    Awesome LP, can't wait for Part 5 :)

    One thing, could you please reupload the IWBTG LP to blip.tv or something? I wanted to watch you play through it some more but the whole LP has been removed by youtube due to TOS violation... :(

    Unfortunately, YouTube has deleted my account about 15 minutes after I did to free up hard drive space for this one. If there's a way of fighting them or at least getting them to send me a copy of my videos back, well, I don't know what it is.

    Regarding your IWBTG woes, a quick trawl of Youtube's incredibly unhelpful Help section suggests that you need to submit a counter-notification. The details of how to do that can be found here.

    I have a similar sort of profanity tourette syndrome whenever I die in a particularly troublesome video game, so these Let's Plays are something I can relate to.

    "Diarrhea drinker" was incredible.

    EDIT: As were "dump taker" and "taint hair". Twelve thumbs up.

    It's basically a giant piece of crap, because I am not a video editor, but I still think it's pretty funny. I apologize that the video gets bigger and choppier towards the end, the part 4 AVI wasn't working for me and I had to convert the FLV to an MP4 file. Stupid file formats!

    I'll add more to this after part 5 comes out. Enjoy!

    ohthecommotion, thanks for that! Very reminiscent of my IWBTG LP. I was planning on doing something similar, and might still do that, but I won't reveal yet what my diabolical scheme is!

    As soon as I have 10 minutes to myself I will get Part 5 recorded.

    !Entry

    Professor Vitellary hobbled awkwardly out of his homely research room, his eyes blocky after a long session of reading and theorizing. The day had been long and he longed for the embrace of another, along with rest and leisure fun.

    As his yellow visage entered his own quarters, he was unsurprised to see a figure already there. Wearing goggles and a hard hat, the man stood there looking at blue-prints while drinking coffee.

    "Eve'n Doc. Rough day?" the man said with a smile as he handed Vitellary a cup of coffee.

    "One could say that," Vitellary's staggered and computer sounding voice answered. "But please, Engineer, call me Professor, or at least Vite."

    "And I keep tellin' ya, Engineer is just mah title. Call me Dell." Dell lifted up his goggles and took off his hard hat and gestured for Vitellary to sit down.

    "Yes, I see then," Vite's unchormatic voice awkwardly worded, "Well then Dell, I thought that since tonight was Friday, we could have a bit of fun."

    "Well, the invite is quite nice of y'all, but Imma still wrap'd up in this here invention. Needs to be done right soon."

    "I see. But first, I'd ask you to take care of this before you begin again." As Vite spoke, a large blocky object protruded about two screen pixels wide.

    "Vite, can I ask ya to keep that in your pants for now?"

    "But Dell, with my sprite limitations, I have no pants." Vite's large hole-eyes stared openly at Dell.

    Dell only sighed. "Well partner, ya got me there."




    Oh god I can't write anymore of this. I need to go drink about eight quarts of brain bleach.

    LOOK WHAT THIS HAS DONE JOSHOFALLTRADES.

    Haha, look what this has done indeed. You have partaken in only a small amount of the torment that has accumulated over my Let's Play career. Consider thyself lucky I did not increase it tenfold!

    In the place that is not quite as lauded as first, but more so than third, Craigopogo!

    The Captain paused as the words flew by overhead. Truth, Truth, Truth, Truth. Each word a solid, invincible shape. This seemed philosophically correct to the Captain, and the decision was an easy one to make. He reversed the polarity and positioned himself just so. When the flying word slammed into him it tore through his body with lethal ecstasy. In one end and out the other, a spear of pure teleology. The violent joy of it was too much, everything went black. The Captain awoke a few seconds later at the strange C. Having been thusly violated by the truth he felt like a new man. He moved into position again and waited for Truth to fill him again. The captain had finally found beauty in this bizarre dimension.

    He should be congratulated for his creativity! How many of you honestly thought of death porn involving a small pixellated man and a 5-letter word? None! Second place! Moving on!

    Finally, the bronze medal goes to Bethryn for this short, sweet and sensual entry!

    !entry Violet emoted slightly as the Captain's squares pushed into hers. But as the animation continued and the text square began to form, the alarms sounded; the ship was about to crash. As the rectangles around them shifted in polarity and colour, she felt scared and empty; indeed, looking to the Captain's face for comfort, she found he had been teleported away. Coitus interruptus at its finest.








    My fingers are bloody stumps now.

    Remember the part about the bloody stumps? That was great!

    JamWarrior, I wanted to rate yours higher but not only was it incomplete, you didn't put up a !Entry flag! My threads are difficult and unforgiving, and your consolation prize as an honorable mention is small: a repost of your unfinished play.
    I make my entry in the form of a screenplay.
    The scene is a spaceship corridor. Pixelly lights and gadgets abound. Chief Verdigris is working at an access hatch.

    Chief Verdigris: #Whistling#

    Enter Captain Viridian stage left, crossing the stage he walks past Chief Verdigris at work.

    Chief Verdigris (aside): Damn that's a fine ass.

    Captain Viridian: Hmm? You say something Chief?

    Chief Verdigris (looking awkward): Er, nothing chief.

    Captain Viridian: Oh. OK then.

    Exit Captain Viridian stage right.

    Fade to black.


    Chief Verdigris: #Quiet sobbing#

    Just a quick suggestion for the future, Jam: Sex sells!

    All right, all facetiousness aside, here are the current thread rankings:

    blaze_zero: 3
    craigopopo: 2
    Bethryn: 1
    Jam Warrior: 1/2

    You've got to play to win!

    Hopefully I'll get this recorded and up later tonight.

    Wow. I heard of VVVVVV but it never caught my interest much. The game looks amazing! That soundtrack!

    A great LP.

    With that music and the added text-to-speech it looks and sounds like a never ending LSD trip, to be honest.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    T-t-t-triple post! The .avi is being exported now. I'll check it for abnormalities and then upload it to blip. This set will conclude the story of VVVVVV.

    EDIT: Bad news. I decided not to sacrifice quality this time and it looks like it's going to be a few hours before it's exported, and probably a few more before it's uploaded and converted in blip. Didn't mean to get both of you guys' hopes up!

    It's looking like over 4 gigs. Seriously. I started it uploading before I left for work, but it didn't look like it was going to make much progress, if any. If it's still not uploaded when I get home, I'll find some free compression program and see if I can shrink it some. It's about 20 minutes long, even after editing out a lot of the boring shit.

    Also, I let the hate flow through me at the end of this one.

    Also also, it's a good thing I took notes on which voice I used on which character.

    Part 5 is a real thing, and it will be happening soon.

    I finally got home to find that the uploading hasn't even started, so I quickly compressed it and now it is less than 300 MB. Quality seems good, too. It'll be uploaded in probably just over an hour.

    Just letting you guys know!
