Also, PSX ISOs are like 4GBs, if you download the wrong one now it's 8 GB. I can only download 50 GB/month, I can't be wasting capacity like that just to watch a TAS.
There are projects like Redump.org that attempt to catalog data about games on optical media in a way similar to or even better than Cowering's GoodTools. Maybe we should encourage authors to verify their dumps against those databases. EDIT: Enough with the Contra example, already. Encodes are now available ;).

Nice story, but it seems more a failure of computers than scientists, unless it's referring to the computer scientists.

Vykan12: So you want something along the lines of a Cho Aniki TAS?

"Spiritual successor" to Desert Bus that doesn't even break 100 hours? Surely you can do better. Voting no due to misrepresentation of product.

Does anybody know what the first joke TAS was?
We'll never know. Too many records have been lost since A.D. 1785. EDIT: BTW, does this have enough testosterone for you, Vykan12?

If you learned something about curiosity from this, it won't have been a complete waste.

Voting meh. It looks like an OK platformer, and the music isn't bad. The run doesn't stand out as amazing to me, but I haven't played the game. Seriously, though, is that the only use of books they could come up with? Also, are those 12 princesses in the other 24 minutes? I didn't see them anywhere except the ending.

I hate it when you order something that claims "Next-day Shipping" and then it comes two days after it was shipped. :\
It says next-day shipping, not next-day arrival. That means they put it in the mail on the next day.

I have received an offer for a video in Gaming, so it does not appear like the category is excluded.

Problem is, Punch-Out keeps desynching for me, so I can't get any good screenshot (same goes for Track & Field).
I can get them if someone has suggestions based on the encodes.

Fastest. I would use the situation as a way to press for any known but unimplemented improvements to the emulator, though.

I agree with Dwedit
<offtopic>In light of recent events, however, I might have some fun by putting up an encode of the longer movie on YT, waiting for someone to submit a version with replicated input, and then submitting the shorter version just before that other submission got published (:P). To be fair, I would include some vague mention of possible improvements so that any potential thief may have the opportunity to arrive at the shorter version himself.</offtopic>

Based on a highly reputable source, it appears that the average body temperature of a hedgehog is around 35 °C, whereas that of a human is around 37 °C. Furthermore, the former can decrease when hedgehogs hibernate. Thus, there is no contest about which mascot is cooler. Sonic ftw.

X2poet: Did you have any special settings enabled in the emulator? I get a desynch while fighting the helicopters in level 5.

How much time do you estimate could be saved using the Roll-Lift glitch on earlier bombs? Answered on IRC
<Tompala> Possibly 2 seconds
I'll wait for the full description to vote, but the movie itself looks great.

They check if you own an illegal TV set. In most European countries, you have to have a TV permit to legally own a TV set, which costs a certain amount each year.
What's the reasoning behind requiring TV permits? Do you need a permit to listen to the radio and access the Internet, too? With just that information, it sounds like a massive set-up for widespread censorship.

The only good I can see coming of it is maybe forcing some kids (probably from poor families?) to get exercise instead of sitting in front of the TV all day.

Wow, do you really have to wait 6 months to see a dentist in Finland? And what's a TV license inspector?
