Well done, but I found it quite boring.

I suggest calling the old one "obsoleted", and just keep a link to it. Doesn't the site already keep the movies for all obsolete runs anyways?

Ohh, finally an Earthbound run of proper length! I'll try to watch it later, but an improvement of over two hours seems pretty crazy!

Yeah, shouldn't be said anywhere that it is a minus world run on the FDS version?

Reminds me of that anecdote where NASA spent thousands developing pens that worked in zero gravity, only to realize the Russians used pencils.
That's only partially true. The spending for those zero-gravity pens came from a single employee that was obsessed with the idea, and after spending so much, he sold 5 of those pens to NASA for I think it was 50$. Also, both NASA and Russians used pencils until then, but pencils had to be used with special care because if the tip breaks at zero gravity you get a mess.

The problem is that the numbers don't mean too much without a reference, and I've special troubles rating technical aspects, too. Many months ago, I thought it would work to have something like the pain scale. You have a favorite TAS, a less favorite TAS and a somewhat-in-the-middle one, and the voting system would present you with three random movies from the list of ones you have watched, and ask if the one in the workbench is better/worse than them, adjusting their values accordingly. I didn't suggest the system before as it seems a lot of work to implement, and might be as flawed as the others, but I leave it there now just in case it inspires someone to come with a better system.

Well, I'm sorry if I was rude, but I just discovered something new to do with my sig and it was too cool to let it pass. :-)

The PC game of the jungle book can be beaten in real time in less than a minute (it takes more time to introduce the copy protection than to win the game). I think it's the worst game I've ever played and even though I gave it away to several friends, every one of them returned it to me because they didn't want to keep it.

My favorite level design is something I realized playing Ninja Gaiden. In Ninja Gaiden, the game is very hard and unforgiving. However, there's a moment in the story in which Ryu Hayabusa swears revenge and goes rampage against the evildoer that kidnaps the girl/makes him fight against his father. At that point, the game follows for a moment a very simple design pattern that allows the player to easily kill any enemy that comes near him, while on the background plays a catchy tune that puts you on the mood of kicking the butts of the monsters the ninja way! There are few things more satisfying that allowing me to be a killing machine for a moment, right after a very dramatic scene, and that's why Ninja Gaiden rocks.

Guantanamo Bay is no worse than the other two hundred prisons in the small Cuba, but unlike those, it's controlled by the united states instead of the cuban regime. That's why it has so bad press. Of course, Guantanamo Bay is really bad but, frankly, when the main reason given to close it is "so that the Cuban regime cannot say that the americans also treat badly their prisoners", and they remain silent to the conditions of ALL the other prisons in Cuba (and the many suspicious detentions), it shows how selectively blind has become half of the world population. I guess it's because the news sources that make people worry about Guantanamo never say anything about the life on that country. Oh, and I think Obama will indeed close it, but probably his party will open another in another place, except that now their news sources will not rant about it so that no one cares.

Yeah, maybe this movie should be redone so that the input is not as fast in the bonus round. It's a bit unnecesary in this kind of run, and it would be more watchable. : /

This run proves that an hilarious run can come from the most unexpected games. Loved the faces from the Hall Family and hoped you had more time on the last phase to read the questions. Yai!

I think that having a bug that only works in the japanese version is reason enough to do the run in that version (if that bug saves time, that is). The rule of using the USA version stands for those cases in which the rom change has minimal impact on the gameplay (other than a shorter display of text).

The movie starts as the worst game ever! Fortunately, as the movie progresses it looks much better, and even starts to look like it would be really difficult to beat. At the end, I enjoyed it.

Post subject: IGN's "Top 100 games of all time" for 2008 is awful

I was searching the web for reviews about good old "Day of the Tentacle" and found an entry about it in an old "Top 100 games ever" list on IGN. I then was curious about which games would be there on the most current list, and I got totally crushed after I saw it. Seriously, that list is the suckiest I've ever read. It seems to have been composed by a bunch of retards children that think the only games that have ever existed has either Zelda, Mario, Castlevania, GTA, Metroid in the title, or is the most recent EA Sports game. Games like Paper Mario make the list while Tetris is absent (or Sonic, heh), Japanese-Rpg games are overrepresented and even in that case there are glaring omissions like Chrono Trigger. This list is the male counterpart to these girls that think the best singers are the Spice Girls!! They don't even have the excuse that they just don't know better, as they purposely ignore titles chosen in their past lists with more brain and less fanboyism. I'm so disgusted with it, the best they could have gathered in a year, that I just had to write here that IGN (which I barely knew before) has just become a zero to the left as a game reference for me, and I wouldn't suggest anyone working in the game industry to listen to what those people consider it's good, because I don't want to see Mario's face painted over every sprite of every game in existence. I just had to rant over a bit. I feel better now. :)

Despite the author trying hard to make the video funny, the auto-scrolling parts that plague this game make it quite boring to watch, and the palette is awful.

I think no-warps on the previous run was a mistake, so I vote for using the umbrella and letters wherever it is faster.

The question about the ending is a good one; I haven't actually gone through them all to find out...anyone know?
In the amiga version, the lemmings all stand and clap while making an ovation at the end. And I also would love to see those extra levels. The game doesn't seem finished right now, even though you reach your original goal.

Lemmings has also christmas songs in several levels (the hellish ones, heh), so it's a very appropiate game for these days of the year. : D

Even as a big fan of the Lemmings since I was 6, I feared this run would be unwatchable due to sheer length. Now, not only I found that my fears were not true, I also found the precission and tactics incredibly fun!! Congrats for the titanic masterpiece you've done.
