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:

Thank you so much for your invaluable work this past month!

• 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
