That's relatively new, it at least goes back when he was probably still using Windows 98SE.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me in the least...

I wonder if REoL actually calls each floor a "phase"

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:

I deliberately moved to an apartment located high up in a Soviet highrise so I'd get to ride an elevator every day.

Originally, these things used to be bizarre 1970s plywood things with no doors on the car, which made them SO EXCITING!

Unfortunately, they have since been rebuilt into extremely boring stainless steel things and the machine doesn't let out an amazing hollow clunk when you start it anymore.

I feel cheated and wronged.

I am being completely unironic.

I thought you were in rehab

When is he going to start doing commentaries over other people's elevator videos, or commentary over famous elevator video clips is what I like to know. I'd like to hear his opinions on this elevator vid.

It was like in January 2003 I think. I believe it was in the transition phase between those two stages. I posted a dumb link to a site that got hacked into a html chat site where people kept posting the pain series of jpegs.

Lowtax posted:

Last time I checked on his Youtube channel, he was spending his time creating and uploading 2,698 videos of himself riding elevators and reviewing them, a fan favorite amongst the large group of people in The Elevator Community Wiki. However, I recently noticed he has expanded his content to include:

Videos of him walking across the street and reviewing the crosswalk and giving his opinion of the drivers in the area.

Hour long videos of him bowling (he is not good at bowling).

Hour long videos of him building bowling alleys in Minecraft.

A video, recorded in 4k, of him walking upstairs in a bowling alley.

I remember him being obsessive about putting meticulous detail into his bad Doom maps but that's a whole new level of crazy :stare:

A little post of his from history: Message From King REoL.

Last time I checked on his Youtube channel, he was spending his time creating and uploading 2,698 videos of himself riding elevators and reviewing them, a fan favorite amongst the large group of people in The Elevator Community Wiki. However, I recently noticed he has expanded his content to include:

Hour long videos of him bowling (he is not good at bowling).

Hour long videos of him building bowling alleys in Minecraft.

A video, recorded in 4k, of him walking upstairs in a bowling alley.

He even interacts with his viewers, letting them vote on where he should film himself bowling next! This is a particularly fetching video, as you get to see what the man, the legend looks like. It's basically what you would expect:

No real point to this thread, just wanted to treat the old school Goons to a "where are they now?" special. I do encourage all of you to check out his channel and be amazed by the excitement of utter banality. And remember to read the comments for each video, because no matter how inane the video is, there are huge fans who love to share their opinions of the topic in question, such as which company produces the best elevator floor buttons, and how peeved they get when the hydraulics are slower than they should be. The internet is truly a magical and wonderful place!

Kind of sad to see a dude put that much effort into his YouTube channel and for it to go nowhere. I suppose it makes him happy though.

Also in his latest bowling video he says "Well some backdoor action helped there" and I had a silly chuckle.

King REoL is weird even by the standards of most of the forum weirddos from back then considering he was already in his 30s when he started posting around here, and didn't even have the excuse of being a teenager to explain his behaviour.

The elevator thing is profoundly strange but at least it's pretty harmless.

Also did fiwer actually get married? :psyduck:
