Chapters missing? Also a YouTube thing. They used to work, but one day just stopped showing.

HOW TO WATCH THIS (or any fullscreen playthrough) ON A CRT:
Go to capture version of this video.
For VGA monitors, use VGA output from your PC, or HDMI to VGA adapter.
For standard CRTs, you need a downscaler or CRT Emudriver, along with the right adapters/sync converters, such as HDMI to YPbPr, VGA2SCART, or VGA2NTSC, etc. - depending on your TV inputs.

The capture footage captured here is raw, and was NOT altered or enhanced in post.

Gameplay shown here was edited and cut in order to just show only successful grand master runs, for brevity. The unedited footage is 14 hours long!

So, when you hear me being suddenly angry, frustrated, or quiet while playing a new level, it might be out of context, it's because you are only seeing the successful runs mashed together, and not the gazillion failures that took place before achieving the grand master (in some stages).

Likewise, if you are watching the no commentary version, and I am behaving oddly, it's probably because I am showing something to the viewers in the original commentary version that would otherwise look odd without commentary. I try to reduce those moments so as not to affect the no commentary version, but sometimes it is inevitable. Fast forwarding is at your disposal either way.

Apologies for the occasional video and/or audio signal drops. As far as I remember, this time it only happened once, on the last stage.

PS: I mention the unedited, 14-hour playthrough as a possible future upload, but after one part (7 hours) took 3 days to upload, I don't think it's worth the hassle, as the grand master run is already long enough.
