I think Big Rigs gets the prize (wasn’t there also a console version? Coulda swore…) but does Action 52 really count? It was clearly uncompleted. Cut it some slack. ;)

The one where SpongeBob and Patrick get into an all-out war from the vantage point of their sandcastles.
Oh, and for me, The Simpsons was my "hey don't watch that" show. Parents said no, ended up watching more of that than anything else.

The capacity for a game to scroll in more than one direction, the move to beginning-to-end gaming rather than strictly playing for high scores, and introducing recognizable characters as protagonists rather than faceless spaceships and shapes (thank you, Pac-Man). Boom.
Some excellent points raised in this thread, though. Good times.

In conclusion: The ethics of self-voting is reliant on the honesty of the voter; ultimately, though, it is not a significant enough issue to be worth tackling.

I vote "yes," as I believe those significant improvements should be especially recognized. It takes a certain mix of both skills and boldness to tackle a pre-existing record, and a great set of traits altogether to actually get the job done, and do it well.

That is awesome! Coders often do not get the credit they deserve; and, perhaps as aforementioned, it is nice to see small dev teams making a splash on the gaming scene. In a way, I see smartphone/other device gaming as a renewal of the old "Wild West" feel of gaming development. Exciting stuff, for sure.

I once read a wonderful introduction to special relativity (IIRC from a book) which was surprisingly easy to understand. It started with the simple assumption that the speed of light in vacuum is the same for all (intertial) observers (which I think is a fair assumption to make because it's a measurement result rather than a mere hypothesis), and from that single assumption it deduced the Lorentz transformations in a logical and easy-to-follow way. It was rather illuminating. (Of course this was many, many years ago, and damned if I remember any of it now.)
If you ever happen to remember what book that was, I'd be interested in knowing.
Ditto.

[ May I just say that, as a lurker poking into the boards, I believe that TAS creators/enthusiasts have among the most intriguing minds/conversations that I have had the privilege of witnessing? ]

My biggest gripe is not having the classic controller as an option.
This.
It is not an enormous bother (and for me may be my only gripe thus far), but I do wish you could just use controller input over silly shaking at portions. Wii motion control = fine/often fun, motion control in a title explicitly produced for its nostalgia value = not fine/not so fun.

I just wanted to join in the general consensus of saying these videos are great, and acknowledging "boy I bet that was a pain to create!" Keep up the good work!
