoy something mainly because they just grew up in a society it was popular in. A good example is Japan and JRPGs and Brazil with Sonic the hedgehog. If any of that makes sense lol

[@Leo.Dhas.]

Brazil? That's interesting...

[@dtbigman]

I'm like 99% sure I had this demo disc as a kid but I have no clue how or why I had it, what an odd little novelty to run into again after like 20+ years Another excellent video, the gag at 7:05 got me good

[@IronBabyFists]

Subtle. I dig it

[@greyspeight8776]

Damn bruh is actually in the top five best artist I've listened to in the last two years. An aesthetic grand master.

[@shitlordfm3345]

love your videos man! you have such a funny and informative style. So glad to be catching up on your backlog after a year!

[@Tudsworth]

the PS1 era game magazine covers were 100% on point. I had a stack of the UK Official PlayStation magazines and the covermount discs had more value than the actual paper.

[@IronBabyFists]

Destrega is one of those I've always loved, but I've never met another person in person who has any idea what I'm talking about. Also, somewhere in the there I got a second disk, so since I have it twice I can play both at once and talk to myself about it like I'm two people having a conversation about it. Cool video, man 👍

[@BorkHammer40k]

Loved the PS1 demo discs. Getting Pizza Hut and a demo disc was peak 90s. I had three that stand out in my mind - one that I'm assuming must have been a pack in with the console that included a demo for Ray Storm, some submarine/diving game I can't remember the name of, IQ, Armored Core, and a bunch of videos. The other discs I had included demos for Gran Turismo, Crash 3, Tony Hawk, Ape Escape, Final Fantasy 8, Medi-Evil, Tomb Raider, and... maybe Cool Boarders? Too bad I never had a Dual Shock 1 for Ape Escape... Maybe it's my autistic tendencies, but I always loved the demo discs having a bunch of random *stuff* to check out and do without having to fuss with much. Not needing to change discs but still getting to experience a bunch of different games in a convenient package usually featuring hella slick presentation... They, just like the 90s, were a vibe and we'll probably never get back there, but at least we have these awesome memories and awesome people to reminisce about them with.

[@samhein321]

The diving game is most likely "Treasures from the deep"

[@Anthony-bq9kf]

Holy shit. You have no idea how long I've been looking for Destrega! I had that demo disc as a kid but I could never remember what it was called. I even scoured an archive of jampack demo disc's to try to find but nothing! Thank you for finding this.

[@MrTriple6]

Your videos are the best. They make me feel enveloped in the content, engaged, and very entertained. ❤

[@Danimal4114]

Oh, that Demo Disc is safe in my collection of older PSX games! The way I got it I think was when my parents bought the console and the shop just gave the disc as a bonus. It also gave me a certain love for janky platform-games like Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time! Thank you for bringing some very fond memories back to me, love your work!

[@samwill7259]

Modern games don't put too much of a focus on demos because they don't want to call attention to the fact that the glitchy, broken, unfinished version is identical in every way to the one they shipped on launch day.

Hearing that the menu music of the demo disc that came with the console unlocked some core memories

[@sungazercyan]

Despite never having played any of the Wipeout games as a child (too busy with the sad Beyblade game and fuckign Nanosaur) my first ever experience with house music was picking up the Wipeout 2097 OST (or Wipeout XL in my region) at my neighbour's garage sale which definitely formed a lot of my music taste as a kid. Probably wasn't nearly as influential in Canada as it was in Europe but still mindblowing as a kid who's sole exposure to music was 2000s radio rock and whatever had the coolest album art at the thrift store

[@ashbelero7726]

Watching this video gave me such a visceral feeling of gross nostalgia. Meaning the only person who owned a PS1 when I was growing up was my grandfather and whenever we visited, they'd let us crowd around the upstairs TV and play PS1 instead of spending any time with our relatives. He owned a copy of Croc and a copy of Motor Toon Grand Prix 2. Those were the only ones the kids were allowed to play. I remember them being so weird and foreign to me because we only had Nintendo at our house and these games had almost a weird panic-inducing strangeness to them that was only made worse by the odd, rubbery controller sticks. I never actually understood why Croc was so hard to navigate and why moving him felt like learning how to walk all over again, until Thor said "tank controls". I didn't know what tank controls were back then, I'd never played a game with them. No wonder that game haunts my dreams.

[@crashtefano]

I owned this demo disc since my early PSOne days and it's still one of my favorite demo discs ever. A big part of my childhood.

[@Hallkardia]

Yes! This is how I like the end of a long dong day of work! Thankies Mr. Thor

[@riccardoman7620]

I honestly cannot find a game channel as unique as yours.

It was the full disc 1/4 of the game. You could save. I grinded that last area to the limite. By the time i got the full game i had over 100hours in my save 😂.

4th grade 1996 our class always got to do whatever the final hour of Fridays, and this demo disk+ a new fangled ps1 (for that time) was an option for us. I remember some ridiculous live action reenactment educational trivia games we would sometimes play as a class.

I remember this demo disc! I think the home screen was a bit different in the US but Croc & Destrega just dumping you in w/ no context made it stick in my mind 20 something years later. Your _Mysterious 3D Fighters_ video was 10/10 all around I binge your longer vids for sleep sometimes 🥰 19:20 AYO they reall took Pai Chan (Virtua Fighter) and mansplained her model til her pigtails shrunk and her TriBiceps grew. I mean peep the outfit/hair/HAT/color scheme like I know VF1 def came out before this thing, but what about VF2? Can they blame the first game's ruthless polygon models & say they're so hard to read it couldn't possibly be based on her?

The main theme from Destrega is one of my favourite pieces of music in all of video games.
