For some weird reason I was under the notion that you would need several quarters of an hour to beat this. Nice for doing it well below even one.

<turska> Nach: I've never heard of it. <Nach> turska: the secret exit? <turska> Yes. <Nach> in one of the houses you can go down into a room with a large statue and a tub of acid <Nach> in that room, in the ceiling there's a secret exit <Tub> That's funny. In my house, there's a large statue and a nach of acid. <Tub> (right next to the large statue of nach, of course) * scrimpy totally doesn't sleep with a Nach-love pillow

Part of what makes MMX2 runs so exciting is how the upgrades are put towards terrific use. Without them, the run is a lot more bland.

When you say "In the most of this run, I keep the best of the previous run." do you mean you edited the previous run making your own changes? Or do you mean that you match the speed in most cases? Do you mean something else? Is anything you did slower than the previous?

I'm going to be judging this, please please provide your feedback. Now that natt has graciously provided an encode on YouTube, it should be much easier for most viewers to now watch this.

I'm sorry for the problems we were experiencing over the past week. They all seem to be fixed, and we're running rather well now, and even got some new movies published today!

Well joke all you want, I plan to take the site down for some maintenance later today. But not for more than a couple of minutes, hopefully.

A truly impressive play around may be quite interesting. Also consider interesting takes on the game. Small only was a novel idea and worked rather well.

I'm considering judging this, although judging fighting games is hard. Did you guys find the game a bit repetitive? Or was it entertaining and interesting throughout?

You just managed to post 3 times in a row without any errors when you couldn't access the site at all earlier, what do you think?

Believing that God is all powerful, he can create the entire world with all the people and items in it as it is now in a moment.
I don't think you understand the consequences of that idea. Basically it means that God is deliberately tricking us into disbelieving the creation story by making the world look like it contradicts it.
No, the statement means God is all powerful and could do whatever he wants in an instant. As for what people believe, they have free will. You're free to make a mistake and learn from it. You're also free to make a mistake and continue with the mistake. You could call it deceitful that whenever a person makes a statue and bows down to it and says it created the world, that a large foot doesn't come down from the heavens and squash that person like a bug. To illustrate the point better from the Bible, see the story of the Exodus. In 12:12, For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD. Okay, so all the statues of the Egyptians will will be destroyed along with the firstborn right? Then in chapter 14: And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before the exit to freedom, between the tower and the sea, in front of lord-of-the-north, over against it shall ye encamp by the sea. And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel: They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get Me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.' And they did so. So lord of the north is left standing, the Israelites are seemingly trapped before it, and Pharaoh sees that and runs after them and drowns in the sea. Where did Pharaoh go wrong? Why couldn't he believe that lord of the north had superior power?

Tricking someone into believing a falsity is deceitful and the same thing as lying to them.
You have free will to draw the wrong conclusions. Who told you carbon 14 dating or similar technology is correct? Maybe it has exponential rates of inaccuracy the farther back you go. If it's an exact science why can't they tell you the age of the universe down to a nanosecond? Further, never confuse what you see with what is. Going to a magic show should make that point clear. You want to say the world appears to be 60 trillion bazillion years old, fine. But don't say it definitely is that age.

Is God a deceiving liar? I thought Satan is the one who is attributed those properties.
I don't belong to a club that believes in deifying satan, sorry. If everything was completely obvious, and you only had one decision to make all the time, there would be no point in rewarding or punishing someone for their actions.
Warp wrote:
Maybe the entire universe spins around the earth in the opposite direction?
Which would mean that stars would be moving way faster than c, and kept in their orbits around the Earth by an unknown force.
However it is, we really don't know. The math exists to show either one as possible. One may be more probable than the other, but that's not the point.

Are you seriously advocating a geocentric view of the universe?
I advocate not jumping to any conclusions just because it is popular to do so. The mathematics show either method is a possibility, and quite frankly, I don't really care which is the absolute truth of the matter.
I could not have constructed a more self-indicting phrase for you if I had tried.
Are you saying that you do care, and that it actually matters to you? See the 3rd paragraph here.
As a physicist, I'd unhesitantly say hell yes, it does matter to me and I do care. I'd be a shitty physicist if I had responded with, "LOL, I guess evidence is inconclusive."
Well in that case, your star problem can be countered with the distant stars also being contained within a synchronized rotational sphere, which would solve why you don't see light shifting. Before you think such an idea is farfetched to imagine, I might add that ~700 years ago before anyone even heard of Galileo, someone wrote a "book of science" which proposed just that. In fact mentioning how the universe has 4 spheres one encasing the other, each of them rotating according to a set system.
