It's time to choose...

[KoOkiEzRoCkz]

im not goin to reply to ur.. 'game' thing harshly.. ill only say this, if we could educate n show u everything we know on our religion 'YOU' will join 'US', unfortunately thatll take longer than u are patient for...

[Widgetas]

@KoOkiEzRoCkz Colour me surprised. Feel free to be harsh if you want, I'm thicker skinned than you might like to think and really don't care if you're rude to me. What's funny, though, is that I have no idea what religion you're advocating - You've said nothing that can pinpoint which particular book you like best.

But if you want to educate me, will you do me a favour and at least *try* to stick to proper English and grammar? Cheers, it makes things that little bit easier.

[Baeloth]

Watching this I can't help but want to cough and hark like never before.

[LustinForBlood]

Curious question: How did you adjust it so that your voice came out like that? Like what did you do in the editing process? Great video and a response would be aweso,e, if not, thank you anyway :-).

[Widgetas]

@LustinForBlood Fanks, glad you like.

If I recall correctly... It was one take in Audacity (note the small thud/click at the start after "Fundamentalists" which was me moving the mic), with the mic facing away from me and a sock over it. I looked up online how to do the voice and it turns out all you need to do is slow the track down slightly. I'm 'OK' at some vocal impersonations so it was that combined with a crappy US accent and lowering my voice too.

You after doing a Jigsaw impression?

[LustinForBlood]

@Widgetas Sounds simple enough. Thank you for your response. And not exactly, I've just wonderd how people have pulled it off because it always sounds so close as to the Jigsaw from the actual Saw movies. So, I thought I'd ask how you pulled it off :-). It gives me some ideas to do in Audacity now, haha.

[Silkspine]

I first saw this vid as a mirror from MilitantPeaceist but I thought I'd come to pay my respects. A while back, I had a running joke where I invented customized "Hello, I wanna play a game" speeches for all my friends. Unlike my attempts though, this was actually pretty good :)

[Widgetas]

@Silkspine Fank you muchly. I'm thinking about making up a new version, as I made this one with WMM. I've got better software now, plus more patience - I wanted to get the first one out of my brain.

Yay for being pimped, I say.

[DeeDemonwitch]

@Silkspine yep, that's how I ended up here too.

[zeppers101]

.......

[Widgetas]

@zeppers101 Problem?

[LFZ15]

the teehee got me

[MrUnscientific]

This could do with being reuploaded or mirrored.

[Widgetas]

@MrUnscientific - Whhhhhy?

[MrUnscientific]

@Widgetas

...because it's 'kin brilliant. Perhaps a much larger channel could borrow it. There are more than 1,555 on here and more coming everyday. It places the powerful idea into an easily understandable and reconisable digestable form.

This is more than 'just another video'. I'm only saying this 'cos I'm always looking for sh*t like this :-P You made it you might not see it...dunno. Indirect and powerfully direct at the same time....I haven't the words.

[Widgetas]

@MrUnscientific - Hmm well it's interesting the reactions I get to it. A lot of people think I'm talking to them specifically, missing the 2nd word in the spiel: "Fundamentalists."

Actually I need to write out a transcript.

I'm a little worried about it going too big. Music is... nicked :D

[SNIDERDC]

You guys need to check out Noetic Science. You'll find choosing one religion or lack there of is incredibly limiting. The original purpose of religion has been twisted and lost because of the human nature it tried to manipulate, lol. Religion isn't prehistoric at all those prehistoric texts contain direct references to super string theory w/ diagrams and everything. I'm not saying religion is a good thing. Personally I hate religion because it limits people because they cannot see beyond words.

[Widgetas]

@SNIDERDC - Ciiiiiiitation if you please.

[LordWhorfinX2]

What a ridiculous shitty video.... so much for creativity and thought, I suppose...

[Widgetas]

@LordWhorfinX2 - Thanks for your input. It means so so much to me...

I made a video to you several months ago. You going to answer or continue being a wuss?

Here it is: watch?v=_-Lx1aCJOdY

I wonder if you heard the 2nd word of the video, by the way?

"fundamentalists".

Did you think I was talking to you? Are you a fundie?

[LordWhorfinX2]

@Widgetas I don't give a shit who you're addressing....lol.... someone said a search on my screen name listed this video..... I was just checking and while doing that noticed the sheer lack of any creativity...

[Widgetas]

@LordWhorfinX2 - Please... no please don't be so unkind... :(

I'm dying inside every time you criticise me.

Sob sob sob etc.

Heh.

[sjuas690]

So what diabolical choice would JigSaw (or is that Monkey) present to evangelical christians?

[martialme84]

Very, very powerful video.

I understood it well enough btw, but a transcript sure would do no harm...

[Widgetas]

@martialme84 - Hmm can do. Perhaps I should have put that up from the start :D

Some people have complained before.

Glad you liked it.

[KiaOra53]

You're right - EDUCATION is the key

[del3226]

this is pretty good. MAS!

[martialme84]

Great, just great!

...and so true...

[richardmoz]

amazing, good point. Too bad i can't go to a church and show this what would they say.

[Widgetas]

They'd assume it was all about them!

Depending on where you are, I doubt there are that many "fundamentalists" amongst their numbers.

[Requiemofmischief]

awesome vid although i wouldn't "play" with the future of society and yes i know it might be a figure of speech but from the many fundamentalists here on youtube that i have encountered i can say that you can't use figures of speech around them

[Widgetas]

I don't think that many have seen it - I've not had any PMs etc.

[eltzar72]

Great vid, mate.

[Widgetas]

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers

[TheAtheistWolf]

the ending made me laugh so hard!

"... tee hee"

[Widgetas]

There's always a "tee hee", but for this one I thought I should change it a bit :D

[TheAtheistWolf]

oh, first of your videos I've watched, so I guess that would be why.

[Widgetas]

I forgive ya

[TheAtheistWolf]

BTW, sub'd :D

[PhysicsGuerrilla]

BRAVO!

[LeesburgFLAtheist]

I like the voice you used, and the pictures shown and the points brought up. 5 stars and favorited.

[Kubota71]

Great video !!!!!!!!!!!!! lol..................

[draagon66]

Simply Stunning

[richardmoz]

just amazing thank you

[Widgetas]

Welcome :)

[Widgetas]

Sorreh, maybe I should put a transcript up...

[enhanceUK]

NICE!

[Widgetas]

Ta.

[MilitantPeaceist]

I am so in <3 with this production!

[selinkyble]

Absolutely brilliant. Even made me cry. Love it so much I posted a link to it on my facebook. Thanks for summing that up so well!!

[Widgetas]

Dude! Why cry?! I thought it was a bit scary :S

[selinkyble]

Cos it just sums up everything that's wrong with the world - all the hatred for nothing important.. If we could only fix that ...... but untimately we know its never gonna happen cos its human nature. Maybe evolution will breed it out lol

[Doorstopper5867]

This has to be the most amazing thing... anywhere. You take a widely known franchize and spin it to get your message across but the words you say are simply incredible... gets me pumped! But seriously, you've got a good message here.

[Widgetas]

Well that's very kind of you to say.

I really had a lot more to put in there, but the first version of the audio, when it had been slowed down, was about 7mins long. I didn't think people would have the patience to sit through it.

I had to chop a lot out :( but never mind!

[PurplenovaX]

6 of 1 and half dozen of the other.

Time is negated when compelled to watch! eg LotR's

[MilitantPeaceist]

Great Vid 5* Fav!

[AtheistArchives]

I cant stop coming back to this video.

It's like a shotgun!

I have never been SO compelled to live in the here and now and forward in truth than the backing away from lies!

I cannot be anything other than atheist yet still this video helps me focus forward!

Perfect for all humans!

[Widgetas]

I can't work out if you're being serious or not...

[PurplenovaX]

100% serious

may I mirror your video on the AtheistArchive site for safe keeping?

I'll direct and link it to you, I will not hijack your production or authorship.

[Widgetas]

Yeah, I should have checked the channel before ;)

Feel free to do as you wish.

And I have the honours!

[PurplenovaX]

Right Back At Ya!

[NotTooObvious]

5 stars

[bloodangel13]

That was a AMAZING vid mate.

EPIC WIN and INTERNETZ for you =D.

PS: next time use a text to speech software to make the voice even terrifying, I recommend Cepstral for the job.

[Widgetas]

Orly? I quite liked doing the voice myself, but if it makes things funkier in the future then I'll look into it. Cheeeers.

[cgrbutterflyfish]

That right there was freaking brilliant!

[Widgetas]

I know! (heh)

[ThoughtfulAtheist]

damn widgey...nice vid!

[Widgetas]

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers

[Requiem4aGod]

Great video man! It's good to see some users are still posting quality.

[Widgetas]

Yeah and I've started posting too :p

[Knr911]

Not a fundie fucktard here, sorry.

Briliant ! Nice job.

[CanadienAtheist]

Wow!

Wow, I mean...

Wow!

I am subbed!

[Widgetas]

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeers

[askegg]

Oh wow! I loved it. Great work :)

[Widgetas]

Thankee muchly !

[Vogter2100]

EPIC!

[Widgetas]

(can I get a FundieFucktard! ?)

[Vogter2100]

FF award? Hmm.. I might have to invent one.

[Widgetas]

Nah, it's what the kids say "Can I get a [whatever]" and people shout back "Whatever!"

Innit?

[Vogter2100]

hehehe

[Mephistophilus]

8o)

[johncrwarner]

I liked the video - my inner nerd however is raised by the suggestion that fundamentalism has been around for 2000 years - as a theological position it is about 100 years old and is a "modern" - in that it is an offspring of the evangelical movement and that is only possible in light of the early modern period. Theology at 5 in the morning LOL

[Widgetas]

Being the illiterate atheist heathen I am, I applied the term (apparently in a largely erroneous fashion) to those people who stuck to the literal word of their books: Those who claim to have all the answers.

Je ne regret rien! *runs*

[johncrwarner]

Don't worry there are all sorts of people who claim to have all the answers but most of them weren't called fundamentalists - they also are inerrantists rather than literalists as a literal reading will lead in a completely different direction - usually atheism.

Non, je ne regrette rien.

[severnzared]

This is wonderful, truly wonderful. Beautiful speech and inherent power. Lynpgz is right, five stars is not enough.

[Lynpgz]

Five stars is not enough.

[MrSarcasm2]

This is a masterpiece. xD

[Widgetas]

I'd prefer to say this was a triumph. I'm making a note here...

[Godlesshayes]

Good shit Widg, good shit indeed.

[mfaulkner12]

Fancy! I gotta say twas quite good.

[dualranger]

Terrific video WIDG. I love it!!

[TheMudbrooker]

Your American accent wasn't too bad, apart from the way you pronounced controversy

[Widgetas]

Not wrong. I did the whole thing a few times, but it sounded crappy each go.

[Keippernicus]

I liked how it culminated with the music/volume/raspiness.

Sounded like you were talking over a blender full of marbles.

[Widgetas]

Shameless steal/copy from the Saw films, though I did have to do some sneaky fiddles here and there to get it in time. Yeah me voice got a bit cranky - it was all one take.

[AncientAtheist]

Fuck. That's a scary voice, W. I choose whatever *you* do!

[Widgetas]

No, no, after you. I insist.

[lolx0rz]

kudos to you widgetas 5 stars

P.S I GOT MONKEYS IN MEH!!1!

[Widgetas]

Monkeys in your what?

[lolx0rz]

no just monkeys in me no perticular region

[fizzybgood]

Sweet! I trust that no monkey was harmed during the filming of this video... ;)

[Widgetas]

The one who's threatening everyone, you mean?

[cheeekamoomoo]

Superb, absolutely.

[Widgetas]

You mean you've actually seen those films?!

[cheeekamoomoo]

Your mom was in them, correct?? :o

[Widgetas]

Well Cinders, simply visit and click 5*s 20 times :D

[prodigyat9]

Awesome!  Faved! 5 stars!

[Widgetas]

Cheers Mr P9.

[nelliediddle]

Widdgie.... what have you done to the monkey now?????

ACTUALLY THIS IS EXCELLENT!

... damn now I've had to compliment you! ;)

you know I less than three you

[Widgetas]

"you know I less than three you" - Are you the person who gave me less than 5 stars? *hiss*

[nelliediddle]

<3

no it's not an erection viewed from the floor... it's a heart

[AuntieDiluvian]

Scary and good!

[Widgetas]

Like reading under the covers when you're supposed to be asleep :)

[ramette99]

wow - very cool video

[Widgetas]

Thanks muchly.

ps - someone marked you as spam. Dunno why :S

[ramette99]

hmmm, how strange :)

[bewarethelizards42]

Brilliant awesome, Widge.. :) Shivers @ women being buried ahead of being stoned.. :/

Twatface is a bit terrifying now though.

[Widgetas]

He's looking at me. He has a knife. Oh my god I think he's going to ki...

[bewarethelizards42]

No game first?  Shame..

[Widgetas]

*deads from monkey knife*
