Ignoring for the moment the fact you're distributing someone else's work by doing this, can I just object to the technical incompetence of encoding an ascii video as a 5MB avi at 1146kb/s... that's bigger than just giving people the game, and enough bitrate for high quality tv.

It *is* high quality tv!  The intro movie is like the best thing about the game.

Various new people came in from this review, which is cool.

Technical incompetance, or just the fact that everyone and their grandmother has broadband nowadays, and it takes maybe 20 seconds of realtime to record a standard video and upload it?
