I found the SDA speedrun of this game to be very very entertaining.

We climb just as many screens as he did, the difference is that when he reaches the point where you can move around he immediately starts bombjumping the whole 3 screens of distance that is left, while we on the other hand walljump up a wall located about 110-115 pixels to the left of the elevator trigger for over 2 screens.
Ok, I must have misremembered how long he ibjed. I thought he went for like 10 screens, but I was mistaken

1. Yes, No 2. X-ray scope is used to pass through solid blocks. As soon as the blocks are cleared, bomb jumping is used.
1. Ok 2. Actually, in the published movie he did not bomb jump for nearly as long as your movie. However, he has a different X position from your movie. Are there substantially more solid blocks in the way at that X position than the one you took using the CF?

Two major questions: 1. Don't I remember Kej saying somewhere that the room needed to activate the glitch is shown in the opening credit/screen roll so the extra save isn't needed? Is this faster? 2. Would it be faster to simply bomb jump your way up through the empty void of 15 screens? Or is X-Ray climbing actually faster?

If you type tskill process_name then it will close it instantly.
taskkill has flags for force process closed, rather than gracefully force closed (SIGKILL vs SIGTERM) it's /f Just taskkill /f ProcessID

Not enough room to charge a shinespark in his lair. And you can't save one long enough to use it, he has a long intro.

It requires too much manual interaction. I'd rather not have to download 15 files to play a movie. The split .mkv idea is ok, because then I can download them while I'm playing them. But if I need to manually download everything before I can play anything, that would make me a sad panda.

Damn it, 113MB is more than mediafire allows per file. Had to make a lower quality file, which is why it took so long. Also sound desyncs slightly after the reset... I forgot this game did that. Nothing major. Latest progress, 18 minutes, 43MB
use megaupload.
Or compress (read: store) it using a format that can split the resulting archive into multiple parts. WinRAR can do this, and probably many others. If you're worried about forcing people to get a decompression tool, just make it a self-extracting archive.
No, please, don't do that.

You may have to grab a pack of case screws from the dollar store.

but cant you fight lavos at most times throughout the game?
You can fight Lavos as soon as you reach the End of Time. However you need the Green Dream which is acquired by completing Lucca's Mom's Sidestory to use the glitch apparently.

Yeah, but that makes it seem far better than it actually is. :(

How about everyone who has a profile can recommend a movie or $number. And the movies with the most recommendations gets the spots on the recommended movie list?

Jeez, enough with the elitism already. He didn't know, alright? Not liking this attitude.
I don't think that it was the question that annoyed ComicalFlop, it was the insinuation that he hadn't already thought of and tried something that obvious, insulting his intelligence.

Completed Bomber's Notebook?
Every entry in the bomber's notebook gives you a mask or a heart piece or is a prereq to another entry that gives you a mask or a heart piece. So that set implies a completed bomber's notebook.
Does Link not picking up the key to the Stock Pot Inn which Gorgon who has the same name as the player, get entered (under Anju I believe) into the log book? The only reward for that is 100 rupees IIRC, and has no effect on the rest of the Marriage quest. Can not recall any others though.
No, it doesn't.

If you can beat the game by glitching into tourian and glitching past the mother brain I'd really like to see it, I'm sure others would too. There's speedruns for Zelda 2 and link to the past where they use 2-directions at once to go almost straight to the end. This sounds at least as good as that, The going through walls glitch seems to have a lot more merit and thoughtfulness than pressing 2-directions at the same time that you can't do with a normal controller.
You can, Kejardon had a .smv somewhere that showed off pretty much exactly that.
