God damnit. I just watched that one last week and it got a legitimate chuckle out of me. I wonder if there is an archive channel lying around somewhere.

Ho ho ho, here it is! Turns out that Wayback Machine sometimes archives videos, so far I've found Blair Witch and Life is Strange(both removed). Wayback Machine is just so fucking slow. Throw the link of the video into yt-dlp and it downloads the video if it exists. I'm downloading whatever else is available that is missing from the channel.

Is anyone backing up his videos? Sometimes there's a mass purge and it looks like Expleened got hit this time. Parasite Eve, Resident Evil 3, Alone in the Dark 1-3, all Silent Hill games after 3, other things I can't remember. Half the videos are seemingly gone.

Some of them have been uploaded here, and I've got copies for my channel just in case this gets taken down too.

I downloaded a couple of the Storymode videos to my laptop a while back but only have the Resident Evil 3 one out of the deleted videos.

I think he deleted a lot of his Incognito videos, too. I remember there being a lot more vids where he and his friends read bad fan fiction.

In my schizo mind, he had to get rid of this one because he mentions Russia and Ukraine in the same sentence and people are crazy now so he got rid of it for optics.
But in all seriousness, it's probably the vaccine jokes. He got scared the AU government was gonna go after him for "spreading misinformation" (Srsly, they do shit like that!). Because other than that, the videos funny and well-edited.

I grabbed most of his videos on the main channel a couple of years ago, and just checked - he also took down Gamestop's Battle with Toads at some point. So here it is:


Also, can someone please grab Planking: A Historical Footnote? It's age-restricted for some reason and I don't wanna log into yt-dlp right now

Just backed up everything available on Storymode myself. According to Wayback machine entries, we're missing:

Thank you guys so much. I legit thought I was going insane, remembering videos that “didn’t exist”. I need a good laugh.

If someone wants to cobble together clips or just the audio from reactions channels, it’s another option but you’d have to watch reaction vids, and I don’t know if any of us love IH that much.

I used to be in the camp of "where's the main channel video you lazy fuck" but Incognito have gotten so good over time.

Plus several of the Storymode videos are starting to return. No idea what's going on, maybe they check for sensitive content or it could be that they are using other peoples footage of the games. The internet is stupid and I can image some angry idiot filing a complaint because that's THEIR footage of Capcom's Resident Evil 1 intro.

IH is absolutely the best thing on YouTube. No Man's Sky and Fallout '76 are brilliant pieces of satirical-but-serious documentary.

He's a New Zealander, though. That goofy accent is unmistakable.

Didn't he say in 76 that he was Australian? Or is it like Canadians who move to the US?
