I don't BOOAHR YOU!!! Did you not take my warning seriously?

[icksel]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­

[plazmamonkrylord]

A couple of mistakes that have probably already been pointed out already, First, It's what kind of fool are you, rather than I don't Booahr...I don't even know if Booahr is a word, unless you meant bore, and it's D'ni, not Dunny.

[Dachusblot]

@plazmamonkrylord Actually in the first game it was spelled "Dunny." They changed it quickly after realizing that "dunny" is Australian slang for a toilet or an outhouse, lol.

And yes, I feel super nerdy for knowing that. :)

[Dunthyon]

FOREVERRRRRR!

[777teg]

why doesn't he just write a link out of there?

[AtenRa]

@777teg Linking Books have to be written at your destination point. Atrus would have to be on Myst to write a new book leading back to there. The page you're bringing him is for a book written on Myst so he can link there from D'ni at last.

[777teg]

@AtenRa

but if you read the books on the shelf it points out that he got to the worlds for the first time using links to them....

[AtenRa]

@777teg When the Myst game was first created, the Descriptive Book vs. Linking Book hadn't been fully fleshed out yet, but now it is.

The verb "linking" is often used to refer to the transportation process. When Atrus "uses a link," he can transport himself to a new world using the Descriptive Book he wrote that "creates" the world.

You can "link" to a new world the first time by means of the Descriptive book. But to "link" back, you need a Linking Book, which must be written at the source.

[777teg]

@AtenRa

ah, ok. i always thought that the linking books WERE descriptive books and that somehow it made a portal into the world they described on the front page. thanks for clearing that up. :)

[AtenRa]

@777teg Both DBs and LBs have the little windows in them so you can go into the Age. The difference is that DBs are the origin, the master copy that describes the Age. If you burn this book, the bridge to the Age is gone forever. Atrus is writing in the Riven DB here.

LBs are smaller, portable, and contain essential phrases connecting them to the world in the DB from the place they're written. Without an LB, you can't leave the world for another place, stuck forever. The Myst book hereis an LB.

[777teg]

@AtenRa

wow. thanks for teaching me that! ( not being sarcastic.) lol im a hardcore myst fan and yet i never realised that...lol.

[AtenRa]

@777teg The Myst novels flesh the books concept out in more detail and two were written by Rand Miller himself. These days you can find all three together as The Myst Reader in stores.

[NextGeneration247]

"Welcome, you Dummy!"



[DeadlyNightShade60]

i bet he's writing

STUPID NOOB FORGOT TEH PAGE NOW STUCK HERE WITH HIM 4 EVA

i am not amused

[yoix4]

I guess they become friends, beacause in the riven He didn`t want to kill him. In the beginning of riven he finished the book he was writing.

[MakingVideoGames]

@yoix4 this is a vid from the bad ending the cannon to riven was the good one where he was not mad. if this ending had happened you, atrus, cathrean, and the rebles would probubly had gone back to the reble age to live out the rest of your life...or till that age died

[melkor65]

is this from original myst?

[zabthesandwich]

I really hat that ending cause he write and writes and writes..... booooRRIIIING!!

[JimmyNickNick]

isn't dunny spelled like this:  D'ni

sorry if your mad. >_<

[PeterAnimator]

Gee Atrus, you could have made your warnings a bit more clear. All of them were hidden in some weird place, most required research and a notebook to figure out what the heck they even meant, and they appeared to be addressed to your wife or kids all the time, so why don't you just be grateful you don't have to hang out here all by yourself any more and ask my name so we can get to know each other a bit better? Oh, and what's there to eat around here? I haven't had a bite since I arrived.

[pulseforce]

I mean, sure the word "fool" is very guttural and more of a grunt, but you SHOULD AT LEAST be able to hear the beginning of the sentence; "what kind of" and the end "are you?!". Really, only the word "fool" is hard to make out.

[pulseforce]

"What kind of fool are you?!" I feel bad for you for being unable to hear this.

[Agent1W]

So is there any cool places or people in this D'ni? Can I still get on Xbox Live? :P

[lilwyvern4]

I always thought he said something like "I implored you!" For the longest time, I always wondered what the BOOAHR was. Now I know. Hooray for hammy amateur acting!

[lilwyvern4]

@lilwyvern4 Also, I think I have a new toy for Chatroulette! XD Watch for AGNRY ATRUS some time!

[nellautumngirl]

*sniff* you and i will live here *sniff* lool

i never noticed the sniffing *gives him a handkerchief*

[s3an9000]

its "what a FOOL are you?!?!

short for what kind of fool are you

[Phalanx2105]

0:16 FACEPALM

[CommanderPayne]

HAHA HURP DE DURP MEMEEEEESSS

[wolfram]

it is spelt D'ni lol

[TrackManiaMon]

actually he says: Ah, my friend You have returned We meet face to face And the page? Did you bring the page? "sigh" You didn't bring the page. You didn't bring the page! I abhor you! Did you not take my warning seriously? "sigh" Welcome to Dunny (D'ni). You and I will live here forever.

[89Obscure]

LOL Atrus doesn't booahr me... how sad.

[Mark001002]

Hello everybody,

Back when YouTube started to have a distinguished "High Quality" option, this video always played too fast on some computers (including mine) unless viewed in HQ. Now, for some reason, that option no longer exists as YT has apparently claimed to make "all" videos play in HQ, but the video still plays too fast anyway.  Does anyone know of a solution to this? It's ridiculous that having a distinguished "high quality" setting should ruin the normal playback of videos. >:-(

[sudiin]

It works just fine for me, I even tried the good old &fmt=18 trick and it still plays well in high quality.

[LadyRevan7]

boy, what an exciting live that would be..sitting around forever while Atrus writes in his book..haha

[lacrossestar83]

horribly unsynced video. 1 star.

[Mark001002]

Sorry -- but all please know that this is not my fault. (See above comment I just added before this one.) YouTube is being stupid and messing up the playback of my video.

[jungledyrene]

where does Atrus make his dinner in that world?

[lightspeedtamsy]

I think you might be right!

[HLkiller2]

ooo... A blue "FOREVER"! yay!

:P

[youvebeenthunderstru]

...D'ni, not Dunni.

[radioactivegamer]

in the original game it was called Dunny, it was later changed to D'ni because in Australia (I think it was there) dunny means toilet.

[amitamit2]

he says: "what kind of FOOL ARE YOU?" (whispers "what kind of" and shouts "fool are you")

[velvetcat]

How does he eat or drink??? O_o

[nodysseus]

silly velvetcat, Atrus doesn't need to eat, he sustains himself with the sheer force of his own awesomeness

[velvetcat]

I'm thinking maybe he eats books because he loves them so much.

[NextGeneration247]

Someone should send this to G4 "Around the Net."

[davidakhoa]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I'll never see this game the same ever again. At the age of 10, I didn't know what he said and didn't care. All I know was that he was mad at me. XD

Thanks for uploading this. It was funny! ;)

[SonataFanatica]

Hehehehehehee!! "I don't BOOAHR YOU!!" :D :D :D

Of course that's not what he sais but that's the joke! :D

[KongRubix]

I've always heard it as "What kind of fool are you" -- I don't even see how there is any discrepency

[DevilMaster]

Yes, he DOES say "What kind of fool are you". This video is just a joke.

[NextGeneration247]

Dude, you're all wrong! He says: I DEPLORE YOU!!! NOT I don't BOOAHR YOU. That does'nt make any sense.

[Zoidus]

The phrase is actually, "What kind of fool are you?" (This is confirmed in the remake version "Real Myst". You can see it in the one and only video response to this video.)

[NextGeneration247]

No, really. I asked my dad. He said it had to be "I deplore you!!". What I meant in my comment was in the MYST game not realMYST.

[Zoidus]

Listen carefully, it's "What kind of fool are you?" I can't hear it any other way anymore, I'm positive that's what it is...

[Gamers4rLife]

And I agree. I've played the game numerous times and he says "What kind of FOOL are you!?"

[bonchbonch]

To me, it sounds like he's saying "I abhor you."

[lakecityransom]

I always felt that myst had some serious plot holes... like how did both brothers get trapped at same time so neither noticed? Did both say "okay go" and went into the red and blue books lol... and praytell how did the book pages go missing into seperate ages? How are you trapped by a transformation with (assumibly) pages intact?

Don't you have to eat to live?

Even if the brothers are freed, what are they gonna do? Atrus must be freed to get them out of imagination world that is myst?

[lakecityransom]

Also why can't Atrus just write some book like he does? Where did he get the paper and pen supplies he was writing with for all that time lol... what HAS he been writing all that time?

Any enlightment on these issues and more would be appreciated.

[heavythehobbit]

Check out the comments on the video response there are alot of answers from scratchmyears

[Megaritz]

To lackcityransom:

Sirrus and Achenar believed the ages in the red and blue books were filled with riches that Atrus didn't want anyone to know about. They were actually traps for thieves, basically. Sirrus and Achenar both chose an age to plunder, and found themselves trapped.

As for how the pages got scattered onto all those different ages...that's a plot hole. No way around it. There was no way those pages would get out of those books.

[emilyrln]

I always thought that Atrus ripped those pages out and scattered them... but then why would he be trapped... unless S'n'A were really sneaky and left the prison book out before they went plundering, to trap Atrus anyway... but I can't see them leaving his incarceration incomplete and unsure...

so yeah, plot hole!

no, wait! one of the traffic cones did it! XD

[TheStinkyHindu]

ummm no! Did you not play Riven? You should go back and read why Atrus's father Gehn couldn't write his way out in the beginning.

[emilyrln]

Lol, I played it last year on my mum's pc, and it doesn't work on my mac, alas! So the whole go back an look thing is tricky for the time being... But thanks for the advice; I will go and read up when I get the chance :)

[Megaritz]

More for lackcityransom:

I have no idea what Atrus ate in that room he was trapped in. I don't know where he replenished his paper and pens either. :|

I can tell you what he was writing though. You find out more about it in the sequel, Riven.

*mild SPOILERS for Riven*

He is writing in the age of Riven, to keep the land from falling apart, because the age is unstable. His wife is trapped there.

[theones77]

so that's why in the GOOD ending he said he has to face a bigger foe and his wife is left hostage

[jddj333]

Did you ever find a way to get out of that place, iscrewed up and know im ticked.

[emilyrln]

You can't. Believe me, if there was a way, Atrus would have found it in the time that he's been here.

(I did it too, just to see what would happen. Nope. No way out. The exit collapsed.)

[vaati000]

He doesn't boohar me! :(

[Mandalorian10]

this is the worst video ever, easy. whats the point. wtf is up with a shit video like this. im confused coz its so shit

[shadyparadox]

Yes, it's "what kind of fool are you?"

But if the creators heard the title of this video as a suggestion, I'm sure they would have changed it.

[radioactivegamer]

I think it's "what kind of fool are you!" but that's just me.

[everlynnrayne147536]

It might be "I deplore you"

No clue really...

[Millsytheshred]

lol hes atrus! just write a linking book, easy :P

[drmidi2007]

Did you bring the page? Bring the page? Bring the page?... yeah, Atrus likes idle conversation, doesn't he?

[emilyrln]

yes, when you have the page and just stand there XDD

"The page, my friend, give me the page!"

one time I just stood there and waited to see how long he'd repeat himself. (Bad tactic with Saavedro--you get whacked with a book or an ax!)

[bernlin2000]

Yeah "what kind of fool are you", what a douche :P

[Sailor11Sedna]

I read your "kerfuffle" over the script. Yeah, once I pressed my ear to the speaker, it sounded more like "'kind of FOOLAREYOU!"

Welcome to D'ni. Restroom linking book is five miles that way.

[HalDidntDoIt]

This would make a good sitcom. Atrus and the player character stuck in that little room forever. I bet some wacky stuff happened in there.

[secreticelandprod]

@HalDidntDoIt lol like a mad tv or saturday night live skit or somethin along those lines?

[theendofit]

its "what a fool are you" not "i don't booahr you"

[Fr4zer3000]

Though "Booahr" does sound funnier!

[theendofit]

all tho i do hear booahr you if i try but i can hear fool are you much esyer.

but to me even trying sounds more like boo are you then booahr you yeas vary close to the same but i can hear a gap

[shadyparadox]

My favorite part is the resigned "Welcome to D'ni" followed by the sound of his hands falling on the book.

[opusman2]

LOL

[UruFan4]

Actually, he is saying "What kind of fool are you?!"

[Mark001002]

I'm glad many of you agree that the acting/antics are funny, with the looks and hand-slamming and BOOAHR!!! I used to make parody movies (a.k.a. "poops") of the Myst game clips as an old pastime, and perhaps I will have a YouTube Poop (YTP)-ready movie sometime. (And I hereby shotty it against anyone who intends to steal my idea! :-> )

[Marein86]

It sounds to me like a combination between "What (kind of) a fool are you?!" and "I don't believe you!!".

Funny :D

[MystressDark13]

And it DOES sound like 'booar you'...

[Shintaka9009]

It's spelt D'ni.

^^; Not trying to be rude, mind you.

This ending was funny. :D

[Mark001002]

You are correct in that it is spelled "D'ni" more modernly; however, I believe it was originally (around the time this first game came out) officially spelled "Dunny" and then changed at some point. The video on the game CD from which this is dubbed comes in a folder called "DUNNY".

[Frungi]

Mark: Yeah, I think the folder on the CD was the only place it was phonetically spelled Dunny. Everywhere else I've ever seen says D'ni.

[theendofit]

the reson for it speld like that on the file is becuse at the time quiqk time did not let you put ' in tiles of files im not sure if you can now with tech geting better youd think you should

[Mark001002]

Sorry, what do you mean by "put ' in tiles of files"? I only uploaded the original .MOV file from the Myst CD, without editing. I believe it initally worked on Youtube until "High Quality" was started. High Quality is still in many/most videos but I don't know why it later disappeared from this one forcing the bad playback, and why the playback went bad in the first place.

[theendofit]

what im saying is that the video editing software and play back software did not let the creators use symbols like the ' as in d'ni so they would have had to name the file dni with out it now this removes the sign giving a hint of how to pronounce it so speeling it finatcily made saince

[MystressDark13]

O.o

Never, in any Myst game, have I seen Atrus mad enough to hit something.

It's very amusing.

[Mark001002]

Based on some of the comments, I have somewhat, with at least a bit of contortion, been able to make out "...kind of FOOL ARE YOU?!!!" and, with even less certainty, the word "What" at the beginning, but I'm surprised that some of you said you clearly heard the entire phrase that way. I don't booahr you! Aughhh! Hhhhh.

[WickedWitchOfCanada]

is it just me our is he just saying what a fool are you ...did you not take me seriously?

[vaati000]

...What has he been eating for the past who-knows-how-long? Books?

[Mark001002]

LOL! Maybe he writes burgers 'n' fries into the room!

[uuserneim]

It's pretty obviously "What kind of fool are you?!" to me, dunno where you guys buy your speakers from :D

[TubeZoogy]

Maybe he's cursing in Channelwood language? Hehe. I got curious and put on headphones to listen to what he's saying... very softly, you can hear him say "What kind of-" before he slams the book and yells the rest, "-FOOL are you?!" That's my take anyway.

[Mark001002]

Now that I have replayed it a few times, I admit I think perhaps I can barely make out a very quick, faint, under-the-breath word word "What", and analyzing it in this context I think I can just make out the "k" in "kind" -- but interestingly enough, the acoustics of that "k" seems to have some kind of "quantum"-ish duality to it -- like it's there in one mode of hearing but not in another.

[Mark001002]

... All of this seems to be made more clear by normalizing my volume such that I turn it way up in the quiet part and way down in the loud part. The "f" in "fool" is not audible, not only for being too quiet, but probably also because of external noise, frequency clipping, and/or aliasing.

[Mark001002]

... Thinking about it, the problem in hearing seems to be partly due to the sound quality, echo effect, and Atrus's profusely slurred speech in this phrase.

[Mark001002]

... The most audible part is that from the vowel sound "ooo" to the rhotic consonant at the end. You can hear a vowel "broadening" or "fluctuating" within that, which is the (slurred) change from the word "fool" to "are" with the "L" being very light, as in "foow're". When one does make out an "L", like MasterToku, then something like a "boolah" could be heard, I guess.

[Mark001002]

... After all these years, this is so enlightening!

[Korurinu]

I coulda sworn I heard "What a fool are you?!"...

[Frungi]

Wow Mark, are you a philologist or something? (I don't think that's the right word, but "philology" is fun to say anyway...) You seem to know a lot about linguistics.

[Mark001002]

Same thing with the phrase "What a fool are you!" -- the initial vowel sounds like a long "I" ("ay") immediately followed by an initial "d" sound.

Now about the "b" in my alleged (fake) word "booahr", it's questionable whether or not it's there or for that matter if there's even a consonant there. It's a little drowned out by the slamming of the hand down on the book (which is quite funny). (Look how straight his fingers are!)

[TubeZoogy]

lol I love that they included this ending as a possibility. "Welcome to D'ni... you and I will live here forever." I love how he shoots you glares in between his writing too. So well done!!

[MasterToku]

I don't BOOLAH you!

[Mark001002]

Interesting suggestion of the word "boolah". I have always contemplated what Atrus (Rand Miller) was trying to say, whether it's an actual word or not, and my interpretation is the (gibberish) word "booahr" because you can hear the "r" at the end (alveolar approximant).

Anyway, ... Welcome to Dunny! (drops hands on book)

[MasterToku]

I'm pretty sure he's saying "What kind of fool are you?"

But I like Boolah better.

[Mark001002]

Err... How are you getting the phrase "What kind of..." ("fool are you?"). I hear only 2 very quick syllables before the loud word and they almost unmistakably sound like "I don't...". The first syllable really sounds like a long "I" and you can hear the initial "d" sound at the beginning of the second syllable. Glad to get the wheels turning on this though! :-)

[MasterToku]

"Kind of" resembles "I Don't". At least, audially (?). And if said really fast, "What" can slip by undetected.

[isestrex]

This video is a classic. They re-shot it for realMyst so the only way you can see this is by playing the original.
