Art of Camcordering

[CaptainTinTyrant]

Back in the day, a Neo Geo was $800 dollars, and a single game was $200. He spent one thousand dollars to record himself playing Art of Fighting, and then record it on a TV screen while he talks over it, and then post it on the internet 15 years later.

[mawknation]

Oh, he's a MUGEN fan.

That explains everything we've seen here.

[guitarrhythymfool]

My stopwatch has exactly 7 seconds for the line to get from bottom to top.

[Level1Slime]

You know, he would have been better off letting the internet think that he made this a long time ago rather than making some little kneejerk video saying "I BOUGHT IT ON DA PS2 DURR U SO STOOPID" to try and feel better about being RPed.

I mean I could see a child recording VHS of themselves playing videogames, but he should be old enough to know better and he still made a video of his mediocre fighting game skills with bra straps snapping off. That actually makes it MORE pathetic kid, not less.

[KaraMayonakaSora]

I'm sorry. I love your video commentaries, but this NeoGeo crap is too terrible. I just can't watch.

[toshiroowns]

I don't understand why you're able to just 3 hit people in this game. Does he have some handicap on or is it just that stupid?

[pHr33kAcHu]

I just bought this exact model VCR for $12. 

[Cheetah1251]

It took 9 secs for the black line to get to the top.

[MrBlakeazoidX]

"Ok what im about to show you is..."

"The ring?"

[gewddoogie]

This guy running a beta max!

[xtrastage]

The only way this could get more avant garde would be if he was playing Art of Noise on SACD at the same time.

[EdmacZ]

I ORDERED THE ART OF FIGHTING ANTHOLOGY FOR PS2 ONLINE.

Like it actually makes any difference. Actually I think it may be worse. The video is a piece of crap regardless.

[EternalGuardian07]

OH...MY...GOD!!! He has discovered CHIP DAMAGE, a staple in so many fighting games before and after Art of Fighting.

[MitchZer0II]

I traveled through time and learned that this guy is Ridley, and he wanted to control the Metroids so they can strip Samus's clothes off.

[MightyKombat]

to try to call out a mitsake they made. They're not perfect but the way he acts you'd think that one mistake invalidates everything wrong with that LPer.

[dandy269]

It takes 7 seconds for the line to move up the screen

[PvtRichardCranium]

@dandy269 I got 8 1/2.

[Brassherald]

These remind me of when I had a paper due in high school with video clips that, for some reason, had to be on VHS when they were already hard to find. So, when my VCR broke, I recorded a clip with the camcorder the day before it was due... I'm still ashamed by the low quality that I used 8 years ago, now, and these people are putting up lower quality with no time limit when its simple to make a high def video.

[BigJuicyx3]

@wikiporno

What you should have said-

"Learn to use FRAPS".

[wikiporno]

LEARN TO HYPERCAM YOU FAGS!

[greenyawgmoth]

@wikiporno But it has to be unregistered hypercam 2.

[TheNerdator]

@greenyawgmoth Can you even register Hypercam?

[EdmacZ]

This video didn't really end. It just sort of stops.

[WilliamLongfellow]

Statistics on the blue scan line:

- it takes about 7.5 seconds for it to climb the screen

- eleven scan lines appeared, ten of which finished their ascent

- just under 1.5 seconds elapse between each blue scan line

- 88 seconds elapsed before we reached gameplay

[crazyassmuffin]

@WilliamLongfellow

[PointsofData]

@WilliamLongfellow That's thousands of times more interesting then the video.

[Icerama108]

@WilliamLongfellow You can also just look at the timer at the bottom of the screen . . . :\

[typomanbros]

I just realized that the kid in the Camcorder LP's ancestor video won a NeoGeo. Maybe that's this guy.

[EthVortexShield]

The response video uploader must beat his chest with pride every day thinking he "owned" retsupurae, the guy cant be assed to have people tell him otherwise since comments were disabled recently

[MightyKombat]

I...uhh...might have had a hand in that.

[MightyKombat]

I actually know the guy. He's okay but he has one problem: He's got quite a temper.

[hakurouroku]

@EthVortexShield I don't understand the response video. Please explain for me, it confuses me.

[hurr48]

@hakurouroku he ordered it on ps2? i don't know either

[EvanCWaters]

Wow, that response video is... something.

[xplay108]

What?! He is lets "playing" prerecorded game game footage on a VCR...... This isn't a lets play! This is artistic expression. It symbolizes how lets plays have become so mainstream.

[SaladofStones]

@xplay108

I'm sure if it was in the hands of a more competent artist this could be made into a beautiful form of expression about the nature of the audience watching someone play a game, so what if we, as the audience, watched a man watch someone else play the game. I think it talks about the nature of Retsupurae as well: We listen to people who do LPs MST people who do LPS. This shit is getting deep because I can't even bullshit this anymore I don't know about you guys. This is the future.

[nicodude12]

about 8 seconds

[MrPSPLock]

Do you guys still have people sign up for Retsuprae?

[xplay108]

@MrPSPLock If so, PICK ME :D

[AcetheGolden]

It costs eight hundred dollars to make this video for nine minutes.

[blueboy093]

i counted it took 9 seconds for that line to get to the top

[MudScarf]

8 Mississippi.

[thapoint09]

8 seconds.

[MightyKombat]

Just wanted to say quickly and maybe beat a dead horse, he was actually playing the PS2 colleciton. He said he ordered it online and you guys kinda talked over hima s eh said it. Just saying and all.

[KirbyRoolz47]

I got 8 seconds.

[crazycrashking105]

8 seconds

[criminal90210]

I count 9-10 Mississippi.

[troysson81]

I counted 8 seconds.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I got 8.5 seconds on mine :)

[CaptainTinTyrant]

so let me get this straight. this guy bought a neo geo (a consoule that cost $800 & only had a bunch of street fighter rip-offs) so that he could record himself playing one of those rip-off's...so that he could record himself talking over the recording 15 years in the future? genious!

[cadcTV]

uhh... I better not tell my mom I blew my College money on this...

quick, hide!

[0rionBTL]

He spent so much money on the Neo Geo that he couldn't afford a capture card, apparently.

[SoDaRa1]

I think I counted 9 seconds.

[TheBestVIP1]

really? i got 8 seconds

[TheNerdator]

Same here. 9 seconds.

[SonichuCardCenter]

Fuck man. This guy is the chuck norris of video recording.

[EthVortexShield]

the john madden of video-commentary

[Cooliespy345]

Peg me if I'm wrong but,

Couldn't he have just...eh...used an emulator of Neo Geo, and used the saved $800-1000(counting the game) to buy a dvd player and better TV?

[benimarucollider]

I don't blame you for being misinformed, since the RP guys talked over the LPer in the beginning, when he actually said he ordered the Art of Fighting Anthology for PS2 online the day before.

[benimarucollider]

Actually, it probably wasn't the day before, but whatever. I forgot to mention that he probably doesn't have a computer capable of recording neo-geo emulation at a decent framerate. There's also the issue of emulating commercial games you don't own being sort of illegal. It's practically impossible to be busted for it, but some people believe it's not right. One such person has a massive game library, and views emulation as an insult to that pride.

[xICrossIx]

Do YOU believe in miracles!?

[p3ngu1n48]

5 stars for the line

[AidenLS]

7 seconds

[DemonBait]

i counted 6

[AidenLS]

huh well isnt resupurae great

[dishamonpow]

He could have just got the ver. for the ps2 to get the cheapest one :P

[benimarucollider]

That's actually what he did. Watch the video again, this time attempting to listen through the sound of these guys talking over him, and when he says "true story" (not them, him), you can just barely hear him say that he did in fact order online, the Art of Fighting Anthology for the Playstation 2, to quote him exactly.

[indiana1935]

9 secs!

[Pugfudgy]

9 seconds, i timed it

[ElectrickxTiger]

WHATS A VHS???

[Kraftik611]

some people are to stupied to understand that capture cards even exist

[ThisISHappanin]

proves that most neo geo fans are shut ins

[munkyboywndr]

The line took approximately 10.5 seconds to go from the bottom to the top at the beginning of the video. Just fyi.

[regalgreen]

He spends $800 on a Neo Geo and game and he cant even buy a capture card...?

[benimarucollider]

Try actually listening to the LPer and you can hear him say, early on, that this is the Art of Fighting Anthology for the PS2, a budget game that's well worth the money if you like even two of the games.

[m4binogiman]

@regalgreen Did capture cards even exist back then?

[TheBilly]

@regalgreen Well those are like 20 bucks, but he had exactly $819

[eggbandicoot6]

@regalgreen I would never spend $800 on any video game thing.

[Cooliespy345]

What's weird is that you can hook your camcorder to your TV so it's clear and not at an angle. Same with a laptop and WMM.

Hmm, seems hard to copprehend....

[BackgroundBailey]

Maybe they don't have the kind of TV needed for that...you know, USB ports and stuff.

[SilenceOfTheDream]

i count 6.7 seconds!!! awesome video ...if you mute it and only play it to 1:29 :D

[BreakerdeGodot]

The only camcorder review/lp I've ever liked was the Happy Video Game Nerd's old videos.

[watsahappawitchu]

Well, at least it wasn't at an angle.

[Thanatos0123456789]

yes it was. lets just face it. camcorder lp'ers will never get it right.

[watsahappawitchu]

I think retsupurae should celebrate if someone does it.

[scarecrow719]

AOF was also released on other systems like the SNES

[MultimediaJay]

Coming up next. Let's Play The Blue Screen Of Death. :P

[DeimionWolf]

.... about 7 seconds..

hey, at least it isn't absolutely nothing to watch like that last- oh wait there is something to watch! and WHAT!? blocking reduces special attack damage but doesn't stop you from being OK'd!WAHT?! when did that happen before?!

[lisvender]

facepalm at the slow motion

[CupOfColdTea]

Waste of a good Neo-Geo

[Skullbuggy]

Waste of a good VHS tape

[TheBanjoFanboy]

Waste of youtube bandwidth

[Harvantes]

Waste of some good wisdom teeth.

[ginD4th]

good job kiddo spending $300 on a neo geo and art of fighting when you could've just downloaded it on wii for $8 =D

[warriorxero]

OR bought it on SNK Classics Collection on the PSP for 15. XD (If you wanted it cheaply portable)

[itselguapo]

my god he paid 800 dollars for this..... and this kid sucks at this game. my god he can get this game for the ps2 later on XD

[Wtcnb]

it's called chip damage

[YaigaMamire]

Yup, his mom was coming up the stairs..

[benimarucollider]

Wow. Apparently the hard truth is that if you ever criticize a person or persons as popular as retsupurae in a YouTube comment, by pointing out something they are unaware of, every retarded loser with a YouTube account will just jump on the opportunity to neg your comment, without for a minute ever considering that they should CAREFULLY FACT CHECK THE CRITICISM by actually watching the video before assuming you're full of shit. I just got fucking gang-raped for pointing out the truth. Awesome.

[MGlBlaze]

Don't you just love the human race in all its non-glory...?

[benimarucollider]

Glad to hear someone agrees with me.

[Droxy19]

You did not get "fucking gang-raped." You got what? Negative three rep at most on any one post?  That's far from gang-rape. It's one thing if you disagree with people over the internet, but if you're willing to disagree with others, you should be prepared for people to disagree with you. If you can't handle that, get off the internet.

[sonicfeet]

Too bad 70% of people who disagree with opinions stated over the internet express so by bellowing ad hominems at the people stating them.

If we got rid of every single person who tries to stop this shit, criticism of any internet media would nationally devolve into saying "fag."

I'm not defending this guy-- I just hate when people try to keep bad trends around and shoo off people who want them stopped.

[ShadowZidane4]

next video: Special guest, my mom came in while i was watching

[forebode]

we are watching a recording of two guys reviewing a recording, of a guy commentating on his own recording of him playing earlier.

[retributionex]

It sounds redundant, but it's quite funny.

[LordFeckington666]

It's totally not a rip off of Street Fighter!

[Edgemaster000]

Where's WildTengu/Izlude?

[Mysterious0Bob]

Dan Hibiki made this LP. It explains everything.

[Dakkusu]

The best part, besides it ending, was how he called the character "cheap" when he just spammed moves over and over.

[gwabafett]

it took 5 seconds to go from the bottom to the top :D

[CaptainPissweak]

I counted 6 from bottom to top.

[SuziG23]

I counted 7.....Why don't we just use a stop watch or something?

[kalacazoo]

Or maybe the youtube timeline!

[tyler6498]

i don't even wanna look at my Art of fighting game anymore...

[AZthehedgehog]

Damn, this is why I hate lets players... They actually make my favourite games look like utter crap...

[Xpert74]

"What'd you do with that 800 dollars I lent you?"

"uhhhh JUMP KICK JUMP KICK JUMP KICK"

[isbutts]

9:21 - 9:57 haha oh man

[Crezth]

Weed whacker audio, lol.

[dynablade1]

7 Seconds

[RonaldMacK]

You know what the sad thing is? When he talks about the cheap kick move? He's playing on EASY.

[br1ck4br4ck]

i know! he's bragging and then fuckin DIED on easy! though, considering he made this video, gets wildly angry over video games, and spent that much on a neo geo, not too surprising

[kdc29]

HA I got it. It took 13 seconds for that black line to reach the top!

[posthumanfetus]

NAH UH it was 7 seconds to me.

[OptionallySavage]

I counted seven.

[DoggyHateFire]

He points a camera at a television playing a VHS of a video game. That's just so mind blowing.

[Cubemario]

I quite literally said "oh no... HE IS" when he rewinded and slowed the video down. That is indeed the art of camcordering. He's got a lot of people beat, I must say. That was some primo stuff right there.

[xXMagicCookieXx]

It was eight seconds for me for the black line to get to the top... But I guess its diffrent for everyone.

[NoFearNoFlame]

8 seconds it takes for the black line to go up the monitor

[Dragonatrix]

8 for me too.

[Hamlin4th]

7 for me

[vetromaster]

8 for me too

[southy354]

7 for me

[vetromaster]

It seems to be dependent upon decoding speed, ergo if you have a fast CPU your decoding time will be of 7 seconds;)

[IMMATOONLINK]

8 here though

[joshryker]

His big brother was probably coming home and was walking down to the basement where Thickness here was videotaping his videotape using the brother's camcorder without permission. He had to haul ass out of there to avoid yet another purple nurple applied to his prodigious manbreasts.

[drunkendan]

no art of fighting is on the ps2

[drunkendan]

as i said it is on the ps2(art of fighting antholegy) but man this guy sucks. Also the part with yuri was from 2 but the gameplay was from 1 wtf. How can he fail on easy mode? Oh yeah also art of fighting 1 and 2 were on the snes.

[POOPTURTLE]

I think the blue word said "BONUS."

[dumuh]

The line took 7-8 seconds from when it started at 0:28 and ended at 0:35.

[Tornado2312]

I can almost guarantee that nearly all the people who watched this video counted the line instead of listening to the guy.

[dumuh]

lol true.

[Actizn]

That guy said things?

[Tornado2312]

I wouldn't know, the echo of his voice in the room made it illegible.

[MikailCaboose]

I did! It took 7 seconds.

[Tatsudoshi]

Wow, anyone else notice he picked easy, then nearly lost in the first round? I mean, yeah, he won, but it's EASY mode. Christ.

Camcorders! Oh how perfect you are, look at that quality, I can see every single scanline on that TV! That's AMAZING!

[AbbeyNormal]

Wait, so he's just talking over a video of himself playing a game, not even playing while talking? Isn't that a violation of Let's Play rules or something? It's gotta be cheating in some way.

[docsigma]

It's worse. He's talking over a video OF A VIDEO of himself playing a game. Notice how the video-of-a-video is being rewound, etc.

Freakin' fantastic stuff here!

[AbbeyNormal]

That blew my mind.

[lisledre]

A video of a video of himself playing a game most likely when the game was new, meaning not only $800 for a NeoGeo, but a few hundred for a VCR as well given the time period.

Over a grand for a little over nine minutes of terrible and embarrassing commentary capped off with a portly, long-haired figure rushing for the off button for what is likely a disturbing reason.

[ConservativeCat]

You, sir, are a hilarious.

[Assasin2]

No Post Commentary is allowed, but usually if you do that it has to be GOOD and this guy clearly is not.

[acidglow]

Nice weed whacker, lol

[Guybrush923]

The line takes 12 seconds to reach the top.

[cherrydoom]

Check out the fat fuck at 2:33. I'll let you decide whether I'm talking about the guy in the game or the shoulder in the shot.

[Zorlance]

So, who is this guy?

[waldfield]

WOAH

[Rainiac666]

This guy is nothing but a sub-scrounger. What the heck made him think THIS was a good idea?

[BeholdMyStrength]

Aww Rainiac, it's so easy to see! He thought he would be awesome attempting to be the John Madden of LP's by using his frame by frame playback to review the action!.>XD
