I understand the reasons you point out Baxter, if those points outweigh mine, then the teams should instead be formed by those in the same (or closest) time zones. I think knowning the console and genre is very important too. Maybe we can make this more formal in the future.

For future teams, I was thinking picking the team members should be balanced by time zones. If each team consisted of members 4 hours apart, members could be testing and running while other members are at work/school or sleeping. Then they can make the most of the week they have. You get the idea.

And to answer any foreseeable questions. I got Debian branded browsers folded into their respective Mozilla counterparts. I made sure the hierarchy was set up correctly so that a browser won't end up in its technology counterpart. Meaning, this for example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux; en-US) AppleWebKit/527+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/419.3) Arora/0.9.0 Will end up under "Arora", not Safari, not Generic Webkit, not Generic KHTML, and not Generic Gecko. I also tried to group the various Google domains and IPs, as well as other search engines, so they only show up once in the referrer list, instead of dominating the entire thing.

Over Gigabit Ethernet? I haven't really done latency tests, but it's definitely faster at transfer times. The algorithm should also ideally be threaded. I can easily get 10 cores working together on something.

Sorry for the delay, it's been taken care of. Edit: Although despite setting it to 0, the statistics seem to be showing the old values...

I would like to, although I don't know how exactly Bisqwit used to generate them.

If I set it to zero what happens exactly? Does it get listed in least rerecords per second?

It is? I must've not played this game in a while. I remember there being an energy tank there.

I don't know how you're programming it, but I would probably employ a recursive algorithm that marks each location it has been in already, and knows not to retry them, unless a block has been moved/will be moved, this could lessen the memory requirements. If a lot of RAM is needed, perhaps you can create a distributed program? Between my PCs, I can probably muster up 15GB or so if the running time isn't too long and it was distributed. Also, nice going with Kwirk, I did think to myself some of the levels in the published run were using suboptimal solutions.

I have a question regarding the route. Has the difference in time been tested between getting the energy tank outside the speed booster room and getting the energy tank by Ridley? I realize getting the energy tank by Ridley means you can shinespark through the next room, but it does mean time wasted just waiting until the doors can be opened, and going into the next room, and then scaling the wall, instead of just shooting and jumping up by the speed booster.

Now that I have published this movie, you have indeed lost your expert player rank. It has been a pleasure crushing your hopes and dreams.

Then get to work on another amazing video. If you need suggestions I can supply a couple of games I'd like to see you do.

Regarding this run: I enjoyed it very much, it was great to see each room so carefully optimized. I was entertained at how many tricky situations were entered, but Samus left each one without a scratch. It's nice to see running around enemies and their projectiles Gradius style. Phantoon and Kraid were excellent, never have I imagined such a quick an accurate fight. It was also a pleasure to see exact ammo used. Also great to see some shinespark leftovers killing the gold pirates. I also enjoyed the new route, which very cleverly avoids having to repeat areas. I think I saw less repeats of any given room in this run than any other. Nice to see Gravity prior to Varia as well. Also, we don't need no stinkin` space jump or high jumps. It was also nice to see a run take advantage of charge bombs, and charge power bombs. As well as other nice techniques to do things like avoid damage. Also nice choice charging to the right instead of to the left in the last shinespark, not something I anticipated. I don't think a yes vote does this run justice. I would've also enjoyed more antics that paid attention to what was going on in the background, instead of just hopping and wobbling. See JXQ's run for some ideas, like how he made Samus feaking out about Mother Brain's saliva, or rolling out of the way of the big head drop. Also, I missed Crocomire dancing, where's the fun? ;)

What is manly about it exactly? I'd say quite the opposite, it's one of the most womanly movies on the site, given the woman was half German half Russian cleaning lady on steroids.

The point of TASing both Red and Blue is to show they can both be beaten with the same input. It would be an exciting encode to watch, two games side by side being beaten with the same input, despite not being the same game! We wouldn't even need to add TAS features to VBA-L.

Ignore the top part of the page, use the form where it says username and password.
