This was Second Life around 20 years ago.

I set that logo as one of the startup movies on my Steam Deck, because I am old and easily amused.

The Special Edition version of Sy Snootles.

“Jedi Rocks” rocks.

Nixie tubes were replaced by the multi-segment LED displays for numbers for many of those use cases where the numerals needed to glow. Think the last four decades of clock radios, TV channel number displays after mechanical channel knobs but before they removed the bezel stuff and put it all on the screen itself, etc.

If you know of any specific YouTube videos that use the music you are thinking of, it might be named in that chunk of the video description which automatically identifies music used in the video. Or, failing that, you can ask the video creator.

In the beginning of 12 Angry Men everything is shot from above eye-level with wide-angle lenses, giving everything the feel of more space, but as the film progresses it transitions to tighter shots with telephoto lenses from lower angles. The film gives the viewer more and more of a subconscious sense of tension and claustrophobia as the story progresses.

At least one stage adaptation of the story gave a similar effect over the course of the show by slowly tightening the lighting and having the walls of the set physically move inward, too slow for the audience to take notice but enough to subtly affect the entire atmosphere and really drive that feeling home.

Just the other day I saw a Tesla with a bumper sticker stating “I bought this before Elon went crazy.”

I’m pretty sure that’s the telephone number of a flat in Islington where I once went to a party…
