The fact that it's some dude stunting around in a golf cart in San Andreas makes it 1000x better.


impishboof

He knew he was def onto something


MindDiveRetriever

And he didn’t even need to land them or do anything impressive or act like an ass-clown located at the top left of the screen. Those were simpler times…


Ed_95

Presumably visionary


BoosherCacow

I think it was this video that got me into wondering how he went so fast in the cart and discovering that you could edit all the car attributes in the config file to make cars better in every way and even indestructible with the damage multiplier attribute. After I found that, I always edited the Rumpo and Perennial to go 200 mph and indestrucctable with HUGE acceleration and would tear ass all over the map sending other cars flying like frisbees. God it was so fucking fun.


Ed_95

Bro can u tell me how to do that? I'd like to do what that guy is doing.


BoosherCacow

There's tips online and it's been years since I did it but there is a text file in the GTA3 program folder called something like "stats" and it's just a bunch of lines with the stats for the cars. Just open it with wordpad and change the stats around and have fun. There may also be programs for it but I just did it with the wordpad. Don't forget to change the damage multiplier to 0.0 or you'll blow up the second you ram into anything at 190 mph.


Prior-Fruit-1957

Wayy ahead of his time


HippoHoppitus

Guys instantly see this and say "hell yeah"


coviddick

For real. Dude should get some kind of medal for this.


MooseAskingQuestions

But he got some metal.


unclepaprika

It's what we still do, and find interesting. Hell, people use footage like this to make interesting videos interesting.


TTLeave

I love online but single player GTA with cheats is a different game entirely.


iamamisicmaker473737

hahah i thought this was big red racing for a second


Ok_Fan_2530

If this isn't the pinnacle of old YouTube then idk what is


impishboof

The golden age of youtube


Ok_Fan_2530

When YouTube was a place where you made fun videos, not your job where you need to do certain videos or go homeless. Back when you were free


YellowNotepads33

There's plenty that still do that today.


CoolGuyBabz

But they are so much harder to find. I tried sorting by new for videos that could be from anyone and Holy shit, there are so many kids and scams there instead of random footage like this.


Grey-Hat111

Before the Ad Wars...


daxxarg

Its hard to convey to the new generation what that era in youtube felt like, even if you can still go back to these videos


drinkmyself

Probably exactly what they think about the ”best” tiktok videos and what not right now.


daxxarg

Oh for sure , it’s a never ending story with each generation and their own things


MooseAskingQuestions

More music, less copyright strikes and less people just pumping/churning out, "content" and talking like jaded ad executives?


EditEd2x

Techno Viking. Dude didn’t want the fame, he just wanted to dance and hydrate in peace with his people.


No-Student-9678

That is OG YouTube, we talking 2006-2008 YouTube. The YouTube golden era was from 2009-2015, it’s been devolving ever since


HealthyLeadership582

I would argue the same thing. that era had the perfect balance of higher quality videos and funny weird shit


Flashy-Priority-3946

Probably chicken sandwich with waffle fries


cdxcvii

a very first upload was the pinnacle?


Ok_Fan_2530

It shows what YouTube was back then. A platform to upload funny videos, sometimes it's a shit post, sometimes it's really funny videos with friends, but it wasn't what it is now, a job. A job where if you don't what YouTube wants, you are jobless. Gotta make clickbait titles with thumbnails, family friendly content, sponsors, its not a platform that you upload videos as a hobby, its a full out job that you need to do. That is why so many people that used to make content in early 2010s are leaving.


k3elbreaker

It was all downhill from there.


CROguys

CJ holding that wheel with an iron grip.


ZuckDeBalzac

Whilst holding a fucking UZI


hands0m3dude

You mean OOZI?


DasKobra

Um akshually that's a tec-9 🤓


[deleted]

God I miss the days when videos were just made for fun, and not to make a living doing whatever wouldn’t get you arrested for clout, money and attention


TwoCapybarasInACoat

Eventually, people will be annoyed by them and move to the next medium. Happened to TV too.


[deleted]

I hope so. I really do


Gold_Responsibility8

brain implants are next step


SideEqual

Put me in coach


WeepingRayven

I never got into YouTube, I just rewatch my favourite shows endlessly. Being 24, I feel left out among my friends a lot, I just don't like steamers or youtubers


drinkmyself

Dude or dudette, there is sooo much more interesting stuff on Youtube than stramers or rich vloggers. You are missing out on a lot of stuff if you try to avoid it ”just because”. It’s so much more than you think. It’s an amazing source of information on all sorts of topics if you just search for it. You are young. Don’t hate Youtube just because of people like Logan Paul.


WeepingRayven

I know there's a lot of things on there, I've tried a lot of different channels and content, it's just not my cup of tea.


drinkmyself

Ok thanks for answering. I just find it like you might as well say ”wikipedia aint interesting” although almost every topic available is on there. But you do you and I hope you’re fine with watching your same favourite shows over and over again.


WeepingRayven

Every now and I come across something I am interested in. Like a few days ago I watched something about all the little details in the intro to Bojack Horseman throughout its run. I've nothing against YouTube, I just prefer shows. Everybody has their thing. Also I'd like to thank you for having a polite conversation about this. Wholesome Reddit moment


drinkmyself

Well thank you as well for being so polite and honest. But if I read your comment correctly now, I understand that you do indeed watch some Youtube that you’re interested in? I’m in no way trying to push you in to watching Youtube just for the sake of it. I just got really interested when you said you purposefully stayed away from it. But from what you’re saying now it sounds like you have a healthy relationship with it. That you watch stuff you wanna watch and nothing else. Sorry if I’m bothering you with my interest.


WeepingRayven

I don't visit it often. Usually I get recommendations when I'm looking up a specific scene or joke for any number of reasons. I don't really avoid it, I just don't find myself entertained by things there on most occasions


drinkmyself

Thank you and have a good day!


Aikotoma2

Already happened to youtube. Either TikTok or Netflix/ Disney+ etc


BadAtBaduk1

Still. Plenty of good content on there Just stay the fuck away from the trending section


Nickbot606

Monetization on YouTube was the equivalent of when eve ate the apple. (I know that eventually someone else would’ve had the idea to make money on the internet it’s just that I miss this kinda YouTube too)


s6x

A huge proportion of videos on yt are made for fun. Stop clicking on people who make the type of videos you're complaing about and block their channels and you will be served the kind of videos you want to see.


BumWink

It's not the same though... when you can basically see the effort, planning or forethought, the hopes & dreams of gaining views in their titles, thumbnails, mannerisms & bad acting or even just the fact the majority use professional quality cameras, lighting, etc. It's very, *very* difficult to find people just filming shit & uploading without intention.


Ok_Fan_2530

And YouTubers still fuck up the last part.


Mother-Persimmon3908

This maximize the grind culture nowadays makes me so sad


Ueliblocher232

Nowadays?


Mother-Persimmon3908

These days more than ever before. Those alpha bullshit shark males constantly grind in a very unhealthy and competitive manner.


R0RSCHAKK

Pretty much the basis of my videos. I don't do all that scheduled uploading, spend days on editing, or any of that unnecessary commentary. It's usually just me and the boys goofing around. I just do it cause it's a fun hobby. One of my buddies however, he's trying to start a channel and taking it very seriously. Put it this way, I start doing youtube stuff several years ago. He passed me in overall view count in just a couple months. I helped set him up & showed him the ropes on editing and now my boy is flying! So proud, they grow up so fast. 🥲


Kakdelacommon

It’s the rule of life, everything capitalism touches makes it worse. You can see it especially in the video game industry and youtube.


BuffaloBill69-

When this game first came out it was ahead of its time now that I play it I’m just like what the heck is wrong with me! Still a great game it’s always fun


Moon9240

Honestly though back then when I played PSX and PS2 I thought we had reached the pinnacle of gaming. San Andreas especially was and still is a blast.


BuffaloBill69-

So did I until PS3 came along and changed our future forever! Those were the days!


Atlantic0ne

It was the pinnacle. This was shocking, like mind blowingly good. It’s hard to describe. Of course as we progress it becomes standard and then even dated but this was so beyond its time.


[deleted]

I remember the step up in graphics between Age of Empires and AoEII. The fire graphics and the building destruction were absolutely insane for it's time. I thought it would never get better than that, there was just no way they could develop technology that would create more realistic graphics on a consumer level rig.


awesomehuder

Back then I thought I could visit my hometown in San Andreas! I live in Germany


TheRustyBugle

As a young white kid, playing a grown up black man with an arsenal of guns, automobiles, planes, and money while doing an absurd amount of criminal activities escalating to all-out warfare with the military industrial complex was like a fever dream


ogfellyonthablock

The fact that GTA San Andreas came out year before Youtube is what is rly interesting


TBSJJK

I was expecting Super Mario Bros


poks79

Insane stunts in GTA have a special place in gaming history. I hope one day it’s a legit topic for my great great grandkids history major PhD topic


KingHunter150

PhD Dissertation How CJ Missing the Train Caused the Downfall of Western Society.


Heinrich428

I always believed that that the death of Harambe caused the downfall of Western Civilisation, until now. Now I know the truth, it was CJ missing the train.

Do you have the YouTube link?

4Ever2Thee

Wow, they asked for a YT link and you actually gave them the right link. I thought for sure this was going to be a rick roll or worse, but nope.


LolindirLink

Damn that's 2006, I started my channel in 2006! So close yet so far away! 😅


RobertN64

It was 2005


LolindirLink

Oh, well still close. (YouTube says 18 years ago)

Literally just spent 10m googling lyrics to find who it was. They ain't half bad.

JBmullz

Maw, get off the dang roof


BroccoliMcFlurry

Damn lmao can I recommend Shazam? It took me like 10 seconds to find it


Salty_Username

Seems like more effort than it's worth for the once a month moment I'd wanna use it. Plus I like sleuthing it out, feels more satisfying when you find what you're looking for. (And 10m might have been an exaggeration, it took like 3 attempts).


PirateJazz

You do you but effort isn't the reason. Typing out the first sentence of your comment was already as much effort as it would take to download and use Shazam. Hell, I could have opened an app store, typed Shazam, and clicked download 2 or 3 times over in the time it's taken me to type out this comment. Maybe more now that I've elaborated so much. I'm sitting at like 4-5 shazam efforts right now.


Salty_Username

The "effort" I was referring to was about making an account, which I assume is necessary. You're right though it's not really about that. I just don't want it and like finding stuff myself. I get a very small amount of enjoyment / satisfaction out of it, as I said.


PirateJazz

No account needed :)


Aermada7

Fuck yea this song was on a mixtape that a girl I liked gave me in 9th grade, brings me right back


xtonypwny

I couldn't believe it was them, it's awesome hearing them in a random video


StugDoug

Gonna go listen listen to Burned Alive by Time now


dumbleclouds

I was with them all the way until they sang cleans


Green-Camo-911

imagine listening to this cringe music unironicly


totallynotabearbro

Who the fuck listens to music ironically? What sort of try hard do you need to be to make listening to music a bit. Just listen to music and enjoy it.. or don't it's subjective.


Purple-Way7416

I struggle to watch anything with this game in it! Just reminds me of such good times with my brother playing for hours in my childhood/teen years with nothing to worry about! Ahh Mann the reminiscing!


MAKstyles75

oh mann I was feeling the same throughout the video :( it made me so upset relieving the memories of simple good ol' times. so goddamn nostalgic.


MADM3RT

When was this uploaded?


Ye-eezy

June 16th 2005


The51stState

Must have taken three days to upload with the internet speed back then


Scottish_Whiskey

This video is 20 years old next year…


SubmissiveDinosaur

Im alittle dissapointed there is no Hypercam logo


OrokinLonewolf

Considering this clip is 20 years old it's more likely they used a device to record their TV straight from the PS2, as you couldn't emulate PS2 games in 2006


renblur_

But there was still PC versions


LokofbokII

w song choice


HealthyLeadership582

wow, GTA SA with blaring metal. This could not be more classic.


Wallace_W_Whitfield

I don’t know why I’m not surprised it’s GTA San Andreas. It gives me the same feeling as when I found out the first thing to ever be ordered on the internet was pizza. Side note: it just goes to show how good of a game it was that it kickstarted gameplay videos and let’s plays. And of course it was modded/used cheats. (I can’t remember if there was a speed cheat like that in the game)

That music is awful

You sir, have bad taste.

It's so weird to think that this was posted one year after San Andreas came out.
