Since it's a name drop, whether it's good/bad is going to depend entirely on whether people like or don't like AVGN, and not everybody likes him.
(I don't really care, personally, but I can see why people who don't like AVGN would be bothered by it)
I thought it was common knowledge that 99.9% of the site users hate him.
I find it kinda strange that people quit over stuff like this. I mean, I understand why people would quit for something major like the nazi joke on april fools, but this? 0_o
While the run has already been published. I'd like to point out that it should have been rejected for not choosing the hardest difficulty setting, which can be accessed by using a cheat code at the start of the game.
What is with all this seriousness all of a sudden? I thought this entire website existed for fun. Since when have we become so serious and grumpy?
What "issue"? There's no "issue" here. Chill out.
TASVideos is serious business. Now excuse me as I go cry myself to sleep just because they added this category which in no way affects me.
If you're not that far into the game, I think it would be better to get the flashlight for the sake of the viewer ya know?
I'm at the end of the 3rd chapter (again). Strangely enough, after restarting the run the 8th chapter, I've been doing chapter 3/4 repeatedly. I don't think I'll restart now because I'll go insane if I have to redo chapter 2/3 (lots of luck needed).
Sorry.
Since entertainment is not a priority, I'll skip all optional items along with the flashlight and buzz saw, saving ~4 minutes, but making the run dark as crap.
I can't skip the rifle, since I'll run out of bullets for the room without it.
This doesn't feel optimized to me. There are a lot of parts where you wait or backstep to avoid enemies. I wonder if there's a better way to manipulate them or avoid them.
You're welcome to try. Also, the frame count is still messed up.
Nice TAS! Still slightly boring, and it doesn't deserve a Moon, so Meh vote. Definitely publish to Vault though!
By the way, I think you used bold instead of strikethrough for part of your submission text.
And what are all those things Dr. Frankenstein has to run through when he touches the green platform to reach Frankenstein? Bats?
Thanks, fixed.
Also, I think those things are bats, since it fits into the halloween theme.
The recent monopoly discussion reminded me of this TAS I made six years ago. There are faster runs that abuse trading and other stuff, but this one is funny because the CPU goes bankrupt one minute after end of input. The CPU even buys houses and hotels!
I think you should uncancel it so it can at least be in the vault. :)
I remember this submission.
It's nice, but unfortunately it does not satisfy the requirements of Vault. It's not a game, and it doesn't reach the end as fast as possible.
Reaching the end as fast as possible would unfortunately kill off the novelty (is this the right word to use?) of this run.
Oh, lookie there, another Atari game that has an end.
Before I go to bed, I'm going to upload a temp encode, because I like you guys alot. Now don't take that too seriously.
Edit: Btw, what's with the messed up frame count? On BizHawk, it says 10318. But here it says 10324. 0_o
I want to be honest and I hope I don't come across as a greedy bastard with this, but the reason why I held off with submitting this run is because I am interested in the ad revenue that I can make from my uploaded videos (which I put much effort into, after all). And submitting a TAS means that basicly everyone can reupload the TAS on their channel if they wanted, essentially taking away viewers and possibly leaving my video in the shade while the video by one of the encoders may become much more popular.
How much money do you make per certain amount of views anyway? I thought you make very little, or is it different now?
Whilst I fully agree with the idea behind the vault; 'every game has a place here for a TAS of it'...
You do realize you seem to be having a serious discussion about Desert Bus right? No one here wants to to take a step back and just think about that for a second?
Hey, Desert Bus is the best game ever. You know games like Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda, etc? Well, those games are shit compare to Desert Bus. ;)
While the 14% categories are technically obsoleted by the glitched 6% run, they still showcase some interesting strategies. I'd vote Yes for both of them to be published to the Vault.
I thought the vault was for "Fastest times". There's a faster run already, so what's the point in this run?
Edit: I also find this run not entertaining enough for the moon catagory.
Hi. I've stumbled upon this video, and vaguely remembered hearing this music before. I'm not exactly certain if it was from a game, but if so, can anyone please tell me what game was it?
Hi jlun2! The game you are looking for is called Mega Man Network Transmission. Why the heck am I talking to myself?
