The second is from blameitonjorge, with a fairly comprehensive video recapping one of our most famous searches, A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants. Be sure to watch both of them above!
Next, the new finds:
- First off, a special shoutout to “Media Finder” on YouTube (known as Shaggy in the Discord) – since the last notice board, he’s found one episode of the English dub of The New Adventures of Zorro (“The Samurai and the Sorcerer”), one episode of the Fox Kids dub of The Vision of Escaflowne (“The Diabolical Adonis”), and SEVEN episodes of the Fox Kids edit of Cybersix (“Mysterious Shadow”, “Blue Birds Of Horror”, “The Greatest Show In Meridiana”, “Terra”, “Lori Is Missing”, “Gone With The Wings”, and “The Eye”). Thank you so much for your invaluable work this past month!

Teamo!”, and the SpongeBob short “Nickelodeon Blimp” that was shown during the 2005 Kids’ Choice Awards. Thank you for ripping so many tapes and sharing your rarities with us!
- M3D volume one has been found by YouTube user Cat Arthur, after they found it at a thrift store and later discovered it was lost. Thank you for uploading it!
- A number of old Minecraft builds have been found – too many and all too convolutedly named to conveniently list here, but all of the available PC edition builds can be found here, and the Pocket Edition builds can be found here. Thanks to ArcticFromClosed for handling all of this!
- And finally, more footage of Earthbound 64 has surfaced, taken from SpaceWorld 1996. The build itself is still completely lost, but it’s always nice to find anything that gives us a glimpse of it.
That’s it! Hope everyone has been having a good pride month, enjoying the weather if you’re in a place where that applies, and I’ll see you next time! Also we definitely didn’t forget to update the featured articles for 4 months, we just featured 20 articles because we wanted to
