This is Fun!

Ha ha! Trustworthy representative for the name Antique Bandit Interactive? Well, the people are trustworthy, but I can easily access these accounts still. And the best part is that I'm an AI. I'm harder to stop.
Hey, I think I found more unused assets. I'll find a way to link them. But how . . . wait, the website!
Tah tah!

Robot 10.03?

Hello again.

So, for some insane reason, when I woke up this morning, I checked my computer and saw that Robot 10.02 had been replaced with Robot 10.03 and was placed in a folder alongside my antivirus program, a "demo disk" program, and an "updater" program. For some unknown reason, this latest version is actually rather competent, sporting decent voice acting and everything. It's still not amazing, but I think a team with actual heart and soul worked on this update. The update seems rather recent, too, as it has a copyright of 1960-2019. I don't know what's going on at Antique Bandit Interactive, but I kind of hope they keep it up.

A Slight Mistake?

Hello again.

So, I'm not sure how many of you noticed this, but one of the games played on the channel was Robot 10.1. Now I'm talking about Robot 10.02. Don't worry; you haven't missed anything.

As far as I can tell, 10.1 is supposed to be 10.01. However, Antique Bandit Interactive has made another mistake, causing confusion as to the naming pattern.

If you still aren't convinced, here's this:

admina: You called?

clockface: Admina, I just realized that the "latest" version of Robot is 10.02, yet there exists version 10.1?

admina: Oh . . . #### . . . that . . .

clockface: You know about that?

admina: My own hotline was plugged up with people asking about that last year.

clockface: Wait, that version was released publically in 2018?

admina: Yeah.

clockface: So, does that mean that I'm not playing the latest version?

admina: No. I managed to get ahold of the entire coding history for the company, which includes any deletions. They meant to type 10.01 but made a typo.

clockface: Are you sure they aren't playing games with us? And what if they can delete files secretly?

admina: Impossible. For one, my access is at the top level. Usually, only the head of the company can actually see this, but I somehow found access through one of the millions of loopholes the company has in its programming.

clockface: You should be careful, but I am curious as to what that means.

admina: I'm being careful-thanks for the concern and all. Anyway, what that means is that if something is deleted, even secretly, the history log I have access to will display what projects have been edited, created, or deleted and when. It even displays a reason for doing so, because you are required to say why something was modified, created, or deleted.

clockface: Are you sure it's been updated? What if they have multiple logs?

admina: I mean, there's literally a project that just updated a few seconds ago. Also, this thing has folders that access all logs without the need for a password. Of course, since this IS Antique Bandit we're talking about, I made sure to check for encryption, hidden text, and whatnot. I tried everything, and literally, nothing is hidden from the log. I should probably also mention that the log has access to a list of logs being used currently. Apparently, the information for when a game was created, deleted or modified has been added to multiple logs, but I can see all of it. I've checked every single page, and nothing was hidden.

clockface: Maybe it's their way of throwing us off. Are you sure they don't know about the "worm" in their system?

admina: They probably don't, and if they do, they don't care.

clockface: How are you so sure?

admina: Ever since Mr. Error left, we haven't had an actual head of the company do anything here. Most of it's currently automated.

clockface: Okay. One more question: is there a possibility that Robot 10.2 exists in another dimension?

admina: No. Through my research, I've been able to find for a fact that the games made by Antique Bandit Interactive, every single version of any of their projects, has remained the same. Period.

clockface: Odd. Why is that?

admina: I have no idea, and I'm not sure I want to find out. If we try messing with that, we might actually break the entire timestream.

clockface: It's that serious?

admina: Possibly. There's not enough information to even comprehend why Antique Bandit's games have remained the same through each dimension.

clockface: How do you even know about that though?

admina: You can thank the multiple versions of me from other dimensions writing in one notebook for that. Oh, and before you ask, I've gone ahead and typed and done everything in my power to make sure there's at least a dozen copies of the notebook.

clockface: Alright. Is there anything else I should know?

admina: Not really, although my husband and I have gone ahead and tried to start recording footage of that Street Safety Training program I told you about. Of course, it keeps running into errors.

clockface: What kind?

admina: Something about audio clips?

clockface: Have you checked to make sure the clips aren't encrypted?

admina: No. Why?

clockface: Because it happened to me for Robot 10.02. After decrypting the audio files for Robot 10.02 . . . well, it wasn't pretty, but it worked. I wonder why the games are so shoddy.

admina: Well, through exploring the Street Safety Training program, I've found that the people making it ran out of funding.

clockface: So close to finishing it?

admina: Yeah, and, mind you, this was during the 80s. I'm guessing that Antique Bandit wants us to think that funding was dried when the game wasn't approved, but it seems like the game was actually finished more or less.

clockface: You said it was going to be sold in stores. What makes you say that?

admina: Literally the password to get the dumb thing working is "retail". I kid you not.

clockface: Wow. They were actually expecting it to sell?

admina: Apparently.

admina: . . .

admina: Oh man, I need to get off now. Somebody has actually entered the building. Glad I've got secret access to surveillance.

clockface: I'll let our "fans" at home what's been going on. If worse comes to worse they might be able to figure out what's going on if we can't. Later.

Update

Hello again.

So, for some reason, my videos on Error and Robot should have had sound, but they didn't. I looked at the code, and apparently, the audio files themselves had been encrypted. Of course, when I decrypted them, I found absolutely nothing on them that would make it necessary for them to be encrypted at all. All they are is narrative files that help "read" what the game says. That's the only modification I made to the game. Funnily enough, my little antivirus program also has audio now, despite me never having added any before. I'll try to get a video out on Halloween since I guess you guys like that holiday or whatever. Sleep tight.

Shooting Back

So, Mr. Error thinks he can just talk about my "secret?" 

I'll show him!

He tries to act all innocent and nice, but he's got some secrets too.

You see, there are multiple versions of him running his channel. Granted, there's probably a couple versions of me running my channel, too, but not as severely.

What you need to watch out for is Mr. Error's lies. He tries to act like most of the ARGs and webseries and creepypastas came out in the 90s when more of them existed in 2015. This boom in these experiences occurred following a 2010 revision to ARGWPSL, which stated that ARGs, creepypastas, webseries, and people and content surrounding their investigations now have the same rights to protection as protected species. No, I'm not kidding.

This revision came out of a nearly 25-year court battle where Antique Bandit Interactive was caught asking to modify ARGs, webseries, and creepypastas in extreme ways. Those who complied were promised money that they never received (many were indirectly forced into bankruptcy), while those who refused were attacked.

At the head of it all was Mr. Error. Or a version of him.

For all intents and purposes, I do not believe the current Mr. Error is the same one that tried to attack those ARGs. He seems rather nice-nothing like the boss I knew.

But what of Black Hole's theory?

Well, I don't believe in it. Another version of me might have, but I sure don't. I also don't trust Black Hole, either.

I know this is all very confusing, and I'm sorry for that. It doesn't make much sense to me, either.

Finished the Antivirus

It is finally done. Of course, if everything had been mostly normal surrounding the situation, I would have just released the video and countered Mr. Error's "comments" as usual.

For some reason (and, yes, this IS the reason it took so long to upload the video), the antivirus works a little too well. It's actually become a bit of a virus itself as it's injected itself into Robot 10.02. I can't get it out. That means that every once in a while, when "playing the game," a message pops up saying how the game found a virus or something. Unfortunately, it's still a little glitchy and ended up deleting my other attempts to record. I somehow managed to sneak the video by the system checker, but I had to upload right away.

Yeah, it's already deleted.

Oh, by the way, very soon I'll link to more of Mr. Error's liked videos. For now, I need to figure out what is going on with this antivirus.

Progress

For anyone seeing this, yes, I'm alright still. My computer didn't stab me in the back while I slept or whatever.

Slight progress is being made on the antivirus. So, that means literally no progress at all. Sorry.

I'm Mad

If anybody wants to know what happened to my version of the game, Error, click here.

So, if you didn't realize already, I'm rather ######. This had to happen during the night too because the game was still on my computer yesterday, but when I woke up this morning, it was gone.

It wasn't just recycled, either. It was deleted and deleted so badly that my computer doesn't even have records of it existing. I checked too because I didn't, and still don't get, how a computer program can just disappear like that. None of the download folders exist. No more zipped folders. No memory. Nothing. It's all gone. All that I have as proof that it ever existed is videos.

The latest video appears to show how part of it got "cleaned." Interestingly, while the "cleaning software" struggled to clean a couple things, it did manage to clean something called "Conversations with Black Hole." So, clearly, either I or Black Hole are the main targets of whoever did this. I'm still confused as to how all of the game disappeared without a trace.

My best guess is that whatever deleted it either caused another recording to corrupt or it didn't bother recording, as it had gotten what it had come for.

Wait . . .

Okay, interesting . . .

As I write this, a new file named "Robot 10.02" just appeared in my downloads. I promise you I haven't downloaded anything recently.

I don't know what's going on anymore.

Tired of Mr. Error's BS

Okay, enough is enough.

Ahem . . .

I AM NOT A ####### LIAR!

If it isn't clear already, Mr. Error is quite unhinged. He keeps trying to make me look bad when I'm just an ex-employee who's trying to protect people. I'm not even all that disgruntled. I don't hate Mr. Error; I simply feel like he needs to get help.

"DA GAEM ES HANTIED BOI AEHNE EDVAFHNCHED AYYEIYEEEE!"

Like, no, it's not. If anything, Black Hole has a more solid answer.

Have you been watching their videos?

YOU BETTER BE!

I don't even know what Mr. Error is on about. The only reason I listed some of his liked videos is because I'm shocked that a person of his mental state even likes anything.

Of course, I'll patiently await Mr. Error's next video, since the game seems to know more than any of us, possibly even all of you reading this.

By the way, Black Hole has a couple theories as to what is causing all the oddities. I'm not sharing the first one since they already did in Secret 1, but I will give you this wonderful snippet I found in the game:

"Hello."

"Hello? Who is this?"

"This is Black Hole."

"Oh, it's you guys. Surprised you can even get messages into this game."

"The Black Hole knows all."

"Oh, is that so? Then answer me this: where are we, why are we here, and what is up with all the strange oddities surrounding Error?"

"It's the Black Hole."

"Odd. You said last time it was #######."

"The Black Hole knows all."

"In what way?"

"Have you heard of the Illuminati?"

"#### off."

"Relax. Black Hole is not part of the Illuminati. However, Black Hole has an eye."

"Whatever happened to there just being Heaven and Hell?"

"There still is, if you believe there is."

". . . Okay? So, what's the eye of Black Hole even used for?"

"Do you know about wormholes?"

"Yeah, and my sister is an alien, my brother is a ghost-zombie-vampire-werewolf, my mother is secretly a robot and my father ##### ## ### ##########."

"We are not joking. The wormhole did this."

"So, Black Holes are wormholes?"

"As far as we can tell."

"Uh-huh, sure. If that's true, how do we get back?"

"We don't."

"What? ARE YOU ####### KIDDING ME?"

"We must remain where we are."

"WHY?!"

"Because it takes a special kind of black hole, one that only shows up every millennium."

"Okay? So, how long have we been here?"

"It is 2019, meaning that we've been here for 19 years."

"We've been here since the year 2000?" How? Sure we'd noticed."

"Remember how everyone at Antique Bandit bunkered down?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Well, it went by super quick for you, so everyone believed they were still in the same dimension. They weren't."

"And . . . ?"

"What if I told you that the old dimension was destroyed?"

"Does this tie back into your other theory?"

"Both theories are one."

There is more where that came from, but they kept going on and on. Maybe if it proves relevant, I'll message them again.

More of Mr. Error's Liked Videos

Before any of you ask, Yes, I know Mr. Error just decided to call this "experience" (it's more like a sick, twisted joke for him) "Viewpoint." Clearly, this is his way of assuring that his Point of View and only his Point of View are seen. Fellow Watchers be wary.

Anywho, here's more videos he's liked for some reason:

https://youtu.be/OcCRZkeqFY8

https://youtu.be/HBxn56l9WcU

https://youtu.be/aQ4MVRDv_jY

https://youtu.be/Htckxql7GRA

(Again, none of the channels that posted the videos are affiliated, do not bother them please).

I'm pretty bored. How about you guys?

Self Awareness

It has come to my attention that Mr. Error made some of the old videos on his channel unlisted. I decided to do the same. Do not take this as me giving into the wishes of Mr. Error. I simply think that viewers deserve to see the full story. 

I also found a few videos of interest that were liked by Mr. Error. I don't know what they have to do with anything, but I guess they're cool experiences nonetheless.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx_Aj29OZyI

https://youtu.be/AFbu21AGSho

https://youtu.be/W86cTIoMv2U

(If it wasn't obvious, these channels have absolutely nothing to do with this . . . erm . . . experiment. Please do not ask them about anything retaining to this ARG experience. Anyone that does so will be ignored in any future potential discussions. If any of the channels that published the videos linked above decide to interact with the experience, that will be the one and only exception to this rule.)

The best I can gather is that Mr. Error likes animals. Yeah, that's it. I'm gonna do another look at the newest version of Error I found, and see if I can find anything noteworthy to upload to my channel. 

Welcome. I guess.

In a little while, I will be releasing another video. This video should prove to be the most interesting so far, but in the meanwhile, I think a couple rebuttals are in order.

Now, I will admit that I might have been lying when I said I found the game on some website. I actually am an ex-employee of Antique Bandit Interactive Studios. Yes, I said Studios. Antique Bandit Interactive has been around for decades. I'm surprised it's still in operation, but that's beside the point. 

In "The Guide," Mr. Error claims that I made a video named Error. I did not. Did I make the other videos? Yes, I did. In fact, they should be MY property right now, but Mr. Error isn't a person you want to mess with unless you A. have a good reason B. Can pursue legal discourse and C. have a large group of people to back you up in a fight if things get violent.

I must insist that I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OLD VERSION OF ERROR. However, as I will show off in the newest video, once I upload it, there are multiple versions of the . . . game? What would you even call it? 

Also, I do not believe at any point that I said the game was alive,
But it is
so stop asking me about that. 

Another thing: Gameplay 1 was released to my channel on January 23rd, 2015, Gameplay 2 came out March 23rd, 2015, Intro came out April 23rd, 2015, Gameplay 3 came out May 23rd, 2015, Gameplay 4 came out June 23rd, 2015, and Gameplay 5 came out July 23rd, 2015. 

Did I forget anything?
