**Corrections** (In theTheBriefHistory part): "[...] he's back to the spawn point with the same amount of items that he had before." This is actually wrong, he has an extra 3 dirt for some reason. "[...] and we can see things moving around in the distance, but it's unclear what they are." They're just sheep. (In the AlphaVer chapter): • Both clips in the AlphaVer video Internal Footage 3 were recorded by Dev 6, and Dev 4 was just someone who featured in the video. • I called "Code 8" the fifth code in the AlphaVer section for simplicity, because we never got a Code 5, and the MD5/SHA256 hash arrays in the source code only contain 8 non-empty elements (all we have + the lost code five). • I slightly hint that the order of chests being opened is important, and I never bring up throughout the video that it actually makes up the password for the second OST . zip download, which was only ever linked through a community post.

Hi! AlphaVer Freerun World Record Holder speaking ^^ I'm glad that people are talking about AlphaVer again, and more people should really get into it not just because it's another "wooOOOooo spooky ghost client :O!!!!" webseries, but just a fun, weird and esoteric custom Alpha version that anyone can pick up and play. I hope that the new versions can patch out certain bugs (i.e, certain lagspikes while playing Survival and loading chunks), but whatever the AlphaVer devs are up to is up to them, but I thank you for covering this! (Totally not an excuse to convince people to try more Freerun from the client, TOTALLY not saying it's underrated as hell lmfao)

i watched as source horror came and went and its kind of interesting seeing the same trend happen with minecraft especially since the stagnation source horror went through seems to be happening much, much faster here. source horror lasted like 3 years and died once the creators found 'what worked' (gunslingerpro's gimmick) and copied it over and over to the point where nobody cared anymore. from what i've seen firsthand with minecraft args (the term arg here is erroneous but whatever) it feels like we're already at that point despite the concept being only a few months old - i've sifted through like 12 series that are practically identical. just scripted footage (sometimes with a vhs filter for some reason? what?) with a fake alpha number in the corner despite clearly taking place in 1.20.1 w a texture pack, and then there's a black figure in the background and then you go into the description/ccs for a caesar cipher or the end of a url just to find out the lore is dead kids/herobrine again. honestly i'm really glad you went out of your way to find some channels that actually have some kind of substance to them - horror is subjective so with horror i always try to find stuff that's INTERESTING over stuff that's SCARY, and for once i'm actually kind of engaged. props to you for bringing attention to the things that deserve to be analyzed esp since from what i've seen these args have basically no audience also not to be a nitpicking asshole but your use of the terms 'arg' and 'webseries' is wrong. everyone uses 'arg' wrong anyway nowadays but to clarify, to be an arg a story has to have audience participation. the G stands for 'Game', with the audience being players - if the players have no control over how the story ends, it's not an arg, and decoding things does not immediately count as participation. decoding CAN be part of an arg, but unless the players having to decode something influences how the story pans out, it's not an arg. the term 'webseries' is also not explicitly a horror term, it's an umbrella for literally any series posted on the internet. the most appropriate term would just be 'horror series' or, if you wanna get nostalgic, 'creepypasta', but i've seen the word 'unfiction' get brought up a few times and i feel like it's most fitting, as most of them seem to hinge on the viewer assuming they're real. i'd personally just go with creepypasta though. just felt like saying that because i see that word get misused a *lot* lol

I just love the whole idea of like creepy “Herobrine” thing. which, is something that is in your single player world that is terrifying.

Minecraft Alpha is old and janky and the only people interested in it are soy guys such as yourself who like the "nostaliga" because you cant move on and are still mentally 10 years old. Herobrine was only good for old minecraft videos to scare dumb children, not for some 30 year old man to relive his glory days. Besides, herorbine only works on youtube videos, its not as scary in the game. grow up

The two types of Minecraft ARGs: The annoying unrealistic ones: -Unrealistic scenarios and player reactions -Supernatural entities for some reason -Stakes are way too high for a block game -disappointing, lackluster pacing and ending -not convincing or well-made in the slightest The compelling grounded ones: -Scenarios and player reactions seem grounded and realistic -No mention of the supernatural, just relies on storytelling to be spooky -Stakes are realistic. High enough to be compelling, but low enough to suspend your disbelief -Pacing is well done and the ending pays off and ties together the loose threads -Very well-made to the point where you second guess if it's actually real or not. The trouble with video game ARGs is that since they happen in our real word, they have to have some grounding. It doesn't make much sense for a singular random game to have some scary eldritch horror inhabiting it, meanwhile, the rest of the world is unaffected. Series like the AlphaVer ARG are intriguing since it's a huge mystery about missing and previously unknown Minecraft versions. Something that actually exists. And along with it it even has its own Minecraft mod with the version that is portrayed in the video.

The idea of a supernatural entity affecting the game is more 'believeable' for me than the shadowy organisation in AlphaVer, oddly. Precisely because the latter is *theoretically* possible, it becomes all the more difficult to suspend my disbelief, whereas if the strange occurrences are explained by something like a ghost, suddenly one has no frame of reference for what is plausible and likely.

@@iosefka7774 I don't think it's a shadowy organization as much as just an eclectic developer with a checkered past that even the other developers don't know about. It's not some Polybius-type stuff, it's just a weird rabbit hole with loose ends. Plenty of such rabbit holes exist IRL. (for instance, the CR6 webseries mystery) My main issue with the supernatural entities is them being contained to a video game. Like, really, this being is able to possess people and electronics... and it decides to freak kids out on Minecraft? It's also just so weird to imagine some kid going to school or eating breakfast and then just going to his computer and logging back into the world that's home to some eldritch horror possessing people. "The Last Beta Player" understood this really well, sure, it was at least somewhat paranormal, but you could see the person playing and reacting in real life, and also see how he asked questions on the subreddit, with realistic responses from other players. And the framing is another thing. If it's established that weird paranormal things have been happening in the world besides just on Minecraft, it's believable. But if it's just random black entities that are the cursed souls of dead players trapped in the game... it's sorta laughable.

@@ialwayswatchyoutube812 Fiction doesn't need to be realistic, but it needs to be consistent and immersive. My point was that slapping on paranormal entities haphazardly makes no sense, and the execution of it most of the time is extremely tropey.

for me it's not a matter of realistic vs supernatural, but about suspension of disbelief i could believe that maybe there's some unexplained entity in the game, but once it we get into over explaining stuff like "there's a cabal of inter-dimensional entities sneaking into random little kids' minecraft single player worlds to conduct a ritual to break into the real world using minecraft's moon as a catalyst to summon their god-program" it's like ok man this isn't a marvel movie, calm down with that

I've found a few structures in my world that the people and I play with can't explain, There's two really big holes in the middle of no where and some huge block in the sky made with all the blocks from the holes. It was creepy when I first found it but we think maybe someone got into the world some how and made it. Not really sure what else it could be from.
