After watching this several times, I noticed: Morphman’s suit isn’t red, it’s actually blue…but he has a weird red wire frame over it. Like…what the hell?
I think that’d be a good inside joke for the channel, but I swear to god, I’m gonna do some not good things if I hear that “I’m an eagle!” Clip again Edit: just watched 24:35, I swear to god…
So what I'm seeing is that Morphman could have scouted the island as the eagle a little longer, seen the Professor through the large open door, flew through the door, and rescued him that way.
@@Galvatron759But he just ended up nuking the entire island anyway. If anything, exploring the castle, looking for "evil stuff" just gave the enemied more time to escape or hide.
@@mver191 exactly, why waste your money on garbage like Metroid Dread when you could spend it on something worthwhile like the Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties remaster
"I'M AN EAGLE!" It's been 36 hours since I've seen this video and I am still dying of laughter at this sentence! It really feels like it is part of the actual game... Except not lol. Great job!
@@SmeddyTooBestChannel he means it’s like one of those horror games where the game is awful but it changes to something creepy it’s like that but it doesn’t change
I really hope they cover more stuff like this. I’ve seen enough videos and articles on popular bad games being reviewed like “Ride to Hell” and “Balan Wonderworld” to last me several millennia.
I got this game ages ago at a bookstore for a dollar in the bargain bin. Never had the patience to get past the cave, but at least you had a save feature after the intro sequence so you didn't have to start from the beginning at death. The box for this game was pretty cool. Has a little pull panel that morphs the character on the cover haha.
Well the company in this case clearly only cared about selling the game and not actually making it worth anything so a fancy box would likely do just that (fortunately for choose-your-own-adventure style gaming it didn't work because the public was smart enough not to fall for such a trivial trick).
I love how Morph Man's voice is Ed Wynn / Mad Hatter. And I'm so glad you pointed out the careless way he morphs into a jet, stuff like that always used to annoy me even as a kid :)
Someone was really proud of their full version of a 3D rendering and morphing software, but forgot to learn how to use it. The screaming soundeffect at: 20:17 should represent a dinosaur an originates from the Sound Ideas 6000 library from 1992
8:40 it's like a lizard shedding it's tail to distract a predator! Wait I think the jet and parachute weren't morphed. It was just a transition on the starting screen. When he's in the jet his right picture was his human form, Indicating that he's not morphed, so he couldn't have remorphed into a jet because he hadn't morphed into one at all.
Ronald McMorphman's voice was absolutely fabulous. I'm sure it was exactly as the gerbil army had always envisioned it. *So, where's this Like button?*
I swear-after the first time watching this, I actually google searched for the VA work for this game because I wanted to know who Morphman was voiced by. It's hilarious, and eerily familiar (I recall some unknown cartoon character had a very similar voice from a cartoon from way back). It took watching the video again and scrolling down into the comments to realize that you guys do the voice work. I must say-stellar job. That voice was so fitting, and one of the features that has me doing repeat watches. Brings me a chuckle every time. Keep up the good work 🐱👍
This makes that crappy Gundam game (the one with the guy who used part of a cereal box as a helmet) look like 10/10 GOTY material. This is like going to a landfill, taking an excavator, digging up the landfill, and find a massive pile of dung buried underneath it.
Exactly, Markus.Or try playing the games on the Action 52 cartridge. The Gundam game is still bad especially coming from Presto Studios, the guys who created the Journeyman series.
I love the fact that adding save states, using text on the buttons instead of symbols and giving the player more time to choose the buttons (like 30 seconds) fixes most of the game's problems
Morphman's final transformation, followed by the beat, climaxing with the final, heavenly call of "I'M AN EEEEAGLE!" to close out the adventure was nothing short of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen from this series.
I'm still wondering why that professor there was running towards the missile/rocket gate thing like some suicidal freak... ...but thinking again, he's been there the whole game
The only conclusion I could take if I suddenly heard this on my head is that I've died and all the good things I did in my life were just a dream and now I'm paying for being a horrible person all my life
Between this, Gundam 0079, and Spider-Man, I think you two are ready to tackle Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, The Town With No Name, and/or Ninja Nanny & Sherrloch Sheltie.
Giving morphman a voice was brilliant!!! I just discovered these videos (batman and Robin was my first)and I absolutely love them, please bring them back
14:56 Commenting on this video a year later to point out something I just noticed: The Cyrillic (the alphabet used by Russian and many other Slavic languages) letters on the side of this machine spell out "Danger High Voltage." That is, they *literally* spell out the *English words* using the Cyrillic alphabet. It's not translated into Russian (or Belorussian or Bulgarian or any language that uses Cyrillic), nor is it transcribed in such a way wherein reading the letters as they are pronounced will result in an approximation of the English pronunciation (something like "deyn-jeyr hie voal-tawj"). It's literally just the English words written using a 1:1 swap of Cyrillic letters for the Latin ones, resulting in utter gibberish. Most galling is that the letter used to substitute the Hs in 'high' *is the wrong one.* They used "Ч" which makes a "ch" sound, like in 'Church.' Honestly I think this was probably some amateur project made by one dude that somehow got published.
All those "rich media" trendy stuff didn't go past s fad. With exceptions such as Myst, the whole FMV thing ended up relegated to a gimmick, for examples.
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo Truth. Myst and Riven were exceptional diamonds in a pile of cruddy gimmick-based games like this one, and even then they had some jank. Though The Journeyman Project was also pretty good from what I heard.
Ah, a real old-school obscure Just Bad game! I haven't laughed so hard at one of these vids in a while... and I REALLY needed that laugh. Thanks, guys.
Wait, if he ejected himself from the jet even though he is the jet, then what is the rest of the jet? It can't be morphman since he's apparently not the jet, but you can tell that he has no more arms or legs in that video, so how did he eject from the jet even though his body was the jet? Even more confusing, he has arms and legs after the video clearly shows him with no arms or legs, in fact, he looked like a gelatinous blob. Actually, I have one question. HOW THE HECK IS MORPHMAN STILL ALIVE EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT BODY PARTS, INCLUDING HIS LEGS, WERE PART OF THE JET? HOW DOES HE EVEN HAVE HIS ENTIRE BODY INTACT? HE'S NOT JELLO, AND HE CANNOT TRANSFORM INTO JELLO, SO HOW THE HELL DOES ONE LOOSE A BODY PART AND GET IT BACK WITHOUT BECOMING SOME KIND OF A GECKO OR STARFISH THAT CAN REGENERATE BODY PARTS. THAT WOULDN'T EVEN FIT THE SCENE BECAUSE BODY PARTS DON'T JUST COME BACK INSTANTLY, IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME FOR MORPHMAN'S LEGS AND OTHER BODY PARTS TO EVEN GROW BACK, SO I ASK AGAIN. HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE?
@@0dayswithoutincident934 I'm very clear that you're being hyperbalistic for comedic effect but I have to say we're talking about time when logic and reason didn't exist in games and you had a ton of these kind of games where they would use like cartoon logic basically. It's funny considering how advanced PC's supposedly were at the time compared to say what consoles were doing but gaming at that time on PC was very hit and miss. This exactly demonstrates what that means.
3:27 what? YOU VOICED THIS? Ok so i started the video at the middle of it and thought DAMN this voice acting might be painful but its still accurate, good job guys
It took me over a year of watching Rerez videos to realise that all the goofy voiceovers are provided by Shaun himself. It's gonna take me a while to adjust to his voice for Morphman
Rerez, can you please release your voice acting recordings for this game (even better a modded version of the game)? My 4yo and I are now quoting this around the house. I just randomly heard “where’s the castle?” Because he saw Ronald McDonald on the thanksgiving parade...
It's like someone tried to make Animorphs based on a rough description that had been through 14 rounds of Chinese Whispers I can't help but kinda love the dedication that's evident in this game. So what if it's bad? They went all in anyway, and I can't help but respect that!
@@Snowthree Well If we actually Moved on on his Logic, Morphman would Just die, If He actually tried to RIP Off His Entire flesh and skins! Hell you should realise, how many more Things you Have to remove from your Body, only to become a skeleton!
I feel like the idea behind this game, of using a molecular analyzer to morph yourself into different animals in order to infiltrate a secure location, has a lot of potential as an FPS.
@@millenniumf1138 Both of those games allow you to possess the bodies of NPCs including animals. (In fact with Messiah, it's the central mechanic/gimmick.) Messiah was a flawed forgotten game that was really hyped up in the 90's. Dishonored is one of those essential games every gamer needs to play. It's one of the best immersive sims next to Deus Ex, Thief, and System Shock and shares some of it's developers.
The 90s was a wild time to be alive, once we got holographic Doritos cards in our bags of Doritos, and there were even advertisements on the television about the holographic Doritos cards in specially marked bags of Doritos... And we loved it, too. Later we did the same thing, us 90s creatures, we made holographic Phantom menace cards in boxes of Pepsi products. Collectively, we all loved holographic things tucked into our food containers.
Whenever I'm feeling down, this is one of the videos I come back to and makes me laugh every single time. That voice acting you added is just pure gold
Wow, this one really takes me back. No, I never heard of it before seeing this video, but this was the kind of weird crap you'd often get when developers got way too ambitious with the new CD-ROM technology back in the Windows 3.1 days of computing. Just before the internet started picking up steam and becoming publicly widespread. Stuff like "Town with No Name" and that terrible Gundam game you reviewed a while back.
Officer: another caped crusader down for the count, eh? What got this one? Coroner: Cause of death - slowly rotated by bats. You can see where he was gently laid down here, next to these flowers he put on himself. Officer: I think I'm gonna be sick.
A good deal of those old CD-ROM games could only play one sound source at a time, so devs back then had to decide if they wanted to put speech over music, and make each cut-scene its own audio track, or just subtitle the speech. Many opted for the latter as something as simple as Redbook audio quality was still extremely novel.
@@jessragan6714 Yeah, but if they did, I wouldn't get to experience the mental image of a polygonous, flaming, ronald mcdonald verbally saying roleplay speak at me. What a horrible thought. Acts scared!
The best thought was at first, I thought Morphman's swearing rage when his parachute failed was just something Rerez added...I was surprised to discover it wasn't. XD
Oh man, you guys are just getting better and better! I thought that it would be impossible to beat the 2 Batman and the Hercules episodes, but this one is another golden one. Spectacular work ppl! :) Thank you for the insane amount of work, love and dedication you put into this
When the professor was being 'rescued' I was just thinking of Scientist quotes from Half Life 🤣 "Big day today freeman..." "My God, what are you doing?" "No, I don't wanna die" "Aaaaaaarggh!"
Funny you say that, because when I was watching this one of the things on my mind was "man, this is something Ross of Ross's Game Dungeon/Freeman's Mind would play".
Morphman might not actually BE the jet in the game. It might be an attempt at a transition to the actual game, but the way it's presented in that intro sequence makes it very unclear. So there is still a likelyhood that he has a "Canard" and disassembles himself a bit when ejecting.
That Morphman voice is so perfect if you told me that was just part of the game I would believe it 100%.
Sounds like Wally Gator, I love it XD
"Ieei'm an EEAAAaaagull!"
That scream was funny as hell!
@@daffers2345 OK
I actually thought it was part of the game on my first watch
Fun fact: You have a 1.5625% chance of getting the “6 lever puzzle” right on your first time. Truly fantastic game design.
we should refer to speedrunners of this game as "the 1.5625%"
The wonders of math and bulls*** game design
Lol seriously??
@@AraiDigital yup. 2 levers, 6 puzzles, 2^6 = 64, and 1/64 = 1.5625% chance to succeed on first attempt
I saw the "Dark" botted verified account copied your conment lol. Glad yours got 400 likes and theirs only got 2
"I am an EEEAAHGOL"

The best four voice lines in history
“Acts scared”
@@johnshea7871 "A dead skeleton thing"
13:15 for when he says the wood is hard Morphman
"Ha! Double-Ha!"
Along with "G@#$$D!!@$F%@#$!"
After watching this several times, I noticed: Morphman’s suit isn’t red, it’s actually blue…but he has a weird red wire frame over it. Like…what the hell?
It’s the glow effects advertised in the box
Nothing about this "game" makes any sense.
devs forgot to disable wireframes
Actually reminded me of those green neon-wireframe bodysuits the band Kraftwerk sometimes wears at concerts.
@@unnam3d__mm
The Morphman voice you've provided here, has given me more enjoyment than the Morphman game has collectively given its entire playerbase.
The game is so bad I legitimately didn't realize it was them until halfway through. I completely believed this was the game.
@@FoxIord same lol.
If that voice was actually in the game, I would likely seek it out to play it just to experience it.
Makes me even more afraid of Clowns...
The voice oddly reminds me of the "Mad Hatter" from Alice In Wonderland.
That "iIi'mM an eEeAgLe!" clip should be a running gag, it's just such great delivery
My name is Lawrence Gordon.
I'm an eagle!
I think that’d be a good inside joke for the channel, but I swear to god, I’m gonna do some not good things if I hear that “I’m an eagle!” Clip again
Edit: just watched 24:35, I swear to god…
Your wish was granted
SO!
WHERE’S THIS CAHSTLE?!
I love me some memes sometimes.
So what I'm seeing is that Morphman could have scouted the island as the eagle a little longer, seen the Professor through the large open door, flew through the door, and rescued him that way.
But destroying the evil stuff was also part of the mission
@@Galvatron759But he just ended up nuking the entire island anyway. If anything, exploring the castle, looking for "evil stuff" just gave the enemied more time to escape or hide.
This voice you gave morphman should be canon. Nothing can top it.
Imagine if this game sent you back to "So, where's this castle?" at the very end.
I would set something on fire.
@@robertstephen8372 normally I wouldn't endorse nor encourage arson, but I would gladly sit back and watch someone set Morphman ablaze
Isn't this where....
I would commit several war crimes
@@camados6941 I think even the Geneva Convention will let this slide.
Man, gamers had no idea how good they had it in 1993. You’d never see developers brave enough to create Morphman today
We remaster and remake games from 1993 because they are still better and more creative than most games coming out today.
@@mver191 exactly, why waste your money on garbage like Metroid Dread when you could spend it on something worthwhile like the Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties remaster
Not brave, but insane.
@@mver191 cough Myst cough
@@ABW941 Still it rquires bravery to be this insane in public
I laughed so hard at the repeat of 'so, where's this castle', I think people around me are worried for my mental health...
Do you mind if I put your last sentence on a shirt?
Thanks for the laugh :)
"I'M AN EAGLE!"
It's been 36 hours since I've seen this video and I am still dying of laughter at this sentence! It really feels like it is part of the actual game... Except not lol. Great job!
It feels like one of those “fake games” in horror games minus all the horror
It's is horror accually ok
So true 😂
what do you mean "minus the horror"

@@zerpent5767 ashens is king
Yeah I guess they are running out of easy targets btw loved that 8 D acronym
They should legit bring Morphman back, put him into either DC or Marvel canon, and give him this personality and voice. 😂
Morphman gives me serious Elongated Man vibes
They'd probably be good friends
The Rerez gang actually predicted; ‘It’s Morbin’ Time,’ the most impressive channel of all time.
And also the most underrated and funniest channel ever
Morbius, nice.
Remember when Morphman said "It's Morphin' Time" and then Morphed all over the place?
Time stamp?

I got this game ages ago at a bookstore for a dollar in the bargain bin. Never had the patience to get past the cave, but at least you had a save feature after the intro sequence so you didn't have to start from the beginning at death. The box for this game was pretty cool. Has a little pull panel that morphs the character on the cover haha.
I so desperately wanted to find that box!
So you're saying more effort went into the box than the game ?
Hahahaha, I bet that box is more entertaining than the game.
So, where's this box?
Well the company in this case clearly only cared about selling the game and not actually making it worth anything so a fancy box would likely do just that (fortunately for choose-your-own-adventure style gaming it didn't work because the public was smart enough not to fall for such a trivial trick).
_"So, where's this castle?"_
_"...and why do I feel like I've said that a million times by now?"_
_"I'm an eagle!"_
I was about to comment and say "wow, their parody voices are especially bad this time", only to find out IT'S NOT A PARODY, THAT'S THE GAME.
@Errickfoxy It's scarier that *you can't tell*. All they said was there had been no voice acting up to that point.
All I want to do, is morph into a tank and blow up this game came from existence.

This really feels like they had a bunch of random models lying around and decided: "Hey! We can make a game !"
A Unity asset flip game like 20-30 years before the Unity game engine was even created. Truly the REVOLUTIONARY TITLE that the devs claimed it to be.
We need all the scenes in this lower-budgeted unrendered CGI movie mess to be AI upscaled.
I need that "I'm an eagle" SFX for my text message ringtone lolol

I'm an eagle.
🤣🤣🤣
Probably never because of Ronald mcdonald bootleg.
It'll run at half the fps
21:28 “This games kinda growing on me” like a bad infection
When he said: “I’m an eagle” I felt that
It only takes one bad game to kill a studio…
Balan company says hello
Rockstar and Bethesda.
All of 2K all of EA.
Something are too big to die
Morphman is the real villain
Didn't happen to the companies we have now. Perhaps you meant a small studio.
Mighty number 9
It took me over a year of watching Rerez videos to realise that all the goofy voiceovers are provided by Shaun himself. It's gonna take me a while to adjust to his voice for Morphman
Shane would make a great voice actor
*Shane
Thanks. Now I walk around saying " I'm an eagle " and laughing like an idiot. You guys are gold.
I feel SO bad for you guys, cause I know you had to sit through this game, multiple times, in real time.
I'm fucking dieing over here laughing at the turret shooting at him as soon as he landed.
Obliterating him into literal red chunks

Grammar Nazi at your service

Rerez, can you please release your voice acting recordings for this game (even better a modded version of the game)? My 4yo and I are now quoting this around the house. I just randomly heard “where’s the castle?” Because he saw Ronald McDonald on the thanksgiving parade...
If someone could modify the game I'd be happy to give all my voice recordings out.
@@rerez Yes please
*So, where are the voice lines?*
The death scream is amazing!
@@pupaepedorra We need someone saying *I'm a programmer!*
@9:17 _...is that the Goomba that shot at me?_
It sure is, ya goober lol
It's like someone tried to make Animorphs based on a rough description that had been through 14 rounds of Chinese Whispers
I can't help but kinda love the dedication that's evident in this game. So what if it's bad? They went all in anyway, and I can't help but respect that!
chinese whispers? do you mean the telephone game?
@@CherryHotSauceyes, don’t ask why it was originally called that i don’t know 😅 (it’s exact same game)
"... Oh, great... He's still alive..."
Comedy gold.
16:08 Why does Morphman need to sample a skeleton? He already has one inside of him.
Why are you trying to apply logic to this game?
@@Snowthree Well If we actually Moved on on his Logic, Morphman would Just die, If He actually tried to RIP Off His Entire flesh and skins!
Hell you should realise, how many more Things you Have to remove from your Body, only to become a skeleton!
@@Serminator30 At the very least you'd have to remove your canard.
@@SnowthreeYes
Does he really, though?
17:19 they misspelled the name of their own game...
There is so much astonished confusion in his voice at 6:25 "What blew up!?" I love it.
Had I played this game, I would have certainly gone insane.
or maybe, a *D E E P V E I N T H R O M B O S I S*
(Thanks Martincitopants!!!!!!!!)
"Stones shall not hurt me"
Dies instantly when a stone is thrown at him.
Stone Cold Steve Austin couldn’t hurt him.
15:50 dead skeleton thing best character
10:51 Morphman thinks he's the noise
Consider that with CD drives at the time, the loading times would probably make the button prompts much more forgiving.
Morphman's most dangerous form is that he turns into a game that irritates you a lot
why isn't this comment viral
"By the way, if you fail here and didn't save before making your decision..."
*"So, where's this castle?"*
"So, where's this castle?"
Rerez: loses his mind
I feel like the idea behind this game, of using a molecular analyzer to morph yourself into different animals in order to infiltrate a secure location, has a lot of potential as an FPS.
Messiah? Dishonored?
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Never played either one.
It is a good idea, just poorly executed.
@@millenniumf1138 Both of those games allow you to possess the bodies of NPCs including animals. (In fact with Messiah, it's the central mechanic/gimmick.)
Messiah was a flawed forgotten game that was really hyped up in the 90's.
Dishonored is one of those essential games every gamer needs to play. It's one of the best immersive sims next to Deus Ex, Thief, and System Shock and shares some of it's developers.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Huh! Okay, then I'll have to try them out and see how I like them. Thanks!
The 90s was a wild time to be alive, once we got holographic Doritos cards in our bags of Doritos, and there were even advertisements on the television about the holographic Doritos cards in specially marked bags of Doritos... And we loved it, too. Later we did the same thing, us 90s creatures, we made holographic Phantom menace cards in boxes of Pepsi products.
Collectively, we all loved holographic things tucked into our food containers.
wah
I remember those cards
Whenever I'm feeling down, this is one of the videos I come back to and makes me laugh every single time. That voice acting you added is just pure gold
10:51 Ayo, it's the Noise scream from Pizza Tower!
Goddammit i hate that i searched for this comment. Take my like
I was waiting the entire episode for an "It's Morphing Time!" reference. Glad that I wasn't disappointed.
Wow, this one really takes me back.
No, I never heard of it before seeing this video, but this was the kind of weird crap you'd often get when developers got way too ambitious with the new CD-ROM technology back in the Windows 3.1 days of computing. Just before the internet started picking up steam and becoming publicly widespread. Stuff like "Town with No Name" and that terrible Gundam game you reviewed a while back.
If this is them being ambitious, I'm scared to see what they do when they're not.
23:07 laugh every time.
True lol
Officer: another caped crusader down for the count, eh? What got this one?
Coroner: Cause of death - slowly rotated by bats. You can see where he was gently laid down here, next to these flowers he put on himself.
Officer: I think I'm gonna be sick.
10:51 One of the funniest screams I've ever heard
"N'DAAUaAuAauaagh!"
The voice cracks really sell these guys' voice for the character. It's so great!
same sound effect used for the noise's scream in pizza tower lmao
Nice getting into obscure games guys! thats why I came to you, so see games that no other reviewers dont, so keep it up
A good deal of those old CD-ROM games could only play one sound source at a time, so devs back then had to decide if they wanted to put speech over music, and make each cut-scene its own audio track, or just subtitle the speech. Many opted for the latter as something as simple as Redbook audio quality was still extremely novel.
I would love to have some morphman voice as the notifications on my phone....get a text: "I'M AN EEEEEEAGLE!"
Make it happen guys! :)
Love when super obscure games are covered, they make for the best episodes IMO.
Holy crap, I actually owned this as a new teen. I didn't think I'd ever see anybody acknowledge this game when it came out let alone 28 years later.
Oh god, I'm so sorry.
My condolences
16:02 What is this a roblox roleplay?!
Morphman kinda sounds like a robot master you’d find in a Mega Man game.
And he dies in his one hit
Not gonna lie, the "Bulls vs Visitors" sign actually did make me chuckle. You gotta admit that's actually kind of clever lol
I mean, yeah lol
IDK why but I think Morphman's weird and passive commentary is probably my favorite thing about this,
Acts Scared!
I get the feeling this was supposed to have voice acting but they just ran out of time and money for it.
@@jessragan6714 Yeah, but if they did, I wouldn't get to experience the mental image of a polygonous, flaming, ronald mcdonald verbally saying roleplay speak at me. What a horrible thought. Acts scared!
The best thought was at first, I thought Morphman's swearing rage when his parachute failed was just something Rerez added...I was surprised to discover it wasn't. XD
I'm an eeAagLle!
6:58 "He WoN't StAY pUUt!!!!!" LOVE that line lmao.
Oh man, you guys are just getting better and better! I thought that it would be impossible to beat the 2 Batman and the Hercules episodes, but this one is another golden one. Spectacular work ppl! :) Thank you for the insane amount of work, love and dedication you put into this
When the professor was being 'rescued' I was just thinking of Scientist quotes from Half Life 🤣
"Big day today freeman..."
"My God, what are you doing?"
"No, I don't wanna die"
"Aaaaaaarggh!"
Look, Gordon, we can use these ropes to-- HELP ME GORDON
Funny you say that, because when I was watching this one of the things on my mind was "man, this is something Ross of Ross's Game Dungeon/Freeman's Mind would play".
STEHP
ACK!!
NOO!
When Morphman mentioned sampling the eagle, I initially assumed that he meant to crawl up the bird's rectum and let it fly him to safety.
Morphman might not actually BE the jet in the game. It might be an attempt at a transition to the actual game, but the way it's presented in that intro sequence makes it very unclear. So there is still a likelyhood that he has a "Canard" and disassembles himself a bit when ejecting.
2:39 wind.
