This topic is for the purpose of discussing #745: GuanoBowl's NES A Boy and His Blob in 03:59.65

Once again i stopped the movie late. Sorry about that, i hit save instead of stop. Haha, what a food i am. Just a couple of different things i did to speed things up for my blob and i.

I love the way you write. You are not a food. That was pretty clever figuring out that you could use a bridge instead of falling down the hole. This run is getting pretty polished. I vote Yes.

I vote no because I know that soon there will be a submission with a time of 3:37.

I don't think you should vote on the merit of another movie that doesn't exist yet, but rather only on the merit of this movie.

I vote yes -- simply because it's an improvement over the last. Who cares about what's coming up next? Let everyone here enjoy this 4:00 run till the next arrival. EDIT: Rather, I would, but voting privaleges don't exist for my account :\

Well, my point is the 3:37 run already exists, and while it hasn't been submitted yet, it still means this movie is worse than what's available.

Vote no. It's not a significant enough improvement of the last one to warrant publication in the time before the improved version gets published. In fact, not only should the author cancel this submission, he probably shouldn't have submitted it in the first place.

How is this not an improvement? I stopped the movie late again and its at least 12 seconds faster. But whatever, you guys are the ones voting...... Official PFFFF Stamp of Approval by me. Im going to get stoned. Peace.

umm... 200 rerecords, and you couldn't use an extra one to stop the movie at the right time? And you stopped it 12 seconds late? At the speeds that you should be playing that's well over a minute. Did you use slowdown? What about frame advance?

Give me a mother[Bisqwit would edit this anyway]ing break. We are going to have several submissions published in a row improving a boring ass game like Donkey Kong by mere frames, and now five seconds of saved time doesn't warrant a new publishing?

What about the first videos of Mega Man 2 that didn't use zipping to its fullest extent? Where do we draw the line here? Why don't you all just stop whining - it's a five second improvement, no matter how many mistakes you find. If anyone doesn't think it's "enough of an improvement", then that person should make their own run and shut the hell up. Rejecting this movie is a ridiculous and ignorant idea.

As for A Boy and His Blob, I recommend authors submitting less of their incomplete tries and more of the best possible movies. > What about the first videos of Mega Man 2 that didn't use > zipping to its fullest extent? Where do we draw the line here? There have been only two published Mega Man 2 videos. When the first one was published (it wasn't even submitted, I took the liberty of importing it myself), nothing was known of the existence of those zipping tricks. > it's a five second improvement More than that, but it has already been beaten. Therefore, I'm now rejecting the submission.

om, nom, nom... blech, stale!
