🔍LOST MEDIA | THREAD🔎

Posted 3 years, 4 months ago (Edited 1 year, 6 months ago) by BIRD

Have a certain video, tv show, movie, short or game thats on the tip of your tongue, or that youve been trying to find but can’t seem to find any info on it? I’ve been there! If so, this is the thread for you! 


Share your mysteries to others, or help others with finding stuff about that specific media! I’ve always had a huge passion with this type of stuff so I’d love to help if I find anything of use!

can be super recent, can be super old. Can be a YouTube video, or it can be a tv show, movie, or a video game! ANYTHING.


god I’ve been meaning to make a thread like this for a while but I always forget to :( . This thread is heavily inspired by r/tipofmytongue and blameitonjorge (he makes a ton of lost media discovery videos! Go watch em if you’re interested in that stuff, it’s REALLY interesting and well made! Prob one of my favorites so far atm).

Neoeryn I hadn't, actually! that's it, thank you so much :D

Heres one to reignite this thread once again. I will cry if someone tells me WHAT this is, or if it actually is real or not.

So i remember when i was young i had this game console when i was young, thing is, its so obscure, and i remember so little of it, that i cant find anything online. I dont really remember much of what it played aside from this pirate looking game i played on it. This was a KIDS console, prob for young children.

Now one distinct feature i remember was the remote. I distinctively remember it being yellow and blue, maybe with some orange on it? Looks like those cheap kids microphones, but I dont think it was, since i THINK it had a round shape instead of a round flat top shape. It think it also had a light inside that changed colour, but I'm not 100%. Might not be on point, but this is a drawing recreation of what i remember it looking like (not exactly btw, i think it had some red on it but im not sure). 

IMG_4761.png(i know it looks sus but this is all my brain could come up with)

unsure if it was motion sensored. It had buttons on it, that im sure of.

for the console box itself, thats when my mind gets a bit blurry. I THINK it mightve been orange, but i dont know. I dont remember the shape, size, anything like that.


Consoles/remotes ive already crossed off my list of possibilities

  • Themed gamecube
  • Plug and play
  • X box
  • wii accessories
  • Playstation move motion controllers
  • (new) leap frog
  • (new) vsmile

Id love to know if i dreamed about this console or if i actually had it, because im starting to doubt myself. If i dont find anything, and if im 100% sure that its real, ill prob end up posting this on r/tipofmytongue, or ill search in my basement if i could maybe find it. Id love to hear yall suggestions though, cause i have nothing so far and google aint doing much

Lilina sorry to ping you, but was it the book, skellig lol?

BIRD There's definitely no way it was one of those "Vtech" or "LeapFrog" kids' devices, right? That's all that comes to mind. Although I remember those primarily being green so it doesn't match your drawing. 

Edit: oops I just realised someone else suggested that already 

BIRD

TrinityTheLostFlame hmmmm, good suggestion but i dont think it was a vsmile! I dont really remember it having the attachements it comes with.. also i dont think it had cartridges like that, but idk

I think it mightve come from a rip off company and it was just extremely underground, but im not sure. 

i super appreciate your efforts though! I dont rlly have much to go off of so its kind of hard to go more into detail 

SherbetToons i was also thinking leap frog but its a pretty well known company, and i feel like id instantly remember it being one if it was (also yeah, most, if not all their products are handheld rip 🥲).

Never really posted something like this before, but I thought I'll try since I want to see if anyone remembers this too.

I remember seeing a music video for Katy Perry's song Dark Horse, but it wasn't like the ancient Egyptian themed one everyone knows. I'll try and explain the plot.

The entire music video is in black and white. The main character is a girl (age 20s?) with straight black hair. I think it was Katy Perry because they looked identical. So this girl is asleep, and we see her cat (a white persian) go through a pet door. The girl wakes up, and crawls through the pet door, and she enters a kind of alternate dimension, the buildings are very Suess-like. Again, everything is still black and white. She walks around trying to find her cat, and enters a butcher shop, where there is a man cutting a steak. This part has always stuck out to me because it focuses on the steak, which is leaking juice. The girl and the butcher talk and judging by their body language, they've become friendly with each other. The ending of the music video is kinda fuzzy in my mind, I think it ends with the girl finding her cat and she leaves with the butcher too? 

So, two things that make this interesting: the song used in this music video isn't the original, but instead an acoustic cover with Perry's vocals. Also, the strangest part: this was made in 2011, which would have been two years before the song was released I believe.

Part of me feels as if this might've been a dream, but I remember too much of what happened, and its not like anything bizarre happened prior. Even if this isn't found, I want to know that there have been others who've seen this so I know I wasn't imagining it...

creamy_cafe i did a lil digging for fun and couldn't find that video but i found a video that's acoustic and uses black and white photo of katy (video) and there's like this album art that's kinda black and white

BIRD i couldn't find anything with a mic like thing but maybe this is similar? If you could add around what year it was that you had it that might help narrow it down  even if its just a range like 2000-2007.

Looking for a band photo I saw long time ago as well as the band name. Back when I was a kid when I was frequently using computer cafe, one of the computers has a certain wallpaper of a picture band and I can't find the pic itself nor identification of the band.

There is still something in my memory in my childhood that is still causing a memory hole. Which was my time when I used to frequent in a computer cafe. 

I am still lookng for that band and band pic I saw in a computer cafe long a go. (Also a loose, possibly inaccurate sketch based from memory of the band pic I saw long ago)

There is this particular picture that is used in one of the computers, a picture of a band. Seems like a picture of a nu or alt metal band with four members. The file name unfortunately lead to nothing, as it was only named as "item", so it's hard to find what band or source is the picture from. The computer cafe is gone nowadays, and this particular band picture is bugging me out since I kept thinking of the computer cafe. As someone who keeps hanging out the computer cafe from daytime to nighttime back then, I saw a friendster page of someone containing the band pictures. Possibly it has the band name, but I was young that time and I see pictures more than words. Different pictures from individual pictures of the band and band pictures themselves.

Here are some details of the picture I saw back then based from memory:
- Picture of the band has 4 members, all male
- some or one of them had either long hair or having dreadlocks, some of them have dyed hair. Some could have short hair, I don't remember. I am sure one of them either have a long hair or dreads.
- One of the members in the picture is wearing sleeve cover with holes as far as i remember, and wears gloves. He also have a guitar with the "LTD" label.
- One of the members wears a black sleeveless shirt with a red symbol or something. That's all i remember regarding a member outfit.
- As far as i remember, some of them wear make up.
- Most of them wear black, or at least the typical edgy nu-metal or mallgoth look.
- They seem to be a nu metal or an alt metal band (or probably industrial rock/metal or goth metal band).
- Possibly the band picture could be from 90s or 2000s.
I tried looking for the band name that had the similar image but I can't find the particular picture or the band. (The nu metal band "Dope" came to my mind with a member having dreads or colored hair, but unfortunately it's not them). It could be some obscure nu or alt metal band, who knows.

Bands suggested but ruled out/not them:
- Dope
- Korn
- Static X
- Murder Dolls/Wednesday 13
- Coal Chamber
- Mudvayne
- Sepultura
- Twisted Method
- Taproot
- Union Underground

Misc details:
Unrelated to the picture I saw back then, but i remember seeing one of the band members have a picture of themselves and a voodoo looking doll.
If anyone know the name of this band and the picture I mentioned based from the descriptions, please let me know.

Might be inaccurate sketch of the said photo based from my memory

Finch_Of_Clovers sadly it isnt that! Im very sure it was a fully built console that needed to be plugged into a tv.

So I didn`t find it but things that may help you ,or others if your cool with giving out the info, is around the year you were using it Ex 2006-2009. And if it was a part of a school thing vaguely where you lived like state/providence whatever else. Of course that info is like delicate info so that up to your comfort level but on your own it may help for a google search.  Something like this : App game used in 2008 at Billy Bobs Elementary: some schools record that stuff down so it may be assessable with the right search not a grantee but worth a shot.
