History Trivia / CaptainSouthbird

* OldShame: In the "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video, Southbird states that Creator/MaxLandis disowned the script used for the videos' text (''Fanfic/SuperMarioWorldMaxLandis''), but Southbird still used it because he found it amusing. In the PDF copy hosted on Landis's website, the text "This script sucks" appears more than once in large text.

* NamesTheSame: Toby, a cat villager who looks identical to Bob, shares his name with an official ''Animal Crossing'' character, Though the villager is a green and yellow rabbit rather than a purple cat.

* NamesTheSame: Toby, a cat villager who looks identical to Bob, shares his name with an official ''Animal Crossing'' character, with said villager being a green and yellow rabbit and not a purple cat.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Southbird says in the "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video that he considered revisiting the use of random, unfiltered [=YouTube=] comments seen in "Animal Crashing", but thought it ended up not being funny, a sentiment he ended up holding for "Animal Crashing" itself. Later videos featuring [=YouTube=] comments are edited to make the text more coherent.
** Southbird says in the "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video that he considered releasing another video using the intentional TranslationTrainWreck seen in "Bella Aqueous", but considered it redundant with "Bella Aqueous" because characters kept repeating the same mistranslated lines. While the obfuscated script is still in place in "Birthday Intervention", that episode primarily focuses on [=YouTube=] comments while using the obfuscated script as a fallback for lines that aren't from comments, and later episodes drop the TranslationTrainWreck aspect completely and use the games' official scripts for lines that don't use custom text.
** Southbird says in the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 compilation's commentary that there were plans to stream "Birthday Intervention" live, as with the first two episodes. It ended up being recorded offline, despite Southbird still referring to it as a stream in the video. Southbird recorded it and every episode after it offline for the sake of editing out unwanted footage, from filler to content that's inappropriate even by the standards of the series.
** Southbird says in the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 compilation's commentary that unused footage features Scoot sharing other villagers' tendency to say lewd things, but Southbird had qualms about using this footage, as he felt that it contradicts Scoot's more innocent DumbJock characterization from WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}, particularly ''WebVideo/MayorVine''. After having second thoughts about Scoot's inclusion, Southbird thinks it's for the better when he moves out offscreen.
** Southbird originally had no plans to install ''New Leaf''[='=]s ''Welcome amiibo'' update for the ''[=KaosTown=]'' season, as he was afraid that it would cause serious problems for his setup. He reconsidered during the mid-season hiatus, and ''Welcome amiibo'' acts as the basis for the season's second half, which features modifications to the update's new features, such as the campground.
** Southbird says during the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 compilation's commentary that he considered having Harvey make repeated appearances with a random personality per episode, with the joke being that Bird doesn't notice that there's anything different. However, Southbird couldn't think of a way to do this that he thought would work well, so Harvey only appears as an "eyeless demon" retelling Creator/HPLovecraft stories.
** Southbird says during the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 commentary that he considered gradually making Bird resemble his avatar in the original run via adding to his outfit, but stopped at the beak and suit of armor. This plan isn't executed until about halfway through the ''Wolfburg'' season, which is based on ''City Folk'' instead of ''New Leaf'', and Bird's modified appearance isn't seen in ''New Leaf'' until ''Birdston''.
* WordOfSaintPaul: In the commentary for the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 compilation, "Birthday Intervention" continuing the use of the "[[TranslationTrainWreck telephone translation]]" script first seen in "Bella Aqueous" in addition to [=YouTube=] comments, rather than just the latter (which is the most frequently used of the two in "Birthday Intervention"), is brought up, and it's pointed out that Scoot speaks broken English more often than other characters. Teckworks provides the tongue-in-cheek explanation that Scoot is "speaking duck" when his text is in broken English.

* OldShame: In the "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video, Southbird states that Creator/MaxLandis disowned the script used for the videos' text (''Fanfic/MaxLandisSuperMarioWorld''), but used it because he found it amusing. In the PDF copy hosted on Landis's website, the text "This script sucks" appears more than once in large text.

* BonusEpisode: Southbird's "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video, released in 2018, focuses on the Tomodachi Munger tool he uses to edit game text. The tool was originally intended for randomizing text in ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' and later used to insert custom text, both in ''Tomodachi Life'' and other games, such as ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing: New Leaf''. In the same video, he says ''Birdette's Satchel Creatures'' (based on ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Pokémon Moon]]'') is his favorite of the non-''Animal Crossing''-related videos he did and would like to revisit hacking text in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games; this resulted further seasons of the ''Birdette's Satchel Creatures'' series, based on later games in the ''Pokémon'' series.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Southbird planned to upload another ''WebVideo/VinesauceTomodachiLife'' derivative using the Tomodachi Munger tool to insert [=YouTube=] comments (akin to the "Metadachi Life" video), but abandoned the idea after thinking he'd done enough with that concept and thinking the result wasn't funny enough. He mentions this in the "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video, and shows some footage that was recorded for the scrapped video.

* NamesTheSame: Toby, a cat villager who looks identical to Bob, shares his name with an official ''Animal Crossing'' character, with said villager being a blue and yellow rabbit and not a purple cat.

* OldShame: Southbird isn't fond of how "Animal Crashing" turned out after seeing the results of later ''Beast Intersection'' videos' hacking work. He and Teckworks both call it "garbage" in the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 commentary and Southbird's playlist recommends that new viewers start with "Bella Aqueous" or "Birthday Intervention" instead. In the "Southbird Tech: My Text Obfuscator Tool" video, he further refers to the "Animal Crashing" video as containing "[=YouTube=] comment puke" and calls it mostly nonsense, despite it having a few moments he liked.
-->'''Southbird:''' "It was purely random, there was no order to it, no filtering, nothing. Just... [=YouTube=] comment puke, everywhere."
