You don't give birth to yourself, your mother does. Killing yourself implies that you have already been born, doesn't it.

why exactly can't a super missile go through a gate if it's on the left side as easily as if it was on the right side? is there something special about hitboxes or something?
It can. It's just that there are no right-sided gates in the game that have enough runway before them.

I realize this is pretty nonspecific, but what things do you find funny? For example..TV shows, websites, stuff like that.
Aside from normal humor, I find some things funny that most people don't find funny, and vice versa. It's quite hard to specify. I like amusing things, irony, etc. I don't like most jokes that put someone/a group into weird light, such as blonde/negro jokes or Chuck Norris jokes. As an exception, I do like some lightbulb jokes, such as this one about lojbanists: Q: How many Lojbanists does it take to change a broken light bulb? A: Two: one to decide what to change it into, and one to figure out what kind of bulb emits broken light.
I guess a lot of TASVideos members are like that, including me.

Sorry, I don't speak Chinese.
I see. Our favorite joke is to take lame "jokes" and make them lamer. It's some kind of fad. As if I didn't know that already. :|
I think a lot of people who have read this will appreciate not only this video, but especially many of the comments on it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Zc1Js9P3urw
Excellent post, snorlax! I especially enjoyed the first 20 lines. Please continue to post like that.

Still, if you were going for lowest completion time, you could have done without the sidequests/best endings. Otherwise, you should find what are the exact prerequisites for the best ending, and ignore everything else (but to be honest, running as small Blue is so much faster and more entertaining). Also, if you take damage where you didn't plan to, you must load a state and redo it. Otherwise, the movie would be rejected in no time due to inconsistency and/or sloppiness, had you submitted it. If using small Blue wherever possible, I'd estimate a publishable quality any% TAS (with whatever bad ending) to end at around 10-11 minutes tops.

It definitely can't have anything to do with stylistic choices used in this run compared to the previous. …Oh wait.

Wow, you really can't use search function, huh. >_> http://tasvideos.org/forum/t/1711 Also, Axelay 100% kills is impossible due to exceptionally wide horizontal panning. Not to mention that it will generally be boring due to how slow and easy the game is.

Ok, what the hell. This is really why we need a glitchless version, I guess. And yes vote for utter brokenness!

It's likely implementable for low%, since with my current route I'll be pretty much maxed out by that moment. Good call.

I never agreed with the three-movies-per-game limit, but it doesn't automatically mean every game has to have more movies now. It's not enriching the site's content when a game that has one boring movie instead has several, or a game that has one movie gets another that is 90% identical to the previous.

If one person has been banned, this is unjust to the everyone else who hasn't. I say we either ban everyone, or no-one.

Hmm, this is odd. It should be a speedrun, yet you remained normal size for about 80% of the time, while small Blue is like 1.5 times faster and jumps much higher. You don't need to kill many enemies or collect much stuff on your way, anyway, since most items are completely useless for a TAS, except those increasing speed. Also, why did you take damage in some boss fights?

Well, then the widescreen portions will have to be letterboxed, as they were originally supposed to.

448x336 isn't very widescreen, though. 512x288, on the other hand, might be a good choice (unless there are 4:3 sequences in the game).

Probably because I got that idea a month or two after releasing that WIP? (Have you ever considered that?) It's a year old already.

And since my time in that room was only achievable by using this complex, very subpixel optimized mockballs, it would be very unlikely he could manage to execute them correctly on his own, and therefore failing to match that time. I just didn't want him to get stuck in this room with a unsatisfied feeling to not be able to match my time.
Indeed, optimizing three mockballs after managing a Torizo skip would just break my will and make me hate the game for life. (I want to smoke this stuff too, sounds like some inane hallucinations are a given.)

But what good is surround sound? I'm sure you're aware that most consoles output in stereo, at best, so...?
Who cares? There are autopanning filters for audio, too.

AngerFist is on his way to the 35-game multirun. Meanwhile, we can do what many major publishers do with 2D games: upscale + filter!
