Does the gender of someone on the internet whom you will never meet make any sort of difference?
Maybe I'm the only one who tends to think of everyone I see online as sexless avatars.
This signature is much better than its previous version.

yeah, your avatar is not secsy at all
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Anyway, getting back on topic: I watched the 337 run and I must say it was amazing. Great work Vidar! As for the robot AKA and fetofs spoke of, it's the one on the right right before the checkpoint. You slaughter the one on the left and let off a charge shot for the one on the right but it's unclear if you hit it or not. Other than that the run was stunning.
Keep up the good work and take all the time you need. The finished run will be worth it.

This is the stupidest ideal ever.
No, not because I don't think females should be interested in speedrunning: it's stupid to think that gender actually means anything when it comes to running. The correct version of this should be "I think it's awesome that anyone wants to do TASes", leaving the gender part out.

Seconded. I tend to see forum members as only avatars and the words they say, because it goes just beyond gender- you might have a 10 year old playing on his dad's computer, or a 40 year old playing in his mother's basement. It's the TASes they make that matter, not the people behind it.
Gender has nothing to do with TASing. Can we get this thread back on topic please?

Based on how long it took Vidar to come out with Corneria, I'm guessing this might be a very slow topic based on the extended durations between WIPs. I can't wait for WIPs though, Corneria was awesome.
Nothing wrong with that, take all the time you need Vidar.

Hey everyone, been a while since I last posted on my progress.

Ah, I got it as if you slow down the video a little, you'll see 2 hit+2s, which indicate that the left one blew up first, and the right one died to the charge after.
Onto actual news, I had a segment for Meteo to post, but it got messed up and I'm having trouble redoing it. I've also started school and work, so progress well be a [bit] slower than usual, but Meteo shouldn't take more than 2 months.
With that said, I should ask: Do you want a WIP of the finished segment when I actually finish it, or should I just upload what I have by sunday night/monday?
Thanks everyone for the support so far, it means a lot. ^^
Edit: Yeah, I'm a girl. I guess I'm glad that girls are welcomed to TASing, although I'm not surprised since this community is predominantly male. =X

My philosophy is release WIPs when you're done with a level. but with your levels taking average 6 minutes per, maybe it is a good idea to release maybe a WIP per half level (there are nice checkpoints in each level too)
Yes they do. The max amount of bombs you can get is 9 unfortunately, but that should be more than enough.
