The Dreamcast experience in Japan reminds me of that year when I didn't have a laptop and had to use my Wii for web browsing and CZcams. Honestly relatively comfy. Dreamcast probably felt much the same way in 1999 with its "computer mini" aspects.
What i wouldn't give to experience the dreamcast in Japan in it's hay day. Man it seems so cool and surreal to think that this console could do just so much stuff way back in 99
This was how I was with my PSP for about two years. Had no laptop, and limited access to the family PC. So for anything personal or to muck around online, I used the PSP's internet function. It was a real novelty to me, having never had a laptop and smartphones being far too expensive at the time.
The browser was very short on features and many sites didn't load and those that did were not displayed properly. Plus if you didn't have the mouse and keyboard it was pretty difficult to navigate. It was still pretty cool to access the internet on your tv with a dreamcast even if it wasn't the best experience.
Cybershell is one of the few people on the internet that gets me hyped for a 40min video about the rarest form of a console I never had or played. Edit: I want a Dreamcast now lol
@gn@z Dreamcast has shit copyright protection so there's no modding required. Just burn some games onto some CDR's, pop them into the console, and play. Shit you not, it's that easy. That's how I played illbleed.
@gn@z no need for modding really unless you want HDMI output in the thing. I got a Japanese Dreamcast and my entire collection is American games on burned CDs, never ran into trouble doing that
Never realised they tried so hard to put this amazing console out there, it deserved so much better! In Europe it was gone so quickly, i was the only one of my friends that had one and rarely have heard other people talking about it. Luckily it still has a great second life now with collectors and enthusiasts.
I bought mine from a store when they took apart the demo stand it had been in, they used the Japanese version, and sold games too. I only ever had one game for it that I forget the name of now(blue something), 3rd person, fighting some weird kind of mutants or monsters. I lived in Italy at the time, I had been busy working and had no internet but I think I bought it basically when it had flopped, not sure. Brought back memories.
Something about the way Cybershell can just effortlessly spout off highly technical jargon in a semi-condescending but clearly joking manner without a break in speech is eternally hilarious. That bit about the chromaflair deep dive had me laughing the hardest I have in months.
Fun fact: A choice few weapons in Phantasy Star Online had abilities dependent on the internet beat time. So kid me playing with the Heaven Striker gun learned the basic beat time idea so that I knew when my lasers from above special attack was active.
@@manjackson2772 Technically there were three with the heavenly beam attacks. Heaven Punisher (the only one on the Dreamcast version fwiw) and two added in blue burst: the heaven striker and a combined mechgun using the OG Punisher called the Mille Marteaux.
To me what's crazy about Seaman is that the voice actor of the aforementioned creature is the same as the protagonist Francis York Morgan from Deadly Premonition, and you can't stop thinking about the similarities between Seaman speaking to the player vs. York talking about movies to Zach when they are alone (and he also did E-123 Omega's voice in Shadow the Hedgehog)
My favorites are the transparent Dreamcast. I always enjoyed the Early 2000s tech design. It's surprising just how many versions of the Dreamcast are out there. Sega really wanted the console to be used by everyone.
one of ur best videos to date cyber. Idk what more topics exist to dive this deep into, but Id love more videos in this style or the "what the hell are chao?" video. Super in depth stuff that leaves me feeling like I was a part of the story. Feel like a Chao/Dreamcast Special model supergenius.
This video includes a nearly complete oral history of the Seaman franchise, a description of a long-forgotten method of timekeeping, an explanation of the physics of iridescent materials, and a mention of a Japanese health insurance company. And it includes some sick fucking dreamcasts
Man. I was such a dumbass. When I was little we had 3 dreamcasts. It was my first console, and when SEGA was selling them so cheap my parents bought extras. So we had 2 brand new Dreamcasts in the box, but my dumbass opened both of them when I was like 8 or 9 because I wanted to see them and use a new one just because. Man I could have had a valuable console. Oh well. Still got it ;3
Man brand new dreamcasts were still selling for less than $100 on eBay as recently as 2009. Wish I could go back in time and buy them up. I was 12 at the time

Expecting a fairly straightforward and interesting video and getting pummeled with lore and tons of additional information is the classic cybershell experience
Seaman was actually very known around the time it was new from what I recall, I think it was just buried and forgotten fairly quickly. But I got a free demo on an ODCM disk of it and the most popular websites were giving it plenty of coverage and it was talked about plenty on message boards at the time. 12:59 Predictive programming?(the next minute and a half or so)
That jerma clip where the seaman spills the beans on Jeremy saying he is insecure about his height will always live rent free in my head I love these times of videos. Keep on being epic cyber man
I would LOVE a more in-depth look at Seaman PS2 and Seaman 2. I’ve literally never heard of any of that stuff before this. By the way, another great video! I was just re-watching your Tails Gets Trolled video and I still love that and whatever you put out really
Oh wow, as you were describing the swatch thing and the beat timing method I realized it sounded similar to what pso's timer worked under, and then you mentioned pso and I felt so vindicated. One of those things I wondered about for years but always forgot to look up. Great video!
When it was released it felt that everyone had a Dreamcast at least in my school so I was really surprised that it was discontinued. It didn't feel like the Saturn where I was the only one who had it.
Kids will ask their parents for whatever console all their friends have. Once a couple people buy one all their friends will want the same one. Where I grew up everyone had a PS2 and then everyone had an Xbox 360. I think I knew one single kid that had an original Xbox, not one person had a Dreamcast or Gamecube and when everyone moved to the Xbox 360 there were two kids in the whole town that had a PS3 instead.
I love coming back to this video,a while back it helped me sleep.and as a 2012 kid it gives me nostalgia for a console I never had.Very good did great research!
I remembered seeing your video and just by chance, a real Gold Dreamcast was listed on ebay and it was numbered of 5. The listing ended yesterday I believe and it sold for 10,300.00. It was being sold out of Germany. I never heard of it before your video and this may be the only time I ever see one. I’ve seen the S.T.A.R.S. DC console more and it’s probably just as rare though I believe we’re produced. The gold DC was signed by a bunch of people and came in a really cool case. Edit: I just checked ebay and yes, the listing ended yesterday but to my surprise, another from Germany sold in January for 11,100 with 120 bids versus yesterday’s with 74 bids. The one from January was 4 of 5 and the one from yesterday was 2 of 5.
I LOVE when Cybershell goes deep into the most obscure videogame related stuff, I sincerely wouldn't mind if he just talked about games noone heard about just in general
I've actually seen a car with that type of chroma paint in real life that was parked around the place that I was having a jog during the summer, and I gotta say, that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. You have to physically see it for yourself to get the full picture but the car would completely change colors from purple to green depending on what angle I was looking at it from. So yeah, 10/10 paintjob would look at again
Hey, I have the first Dreamcast you mention! I got my Sega Sports edition of the console from a flea market. It was originally selling for $20, no controller, no memory thingy, no games. I was really interested in it because I'd never encountered a black one before. One of the vendors for the table the console was on asked if I was interested. I explained I wanted the console, but didn't have anymore cash on me (it was true, pretty sure she watched me buy a pretty wall fan next-door). She asked me to wait a second since it was her son's. She went and talked to him and after a second they both came back. After looking at which console I was interested in, and looking at me, he told me I could just have it. He used to play the console every day, but after a while he didn't have time to play it anymore and long before sold off the game collection for it. He said he was just happy it was going to someone who knew what it was and seemed to really want it. I have been loving it for over a decade now myself, and it's still an active device on my entertainment center.
not a single other channel's uploads get me as excited as these. redlettermedia is close but its so consistent i can sort of take it for granted. every cybershell upload is a blessing. i hope you dont trick yourself into thinking you dont have enough to say about seaman to make a whole video about it after this, i would love to hear you point out random shit about it that i already know
27:40 The game itself IS cool. I'm not even that big of a Gundam fan and it's easily one of my Top 5 Dreamcast favorites right next to Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. It's an arena shooter fair with loadouts based on the model mech chosen, and it gives you LOTS of control over the difficulty alongside it's own auto-balancer so you can find a spot where you're having fun no matter what you choose, even if you pick a the infamous BALL.
Isn't it just the DC version of the PS2 game called Federation vs Zeon? I would love to see a new Gundam game with a campaign like FvZ that played similarly but with a larger scale than just 4 units. The sequel to that game Gundam vs Zeta Gundam is hella good too.
@FiveByFive The interface and gameplay are identical to FvZ, so I'd assume they are basically the same game (Maybe just the arcade mode only). I prefered the campaign in FvZ over GvZ, but the variety of suits was really nice. I'd LOVE a full Universal Century version, especially with some suits from other timelines added in and some GvZ style what-if timelines too. While Gundam Crossfire was awful, it was the fun kind of awful. Something like that but large scale and actually finished would be awesome. I've also been dreaming of a Star wars Battlefront 2 (The real one) kind of game with the various classes being the various mobile suits.
31:16 Oh my God, I've wondered for YEARS what that internet time thing at the bottom of the pause menu in PSO1 was, and now thanks to you I finally know, thank you very much Cybershell!
That dreamcastgallery site can be found on the internet archive as late as 2009. Do note that both contacts used by the site creator are defunct (ebay no longer lets you search by username, and business-bytes was a flash-based site from 2003 that seems to be completely gone)
brb need to watch all those japanese commercials. My god the compilation is amazing. Also that CSK console @34:03 was 20yrs ahead of its time. Facetiming a Doctor is now common place but is still fairly new tech that only took off during the pandemic. Thanks. Learned a lot watching this.
Oh sweet a cybershell video. Dreamcast has the least amount of blue sphere out of all the Sega consoles. It wouldve been cool if blue sphere was on dreamcast. Oh well I'm sticking with the new sequel to the blue sphere game in sonic orgins. I've never thought there would be a true sequel to blue sphere, I'm so happy. Which is why I'm showing myself to the public.🔵
If I’ve taken away something from this video, it’s that Shenmue and the Dreamcast really did share the same issue that led to their failure. Too much ambition. Everything you talked about here sounds incredible and really forward thinking, but considering Sega had so much going on the time and tons of their money and resources were being drained like a waterfall, it was all too much at once over the course of 3 short years. It’s a real shame because had it all succeeded, we could have a very different tech landscape than the one we have now.
No, it was simply due to Sony being the evil Sony they are, and putting the entire Dreamcast game library online overnight and posting links to it everywhere so nobody would buy or release Dreamcast games anymore. They did this because they were releasing PS2 soon, which ended up being even crappier than Dreamcast even though it came out 1 year after
36:52 fun fact this version of Sonic Adventure shown here is not well documented. It has a unique title screen and emerald coast ends in the middle of the stage. Very bizarre hopefully it's found some day.
Was just rewatching your Sonic LPs this morning after being hyperfixated on your channel again - like any sane Cybershell watcher -- and I was pleasantly surprised to find this in my recommended. I look forward to seeing all the content you have in-store
After seeing that funny ending I just had to check and make sure I’m subscribed Ok I actually really enjoyed this video a lot and learned so much about the Dreamcast, I never ever do this but I feel it’s deserved to be notified when you upload. I’m a member of the notification squad now. Excellent video! Keep up the good work!
I actually worked with Nippon and even maziora paint when I first started tinkering with guitars in the early 2000s. A longtime colleague and friend is one of the most prolific finishing experts.... known the world over for his work with musical instruments. I've seen and work with all kinds of crazy stuff thanks to the access and NeverEnding assortments of things he works with and is exposed to. Also run across all kinds of weird and interesting things like that at The NAMM show every year. I have always focused predominantly on vintage reproduction instruments because that's what appealed to me most. I mean I still do work with electric guitars and things but usually they're more of your classic timeless and famous designs. A good 90% of my orders consisted of vintage reproductions and things like that. And I was always a few years behind on orders... And at least for me personally it work best if I only took orders for designs that I appreciated or was interested in exploring. But every now and then something different would come along that sounded interesting and appealing enough that I would take the job. And that's predominantly when I worked with new and interesting materials and finishes.

This was how I was with my PSP for about two years. Had no laptop, and limited access to the family PC. So for anything personal or to muck around online, I used the PSP's internet function. It was a real novelty to me, having never had a laptop and smartphones being far too expensive at the time.
@@candywing7798 i wish i had realized the wii was trying that same thing when i was a kid.
The browser was very short on features and many sites didn't load and those that did were not displayed properly. Plus if you didn't have the mouse and keyboard it was pretty difficult to navigate. It was still pretty cool to access the internet on your tv with a dreamcast even if it wasn't the best experience.
Cybershell is one of the few people on the internet that gets me hyped for a 40min video about the rarest form of a console I never had or played.
Edit: I want a Dreamcast now lol
dreamcast is fun!
@gn@z Dreamcast has shit copyright protection so there's no modding required. Just burn some games onto some CDR's, pop them into the console, and play. Shit you not, it's that easy. That's how I played illbleed.
@@tavenger-654 I want a dreamcast now lol
@gn@z no need for modding really unless you want HDMI output in the thing. I got a Japanese Dreamcast and my entire collection is American games on burned CDs, never ran into trouble doing that
Owned one for a short while, was pretty cool but we sold it.
Never realised they tried so hard to put this amazing console out there, it deserved so much better! In Europe it was gone so quickly, i was the only one of my friends that had one and rarely have heard other people talking about it. Luckily it still has a great second life now with collectors and enthusiasts.
I bought mine from a store when they took apart the demo stand it had been in, they used the Japanese version, and sold games too. I only ever had one game for it that I forget the name of now(blue something), 3rd person, fighting some weird kind of mutants or monsters. I lived in Italy at the time, I had been busy working and had no internet but I think I bought it basically when it had flopped, not sure. Brought back memories.
Amazing video as always Cybershell. Thanks for being a great content creator!
Just remember, if Cybershell dies his Dreamcast might be even rarer then the mystical golden Dreamcast if not the rarest Dreamcast of all time.
Something about the way Cybershell can just effortlessly spout off highly technical jargon in a semi-condescending but clearly joking manner without a break in speech is eternally hilarious. That bit about the chromaflair deep dive had me laughing the hardest I have in months.
Bravo. Legit laughed out loud a few times. Both informative and entertaining. I wish I could upvote more than once.
I really digged the format of this video as it taught me alot in a short time. Keep it up dude
Fun fact: A choice few weapons in Phantasy Star Online had abilities dependent on the internet beat time. So kid me playing with the Heaven Striker gun learned the basic beat time idea so that I knew when my lasers from above special attack was active.
Wasn't it literally just that one weapon?
@@manjackson2772 Technically there were three with the heavenly beam attacks. Heaven Punisher (the only one on the Dreamcast version fwiw) and two added in blue burst: the heaven striker and a combined mechgun using the OG Punisher called the Mille Marteaux.
@@enjoyerofcake2123 There's also Galatine, a saber that changes attack power and color depending on the time of day.
@@DarthPaperBoy I KNEW THERE WAS ONE I FORGOT!! Thanks for that
To me what's crazy about Seaman is that the voice actor of the aforementioned creature is the same as the protagonist Francis York Morgan from Deadly Premonition, and you can't stop thinking about the similarities between Seaman speaking to the player vs. York talking about movies to Zach when they are alone (and he also did E-123 Omega's voice in Shadow the Hedgehog)
that is the best piece of info I've ever learned.
Seaman is just a game from that less insane Twin Peaks that managed to get into our universe before they did.
My favorites are the transparent Dreamcast. I always enjoyed the Early 2000s tech design. It's surprising just how many versions of the Dreamcast are out there. Sega really wanted the console to be used by everyone.
one of ur best videos to date cyber. Idk what more topics exist to dive this deep into, but Id love more videos in this style or the "what the hell are chao?" video. Super in depth stuff that leaves me feeling like I was a part of the story. Feel like a Chao/Dreamcast Special model supergenius.
I find it wholesome that you were about to put your dreamcast as number 1 even as a joke. Nostalgia and memories with a console is priceless.
Right, the rarest and most special is your own.
It's like sonic 2 with a line
@@ifoxy- sonic 2 with lots of microscopic my finger cells
This video includes a nearly complete oral history of the Seaman franchise, a description of a long-forgotten method of timekeeping, an explanation of the physics of iridescent materials, and a mention of a Japanese health insurance company.
And it includes some sick fucking dreamcasts
Such a well done video. I don't know why this ended up on my feed but I'm glad it did. Subscribed.
Man. I was such a dumbass. When I was little we had 3 dreamcasts. It was my first console, and when SEGA was selling them so cheap my parents bought extras. So we had 2 brand new Dreamcasts in the box, but my dumbass opened both of them when I was like 8 or 9 because I wanted to see them and use a new one just because.
Man I could have had a valuable console. Oh well. Still got it ;3
reminds me of how I had a spare copy of '06
Man brand new dreamcasts were still selling for less than $100 on eBay as recently as 2009. Wish I could go back in time and buy them up. I was 12 at the time

Expecting a fairly straightforward and interesting video and getting pummeled with lore and tons of additional information is the classic cybershell experience
was not expecting the ending! awesome video as always
Seaman was actually very known around the time it was new from what I recall, I think it was just buried and forgotten fairly quickly. But I got a free demo on an ODCM disk of it and the most popular websites were giving it plenty of coverage and it was talked about plenty on message boards at the time.
12:59 Predictive programming?(the next minute and a half or so)
That jerma clip where the seaman spills the beans on Jeremy saying he is insecure about his height will always live rent free in my head
I love these times of videos. Keep on being epic cyber man
I would LOVE a more in-depth look at Seaman PS2 and Seaman 2. I’ve literally never heard of any of that stuff before this. By the way, another great video! I was just re-watching your Tails Gets Trolled video and I still love that and whatever you put out really
I really hope he makes a video about Seaman. I NEED more deep Seaman lore.
@@destroyerofworlds9860
I need more Seaman. I can’t get enough Seaman.
@@BareBandSubscription agreed
Yeah. A 40 minute Seaman epic would be what everyone wanted, even if they don’t know it yet.
I liked that Jerma was the second popular guy that played Seaman. Two legends played it.
Who?
Both your sonic and offtopic themed videos are amazing I hope it will be rewarding to you to
Oh wow, as you were describing the swatch thing and the beat timing method I realized it sounded similar to what pso's timer worked under, and then you mentioned pso and I felt so vindicated.
One of those things I wondered about for years but always forgot to look up. Great video!
When it was released it felt that everyone had a Dreamcast at least in my school so I was really surprised that it was discontinued. It didn't feel like the Saturn where I was the only one who had it.
Kids will ask their parents for whatever console all their friends have. Once a couple people buy one all their friends will want the same one.
Where I grew up everyone had a PS2 and then everyone had an Xbox 360.
I think I knew one single kid that had an original Xbox, not one person had a Dreamcast or Gamecube and when everyone moved to the Xbox 360 there were two kids in the whole town that had a PS3 instead.
I had several friends/aquintances locally with a dreamcast in a smaller town in the north east of the Netherlands.
@@stanbrule9357 we also played a ton of MvC2 so everyone who played MvC2 got a Dreamcast at school.
Thank you for the documentary, you have gained a new subscriber!
I love the scattershot rabbithole stuff man, subscribed!
Not even one second in and I can already tell this is gonna be another banger cybershell video. 😎
Can officially confirm, this is a banger video
to be fair, if cybershell described paint drying, i would watch it
[edit:] 25:25 nevermind, i watched him describing paint dry 😁
i actually really loved this video thank you cybershell
I love coming back to this video,a while back it helped me sleep.and as a 2012 kid it gives me nostalgia for a console I never had.Very good did great research!
I see myself rewatching this video many times, thanks cybershell!
The way he says "Number 13" Lmaooo
That was 100% intentional
I remembered seeing your video and just by chance, a real Gold Dreamcast was listed on ebay and it was numbered of 5. The listing ended yesterday I believe and it sold for 10,300.00. It was being sold out of Germany. I never heard of it before your video and this may be the only time I ever see one. I’ve seen the S.T.A.R.S. DC console more and it’s probably just as rare though I believe we’re produced. The gold DC was signed by a bunch of people and came in a really cool case.
Edit: I just checked ebay and yes, the listing ended yesterday but to my surprise, another from Germany sold in January for 11,100 with 120 bids versus yesterday’s with 74 bids. The one from January was 4 of 5 and the one from yesterday was 2 of 5.
That Dreamcast Generator demo disk takes me back. Great video as always, research must have taken a long time
I LOVE when Cybershell goes deep into the most obscure videogame related stuff, I sincerely wouldn't mind if he just talked about games noone heard about just in general
Fr lil bro
Haven't even watched it but considering it combines the two most coolest things ever (Cybershell + Dreamcast) it's already a masterpiece of a video.
Man the Dreamcast era was such a retro-futuristic fever dream
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. Perfect cozy Sunday morning content
I've actually seen a car with that type of chroma paint in real life that was parked around the place that I was having a jog during the summer, and I gotta say, that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. You have to physically see it for yourself to get the full picture but the car would completely change colors from purple to green depending on what angle I was looking at it from. So yeah, 10/10 paintjob would look at again
The fake out with the first #1 and then actually abruptly ending the video was a piece of genius, nicely done.
Devkits and prototypes are super interesting, please do a video about those too!
Hey, I have the first Dreamcast you mention! I got my Sega Sports edition of the console from a flea market. It was originally selling for $20, no controller, no memory thingy, no games. I was really interested in it because I'd never encountered a black one before. One of the vendors for the table the console was on asked if I was interested. I explained I wanted the console, but didn't have anymore cash on me (it was true, pretty sure she watched me buy a pretty wall fan next-door). She asked me to wait a second since it was her son's. She went and talked to him and after a second they both came back. After looking at which console I was interested in, and looking at me, he told me I could just have it. He used to play the console every day, but after a while he didn't have time to play it anymore and long before sold off the game collection for it. He said he was just happy it was going to someone who knew what it was and seemed to really want it. I have been loving it for over a decade now myself, and it's still an active device on my entertainment center.
not a single other channel's uploads get me as excited as these. redlettermedia is close but its so consistent i can sort of take it for granted. every cybershell upload is a blessing. i hope you dont trick yourself into thinking you dont have enough to say about seaman to make a whole video about it after this, i would love to hear you point out random shit about it that i already know
27:40 The game itself IS cool. I'm not even that big of a Gundam fan and it's easily one of my Top 5 Dreamcast favorites right next to Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. It's an arena shooter fair with loadouts based on the model mech chosen, and it gives you LOTS of control over the difficulty alongside it's own auto-balancer so you can find a spot where you're having fun no matter what you choose, even if you pick a the infamous BALL.
What about Big Zam?
Yeah, what about Big Zam!
@@JamisonHingle Yes, you can play a version of Big Zam. It's kinda boring though. I see you Grumps. :p
Isn't it just the DC version of the PS2 game called Federation vs Zeon? I would love to see a new Gundam game with a campaign like FvZ that played similarly but with a larger scale than just 4 units. The sequel to that game Gundam vs Zeta Gundam is hella good too.
@FiveByFive The interface and gameplay are identical to FvZ, so I'd assume they are basically the same game (Maybe just the arcade mode only).
I prefered the campaign in FvZ over GvZ, but the variety of suits was really nice. I'd LOVE a full Universal Century version, especially with some suits from other timelines added in and some GvZ style what-if timelines too.
While Gundam Crossfire was awful, it was the fun kind of awful. Something like that but large scale and actually finished would be awesome. I've also been dreaming of a Star wars Battlefront 2 (The real one) kind of game with the various classes being the various mobile suits.
I can listen to Cybershell for days and don't get bored a little bit.
31:16 Oh my God, I've wondered for YEARS what that internet time thing at the bottom of the pause menu in PSO1 was, and now thanks to you I finally know, thank you very much Cybershell!
the dreamcast is such a console ever, it definitely had games! sure was an experience! yup!
it also had a startup, with another one for the dev kit owners, truly making it a console.
It's the best Sega console released in 1998 ever
The Dreamcast had 2 sonic games, and those were definitely the sonic games ever. They had controls that let you controlled them.
One of the consoles SEGA ever released
It sold for money too
That dreamcastgallery site can be found on the internet archive as late as 2009. Do note that both contacts used by the site creator are defunct (ebay no longer lets you search by username, and business-bytes was a flash-based site from 2003 that seems to be completely gone)
What an amazing vid - and super informative. The Mobile Dreamcast Rover is now on my want list.
I stumbled across the Christmas Seaman Dreamcast a couple years ago. I had no idea how crazy the story behind it was!
14:34 I'm so sorry Seaman. We have all most certainly let you down in that regard
Why yes, I would love to watch a 40 minute video about a console that was discontinued 20 years ago
I would gladly watch an entire video about CyberShell talking about Seaman.
brb need to watch all those japanese commercials.
My god the compilation is amazing. Also that CSK console @34:03 was 20yrs ahead of its time. Facetiming a Doctor is now common place but is still fairly new tech that only took off during the pandemic. Thanks. Learned a lot watching this.
now my girl wont stop asking me to buy her a Hello Kitty Dreamcast cool thanks
banger video, pog stuff as always
I sincerely love the video format where you rope people in with Clickbait Content and then just talk about interesting stuff related to it.
The rarest dreamcast is the one my dog defecated onto. There is only one. And not even I have it anymore.
Oh sweet a cybershell video.
Dreamcast has the least amount of blue sphere out of all the Sega consoles. It wouldve been cool if blue sphere was on dreamcast. Oh well I'm sticking with the new sequel to the blue sphere game in sonic orgins. I've never thought there would be a true sequel to blue sphere, I'm so happy. Which is why I'm showing myself to the public.🔵
WE FOUND HIM!!
nah the console with the least blue spheres was master system
What a great effort, nice vid
I love how your videos stray from the main topic to cover some small details
If I’ve taken away something from this video, it’s that Shenmue and the Dreamcast really did share the same issue that led to their failure. Too much ambition.
Everything you talked about here sounds incredible and really forward thinking, but considering Sega had so much going on the time and tons of their money and resources were being drained like a waterfall, it was all too much at once over the course of 3 short years. It’s a real shame because had it all succeeded, we could have a very different tech landscape than the one we have now.
No, it was simply due to Sony being the evil Sony they are, and putting the entire Dreamcast game library online overnight and posting links to it everywhere so nobody would buy or release Dreamcast games anymore. They did this because they were releasing PS2 soon, which ended up being even crappier than Dreamcast even though it came out 1 year after
36:52 fun fact this version of Sonic Adventure shown here is not well documented.
It has a unique title screen and emerald coast ends in the middle of the stage. Very bizarre hopefully it's found some day.
Great memories and Summers off school playing PSO v.1 & v.2 day and night, lol.
Great video! 🙌🏻❤️ Thank you for the hit of nostalgia. 🤤
14:10
Oh GOD I wish. Seaman in hindsight was a bit to optimistic
Was just rewatching your Sonic LPs this morning after being hyperfixated on your channel again - like any sane Cybershell watcher -- and I was pleasantly surprised to find this in my recommended. I look forward to seeing all the content you have in-store
After seeing that funny ending I just had to check and make sure I’m subscribed
Ok I actually really enjoyed this video a lot and learned so much about the Dreamcast, I never ever do this but I feel it’s deserved to be notified when you upload. I’m a member of the notification squad now. Excellent video! Keep up the good work!
I actually worked with Nippon and even maziora paint when I first started tinkering with guitars in the early 2000s.
A longtime colleague and friend is one of the most prolific finishing experts.... known the world over for his work with musical instruments.
I've seen and work with all kinds of crazy stuff thanks to the access and NeverEnding assortments of things he works with and is exposed to. Also run across all kinds of weird and interesting things like that at The NAMM show every year.
I have always focused predominantly on vintage reproduction instruments because that's what appealed to me most. I mean I still do work with electric guitars and things but usually they're more of your classic timeless and famous designs. A good 90% of my orders consisted of vintage reproductions and things like that.
And I was always a few years behind on orders... And at least for me personally it work best if I only took orders for designs that I appreciated or was interested in exploring.
But every now and then something different would come along that sounded interesting and appealing enough that I would take the job. And that's predominantly when I worked with new and interesting materials and finishes.
Holy shit that ending was fantastic. You are genuinely one of the funniest personalities I've ever seen.
Amazing video, loved the ending. You should probably do a whole vid on Seaman yknow.
when's the "there's nothing offensive about genocide" bonus video
