    This was a triumph.
    HERE TRIUMPH
    I'm making a note here:
    I WRITE
    Huge success.
    BIG SUCCESS
    It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
    HARD EXPRESS MY SATISFIED
    Aperture Science.
    {APERTURE} SCIENCE
    We do what we must because we can.
    DO WHY? WE CAN
    For the good of all of us
    HELP-(all)
    Except the ones who are dead.
    BUT NOT PEOPLE DEAD
    But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
    BUT YOU NOT CRY ABOUT MISTAKE+++
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
    YOU TRY+++ UNTIL CAKE GONE
    And the science gets done and you make a neat gun.
    SCIENCE FINISH, YOU MAKE COOL GUN
    For the people who are still alive.
    FOR PEOPLE STILL ALIVE
    I'm not even angry.
    I NOT ANGRY
    I'm being so sincere right now.
    I TELL TRUE
    Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
    NO-MATTER YOU BREAK HEART, KILL-(me)
    And tore me to pieces.
    TEAR-(me)+++
    And threw every piece into a fire.
    THROW-(me)-(at)+++ FIRE
    And as they burned it hurt because
    AS BURN HURT WHY?
    I was so happy for you!
    I HAPPY FOR-(you)
    Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
    NOW POINTS {DATA} MAKE BEAUTIFUL LINE
    And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time.
    NOW FINISH, LEAVE ON-TIME
    So I'm GLaD I got burned.
    I HAPPY I BURN
    Think of all the things we learned
    THINK-(about) ALL LEARN
    For the people who are still alive.
    FOR PEOPLE STILL ALIVE
    Go ahead and leave me.
    YOU LEAVE-(me)
    I think I prefer to stay inside.
    I PREFER STAY INSIDE
    Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
    MAYBE YOU FIND OTHER PERSON, HELP-(you)
    Maybe Black Mesa...
    MAYBE BLACK TABLE
    THAT WAS A JOKE. Haha. FAT CHANCE.
    THAT JOKE, FUNNY, FAT MAYBE
    Anyway, this cake is great.
    AND CAKE AWESOME
    It's so delicious and moist.
    DELICIOUS, MOIST
    Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
    LOOK-(at me) TALK++, SCIENCE NOT FINISH
    When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
    I LOOK-OUT, HAPPY NOT YOU
    I've experiments to run there is research to be done
    HAVE EXPERIMENTS, RESEARCH
    On the people who are still alive
    ON PEOPLE STILL ALIVE
    And believe me I am still alive.
    BELIEVE-(me) I STILL ALIVE
    I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
    I DO SCIENCE, I STILL ALIVE
    I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
    I FEEL AWESOME, I STILL ALIVE
    While you're dying I'll be still alive.
    AS YOU DETERIORATE, I STILL ALIVE
    And when you're dead I will be still alive.
    WHEN YOU DEAD, I STILL ALIVE
    Still alive
    STILL ALIVE
    Still alive
    STILL ALIVE

    Today in sign language class, my teacher showed us one of your videos. I really liked it, so here I am watching this one.
    You sir, are now my hero.

    You do such a great job of keeping your face schooled to appropriate expressions for each section of song, to help communicate the intent of the words, I love it so much.

    Your first Portal video is awesome. ...I love the "cake is a lie" bit at the end heh. Would be great if you could do Portal 2 "Wish you were gone. " Keep up the enthusiastic expressions :)

  • @hypergirlgx
    @hypergirlgx 13 лет назад +1

    I love ASL ( i am deaf in one ear, i have been told it might get worse so I learned ASL), taking it in college for a minor has made me appreciate translations such as this (exact ASL and English translation equal) . You are amazing, portal the game is amazing and watching this was awesome! (can I mention you are super cute too, and your facial expression is amazing (like expert amazing)!

  • @kcrcarnold
    @kcrcarnold 14 лет назад +1

    I really like that the subtitles translate the signs. I rarely get a look at what sign language comes out as, and it's fascinating to see which clues get dropped between spoken and signed speech.

  • @katelynkryptonite

    It helps with learning ASL grammar, by which I am somewhat baffled.

    @vanessamanalo1765 9 лет назад +1

    I freaking love you and your videos. I have watched you for who knows how long and I've rediscovered you because I was listening to some old music and then I thought: "hey there was a cool ASL video of this song with a cute guy doing it, better look for it." Lmao. You inspire me to take ASL. I have tried multiple times previously, it just requires a lot of practice. I love your videos.

  • @MusicStealsMyHeart
    @MusicStealsMyHeart 14 лет назад

    I lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove your signed songs!!! Thanks for doing it, it's so hard to find decent signed songs online. Also, I've learned a lot of signs from you, and I'm getting better at my signing def in part because of your songs

  • @Hexesandohs
    @Hexesandohs 10 лет назад +22

    I just wanted to say thank you, for everything. You are the reason I decided to take up Sign Language again. Still not as good with it as I used to be but you keep me inspired. So thank you.
    I also have a request for you, you said in another video you pick two new songs a month to learn so I was hoping you'd take a look at 'I Can't Not Love You' by Every Avenue. I'd love to see what you do with it.

    • @CaptainValor
      @CaptainValor  10 лет назад +4

      Wow, Cora! You are very welcome. It always gives me chills to hear that I've inspired folks like yourself. That's one of the primary reasons I do this. ^_^
      Here's how the new songs work: Every month I pick one of the songs, and then the Patreon patrons get to request and vote on the other. If you'd like to submit a request (good one, by the way!), you can support me for as little as $1/month at www.patreon.com/captainvalor

    • @Hexesandohs
      @Hexesandohs 10 лет назад +3

      No problem, it's also nice to see you respond to my comment. Not many people considered famous do.
      As for donating, I wish I could. Sadly every cent I got at the moment is going to college, otherwise I'd be donating to you and my favorite singer Josh Woodward. >< I plan to someday though, I support you both wholeheartedly and hope to see lots more of you.

  • @firefairy777

    Haha I love the raised eyebrow expressions. It really accentuates the signs. Great video!

  • @FatherTime89
    @FatherTime89 15 лет назад

    Thanks for making this, I always wondered what the sign language translation of this song was (and for some reason never any other songs).

  • @cameronmullins
    @cameronmullins 14 лет назад

    Its weird how we hearing people get roped into the awesomeness of sign culture. I know I was hooked when my first girlfriend was able to secretly talk with her mother in front of me >.

  • @timothycarroll3204
    @timothycarroll3204 9 лет назад +1

    I see you've stopped doing song signing, and I respect your reasons, but at the same time I'm sad, because I enjoy seeing you. I'm not deaf and I don't sign, I just enjoy watching because I imagine I learn something from it about how people communicate without using their voices - and also because I think you're a handsome guy. Call me shallow. (I do.)

  • @jettgagnon9524
    @jettgagnon9524 8 лет назад

    You are AMAZING at signing and a HUGE inspiration for me to continue my studies in ASL. It is a beautiful language and I'm glad that there are people like you to help spread that beauty to other people.

    @TisMishyYoochunBish 13 лет назад

    I've been watching just about all of your videos over the last couple of days, and I'm really impressed by your signing capacity. I'm hearing and taking a basic ASL course, so I'm not really advanced at this, but your signs are so easy to follow. I know this was your first song and your material has really advanced, but I love Portal, so I think this is probably one of my favorites.

    I love this for two reasons.
    One, because I patiently waited while my boyfriend finished the game. (Although I was rather intrigued by it.)
    And two, because my boyfriend always makes fun of me when I practice my sign language.
    Alas, we may finally agree on something.
    :P
    Beautiful job.

    "The cake is a lie."
    Sure. The kids at my school in the special program learn simple signs such as "stop" "sit" "I love you" "yes" "no" "thank you" "you're welcome" "calm down" "pay attention" "speak" etc.
