I play #retrogaming classics for the first time on YouTube. Professional digresser. But I digress.
Now playing: #SWTOR & #Pokemon Black Version.
This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: What If Doomguy Played NHL 2K10?

So the AI is ripping off 2BC's General Zod series, then? Except that it wants Doomguy modded into the game and turned into the Bash Brothers but on crack, steroids and Doom powerups.

I'm not saying the YouTube copyright system is broken but I uploaded today's video over a week ago for copyright checks. Nothing flagged until I went live.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Madden 2003: The "Angry" Retro Franchise Review

I thought this was YT seeing people watch my and Angry Joe's vids but it seems to think Madden 2003 has "unique 'angry' mechanics." I don't remember those on PS2.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: WWF War Zone: A Modded Replay Retrospective

The AI makes the wild & incorrect assumption that people modded War Zone. I own it on PS1 and I'm fine if no one mods that one. SmackDown blows it out of the water.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: The Rise and Fall of College Football Gaming

Actually, it's a good idea, even if the AI is hyperfocused on the EA games. There's meat on these bones in a rise, fall & rise arc.

The thumbnails are peak AI lunacy, though.

Never understood how the broken YouTube copyright system gets me a random Content ID six-and-a-half years after I post a video. Then again, if creators understood the system, maybe we could do something about it.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: ESPN NFL 2K5 Resurrected: What If the Jets Won the Super Bowl?

Of all the weird AI ideas, this might be the most unrealistic. Would've taken prime Joe Namath for this to happen in 2005 and even then they're too cursed.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Let's Play NFL Street (2004) - 2025 Mod - The Streetball Revolution

No, it's not a bad idea. I'd love to play an #NFLStreet mod. The problem is the AI thumbnails are either not street ball or not football.

I get the Misery Index score but things don't feel that bad for Detroit sports. Well, other than the Red Wings with their individual 92/100 misery score. That's the odd team out which was the case growing up for the opposite reason.

This week in weird YouTube AI idea: The Future of Madden: Is it Hopeless?

The AI just stole a SoftDrinkTV idea. So for once, we've got a good suggestion complete with smart focus areas. We still get weird AI thumbnails!

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: ESPN College GameDay 2003 (2025 Mod)

The AI invented a new game franchise. ESPN branding was on a lot of games but not a college football game. Though GameDay branding on a CFB game sounds like a solid idea.

I was thinking of getting #ProjectMotorRacing early on (probably based on user reviews) but if the game has been portioned apart from the planning stage, why shouldn't I wait until it's in one complete package? No sense in buying part of a game for a full game's price.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Doom 3: Was it a Trap?

YouTube has heard me invoke Admiral Ackbar so many times that it's now including it in the AI ideas. But the actual premise of changing #Doom from action to horror shooter being controversial is sound.

Another longform video in the books this week but that just means I get right back to work on the next one. Doing a follow-up to an older video and then a follow-up to this at the end of the year. (And maybe more after that as time progresses.)

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Retro Gaming Showdown: NCAA Football 06 vs NHL 07

Just because I played mods for these games, the algorithm thinks a comparison video to be made. We're stretching the "intelligence" of artificial intelligence.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Doom (1993) - The Best 10 Weapons Ranked

The AI doesn't realize that the original Doom only had 8 weapons if you include your fists. The AI thumbnails invented a few new ones, mostly chainsaws on guns, to get us there.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: NBA 2K5 Resurrection: The Ultimate Roster Guide

The AI has hallucinated an update to NBA 2K5 in the style of NFL 2K5 Resurrected. There are some NBA Live mods for that era, though.

Still, weird AI thumbnails.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Why Madden NFL 26 is Actually Good

Working under the assumption that critics and gamers will review Madden 26 poorly, YouTube's AI already has an outline written to counter that narrative. Let the game come out first.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Let's Play NCAA Football 06 - Unrealistic Trade Deadline

I think the AI just takes my popular vids and mashes them with "related videos." It doesn't stop to think if it makes sense.

Still, more AI thumbnails!

Two things:
1. Who does a demo locked behind a pre-order gate? Who does that help unless you're hiding something?
2. Calling it the "Foundry Demo" cements my conclusion that THPS4 is an afterthought in marketing and development.

This week in weird YouTube AI ideas: Could NBA 2K Ever Rival NHL 2K?

I'm not even sure what that could mean. There hasn't been a proper NHL 2K game for 15 years. If it was "Could 2K Have Rivaled EA," I'd get it.

At least we have more weird thumbnails!

I had a whole lovely intro segment with the #NHL07 2025 mod's intro in the background... Then Content ID happened. So apologies when you see this message on Monday. But the modders names are leading off the video so you can't miss it this time.

It wouldn't be one of my mod videos if I wasn't irritating Content ID. The whole intro video on this mod got claimed so I'll try to find a way around it and have this video up on Monday. #NHL #EANHL #YouTube

YouTube now has an AI algorithm to help you conceptualize videos. The problem is that it still needs some work on its concept thumbnails...
