[@ageekofalltrades]

Just a heads up: you said anti-communist, but it's supposed to be anti-consumerist. I wouldn't normally say anything, but that's a pretty glaring error.

[@Venatius]

I was confused by that. Didn't make the mental jump to "anti-consumerist" until this comment. Thank you!

[@Icalasari]

3:37 - "Almost like something out of a slasher movie" Yes, because swears are totally on the same level as somebody being disemboweled or having their head snapped off

[@CaptainXJ]

Shows how insane it is we even still have 'profanity' as a concept. Like when I watch the UFC and see a guy standing there, covered in blood, head gashed open, but lord forbid ESPN let's his say "fuck"....

[@ShenDoodles]

I think they saw it as a premonition. It feels like something Freddy Krueger would do, possessing a kids’ game to be obscene.

[@ethacade]

That reaction is so dramatic it should have been nominated for an Oscar 😂

[@catriamflockentanz]

I wonder what the person who claimed that thinks of people afflicted with Tourette...

[@XxDemon23xX]

@@CaptainXJ God forbid you write naughty words on the military equipment used to kill people.

[@Obscuritory]

Hey, Phil Salvador here! 100% the guy I emailed with was one of the RTmark people. Some folks looked into the version of the game I found and it is definitely a bug caused by slipshod programming, and then the RTmark guys took credit because that was exactly the kind of thing they wanted to do intentionally. TY for sharing the story!

[@Venatius]

Thanks for the follow-up, Mr. Salvador, as well as your contributions to preserving and remembering obscure old software!

[@princessCashel]

Thank you for sharing. I would like to know how the computer reads from the naughty list as a failsafe

[@Obscuritory]

​@@princessCashel I'm probably getting details wrong, but my understanding is: it loads your text into memory, and when you click Read a second time, it starts the process of checking your text for bad words by loading the swear filter into memory *in the same place*. Since it's taking a while to load everything, it just keeps reading from memory and goes right into the swear words.

[@princessCashel]

That would make sense because a lot of games store a bunch of stuff into memory. Thanks for the quick reply

[@slopesgameroom]

Hey Phil, it's already been said above. But a huge thanks for your contributions my friend :D this was a great story and find

[@BlackMage666]

I unironically want a Barbie with a GI Joe voicebox.

[@JargonMadjin]

Just reminded me of that stop motion/live action film Small Soldiers where Major Chip Hazard reverse-engineered a fallen soldiers computer chip to add Barbie dolls to his army, but they still spoke like Barbie while trying to kill people

[@Ensign_games]

same here.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I don't understand "un-ironically" in this situation. The way I read it, to un-ironically want a Barbie with a gi joe voicebox means that you want the Barbie so that you can play with it like any other doll. Did you make sure you used the correct wording in your statement? Or do you actually want to play with Barbie dolls like a little girl? Either one is fine with me, as long as you understand what you're saying. Because there is no reason to un-ironically want a Barbie doll except to have tea parties and go to the plastic mall and dry hump a Ken doll at the drive in sandbox \ movie theater. Or please explain what you meant to say instead of "un-ironically". Unless you really do want to have tea parties for fun like a little girl. More power to you, if that's the case. I won't shame you, since I'm a 42 year old printing out stickers of my cat on a $9 thermal printer that looks like a bears head.

[@princessCashel]

That would've been a great excuse for me to buy barbie dolls as a kid

[@NimhLabs]

@@Boogie_the_cat unironically is to differentiate from wanting it for ironic enjoyment reasons As there are people who enjoy these voice swapped toys purely for ironic entertainment provided By using "unironic" here, the OP recognises that there are people who'd do this ironically, that clarification is needed

[@NekoiNemo]

Unironically, the footnote of voice box swaps is the best part of this whole story. That is definitely, by far, the cleverest prank of the 3

[@helvete983]

Ah this takes me back. As a kid I had a ZX Spectrum+ 128k , picked up a Currah Speech Interface from a car boot sale. That thing verbally abused my sister for months until my mother heard it and confiscated it.

[@Dwedit]

I think the 'memory corruption bug due to a race condition' story is far more plausible than it being deliberate.

[@Compucles]

Yeah, if it was deliberate, why was it only in the Mac version of the game?

[@princessCashel]

not sure if this is the most insane videos you've made, but it's up there for one of the most insane stories I've heard

[@GreigaBeast]

Our class In my elementary school had a computer day at the library and secret writers society was one of the games we learned from , thats nuts looking back.

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

0:00 Active Shooter, Night Trap, Mortal Kombat 1-3, Hatred, Daikatana, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Duke Nuken Forever, Half-Life 2 Episode 3, Star Citizen, Pokemon Go when it launched and after the lockdowns, Cyberpunk 2077 when it first launched, No Man's Sky when it first launched, Fallout 76 when it first launched (a very disturbing trend with these three), -the wizard game- Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo Immortal, Diablo 3, WC3 Reforged, GTA Trilogy remakes, the list goes on and on.

[@JargonMadjin]

Maybe the GI Barbie incident was the inspiration for Major Chip Hazard adding Barbie dolls to his army in Small Soldiers

[@SodaPopBarbecue]

Gwendy. Basically the same, but they weren't literally Barbies.

[@catriamflockentanz]

Now I wonder whether genuine Barbie's with GI Joe Voicebox or vice versa that came that way out of the factory due to an error are some kind of holy grail for collectors -> Alike the Blue Mauritius for Poststamp Collectors. But probably less absurd in pricing.

[@deralfenderson]

“So I’m pretty sure this is the weirdest video I’ve ever made” At this point, before the thumbnails of other weird videos slide in, a Kohl’s ad pushes through during my viewing. 😂

[@JSmooth-YouTube]

Happy 40th birthday, to you, Daniel...! 🥳🎉🎊

[@digitalcasanova]

Rtmark is essentially the predecessor to the yes men

[@darktetsuya]

the edutainment thing I feel like I *have* heard from around the internet but I forget from where its the 'word dictionary' that was my favorite part, haha... of course the sim copter thing I had heard of before but didn't realize there was some connection there. and the voice box thing I'm pretty sure showed up as a bit on the simpsons, I didn't know that was based on a real event!

[@SalusFuturistics]

7:25 the weirdest Video you made was when you exposed that Woman using an Anime Face Filter, to make herself look younger, and then used it on yourself for Demonstration.

[@seekertosecrets]

10:16 You're 40? Could have fooled me. I thought you were older.

[@Totavier]

This was a weird but very interesting and entertained story. And when I thought that Rareware was the big ones in putting adult innuendos in their games targeted to kids, lol!.

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

4:29 RTMark is anti-consumerist, not anti-communist.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I'm 45 and still playing a lot of games.

[@hdofu]

Wait... you're just turning 40? You... LGR... people I go to for nostalgia who I'm finding out are younger.

[@LikaLaruku]

I have that issue, where all my nostolgia youtubers are at least 10 years younger, maybe 20 if it's internet nostolgia.

[@ultimatejoshiewoshieness]

Happy Birthday Dan! :)

[@eldrichnemo9312]

I remember the BLO flap, the media behaved like it was this massive thing when I think only seven or so dolls were swapped. It was specifically over Teen Talk Barbie stating "Math Class was tough today." That's why you see her with the other "rejected" Barbies in the film later on at Weird Barbie's house because the voicebox swap stories opened up conversations about real concerns whether the dolls reinforced dissuading girls from going into STEM subjects.

[@dannymac653]

I really enjoyed this, please do a video about rtmark!

[@GillianMurphy-fl9hr]

.....or you could just use the "say" command via the cli on a Commodore amiga from, well, the very original version, and get it to say out loud the most offensive phrase your mind could imagine ?

[@tiramisudragon]

HOLY CRAP THE BLO

[@lizardjr.7826]

I would love to hear about RtMark

[@Dragonrider1227]

Quite the story you found. Not gonna lie. I found the voice chip swap hilarious. You earned a like. Is that Tails on your shirt? I want a better look at it!

Seems like I've tuned in at the right time: Happy Birthday!

[@zeelyle2002]

Microsoft Talk It! Was a game I had on my old windows pc that would read literally anything and it had a quite a few voices to choose from too! I still have the game running!

[@Number8z]

definitely interested in a video about rtmark

[@otaking3582]

I remember this from one of Oddheader's Top 10 lists. I'm pretty sure it wasn't even the No. 1 entry.

[@StellaFangX]

I'm lovin this cross-over with LGR and The Obscurity.

[@clarafedde8674]

3 minutes in, and I'm a child laughing again. My vocabulary was way worse than that before I attended school. Yes mom, I won't tell the Tulsa backwards joke again....but its Oklahoma's fault.

[@AcornElectron]

Happy birthday for Monday Dan.

[@Orkillester1]

I experienced the Sim Copter event myself as a kid in the 90s, we all thought it was just funny. Even my dad got a kick out of it - which is funny because I remember him being pretty conservative then

[@srvuk]

'Math'?! Now that is offensive to any real Brit :-) As far as the game is concerned, I suspect that it would have instigated quite a giggle and fun conversations between parents at the school gates, before being largely forgotten because it would not have caused worldwide panic, just a storm in a teacup. Oh how society has devolved in some ways. Kids only have to go onto KZbin to look for information on their favourite video games or tech and they can hear uncontrolled swearing on many a channel, with zero restriction.

[@F40PH-2CAT]

"Pranks with a purpose" = pranks that are stupid, with weak excuses.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I was playing Math Blaster and it asked to see my 80085

[@JonathanPeel]

The first time I found swearing in a computer game (apart from something like Larry, which I don't think had actual swearing) was in Wing Commander 2 (on MS-Dos). It came with "Special Operation 1" and "Special Operation 2". I think it was in the second, if you started attacking on of the other human one of them would say (with all the glory of Sound Blaster 16), "Holy Shit!!! You're the traitor".

[@RisingRevengeance]

"It could really affect a child!" Yeah your kid might actually have fun while learning, scary!

[@davep5698]

Its so sad that there was such outrage about a joke in a game, especially considering it was perfectly fine to have suggestive women in them, but not men.

[@LikaLaruku]

A game suffering from Coprolalia.

[@jackpijjin4088]

Ok, look, go after corpos and shit all you want, but leave the kids out of it. Feel me?

"It's swearing at your kids" But that's my job!

[@CaptainXJ]

The concept of profanity is a carryover from religious oppression and has no place in a modern society. Also words like 'penis' are just terms for body parts 🙄

[@vermis8344]

You don't get invited to parties, do you?

[@CaptainXJ]

Yes the guy whos against being prudish doesn't get invited to parties... clever joke there.@@vermis8344

[@mightyfilm]

Except there's one flaw in the plan, isn't there? If the kid already knows the cuss words to want to immaturely add it into a Speakonian type program, it's already too late for child like purity. I've always said the South Park kids are disturbingly accurate. They're all vulgar little shites. Besides, if you don't know all the major cusses by 10, you have a sheltered as hell, super blessed life.

[@deadlyquestion]

When you said Edu-tainment I thought you were saying Edge-o-tainment, like edgy games more concerned with being edgy and controversial than playing anything actually entertaining
