I happen to agree with him, and don't see how what he said is in any way "uncivilized". People will talk and talk about accomplishments and such but not work collaboratively, or openly keep secrets ("I can do something to save X frames, but I'm not telling!"). If they want to do that, that is their prerogative - but TASing has historically gone from one-man operations to open, transparent and collaborative work. Those of us seeing it go backwards (usually for nothing more than a feeling of self-importance by the author(s)) tend to cringe with this reversal. I don't agree with the "surprise" piece - as many people won't watch this until it is published, I don't see the point in keeping it away from people who can critique and help, but again that's the decision of the runner. So long as I don't read "We found a new trick and we aren't telling anyone!" BS, and the runner keeps quiet until the run is done, good luck.
Plenty of runs go without expected new WIPs... look at all of mm3's megaman runs... they're good enough to post now but there still isn't anything new. I don't expect anything, and I don't think many others do either (want and expecting are different). If others do, tough crap, learn to have realistic expectations.
I'm not a big Mario fan, but some of the newer glitches look like they'll be fun to see in upcoming runs. Things like the Treasure of the Ocean Cave warp are neat :)
Haha, I usually don't point out spelling errors, but that one has always been one of my pet peeves. (almost as bad as hearing the word "irregardless" which is NOT a word)
Oops, I know that, don't know how that one slipped :(

Sorry for lack of posts from me, I had a broken internet. Now new internet is here and I am back to you.
All the new videos are excellent.
I agree it is better to don't post many WIPs to keep surprise when the submission arrives. But please keep updates with reports (for example «today we beat Dire Docks in 15 seconds».
I'm curious, here is a small test I made of getting to the basement
To the Basement!
Anyway, in the current route, we will be taking the first of these bljs to the basement. I'm quite curious if it would be a little faster to do either WF/CCM after BoB for a route like the 2nd clip.
Doubt it's faster, just throwing my ideas out there.
That ReneBalow guy has good tricks for real.
He should be invited to the team.
This route is interesting <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6QWgvbAjIM" target="_blank">link</a>
Also a random question (no reason) is it possible to enter the cannon outside the castle when there is the grid? I mean when you haven't have the 120 stars.
Sorry for double post but the link does not work.
