I think this would make a good screenshot

No.

Or why not a gif? (Provided as a link rather than a direct image for those who would prefer not to see because of personal reasons, not watched the movie yet or otherwise) http://www.14lines.com/macros/AlteredBeast.gif

Call me immature, but I liked this movie. It actually made me laugh out loud, and I can't recall when another TAS has made me do that. Good work, FODA. BTW, I think this should obsolete my 1 player movie, because that movie sucks.

If you press B and START at the title screen you can select HARDEST difficulty instead of normal. Otherwise was it a great run. Great job Foda. :)

damn I swear I tried to do that, searched the web, but since I didn't find anything I assumed it was my memory failing again. oh well :)

Liked the run alot. Played it as a kid thousands of times. Always loved the bears but you puted a big smile on my mouth(and a laugh). :) voting yes

It is this intention that made me vote "no", and the consequent discussion that made me react. I don't wish it to become a fad that soon all movies have similar scenes and everyone is praising them. Because that reception is immature in my opinion.

Is it really your intention to force your own perceptions of maturity and morality on the entire userbase of TAS Videos? I could see this meriting a maturity warning on the publication page, but if you were to deny publication of a ~30 second improvement (to a ~6 minute movie) simply because you disagreed with the player's entertainment style, I believe it would undermine the site's integrity.

Personally, I liked the run. I suppose I will also respect that some people feel it is unsuitable. I will vote yes with my vote though :)

Woo, "WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE!!" done fast! Arcade game from my childhood + Improvement + short movie + a healthy (?) dose of immature humor = YES vote.

This movie is kind of boring, like it's predecessor. I'm voting meh. I agree with Upthorn's post very strongly. When I was young, I was playing River City Ransom and my Dad asked me what the game was about. I told him that you beat up other people until they die so you can take their money. A run of this game on TASVideos is recommended for first time viewers. A large percentage of video games involve rewards for killing things. Why isn't anyone talking about morals there? Killing is pretty bad. I would say that on average, killing people leads to a lot more death than gayness. Some facts: 1) Most people do have sex. 2) So do most bears! 3) Some people are gay. Even if you wish they weren't! 4) I have no relevant data on the gayness of bears. I could go on and on, about TASVideos's love for swastikas and Canadians, but I've made my point and then some. To summarize: Mega Man shoots with guns. Guns cause evil things like Columbine and Bill O'Reilly. Say no to tool-assisted violence.

Bill O'Reilly makes me a Saaaaaaad Paaanda

Voting yes....its an improvement on the previous submission of a game that was extremely cool to me as a young lad and it had a sense of humor to it. IMO i think people are taking that part of the movie way too seriously. I mean its not like there's explicit evidence of penetration or anything of that nature therefore it is not indecent unless you want it to be. Good Job FODA. edit: By saying indecent I am referring to sexual acts in general, not the specific acts being sited in this run. I just wanted to clarify this before someone gets the wrong idea.

4) I have no relevant data on the gayness of bears.

I don't specifically know about bears, but there was a news story a while ago that said that homosexuality had been found among almost all animals, even the worms that live in human intestines. I find that pretty interesting.

Hello, It's not neccessary instead of dealing with the thrustworthy criterias to judge the quality of FODAs serious attempt to deliver us, the community, with a rather interesting interpretation of sexual preferences (anus fixation and other things) of mutated weirdos in a sick 2d pixelworld (questionable setting and some historia for free), and nice hand-to-hand-combatscenes, to oddly stretch the disussion to the impact which his gesamtkunstwerk might have to the sexualisation of kids and therefore it's common danger. (true "story", eyewitnessed in my local zoo): Little girl together with it's granma. They are watching a couple of chimps in a cage. Suddenly (for the scientists maybe interesting: ad hoc/without any foreplay) the chimps decided to have some fun (in public though). The girl's question "what they're doing?" was adequatly met by granmas reposte "just sitting!". No further questions. But I have to admit, that there was of course no possible friction/confusion with some gayness. I presume that that's the point here (friction through some gayness). kids Besides, the internet itself should considered to be not a suitable world for a KID at all, it is per se a place for elder ones ( kids have to play outside, football or something; they should read books, develop/improve their social and other skills and not seeing some punks amusingly beaten up by a wrestler named max [my favourite btw.], not until a certain age. But i think that when they finally have reached the appropriate ages for being prepared to see punks amusingly beaten up by a wrestler named max, they can stand also FODAs fine work. Even it's SHAMEFUL gayness! (Yes vote) You will never catch me with my trowsers down!

Maybe a censored version should be encoded:

Baxter that picture is even more obvious what they are doing. Anyway, there are thousands of other potential screenshots with no sexual content.

*giggles* Well I certainly don't don't take offense to being called immature...also, this run is sexy. XD

I wouldn't vote Meh on a good improvement like this one. By the way, I don't think that "sex" thing is really a problem.

Yea, I know it was immature, but I couldn't help but chuckle at the bears. As for Phil's arguments, your homophobia shouldn't have anything to do with your opinion on the improvement. It's like mixing church and state. It's a big enough problem in real life, don't make it one on TASVideos. But I do see Bisqwit's argument. To me, TASVideos is one of the few sites that's entertaining without having to resort to constant sex references. And it has always maintained an image of 'innocence', if that's what you want to call it. I appreciate that, and I understand that if the sex thing wasn't emphasized, it wouldn't be as big a deal. But how can this be reversed? It can't now. Anyways, I think it should be accepted because: 1) It's an improvement. 2) It made quick work of a boring game. Upon it's acceptance, in the description and the picture, no straightforward mention of sex or screenshots of the 'incident' should be posted. There should just be a warning for offensive sexual content or something. Nothing like, "THERE'S GAY SEX IN THIS MOVIE!" And one more thing, I don't think 'children' visit the site. I'd say most under the age of 15-16 wouldn't even have the patience to figure out how to even run these videos (though they could just go to Youtube for the most part.) While not completely applicable, if you got the ages of all the board members and averaged them, I'd say you wouldn't be too far off on the average age of the frequent TASVideo visitor.

Voted yes. Like others have said, Phil's line of arguing is just plain stupid and makes me angry. I see Bisqwit's line of reasoning though, even though I suspect a lot of it stems from Phil's opinions. Could be wrong etc Anyway, not a lot I or others can do to change the moral views of this site administrator. Good thing the run is on youtube at least, I think. Edit: I should probably clarify I'm not calling you a homophobe idiot, Bisqwit. I didn't mean it like that, I hope you didn't take this too harshly, I don't even know you so what do I know.

homophobia lol I was talking about sex. Read the first post stupid people... Anyway, some people may be heterophobia here...

The movie entertained me. It made an otherwise boring game interesting to watch — though it being around six minutes long definitely helped — and the bosses got destroyed in record time. For that reason, I voted yes.

Anyway, some people may be heterophobia here...

At least we're doing something about overpopulation.

I think <...>

shallow, I agree completely (well, at least 90%) with your suggestion.

And one more thing, I don't think 'children' visit the site. I'd say most under the age of 15-16 wouldn't even have the patience to figure out how to even run these videos (though they could just go to Youtube for the most part.) While not completely applicable, if you got the ages of all the board members and averaged them, I'd say you wouldn't be too far off on the average age of the frequent TASVideo visitor.

According to the Average age thread, there have been several 14-year olds who have even registered on these forums and became actives. That means that the likelihood of there being younger-than-thats is significantly nonzero. The average is above 20 though, yes.

Edit: I should probably clarify I'm not calling you a homophobe idiot, Bisqwit

I should probably clarify, that whatever my stance is about homosexuality, it has no relevance to this discussion. I am not arguing basing on that view. And I'm not a sextalk'o'phobe either. To paraphrase what I said on the IRC channel: There's nothing wrong in loving sex. I just want it to be kept in a proportion. When it's a giggling topic, LOOK THOSE ANIMALS ARE FUCKING EACH OTHERS LOLOLOL, it is out of proportion and annoying (and immature).
