I came…
What?
To this city…
Oh.
To listen to a dramatic reading of our Portable Atrocities song!
By TotalHalibut, submitted by Badonk and Stephen

Update: We now have an updated version with background music by akovaski!

Should I be surprised?

I believe that when everyone first saw this picture they all read it out loud to themselves to see how it sounded

I'm not so much surprised as I am thrilled :D

I do say, this act of verbosity, despite its intense abundance of language worthy of 69 Electronic Reputation Points, has failed to humour me due to a lack of instrumentals.

Do you propose that this work requires the use of a ringing instrument associated with bovines?
Reply
I, too, am in a position of humourless lament. Perhaps at the lack of musical apparatus, perhaps at the hesitation frequently sampled displaying a sense of broken rhythm...I could only entertain 45 seconds of it.
Reply
The distinct lack of a rhythm to the said recitation turned what was designed as a musical piece into a most humorless lecture. Instrumentation of some design would also have been appreciated.

Trolls make the internet go 'nsane.

What was it that Nietzsche said? "In fighting trolls one must not become a troll himself?" Or was he talking about drummers...
Reply
I'm pretty sure it was "He who fights with drummers might take care lest he thereby become a drummer."

Well, they did rule a good portion of it for quite some time.

Verily, what you say is truth.

Indubitably, this fictional Japanese portable atrocity-styled electronic online watchable piece of work is as highly good as the ancient written stories of the Odyssey or Beowulf. As well, if submitting fictional Japanese portable atrocity-styled submissions was a contest, I would say that this one was the winner.

Upon first witness of this, I tried to project the lyrics through harmonious phrases. When attempted amongst my peers, I was made a mockery of, and now upon listening to the above submission, I realiize that projecting in a monotone voice would have been the better option.

YELLOW PORTABLE ABOMINATION THAT BEARS THE NAME PIKACHU, I HEREBY DECREE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED!
PIKACHU employed an ELECTRICAL CURRENT THAT IS OF A MOST SHOCKING QUALITY, AND MAY BE READILY ASSOCIATED WITH A TREMENDOUS NOISE AKIN TO THUNDER!!
IT IS SUPREME IN ITS EFFECTIVENESS AT DEALING DAMAGE!

As an aside, through the use of sensory organs affiliated with the act of hearing, I have come to understand that you have an appreciative inclination towards Mudkips.

Totalhalibut does it again it seems he has made his way onto halolz

I say, I deeply lament the unsettling fact that I am without any devices that enable audible output in order for me to listen to this chap's more than likely incredible recital.

A quandary, this is.

I have perused the commentary made by members of the community of the Hollow Cylindrical Object of the Second-Person and members of the community of the Laughter of Circular Heavenly Head Toppers and have seen the distinct class differences between the two communities. I dare say that we are of a higher caliber than those uncouth miscreants. Indeed, it is my belief that our mythical brutes that deliver Negative Ones to our commentary are even above the general populace of the Hollow Cylindrical Object of the Second-Person.

...and apparently, this one comment was atrocious enough to lower my score by an entire 59 points. Lovely.
Reply
I... know you said it was unrelated. I'm not sure why I expected that to be even remotely related.
Reply
I say, verily am i fond of this chap who announces himself as halibut. For the young man has broadcast many a production featuring the amusement know as "Heavenly Body appertaining to Hostilitycraft" a quite riveting amusement, In which myself and my associates have enjoyed many a reconnaissance.

Put this to the music of the original Pokémon theme song? Don't mind if I do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUW4alBb4yY

I am highly apologetic, but I must speak my mind and verily proclaim that I prefer the gentlemen translation and version of "meet the spy". The gentlemen in that video seemed to enjoy proclaiming their statements to each other.

Needed more of this in the background.

*sips tea* Indeed so.
Reply
Good sir, I must inform you that I indeed attempted to process both this music and the original reading through my auditory sensory organs. Alas, the two electronic moving pictures do not proceed at the same rate, creating a disharmonious musical piece.

I liked the part where he said Portable atrocities.

Totalhalibut is epic!!!

That was... beautiful!
This will be read at my funeral!
I'm going to go get Man Tissues for my Manly Man Tears.

I watched this video before it was featured on Halolz.

DEAR GOD I'VE BECOME A HIPSTER SOMEONE HELP ME!

I dare say I believe most things sound better when you speak them in a British accent my dear chaps.
