This was terminally boring to watch and apparently has negligible technical merit. No deal!

I went out and took some photos. Those were the best of the batch, but really don't do the colour justice - it's much darker in person. If you took photos, feel free to share.

This encode has my stamp of approval. It was completely impossible for me to follow anything that was going on in this run. Normally I view this as a good thing, but when the game in question has a passing resemblance to Mario Party - a genre I don't consider to be particularly entertaining unless one is playing it oneself - I can't see any redeeming entertainment value. I'm further not sold on the idea of luck manipulation primarily consisting of dice rolls being considered a significant technical feat. I vote no.

Try again. I believe I've just fixed the problem at hand. You may need to refresh the script (http://tasvideos.org/css/_merged.js) before the change becomes visible.

Although this run doesn't use save game corruption, it's still fairly heavily glitched - notably, getting to the hall of fame seems to use a trick fairly similar in nature to what's ultimately used in the Yellow run. While I can appreciate the desire of a run to reach the end of the game as quickly as possible, do we really need three runs of the various versions of the first generation, each demonstrating various glitches to get to the end of the game? Granted, this run is significantly longer and demonstrates quite a few other glitches at this point, but I think we should think very carefully as to how far we should go in this respect.

<DarkKobold> what would the goal of a MMORPG TAS be? Lose your job and wife due to addiction in the shortest time possible?

mmarks, were you able to rip the run properly? If so, what codec did you use? As I mentioned in the post, as this is an SGB run, the borders would need to be present in an encode. p4wn3r's temporary encode does not have a border, logo, or subtitles.

The "watch now" links continue to appear fine here in Firefox. Are there any JavaScript errors reported on your part?

There have been reports that this run doesn't rip properly if the SGB border is used (which it should be). I'm looking into this, but the problem may, oddly, lie with the use of CamStudio as a video output codec. In any case, I now have a working raw video dump (with the border), so I may do the encodes myself if necessary.

For those of you enjoying our direct streaming buttons to stream movies from archive.org, we have good news - streaming from there now makes use of JWPlayer, which should load and play movies faster than the previous use of Flowplayer. Embedding movies on the forum using the video tag now also employs JWPlayer.
