Link to video Based off of CHiPs starring Erik Estrada. My opinion? Totally random, both the commercial and the show it was based off of.

I've seen plenty of avatars that change themself even when the user they belong to is not online, such as Bisqwit's palette changing Megaman Helmet. I was just wondering on how to do it myself. Thanks... - SD

I'm surprised they're swooning over the animated GIF which demonstrate how to do the tricks instead of the actual TAS'es that show the glitches in real-time. Eh, I'll give 'em a few days. Wonder if they've seen the Megaman ones yet.

Already rather late in the year, but I want to try and get my current TAS of U.N. Squadron done before New Year's 2012. Also it'd be nice to win the rookie of the year award, but that isn't very likely to happen. :P

I agree wholeheartedly with Kitsune up there. It's just one of those secrets that the government is keeping from the rest of the country that rightfully needs and deserves to know. The only reason those online pills aren't FDA-approved by now is because they want people to ride towards the more expensive fork in the road. Believe it or not, the FDA is seeing nearly every single penny you worked hard for to try and cure a relative of cancer, or even yourself. If they were not money-guzzling greedy S.O.B's, the United States would be in much better shape population-wise right now. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 562,875 people died of all type of cancer combined in 2007[1]. If the pace is the same from 1997 (around the time these cancer pills surfaced) to now, there should be a cancer death toll of OVER 7.5 MILLION from '97 - '11. Now, theoretically, since the FDA is a gov't-affiliated company, there would be about 100,000-200,000 employees working for it. Going by that statistic, each and every single greedy person out of said 100K to 200K who works there is responsible for the cancer-induced deaths of at least 39 people. Mind blowing, isn't it? ...and all this because of the apparently wonderful temptation of money. EDIT: Added citation to 2007 death toll.

A few things, though. * Georgexi's published run uses a button code to access "Gamer" difficulty, which is harder than Hard. If you hope to get this published, you should use it as well. * To save time, fully use up your special weapons so there's no refund countdown.
The gamer difficulty is already somewhat laggy in georgexi's run, and he went for maximum kills. How do you think my run will fare lag-wise when I am doing minimum? Theoretically a run with thirty-second clouds of lag happening with five seconds of cooldown time is not going to help anything. Also, thanks for that time-saving advice with the special weapons. I used it in my Air Force Base run; it also helped defeat the boss quicker, so I'm going to re-do level one's boss to accomodate this. This WIP segment has more balls-to-the-wall moments than I originally intended. That having being said, it proves to turn out amazing with minimal lag to boot.

INTP's have great precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. They are good at logic and math and make good philosophers and theoretical scientists. 1% of the total population. INTPs lack follow-through and this can isolate their ideas from practical examination. Their notions become over-intellectualized and too abstract to be of practical benefit. With their sharp critical thinking and analytical abilities, INTPs tend to nit-pick, hair-split, and generally overdo simple issues. Their desire for accuracy and precision exacerbates any error they may perceive in themselves or in others — they are, in other words, highly self-critical. Wanting to be competent and know everything, their standards grow increasingly higher. When fear of failing becomes overly pronounced, INTPs are quick to feel unintelligent, slow, and powerless. If stress continues, the INTP's mind seems to freeze and block out the vital information it has worked so hard to accumulate. Their creative juices stop flowing and they suffer from stage fright, writers block, and a general inhibition of their ingenious thinking and fluent language skills. Preoccupied with performance failure, INTPs become self-consciously distracted in anticipation of their failure. If the stress becomes too overwhelming, the fear of blanking out prevents them from taking risks in areas they desire to succeed in. Attempting to avoid incompetence, they fail to gain the expertise and mastery they so desperately need. Careers This lists represent careers and jobs people of your type tend to enjoy doing.

Played a game of Battletoads blindly, since I've always wanted to play it. Got to level 3 and game over'd at the speedbike part. Find it here.

I am working on a run which kills only bosses just for fun. I'm new to TASVideos and TASing in general, so I figured I'd practice. WIP which completes Level 1 can be found here. Used SNES9X 1.51.

Holy buttered beans, this is a long bump. Well, better to bump this one than make a whole new one ...right? But anyways, I am about to TAS this game, and I wanted to know something. Since there are three endings in the game (one for every 33 levels) I was thinking I could do a TAS for each set of 33 levels. Is this acceptable, or should I just wing it and do all 99 in one TAS?

...There's not really much to say. I've been a long-time fan of TASes (I've got about 10GB of HD Space worth of 'em) and I had this brilliant idea to register to see if I can make a name for myself here with destroying a few games of my own. Hope to have lots of fun here!
