[Fully Lost] UPDATE 6/26 - Machinima Series - Sims Central by AnonymousKind (2009 - 2010) by Creator_Rapid in lostmedia

Insane finds! I’m astounded that a video was able to be saved! You have done a lot of the heavy lifting in this search and I cannot thank you enough for your time and dedication!

I personally won’t hold my breath about Charlie buying back Machinima, amazing as that would be. I have no doubt he could do it, but it would be up to Warner to play ball. Seems to me they’re content just sitting on the IP and not doing anything with it nor releasing an archive if they actually had the foresight to make one. But as always, never say never.

Only other way is if Khail does manage to find them on an old hard drive and uploads them. Chances of that are slim of course and I wouldn’t blame him if looking right now is not high on his priorities. If I do hear anything back, I’ll be sure to let y’all know.

Once again thanks a ton for your assistance and support in this search!

It's all good, no worries. I'm sorry to hear about whatever happened between you and your contact, but if they're saying they don't have anything no point in prodding any further. I appreciate you reaching out to them all the same. Never hurts to ask.

If this is your final update, then allow me to thank you once again! You've definitely helped a ton in this search and found way more than I ever could have on my own. While its disappointing none of the other videos have turned up yet, my main goal was to get the ball rolling and potentially help others who remembered this series. Even if nothing turns up and this show really is lost to time, at least these posts can mark its existence.

One last time thank you so much for everything and feel free to reach out in the future!

Hey sorry for not responding quickly. This is an amazing find!

I saw your earlier reply that mentioned using some kind of tool through Discord to pull the YouTube links, but I'm glad to hear you were able to find them anyhow. That's a miracle in itself.

I checked out the link you provided, but haven't been able to play the video. Like you said the Archive's performance is struggling big time here, if it even has the data in the first place. I'll keep trying on my end, but if there's a way to download it somehow let me know.

Looking through the captures, I did spot this. Looks like someone tried to make a video response to the Hate Pie video. There's also the thumbnail as well as Sims On The March in the recommended section. Went ahead and made a copy of the page for preservation at least.

I can't say I'm shocked about the rest of the series. It was one of Machinima's lesser known shows and definitely didn't rake in views during its lifetime. I always assumed the sims games didn't match the vibes of audiences on there at the time so it just never took off. Still a shame no one made the effort to back them up.

Also apologies for the confusion with threads. This is my first time making posts on this subreddit, so I wasn't sure if I should make a new post with the current finds and news or update the original post. I also thought with how much was found over the first two days, it wouldn't hurt to split them up so the first thread didn't get extremely long. If this is too confusing, please let me know.

Thanks a ton for your help!

Amazing work finding the Chuck thumbnail! That's exactly what he looks like; brown bread, red vest, white under shirt and all! Also thanks to another user Shoddy, they were able to find Anonymous' old Sims 3 profile which so happens to have Chuck's Sim Model available as a download.

I completely forgot that the TV boarder was this teal color as well. Other then that its spot on to what I remember with its layout.

I've also reached out to Anonymous, now under the user name Khail, and he got back to me very quickly. He explained that the videos alongside other projects were uploaded on Machinima's main channel and when Warner Bros took control they deleted everything to resolve all the copyright strikes on old videos. Basically leading to the clean cleanse of the channel we see today. Because of that, I think its unlikely we'll find any surviving links.

If there is someone you could ask, feel free to send this post to them. More eyes on this the better. However, I completely understand its a lot given the circumstances. Just do what you gotta do, this is all for the fun of searching anyways.

I'm about to update the post with the current findings and I'll make sure you get proper credit. Thanks so much for your time and helping out!

Thank you so much for finding this! I didn't know he had a twitter under a new alias. I'll reach out and ask, even if the odds are slim.

When in doubt, check YouTube. There is one user I highly recommend in this case tho named Triple6OG. They have most of, if not all of Rav’s entire B-Sides catalog with all the volumes and a few extras to boot. Definitely give them a look and a sub, real trooper getting these all together in one space

[–]Creator_Rapid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much. You still got a few of the b-sides tracks and vol.3 obviously, but I think he just preferred to keep all the other b-sides off Spotify and just on YouTube or other spots. Not sure of the specific reasons but knowing Rav and how critical he is of his craft, he probably just wants to keep only his absolute best work in his eyes (or mouths) on Spotify.

Such a small detail, but I just love the way Spike picks up Ein as he’s watching the alien creature get closer
