Episode 2[/url][/size] by DJ Yoshiman[/b] [img]http://i56.tinypic.com/10n9k41.jpg[/img] The past month has given us quite a few interesting games on MFGG, but What is This Thing? Episode 2 stands out becauses of the truly unique experience it offers. Like DJ Yoshiman's Episode 1, released for last year's NCFC, Episode 2 explores the history of MFGG beginning at the point where Episode 1 leaves off - around the time of the infamous "Great Kyle Flamewar." With MFGG's once-tranquil community up in arms after its first major bout with "drama," leaving the community and main site in tatters, Mario must travel to an alternate Sonic-based reality to try and restore order. While the game itself has only a minimal amount of action (unless you go out of your way, there's only one place in the game where you can even a lose a life), it's worth playing not just for its historical value, but for its impeccable music and entertaining story and dialogue. It also messes with your PC, which is rather fun in its own way. While this game isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, you should give it a play, and if you're not grounded in the backstory, I suggest taking a good look at some of the relevant articles in the MFGG Wiki. Also, a note: If you have a slower computer (or even some very new computers), you might get a more satisfactory performance from the "low-fi" version, also downloadable from the main site. And on another note, blame my business course for making me a day late on this.

it is a trip down memory lane to be sure.. some dark times for mfgg those were.... Cant wait for the next episode!

Even though I am from 2008, this game really tell me the history of MFGG! I can't wait for episode 3!! :)

well this was a pleasant surprise awesome summary, Vinny also i randomly came up with a song with just me singing "Supertoad in his office" just now - i should do that ALSO i will be releasing the soundtrack soon - will include one or two unheard songs, plus the full version of the Kyle final boss song (which gets interrupted very quickly)

One of the major reasons this series is so awesome is due to it's music!

Vinny might appreciate the two unreleased songs - both are pieces dedicated to orchestration

I suspect I would. And as for "Supertoad in his office," you should do that too.

here Vinny and whoever else that might miss it in the topic [b]What is This Thing? Episode 2 Soundtrack[/b]: http://djyoshiman.mufunoko.org/WiTT/WiTTEpisode2Soundtrack.zip

I would be elated by this... but for whatever reason, 7-Zip refuses to extract the files from the archive for me.

why me WHY ME maybe 7zip said "screw you" when i used the compression algorithm i chose will fix after i get back from work

didnt give me any troubble when I downloaded it. ...odd....

For those that can't extract the files from DJ Yoshiman's zip, I've provided a working alternative [url=http://www.box.net/shared/2b5t5m4ddond9hqgl5cr]here[/url], thanks to Nite Shadow. He's uploading it to make a mirror of his own, as well. @DJ Yoshiman: You don't mind us making these unofficial mirrors, right?

[url=http://www.mediafire.com/?dg8heffm9vhxsp8]Here[/url] is another working unofficial mirror, Hope this helps yo-man! ;)

i think i fixed it now so you can re-download it, but i've no issue with mirrors

New one appears to be working fine on my end, File size difference of only a few kilobytes. old:18,265 KB New:18,296 KB Unofficial mirror by Me: 18,237 KB Unofficial mirror by Miles: 18,274 KB all of which show the exact file size in Megabytes, 17.8 MB (in other words, the difference is insignificant) all 4 decompressed to exactly 19,185,812 bytes in individual folders. 18.2 MB All have been tested and confirmed working on my end.

Sorry for cutting in, but since the main site have not updated any new Mario fangames, how are we ready for the game of the month of October?
