Nach, turn on superseeder please.
We've got .998 distributed copies, and 25 peers with an average of 97.6% done.
Then again, I'm using a lowid.
EDIT: Nevermind, a seed finally crossed the threashold, taking about 20 people along with him. Crisis adverted.

48000, that bonus barrel, couldn't you have jumped from way up high to it instead of waiting on the rope?
101000, the jump with the barrel before the bonus room, the accelerated jump trick does not work?

I'm having some trouble with the Kong fight, the barrel throw timings are different, which is messing up my old strategy.
2-1: New route, I feel like a dummy for not using it before.
2-2: I couldn't find a better one than the one I used so, meh. Neat trick though.
2-3: Shaved a few frames off of this one by using the turn around jump there.
2-4: I tried going up the side instead of climbing the ropes, two timeunits slower. Though it did teach me some more about the walljump which was useful in 2-7, 2-10, and other stages.
2-5: Hexed back in, no change
2-6: Redid the ladybug handling, tried for a while to glitch myself through the ceiling (frame 30348) no dice. :(
2-7: Tried the alternative route up the wall, 199 frames slower.
2-8: Doublechecked to see if I could perform this glitch faster, no dice.
2-9: I like the new route much better. Though it isn't considerably faster, it looks much smoother.
2-10: This looks so cool at normal speed, I wonder if I could split the hammer into 3 or 4? :)
2-11: I think I shaved a few frames off of this.

Steady Hand!
that joke game incase someone here hasnt heard about it yet. level 2's a !@#$% (yes, thats 12345). dont share it with people with weak hearts.
Spoiler:
It's one of those stupid damn games or videos that have you concentrate on the screen and all of the sudden it makes a blood curtling scream and flashes a zombie or something at you. Plus it's on ebaumsworld, so don't go there.

I wasn't referring to that, I was referring to your comment at JXQ.

That was rude, and completely uncalled for. I understand that you two are having a stupid, pointless spat about something. But at least keep it civil. Ye gods.

How mature. Just because someone doesn't find this game interesting doesn't mean that they are automagically unworthy to grace this thread with their opinion.
Though on the other hand it is quite annoying when atro city posts his "I don't find this interesting" schtick in every thread on this game.
You're both being idiots. Stop it. Bad for my health.

I don't think Quicktime has that built in.
Try getting VLC Player (http://www.videolan.org/)
Alternatively you could try getting ffdshow.
Or read the FAQs (link at the top of the page) for more info.

KDR, I can't manipulate luck in this game at all, I haven't figured out an effective way how...
@Hoe, thanks, though I was more referring to the fact that I can't seem to get this movie done, ever. :)

Well, while I'm back here I have things I want to fix in level 2. Mostly stylistically, so not much of a reason not to use a hex editor.
But after level 2 everything that I can hex back is getting hexed back. Aside from the ones that can be improved with that glitch.

Yeah, I suck.
You know. When I started this I was under the illusion that I might get it done sometime in 2006. :)
We all know now that it'll be at least until 2008.
EDIT: Old movie for anyone who missed it.

Went back and fixed 4-9, didn't change luck until 5-6... :/ I wound up losing around 2 seconds there.
Silly thing is, that's the only level with changed luck. All the rest hexed in just fine. Even the Kong fight.
The file goes up to 6-7, but consider 6-5 and 6-6 test routes, 6-6 in particular needs work.
Comment on 6-1 through 6-4:
6-1: Perhaps there's a better way to handle the bullets. Or a quicker place to throw away the floor.
6-2: Ugh, I couldn't cheese this stage, so I had to do it the "normal" way.
6-3: It might be possible to center Mario with the door better.
6-4: There seems to be a wall there... :) Notes on walljumping with wind. It's easier. But to multi jump you need to do the following. From the jump: <A, <, < will line you up for the next jump. From the next jump: <A, <, Hold >. Rince repeat.
Also, on the second jump, and every other jump afterwards it is possible to turnaround jump (as shown), just after the first jump, (<A, <, <) hold >.
File Located Here.
If there's a demand, I can start posting save states.
EDIT: Changed link 3-6-04. It's kinda a shame to throw this all away. But I can always just hex it back.

Oh great, you get yelled at for creating a useless topic, so to apologize you create another useless topic.
How did this strike you as an intelligent thing to do?

Randomness seems to be based on very large blocks of time. Time units seem to be a factor, but they don't seem to be the only factor (but I only have a single piece of evidence for this.) And the randomness is not divided strictly upon the timeunit border. (Completing a level in 191 vs 190 doesn't always change the luck).
I haven't put as much thought into figuring out the randomness system because of that. Most of the time bad luck costs me less than a timeunit so it's not worth the time it takes to manipulate it.
About 4-9. D'oh! >_< I'll fix that.
