    Spoiler: RobTop doesn’t count, and Darnoc is NOT the first player 🥸

    storm's original user id was 17, id 19 was "banaan" with one now deleted level (id 131), i don't have any record of user id 18 though
  • @SeptaGon7
    real storm was one of the ppl affected by teamhax iirc, which means a new account was created afterwards to move their levels back to a separate account and thats why their account id and user id are so high. according to cvolton their original user id is 17, which rules out one of the things mentioned in this video. it is likely that TouchGameplay was one of the people on the beta GD servers before the game's release, as their video was uploaded before the game was publicly released, so their user id wouldn't be stored anywhere on the main servers. Also good video, I can tell a lot of effort was put into this.
  • @vezzie
    Someone did a quad spike jump accidentally a day before the game was even publicly released??
  • @Audieo
    YES! Im glad the touch arcade forums were brought up, since those are a really cool piece of GD history that you dont hear talked about anymore. Great video
  • @Muser0168
    This seems like a really cool puzzle that I will definitely ponder for 30 minutes and never attempt

    4:35 That menu at the end of the oldest GD Video is actually Apple’s old Game Center UI. Game Center is still around (mainly for achievements and such) but back then it was mainly used to connect to play with your Apple ID Friends on apps that supports it.

    Sooo intersting ! I loved it ! Its really cool how you search up the information and how you find them to speculate !
  • At 4:34 I found that really interesting how different that Gui was for the achievements menu. Never knew that and extremely underrated! Also did you notice how there was a button on it that said "Challenges"? Wonder what that was. Cool video my man <3
