why minecraft args always called like “mikegamingdude26”

Imagine going through all this effort to make an ARG and then not bothering to download a period-appropriate Bandicam version.

When Retro stops talking and lets the footage from the video play out by itself, you know stuff's about to go down

How to make a Minecraft creepy pasta/ mystery: 1. Play on an old version of Minecraft 2. Record on low quality and at 5 fps 3. Set your render distance really low 4. Add random creepy noises

I'm so fascinated with Alpha Minecraft. It has a like a strange vibe of mistery, unknown, and uncanny sometimes. It felt like a much more realistic game tbh

these kind of args are so good until all of the sudden they enter "the *space*" and it just becomes science fiction

John: *Stops playing minecraft* Illusion: HEY YOU CAN'T!!! COME BACK!!!

The ghost story aspect of old Minecraft is one thing, but I don't understand the fascination the ARG community has with this idea of Mojang running a top secret magic ingame admin server that connects two ways to everyone's singleplayer world. I'd genuinely sooner believe the game was haunted.

16:42 "Ingrenteds" is not Danish for ingredient, unless who ever wrote it is dyslexic. Danish word for ingredient are "ingrediens".

the thing that REALLY throws me off about this arg is the bandicam logo. that logo was made in 2017 while all the videos take place around 2010. the original meme bandicam logo was made in 2009, when the recording software was released to the public. other than that, it seems interesting

Favorite part is how whenever the person recordings the alpha footage get scared, they instantly leave instead of doing the classic tropes of exploreing, adds a really nice touch of realism.

Ok the description at 6:00 just made me laugh with how forced-creepy it was lmao. Oh yeah I was really lucky to find this beautiful mountain range, just a shame it doesn't make up for the DARK EXPERIENCES of my friend *wink wink nudge nudge*

I once encountered a bunch of redstone torches placed randomly around in a plains biome while I was playing bedrock. Nothing creepy happened though.

the REAL scary part, is when the cow dropped 2 leather

He enters a similar "Room 617" at 22:02 in the other version world, Alpha v1.0.17_02, he goes through that lead to "the mines."

If I had a nickel for every time RGN covered an Alpha Minecraft ARG where a normal player has a mysterious person join their world, cause their game to glitch out, show them a bunch of anomalies, and teleport them to an Admin Sector in the sky, then I would have two nickels, but its weird that it happened twice.

Nah bruh, if Windows blue screens, your screen recorder is not gonna keep running

17:27 I legit thought my own PC had frozen lmaoo 👌🏻😭

I can't express how much I appreciate this channel. The ambience, atmosphere, the fantastic scripting/dialogue. It's all very well done. Great job RGN

Red stone torches did not exist at that time

"Ingrenteds" is not Danish for Ingredient, that would be "Ingrediens". Source: I am Danish myself lol

I have seen Minecraft Alpha 1.0.16 versions. enough times to know for sure that. Minecraft Alpha versions have a lot of scary stories and anomalies around them.

Can we talk about how dude just opened an iron door by himself without any button or lever or pressure plate

Absolutely ballistic rn

When are we getting deep dives again? 😭 I miss those so much

how to make anything scarier: put a date on it

I live these types of ARG video essay type videos, and this channel does them almost perfectly

Imagine if the main character of these ARG's just stopped playing. =)

The existence of john game lover makes you think that if you enter names like idk "minecraft fan 1234" you could also stumble upon weird stuff like this. Another great video, i really enjoyed the mystery talked about here.

Maybe the teleporters are coordinate dependent and they only connect to their matching coords in the other world they link to. Maybe the teleporter built in room 617 was built by chance in the same coords as where John spawned in, so it happened to link up.

This video flew by, I was surprised when it ended. I was so absorbed in the story that I lost track of time. I love your way of telling these stories and your editing makes it more immersive. I can't wait for the next update! Have a wonderful day RGN.

Hi RGN! Just wanted to tell that whenever I see a new thumbnail from you popping at my subscription session a nice feeling runs down through my brain. Its been tough times, but watching you has made me feel much better these days. Ty

Shows new items in hotbar "who could have done that?" Maybe himself in gamemode 1 idk

wow that intro was extremely well made its really nice to see your channel grow in quality and subscribers

pov: time travel in minecraft. he's talking back and forth to himself on the signs at times.

John: *deletes Minecraft* Illusion: HEY! COME BACK! THAT'S UNFAIR! THAT'S NOT ALLOWED

I was waiting for you to do one on this guy, i discovered him back in March and couldn't figure out anything but it's cool to see you do a video on him.

So happy to see a new upload! Keep up the vibes, man

Always a good day when RGN uploads

That intro was so cool and tryppy, loved the sound effects too!

Alot of Minecraft alpha creepypastas being released recently 🔥🔥

Another 100% real no clickbait no edited definetly from 2010 creepypasta channel 🗣🔥

13:48 "As he picks it up, it does not go into his hotbar as it should." Me: Big deal. "It's almost as if _something else_ has picked it up for him." Me: *NOPE. NUH UH. NOT HAVIN' THAT.*

i miss when minecraft ARGs were more subtle and not just random weird stuff happening with a player who pretends to not know what's going on

that intro was AWSOME! great job! :D

3:34 FTB stone block jumpscate

Man I love this genre of Minecraft mystery analyses. Even if they're obviously faked or if they go nowhere, it's still just fun to get immersed for a bit. Minecraft is so open ended, there's so much room for the creators of them to do interesting things.

i love how this guy doesnt bother about intros, just straight into the action

Whenever the video gets dark i feel that something will go really wrong and there will be a jumpscare at some point

Was only a matter of time before RGN covered this…

I love these types of videos, they have a horror element to them, but not anything too bad. Not like jumpscares or anything. These are very entertaining!

Feels weird to watch a video about an ARG that not only is still in progress but that I've also stumbled onto by accident when I first found out about it

This channel needs more recognition ❤

Hell yeah, more RGN!

I love your videos about investigating Minecraft ARGs! Keep up the AMAZING WORK! Looking forward to more videos like these, and of course: I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them!

9:17 i will never be able to hear his music without also hearing "the cows are everywhere" lol

those arg videos from you are the best

14:37 - When player ask them for the name, they reply with base64 encoded string "aWxsdXNpb24=", which after decoding says "illusion"

That intro was trippy asf, and good job on the video, you make everyone so on edge with your storytelling

I absolutely love these videos. I don’t remember when I came across your channel, but I am always so giddy whenever I come across the newest upload. Thanks for your hard work and dedication!

No way!! another upload hyped to see this.

Came across the JohnGameLover channel awhile back, forgot about it until just now. Nice to see that you're covering it!

Dude I somehow stumbled upon your channel and I wanna say that I love your into dude, that's was absolutely sick my dude.

I appreciate the props you put on this story. I get the feeling most people would rather mock it. Good stuff - when or if it finishes I hope you cover the full AndrewGaming67 saga. It’s a great story at least so far in my opinion.

The power is out, and I'm outside at night, perfect time to watch this video!

Scooby doo ass intro music, cool effects though

God, I love your content. I love seeing it on my recommended. These videos make me so happy. For some reason, I just love Minecraft essay videos and analyses.

I love these videos man they're just relaxing to listen to in the background while you do something please make more vids like this

It's rly obviously. There's BLACK MAGIC going on!

I said this before on someone else’s video on JohnGameLover, but it’s extremely odd to me how similar the series is to one I covered, now called minecraft mention reuploads! Could it be the same guy making a second attempt? I really have no idea.

Now I feel like downloading those old versions of Minecraft again, they have a certain charm that only seems to grow with time. Good video, well done man! :)

Your videos are really great, whenever you upload a new video im always excited to watch it. This has been a really interesting story and i hope it can be solved one day. Well made video as always RGN!

Are you going to make any more of those Minecraft Deep Dive videos Retro? They were so good and very relaxing. Tbh all your vids are but those were the best.

I love these arg videos

2010: Dude in 2010 having Fun trolling People 2024: STRANGE ANOMALIES IN MINECRAFT ALPHA

If I’d been in that situation, I’d ask the entity if they were going to hurt me

a new rgn video drops: time to stop what im doing!

Man that intro goes unnecessarily hard. Very good work and great video!

Thanks for sending another minecraft RGN. I really love them since the lilypad rgn video

Hey RGN just wanted to say i love your content. You take these series and elevate them. While i wish you uploaded more i would much rather you take your time to make every video the best it could be!

Ngl was kinda hoping for a video about weird terrain generation oddities in early version of Minecraft based on the title, not a creepypasta arg type thing :/

Bro, this edition makes it scary af THE SUN IS THE ANWSER

I remember seeing this channel on my recommendations randomly, then i watched some of the videos and i was so confused, but found the videos to be so cool.

Bro I love your content so much, it makes my day when I see you've uploaded a new video. Thank you! ❤

commented for the algorithm boost keep going man

Notice how a lot of these ARGs happen only in early versions of Minecraft and not the latest. Gives it an analog horror vibe

When I hear “administrative space” I think of the other Minecraft ARG with the moon and the devs, a lot of ARGs happen to have some weird “admin” or “developer” thing in them

While i know its not related to this video, i watched almost all your videos and found myself questioning what is a creeper, then during one of your videos i passed a comment that made an interesting suggestion. It was your disk video and the comment suggested that the creepers are actually spy tools created by rival ancient builder factions to spy on each other hence why they blow up, are camo colored, and spawn at night despite not burning in the day and why they are so sneaky. On the point of disks maybe the origin of the music disks was actually transcribed codes for the different factions and they had some technology that translated the song into the various things they observed. If we think of the skeleton as an ancient builder then maybe thats why only they know how to get the disks out of them. Theres still a bit of wiggle room to this theory and i again apologize for not bringing this up in a theory video comment section but those videos are several years old and i figured it would be easier to get the word out through the most recent video

Video 4 of me asking to do a deep dive on the creeper

New RGN vid, less fucking goooooooooooo

As always, another banger of a video from RGN Keep up the great work dude! 👏🏻

There's two more of these videos. I'll break them down: The title is called Friend recording (old). This takes place after the player is in the dark foggy world with anti-sound. The player begins to explore outside and mines iron ore with his pickaxe, collecting resources and goes back to his base. After fueling it into iron ingots, he crafts a lever. After waiting a few minutes, he goes back outside. Now all of a sudden, there's stars out. This is unusual and not normal for stars to randomly appear in the sky. After he observes it for a few, he checks his settings and changes his render distance to short. Looks like his render distance has turned to far without his knowledge. As he goes back to his base and gathers resources and tools, he goes back to the teleporter and is sent into a place where I can't make out, but similar to the stone room he was trapped in, and the video ends from there. Now the description below says of 4 parts. Part 1: Design: Again a failure... I'm sure that if I can finalize this thing, I can install it by turning to HIM, but how will he react if HE is disturbed? Okay, not about that... Every time I make minimal changes to the design, it stops working altogether, or, as in the video, it moves the player to an unknown space, where either there is nothing at all, or there is a sign with unreadable text. (Part 1 does state that the player teleports to an dark, unknown area and the video ends off that way.) 2nd part “Test”) Well, quite a lot of time has passed since my revision and now I’m ready to start the “Beta Test”, I’ll just send this world to friends around the world with a request to enter this structure. I hope everything goes well! Some will ask why I don't want to check it myself? And I will give a very simple answer - I DO NOT know what the consequences may be after I go there and stay there for a long time and in this situation it would be much wiser to endanger not myself but other less significant people. In truth, I only have one real friend and all the others are just my “Puppets” that I can manipulate as I want :-) Part 3 “Complaints” Well, I conducted a 3-day beta test and came to the following conclusions: 1) 4 out of 10 people ended up in a dark room when teleporting. 1 of these 4 ended up in a room with a sign after a long stay in this room, some complained of a headache, and the “friend” who found himself in a room with a sign also complained of apathy. For 6 out of 10 people, the game simply closed without errors; however, upon restart, the small gray filter installed in the game was replaced. Something unusual happened to 1 in 10 people that I didn’t yet know about, or rather, he ended up in a very dark room with a sign, but the text was visible on it! The sign read: “Illusion is watching.” After reading “Friend,” he began to panic greatly and said that he would no longer participate in this and blocked me everywhere he could. Part 4 “Conclusions” Well, I can say that I have made quite a lot of progress in this matter, but I am still not even close to completion. We need to work hard and improve the “mechanism”. After conducting an experiment on 10 people, we can conclude that teleporters can affect people in reality and cause at least this list of side effects: headache, apathy, insomnia. I think now you understand why I didn’t test this “mechanism” on myself. Then the other video's title is Extremely Dark Experiences. As we see the player outside, he has equipment enough for a teleporter. After building it, he goes into it and teleports into a very strange room where there are torches and cobblestones everywhere, similar to the stone room, but bigger. As he explores, we can hear morse code play. Then he sees a sign says "someone can hear me" meaning someone else must've been here. He starts to panic to get outta the room and then the video ends. There was a dark hallway that he saw. These 2 vids seem more creepy than the rest, but those aren't the only ones JohnGameLover had in store for us. There was a community post he made of a picture of the player's hud slided to the left. If you look on left bottom, you can see that the water has an edge, as if the player was at the edge of his world. People say Herobrine is in the image if you look to the right, but the appearance looks very faint or it's not there at all. Possibly a teaser for the next vid, but this is the only community post that JohnGameLover had made.

Do you plan on making coverage on other ARG’s? (Stuff like UNALTERED66, etc.)

Its 0:47 for me rn, we getting nightmares with this one

9:50 : >sees a sign saying that he should leave >actually leaves shortly after instead of being a typical protagonist and not trying to "solve the mystery" to then end up somewhere freaky

I love watching these kinds of mysterious Minecraft ARGs and voiced over by RGN. Give me a sense of “is it mods? Could this be a whole setup?, or is there someone actually in Minecraft itself?” You just gotta love RetroGamingNow! ❤

this is definitely an oddity in minecraft alpha

the intro is tripping me out man. It's just alphaver dude you're freaking me out man. AND THE FOLDING ROOM VISUAL IN THE MUSICAL INTRO IS SIMILAR TO MARK101. the same music after that too. Freaking me out man.... What the flip.... I'm tripping out over this rn bro

oh damn i remember getting recommended that attempt at research video and i immediately thought nah ill wait for rgn to make a video on this guy

Unrelated but there's a series just getting started that I've been following, the main channel is siamaru but there are channels linked to it, might wanna keep an eye on it.
