More That New Toy Smell Memories and Missing Epsiodes Since you all seemed to enjoy that look back at TNTS, DiRT went ahead and did some data recovery on his old 1TB backup drive and found some more files. Today we'll finish off Episode 5 and look at what remains of Episodes 6 and 7.

I Used To Do A Show Called “That New Toy Smell” DiRT's been doing a lot of cleaning lately (you know, being stuck in the house and all that) and found an old hard drive with TNTS footage on it. Here's what remains of Episode 5, plus some outtakes, unused logo colors, and more!

I will always remember about Blip.tv. It was a platform where many "content creators" started their careers. It was better than YouTube because it wasn't so strict about copyright issues, which is neat when you're doing media analysis and you need to show movie clips to prove your point (imagine doing a thesis and your supervisor tells you that you can't quote other pre-existing books, otherwise people might not want to buy those books, being satisfied just by reading your quotes... After all, you don't have the rights on those so you can't complain... mental, eh?) and was built more for serialisation, around the idea of your "show" or "programme".

One day, a subsidiary of Disney bought everything and so for a while, those people were Disney employees. The situation was stable for... maybe a year? A couple of years? I can't remember frankly... Then, they liquidated the company and closed the site. So all of a sudden, those people who made their living just from that were out of a job.

Many continued on YouTube which... is not great, because they're paid less and less and everyone by now needs to have a Patreon to keep going and there's nothing else they can do, because yay monopolies, right?

But I think that without those who were on Blip and their sometimes weird and wonky series which created an audience for this type of content (aka a humourous takedown of movies/discussion of tropes in an unpretentious manner), we wouldn't have the video essayists of today (some of whom are the same people — I think, for example, of Lindsay Ellis, who's been nominated for a Hugo Award for a series of videos about The Hobbit trilogy).

hey i have a question. ever since RandL updated their website (to make it the beautiful streamlined thing it is now) i don't know how to access the behind the scenes videos that had been exclusively on their channel. i'm looking for the bts for "Out of Sink" the sketch they did with the water taps in a restroom. there was a funny moment where they had to decide on placement for the water tube that i wanted to revisit. do you know if the video is anywhere or if there are gifs of it?

Oh man, man, man. That’s bad. I think it used to be on blip.tv as well, but that’s gone now too. (On a somewhat unrelated note, the marriage proposal video is no longer with us either, it was exclusively on blip.tv. fuck) I recall watching the BTS type stuff on that website.

I feel like I was about to gif the video you’re looking for (I LOVE IT SO MUCH) but I think it had been giffed? So there must be gifs somewhere. Aha, yep, went through the bts tag on my blog. Right here is a gifset by @graveyard-whistler! I’m not sure if there are more gifs of that video, though.

I am so sad to see it gone, I loved it a lot...I wonder if anyone had it saved up, or has a way to access it or any of the other BTS/blip.tv videos.

Blip.tv sleeps with the fishes

I feel bad for the content creators who are currently scrambling to move their catalogues over to other video hosting services, I really do.

However, it is impossible for me to feel bad for Blip because blip were a bunch of assholes. So long blip, you sucked and I’m glad you’re gone.
