2:24 - Yea, he means a fact known by relatively few people.
3:45 - By cut out here I think he just means not add in (As in too lazy to code)*
4:10 - Mill workers can sometimes lose limbs in accidents, and he's implying that Aquaman did that. *Aqua*mill because it must have been under water.
5:35 - By sole point I think he's saying its a fundamental feature of the game. It isn't actually the sole point of the game, but he's over exaggerating to make his point.
6:02 - Yup, "Great Scott!" is simply a random expression. Cant tell you why its that particular name though.
7:57 - Taking out their mumbe mumble on a building. I'll try and understand it later. Probably the word anger.
8:10 - 'Getting into your stride': to become familiar with and confident at something you have recently started doing. He is talking about the developers. He was also being sarcastic, because just afterwards he pointed out how another feature they added actually made it worse.
10:05 - Yup, not caring. Cant confirm - rap nonsense.

Okay, I'll attempt to help, though you might want to get a second opinion as well.
2:24 It's the "a fact a few people knows" option, although it of course isn't a fact at all
4:10 I think he's making a joke that Aquaman had lost his arm in a work related accident at the 'aquamill'. Then his union, the 'aquaunion' would replace his hand with a hook and offer him dental or tooth care –> aquadental.
5:35 The sole point of Minecraft, according to him, is to go on forever, or to be limitless.
6:02 I believe it's just a phrase like "Dear Goodness!" or "Heavens!" and originates (maybe) from Back to the Future-movie trilogy. BTW he's using a dirtier word there between Great and Scott.
7:57 "Taking out their anger on a building!" Like... maybe? I think that the group is more like a team of angry teenagers than an siege crew is the general idea of it.
8:10 Yep, he's talking about the developers. I think you got the gist of it.
10:05 Usually "breaking it down" means explaining something thoroughly but on this occasion I believe it's just rap gibberish.

Don't know about 3:45, sorry.

Thank you so much guys for your help !
Really nice to have two opinions , @ClockworkMario I couldn't never have figured out the Back to the future reference because in French it is translate by "Oh my god", whereas for me Scott was actually someone x__x !!
Again thank you very much !

For the record, the phrase "Great Scott!" did not originate from Back to the Future. The original source of the expression is unknown, but it dates back to at least the 1800s.

But yes, most people nowadays know it from Back to the Future, and often it will be used as a reference to the films. Before the films, the expression had kind of fallen out of common usage in the U.S., but as BttF was set primarily in the 1950s, it fit as an expression that someone like Doc Brown might use.

Urban Champion is GLORIOUS.

Sorry I wasn't able to help this time! D: I was busy in school when I received your message and been busy since I got out. I can help with the last one at least!

10:05: Jon's just being random for comedy's sake but by "break it down" he basically means play the music. Drop the base is another English equivalent to this word if that's more recognizable, haha.
Hope that helps a bit xD

Tozesun

Oh I saw your responses too lately @Retro_on_theGo , I'll put something under the video about it >__< !
Well, I hope you could help me this time cause I'm posting this really late during the night in France (internet says it is the afternoon in USA) D:
So I did Dinocity BRO!!! And I'm again calling @NintendoFan64 , @Squashy , @Squid , @Retro_on_theGo , @Dinos24SP or @ClockworkMario !
2:26 "but much to their dismay" , I'm not sure to understand the meaning of this , does that mean "despite the fact they were sad" ?
4:07 "Now there's one thing you got to remember in Dinosity" , well my question is more large than this quote , I just would like to know if he says "Dinosity" because the sound it does is funny ("sity" instead of "city") or is he doing a play on words or something ? Or nothing ? xD
4:16 "the game has a branching past sort of thing going on" , well I don't understand the term of "branching past", does he mean that the doors are connected with each others ? O_o
4:48 "take your time broo wanna hit the bong?" , mmm I guess "hit the bong" doesn't mean to "hit" a bong (musical instrument) , so I suppose it has an other sense like "smoke a lot" ? Something like this but not sure ...
5:00 "ones who are quite ... ?" does he say "flammin" ? anyway I don't understand the word ..and why there's a rainbow flag just after , does it have a "homosexual meaning" ?
6:33 "I-I'll be the better obscure company" when he says that, does he mean that he will act like he is an opponent (obscure company) of IREM and forget the fact he can't get more than 9 lives ? I don't understand this part o_o
8:40 "bouncalicious" can I translate it by "really bouncy" ? , cause you know , the only thing which get into my mind at this moment was Fergie's song "Fergalicious" so I was like "mmm this is not really the same thing.. Gotta ask" xD
8:57 "yeah that just happen" I looked for this word on urban dictionary and found it came from a sentence into a movie said by Will Ferrell and I would like to know if it is related to ? And so means "what a surprise" or ... Well ...

Feel like some of my questions are stupid , as always , but , ahaha , thank you for your help guys !

Hey, thanks @Tozesun, I'm learning a few things too. English isn't my native language either so this is a quite useful thread. Merci!

Check out my super awesome Super Mario Maker levels.

2:26 The phrase basically means "much to their disappointment." They were expecting something very different and ended up getting something much worse.
4:07 He did say Dinocity different here. He spelled it different as well to show that. He pronounced it as Di-nosity instead of DIno-City. I think he's just being random because as far as I know that's not a word and I double checked online to be sure lol.
4:16 He actually says "branching path". It's a video game term used when a game has multiple paths you can take to finish the same level. Usually these paths all lead you to the same spot (the end of the level) but the paths themselves are unique and some have rewards for taking them. Instead of a simple point A to point B level like Super Mario Bros. for the NES.
4:48 A "bong" is a device usually referenced now for smoking tobacco and other items of that sort. (picture if you're curious haha, http://edca.typepad.com/.a/6a011278de342f28a40120a90a40d3970b-pi ) "wanna hit the bong?" Is asking if he wants to take a quick smoke from his bong.
5:00 I believe he meant "flaming" as slang for Flamboyant, which is someone who attracts a lot of attention for being very stylish or outspoken. In America Flamboyance has come to be associated with homosexuality and the rainbow flag has also become commonly used for homosexuality so yes it's most likely a homosexual joke commenting on the monster's appearance.
6:33 He's mocking Irem for not being well known (obscure) by saying he'll be the bigger man (more accepting person) and let the limit of nine lives not bother him.
8:40 Yeah he means Bouncalicious as a play on words of that song "Fergalicious". He was saying how it's fun to name the enemies yourself and he would have named it that, Bouncalicious. He didn't mean the enemy is really bouncy.
8:57 Yeah he says it to express surprise or more accurately disbelief. Like 'WELL… I can't believe that happened." Same as the Will Ferrel line lol.

@Tozesun @Retro_on_theGo This is one of my favorites, naturally, because of my username lol. I didn't realize you still needed help with these - I'll be more than happy to help in the future!

Hey guys I'm back ! Sorry for my absence , I've been busy (found work this year, blablabla) ... So I'm translating Mighty Maxed out today !

I request your help @NintendoFan64 , @Squashy , @Squid , @Retro_on_theGo & @ClockworkMario !

3:13 "No way .. Gear up ...Speed ... Poop on you for all they care" ?? can't understand a thing to what he says xD
3:32 "Who, who, when they were playing super mario bros 3 stop and say themselves.... Make me collect some poop and throw them in the portals" . Here again he's talking way too fast and I would need someone to write out what he says :/
5:22 : "And a child .. on the street who really has to take a tinkle". Yep, I looked for "tinkle" and I'm not sure but here does it means he needs to go to the toilet or he needs a bath ?
6:14 "unless the game suddenly turns in a super contra all you get with ... levels .... ??" . AGAIN (sorry) I can't hear what he says
8:57 "Gold or cash?" Is that right ? or "called our cash" .. Sorry about that one xD

Thank you for your help !

Sure, I can help.
3:13 – "Everybody wants your head on a silver platter. Especially the bats. And they're ready to just (gear up?) and take a high-speed molten poop on you for all they care. They... they don't care all that much, because, y'know, they're bats."
3:32 – "Who, who, when they were playing super mario bros 3 stop and say to themselves: 'Hey, Shigeru [Miyamoto] this is all right and sh*t, but I wish you could just patch up the end of this here level with some dry wall, make me collect some sh*t and throw it into portals'. NO ONE!" ...
5:22 – Child molester, who really needs to go to the toilet.
6:41 – ""unless the game suddenly turns into super contra all you're getting with each new level is a pallet swap."
8:57 – He says "cold, hard cash". It's a saying of sorts. I can't make out what he says before it, though, so I'm not quite sure of the context.
