Apple has just released important updates for the iPhone and iPad. The new updates, iOS and iPadOS 15.2.1, include fixes for opening iCloud links while in iMessage alongside other general fixes. The new update weighs in at around 650-950MB, depending on your device.
This should be a lighter evening. There doesn’t seem to be corresponding updates for the Apple Watch or Apple TV
Gaming History You Should Know – Video Game Lost Media January 9, 2022
Posted by Maniac in Gaming History You Should Know, Uncategorized.add a comment
It’s Sunday, and that means it’s time for us to once again discuss Gaming History You Should Know. Recently, I’ve been impressed by the deep documentaries produced by YouTube Channels like BlameitonJorge and All Things Lost, where they have gone into deep searches for obscure media. In fact, we even did our own lost media search last week. However, I’m sure you’ve seen that there have been much more of video game related content that is considered lost. This title can be bestowed on content that has either been finished and withheld from release or released before the opportunity for archiving
First off, we’re going to highlight one of the biggest franchises in the world, Pokémon. Due to the fact it has been releasing games, movies, toys, television shows and spin-off games for twenty-five years. YouTube Channel PaPaSec has created what is probably one of the tightest videos I’ve seen about the most well-known Pokémon lost media. Check it out!
Next up, we’re going to highlight the work of the adorable YouTube Channel Sakura Stardust. In this video, she talks about some of the most obscure lost Pokémon media. How obscure is some of this? I’ve been following Pokémon for years and I hadn’t even HEARD of some of this stuff. Enjoy.
Moving on from Pokémon, let’s talk about another classic game franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog. YouTube Channel All Things Lost, one of the best Lost Media channels on the web, has us covered. He highlights some of the lost media and incomplete Sonic games that have not been archived. Sonic X-Treme is not featured, as it has been found.
So that was just the tip of the iceberg for some video game content that is currently considered lost. I’m sure in the future we will have another article like this, so until next time, Happy New Year!

Last year, we broadcasted the news that a full-length documentary was being created to discover the history behind one of the internet’s first meme, the gamer that was duct taped to the ceiling during a LAN Party. Now, if you’re too young to remember what a LAN Party was, don’t worry about it. Needless to say, it was a huge part of 90s PC and early Xbox gaming culture.
Since the trailer was revealed, we hadn’t heard very much about the full documentary’s progress until earlier this week. The documentary‘s director, Tyler Knowles, published its first minute, and provided a status update. Take it away, Tyler.
Internet Legends: Duct Tape Gamer will be released on YouTube for free later this year.
E3 2022 Will Be Virtual January 8, 2022

The Electronic Entertainment Expo has officially announced that their 2022 E3 event will once again be virtual. This will mark the third year no E3 event has taken place in a physical location, and all announcements from the event will once again be broadcasted over the web.
E3 has always held a special place in my heart since I first heard about it in 1999. To be allowed into E3 was a sign you had “made it” in the gaming industry, and it had been considered a high honor for your game to be previewed at the event. However, the current world events have made international travel a dicey prospect.
We will keep you all posted with the details on how to check out the event online as they are made available.
Lost Media – Help Me Find this 90s Disney Channel Arcade Movie January 2, 2022
Posted by Maniac in Lost Media, Site Videos.add a comment
Ten years ago, Maniac wrote about a movie he saw on the Disney Channel back when it was a premium cable station. It was about a group of teenagers that had their own basement arcade and followed their antics as they played a game together. Unfortunately, he was never able to learn it’s name, and because of that has been unable to find it or any further information about it. However, Maniac has noticed that the search for Lost Media has become a popular pastime online over the past few years with its own major subculture.
With all that in mind, Maniac humbly provides his plea on for someone to assist him with finding this obscure film. In the video below, he provides all the details he remembers about what he saw happen in the movie, and the details of the search he’s done up to this point. Enjoy.
Hope this video has been some help to anyone interested in assisting with the search. Maniac has already deduced this movie would have broadcasted no later than October 1992. Due to its age and obscurity, finding information about any Disney Channel content online has been difficult, and it’s possible the only record of the movie’s existence is in the pages of an old issue of Disney Channel Magazine.
Happy New Year!
