Second account of the extremely strange events surrounding Reviewer Linkara. Again a breach of the boundaries of dimensions was localized. It needs to be further investigated what caused the breakage, possibly another Insano.
The Great Secret
The Dancing Death
Report on the extremely strange events, the epicenter of which seems to be a reviewer named Linkara. We’ve picked up some very strange energies that raise suspicions of a breakthrough to an alternate universe. This process has dragged on for the past few weeks, so here is the summary, confronting the dancing death whose heart is steel.
The Terrible
Alliances were formed. Bubbles have formed. But are the sides of the reviewers irreconcilable? When the Nostalgia Critic wants to celebrate the anniversary of his website “TGWTG” this morning, he has no idea that he will soon be involved in a fight of epic proportions….
The Claim Jumpers
I like to be positively surprised. Let’s see if that guy with the hat doesn’t come across as annoying as a lot of the others.
That Guy with the Hat answers questions and is somehow obsessed with woodchucks. His name is Linkara and his original purpose is to review comics.
Up to this point, Linkara has always done his comic reviews in text form. This is a new step for him – a review in video form. His reign is “Atop the Fourth Wall”. This review is about Spider-Man #56 (in two parts).
Part 2.
The Vengeance of Deebar
There seems to be more and more angry people coming out in public. Is it good? You shouldn’t suppress feelings, that’s true, but does that mean you have to shout them out to the world? That remains to be seen. Anyway, another reviewer has emerged who has the word “angry” in his name – Angry Joe. As the saying goes, he’s “mad as a Deebar”. Or are we dealing with Deebar’s vengeance here? And so it begins…
The Electric Man
In these times more and more unusual people appear. If they use their talents well, much can be gained. This one has an unusual talent and is trying to solve a great mystery.
Stark Treachery
The faster times get, the more nostalgia seems to be in vogue. And now this Nostalgia Critic has arrived. In this his taking on the Transformers movie. We will follow his career with great interest.
The Death Mist
This guy seems like a pioneer. Although he’s just some jerk with a camera, he’s presenting his world to us. A world in crisis!
The Pool of Peril
Once in a lifetime there is a man, and he’s the man! He’s got all the powers! Lost in the world of past, in the echo of ancient blast, there is a man of future, a man of mystery. No trails to lead the way, in his search for a yesterday. Misty illusions hiding his famous destiny. Spoony, the touch of fire. Spoony, the proud and free desire. He never sees the sun, he’s always on the run, him and his days are gone. They say he will go on, his search goes on and on.

Spoony takes on the hardest game that has ever been made.

2nd part.
The Fiery Abyss
We’ll have to take a closer look. The world could change a lot in the next few years and people who can withstand the fiery abyss are needed. Maybe we’ll find someone here…
This is an unusual beginning. But well, if someone claims something that doesn’t belong to them, that’s a possibility. So, MarzGurl is the name. What else is there?
MarzGurl will go to Japan this year and report from there. We can be excited. That’s a big task that she has set herself.
The Land of the Dead
Times change. I can feel it in the wind. I can feel it in the water. I feel it…
The nerds will rise. And I have a feeling that this one will be one of the ones that will lead the way. He walks so others can run. After all, he’s just a nerd. No, an angry nerd. An angry video game nerd. He wants to let his anger out. The Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) is entering the land of the dead… the brain dead.
I.
In this case, his anger is about the game Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest. Released on the Nintendo Entertainment System just a year after the first in the series, Castlevania II should have been equally as acclaimed. Though as it’s the focus of an AVGN video, there are of course numerous shortcomings which prevent Simon’s Quest from hitting the same highs as the original Castlevania.
With horrendous day to night transitions, having to throw holy water everywhere you go, and possibly the easiest boss in video game history; Simon’s Quest was the perfect place for The Nerd to start dissecting the crappiest games known to man.
II.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. It was developed by Advance Communication Company and published by Toho & Bandai (who also put out the Godzilla toys). It is slow moving side-scroller, with notoriously bad controls and confusing gameplay. During gameplay, you alternate between Hyde or Jekyll where you will either try to avoid taking damage or kill monsters. Dr. Jekyll is supposed to be on his way to a wedding, but on the way he’s getting annoyed by people bothering him on his walk, which causes him to turn into Hyde.
AVGN is on it again…
Flaming Death
This tale begins in the year 2006, in the city of San Francisco, where a young man named Jack Dorsey had a burning idea. Inspired by the concept of short, status updates and the efficiency of SMS messages, he envisioned a platform that would allow people to express themselves in brief bursts of 140 characters or less. And so, the foundations of Twitter were laid.
But like any good story, there were twists and turns along the way. Jack Dorsey, along with his co-founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, faced numerous challenges in bringing their creation to life. Funding was scarce, and the team encountered technical hurdles that threatened to ground their ambitious project before it ever took flight.
However, like the resilient little bird they had chosen as their mascot, the team persisted. In March 2006, Twitter officially took its first fluttering steps into the world, with its first-ever tweet sent by Jack Dorsey: “just setting up my twttr.” The simplicity and novelty of the concept quickly caught the attention of early adopters, and the platform began to gain traction.
At the time, nobody would have believed that an old saying would come true: If you fly too high, you get too close to the sun. And like Daedalus, son of Icarus, Twitter fell toward flaming death.
The Palace of Horror
I would like to testify that I was officially involved in the affairs of the ASTROCOHORS CLUB that day. On that day we had noticed an unusual blip in the lower band. As it turned out, this was the first contact with an alien realm, where an evil overlord was trying to seize control and rule the realms from his Palace of Horrors.
But as I found out, his arrogance over a few freaks was his undoing. He wanted to dominate them all, this lord of freaks.
This is the story of a downfall.
The Lord of the Freaks – Part 1: The Fellowship of the Freaks
The Lord of the Freaks – Part 2: The Two Freaks
The Lord of the Freaks – Part 3: The Return of the Freak
This was a journey that took three years to be completed. Thanks to the brave inhabitants of this strange world, a catastrophe was averted. The connection between the realms has been closed. But it seems like there are some happy hobbits on our side who want to make everyday life better. If so, we can only welcome it. Until then we will have to wait and see.
Me at the zoo | YouTube
If you only have one dimension available, things can get tiresome quickly. But maybe this coin has two sides. The creativity must not be limited. And that was exactly the idea when a couple of friends had something to discuss: Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal. Hurley had studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
The inspiration for a new kind of video website obviously first came from Janet Jackson’s role in 2004 Super Bowl incident when her breast was exposed during her performance, and later from the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Karim could not easily find video clips of either event online, which led to the idea of a video sharing site. Hurley and Chen said that the original idea was a video version of an online dating service, and had been influenced by the website Hot or Not. They created posts on Craigslist asking attractive women to upload videos of themselves to YouTube in exchange for a $100 reward. Difficulty in finding enough dating videos led to a change of plans, with the site’s founders deciding to accept uploads of any type of video.
Hurley and Chen developed the idea during the early months of 2005, after they had experienced difficulty sharing videos that had been shot at a dinner party at Chen’s apartment in San Francisco.
The domain name www.youtube.com was activated on February 14, 2005, and the website was developed over the subsequent months. The first YouTube video, titled Me at the zoo, shows co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo. The video was uploaded on April 23, 2005.
You never know where things are going. But maybe it is worth adding a new location to this story. So there is a new department of the ASTROCOHORS CLUB:
starting with a simple visit at the zoo. Because the elephants, you know…
But…
What will you do, when they get you?
What will you do, when they break you?
If you continue, what will you… become?

Freezing Torture
In the dormitories of Harvard University, a young man named Mark Zuckerberg sat hunched over his computer, peering into the digital realm with a glimmer of ambition in his eyes. Little did he know that his late-night endeavors would soon sow the seeds for what would become one of the most influential and pervasive social platforms in the world—Facebook.
Our tale begins in the early 2000s, a time when the internet was rapidly transforming the way people connected and communicated. Mark, a brilliant computer programmer with a penchant for innovation, saw an opportunity to create a digital space where students could connect, share ideas, and build virtual communities.
Armed with a passion for coding and a burning desire to leave his mark on the world, Mark embarked on a journey to bring his vision to life. With the help of his college roommates, Andrew McCollum, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place.
In February 2004, Facebook emerged from the depths of Mark’s dorm room, originally known as “TheFacebook.” It started as an exclusive platform for Harvard students, igniting a spark of excitement and curiosity among the campus population. The concept was simple yet powerful—a digital space where users could create profiles, upload photos, and connect with friends and acquaintances.
As word of this novel platform spread like wildfire, the demand for expansion grew. Mark’s brainchild soon reached other prestigious universities, spreading its roots to Stanford, Columbia, and beyond. With each new expansion, the social network evolved, adapting to the needs and desires of its ever-growing user base.
But like any great tale, there were hurdles to overcome. Facebook faced challenges in balancing user privacy, dealing with controversies, and fending off competition from other budding social platforms. Yet, through it all, Mark’s relentless determination and the collective spirit of his team propelled Facebook forward, transforming it into a global sensation.
As the platform expanded beyond college campuses, Facebook became a virtual melting pot, bridging gaps between people, cultures, and continents. It evolved from a mere networking tool into a juggernaut of social interaction, encompassing everything from personal connections to business ventures and societal movements.
