Through Thick and Thin [YOUMACON 2009 BEST ROMANCE WINNER]

**PLEASE READ! Important!**
YouTube messed up my video sync a little. It comes out looking kind of jumpy and choppy (especially at pan/scan scenes like 2:02 - 2:04). It's also slightly off-sync at some parts. I tried many formats for uploading, but YouTube doesn't like me very much. Please download my video from the link below to view it properly. (Using the HQ option for some reason seems to help the jumpiness slightly, so please press HQ if you can't download.)

I love your videos, but your descriptions and all those captions that appear are REALLY annoying. You keep saying it's out of sync, but it's NOT! Get a little self respect man, it looks perfect! PERFECT!

[MeliChan923]

@Klokinator Thank you very much. I rewatched the video here and the sync issue has thankfully somehow seemed to have fixed itself for the most part. I'll take the captions out of the video and check my others as well. =)

I hate when people really have nothing relevant to say and just say something like, 'wow rate this comment if u like the video' and people do! Like, c'mon! Put more effort into the comment and people, like something worth liking.
