I feel very reduced.

.fm2 is a text based movie format. Open it up in a text editor and you will see how to make subtitles in movies. It only works for .fm2 and FCEUX. I have no idea who that dude on the coin is!

Ebisumaru, maybe? anyway, good run, I also enjoyed your conversation, Yes vote.

It was alright. Nothing to watch twice, but still good enough for my yes vote.

A slightly faster walking speed would have benefited this game, but as far as the actual action in the movie, I'd say there's no need for any entertainment/speed tradeoffs, as the speed it was completed is about the only entertaining action-related part of this game. I can quite agree with the idea of doing away with an obsolete emulator's movie in the process though. Yes vote for making the game entertaining, and list completion.

Nothing to see twice

That quite well sums up the situation I think

Nice run there.

Good stuff! Very obvious improvements on some of the bosses, and the overall antics were good. I don't see why you consider this such a bad game: it doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's a basic platformer with a bunch of different weapons available, which gives it a lot of variety when playing normally. I played a fair bit of the Game Boy game (which Sir VG did a run of), and that was fun. Out of curiosity, though, why all the missed shots? Some were to get your weapon charging, but there were also times when you'd miss a shot and then follow up with another uncharged shot to kill an enemy. Also, it's a shame that you couldn't kill more enemies in the train area or in Stage 7 without lagging up the game. I've got just a couple comments on the subtitles, which were overall excellent and funny. First, "bordem" should be "boredom" if you're going for correct spelling (this happens twice). Also, you guys didn't point out that the mini-game announcer changes after stages 7 and 8: he loses his sunglasses and then goes bald! That was always one of the funnier moments in the game for me. Thanks, though, for explaining the questions in the statue of liberty's game, though it felt like my subtitles were sync'ed too early for that section.

I'm pretty sure there is no "missed shots" other than those needed to charge a weapon. The "blast weapon" (that is the name I call it, I have no idea what anything is called i this game) looks like a normal shot but explodes when it hits something. Perhaps it seemed like another normal shot?

Hmm, this movie is good enough. I'll abstain again, though.

I could swear I saw a few missed shots in the ice level, for instance where you fire a shot before firing a small shot to take out the skater on the top part of the stage. If it were the charged Bomb weapon (that's what that weapon is translated to in the GB version), the explosion would have been bigger. Still, good run! I guess I'm just being picky.

You need to fire your weapon in order to transform into a bat (you need to charge up, just like with the Bomb weapon), that's why there's a missed shot there.

At first, the commentary was funny but in the end, it got annoying and distracted too much the actual play. The size of the subtitles is huge.. It sometimes covers more than half the screen. Wish we could get an .mkv without subtitles.

You are aware that those subtitles are not hardcoded but optional, right? Click through your VLC settings or press V when using mplayer.

If you are using mplayer, you can get nicer-looking subtitles (when viewing soft-subbed videos, naturally) by using the command-line option -ass (no, I'm not making that one up). This is so with most if not all soft-subbed videos. (I don't know why it isn't the default in mplayer.)

I found the subtitles to be an excellent edition. And they look great in Media Player Classic.

I'm not a huge fan of the game, but the subtitles definitely made it much more entertaining. The back-and-forth banter and jokes about DK's Shining predilections were amusing, and explanations for why certain choices were made (e.g. hiding on the ceiling during the falling-platforms stage) were a big help.

That lag counter is lookin' sexy.
