Sequence of Events

Videos break down into three catagories, those uploaded by Caught, RoivasSevil, or 1AmTheHelp3r. RoivasSevil's uploads usually deal with coded messages and abstract segments of other media; whereas Caught and Help3r's uploads usually focus on Caught himself. These three types of videos can often be told apart through their unique naming formulas. The only exception to this rule so far is "21129_21269_922518224" which was uploaded to Caught's account.
