Holy fuck this is longer than what I expected, sorry about that /x/ but this isn't a copypasta or some fucking stupid shit. I just want to know about your guys' opinion on this channel.
Hey /x/, I don't play very many video games these days. Last I played some video games seriously was about 20 or so years ago. With that being said, with the new release of Doom Eternal not that long ago, it made me interested in the older games I used to play and I've been watching videos on Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Descent, DOS-era games, et cetera you name it. As you can guess, I've been on a hardcore nostalgia trip for those games. However, today I just now have found this bizarre-as-fuck YouTube channel, Ruhansel.
Ruhansel is a new YouTube channel that was just created today, so I'm clueless on how his(?) videos showed up on my recommended feed. Usually YouTube recommendations don't display brand spanking new videos let alone from channels literally created that same day, but enough about my bewilderment of YouTube. YouTube has been fucking broken for years anyway.
Ruhansel has a total of two videos as of the time I type this out. On his videos page he's uploaded the only two videos I've seen on his channel, it says that those two videos have just been uploaded hours apart. In the video descriptions he signed the very end with the name Rudolf after asking for help, which is undoubtedly his first name and clues me in to who he is. In the description of the very first video, simply titled "Video 1", it looks like he's been fucking around with Doom using some launch parameters, that being "-nomonsters", "-nomusic", and "-skill 4". He wrote that he saw something strange using those exact same launch parameters in the video, hence the existence of his channel and the videos he's posting. It looks like whatever he says he saw unsettled him enough to the point where he's now recording and posting videos on his channel for all to see. In the second video's description, aptly named "Video 2", he mentioned that he was on edge to the point where he felt like he needed to pause and step outside of his room. Then, he again ended with asking for help and signing his name at the end of the description.
I watched the videos, in sequential order, the first being Video 1 because that was the video that was recommended to me. Both of the videos feature Rudolf/Ruhansel wandering around levels from Doom's first episode Knee-Deep in the Dead in complete silence save for some sound effects. There were no monsters or music in the levels because Rudolf was running the game with the launch parameters mentioned earlier. Rudolf either doesn't have a mic or didn't speak at all because there was no commentary in either of the videos. I won't lie that it creeped me out too, because most of the videos just contained silence.
In the second video, I noticed that his view started to be shaky and a little twitchy, as Rudolf mentioned and apologized for in the description. Something about Doom level 2 really just made him uncomfortable and I've rewatched all of the videos a few times but alas I've come up with nothing.
The link to his YouTube channel is here, although searching Ruhansel on YouTube seems to pull him up rather consistently for me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLBtiDtVcejY5gGogSVnwSA
Did he have seizures? Was he just having a mental episode? Easter egg that I'm missing out on or some dumb inside joke? I'm fucking confused and creeped regardless of whatever the hell is going on there. I need answers about this guy and these videos, and this guy, if he isn't just crazy, might need our help too.
