Zurreco, Sounds like you're describing a Fabian here? I don't get it.

xebra, yeah I know that kind of sucks. It'd be wicked cool to be Samuel L Jackson, if only in a game.

Speaking of snakes, did anyone catch the trailer for that Snakes on a Plane movie with Samuel L Jackson? Man does that sound like it's going to be awesome or what!

Atma, Bisqwit, It seems you might need to reread this topic to fully grasp its content. Thanks.

pirate and Bisqwit (and others), Please respond with your thoughts about the correct word for "person who makes Fabians", thanks.

Everyone, We were just talking a bit in the #nesvideos channel, and the following question came up: If you're a person who makes Fabians, what are you called? A Faber or a Fabber? Please respond with your thoughts, thanks. I'm leaning towards Faber at the moment but I could easily be convinced to go the other way.

I think it's perfectly fine to have some discussion about NATE in here, but let's try not to hijack this thread, let's keep discussion focused on the new hip name for "TASes" from now on everybody, thanks.

I just read your previous post Zurreco and the thought of someone pronouncing TAS T-A-S (three syllables) makes me giggle.

I'd like to rename them to Fabians if that's ok with everyone? Edit: Please note, not in caps or anything like that. That just looks stupid.

Nothing interesting really. I'm almost done with Donut Plains 2 for the second time. I'm working like twice a week if I'm lucky, so it's not going too well.

please remember that most people never owned most of those consoles, and never played most of those games (me, for instance). so, please refrain from suggesting games that must have been played to follow/appreciate, as the dragon warriors series for example. I like the sonic runs, very fast paced, sonic advance 2 is the most impressive, what "inhuman" really means to me. zelda 1 is a must (insane fighting and shortcuts). bisqwit's megaman 1 run, to show what the word "glitch" can stand for. I might recommand dkc1 and smw2 too, lots of tricks. let me ask a question though. what should be the difference between the starred movies and the "top" movies ? since my "top" choices are often already starred, I'd suppose it'd be true as well for other people.
The starred movies are starred because they're considered to be a good introductionary (introductary? introductatory? introductive?) watch for people visiting the site for the first time. No one really knows what this means exactly, as evidenced by the frequent debating about how a particular starred run doesn't deserve a star, and vice versa. I think some things Bisqwit looks for (anyone can feel free to correct me or offer your own guesses/views/ideas here) is how impressive the run looks, how difficult the run's been to make, how "impossible" the tricks used in the run would look to a new user who doesn't know anything about tases, how popular the game is, and I'm sure other things as well. These qualities often means a run that everyone (almost everyone) will appreciate, which of course is why many favourite runs are in fact starred. If you look through the lists in this thread, you'd find a few runs mentioned by many which are not starred, although they're widely considered to be among the best runs there are.

I'm not going to link. I consider this too much work. In no particular order: Sonic 3 & Knuckles by SprintGod Sonic 1 by JXQ Sonic 2 by Quiteuesuestt (not necessarily spelled correctly, sorry) Super Metroid 100% by JXQ Mario 64 16 exits by Spezzafer (soon to be replaced with the 120 exit by FODA) Super Mario World 11 exits by flagitious and VIPer7 (soon to be replaced) Super Demo World 120 exits by yours truly and JXQ And for good measure, my favourite console speedrun: Mario 64 70 exits by LeCoureur

For what it's worth, I'll put in my opinion that this run is a very star-deserving run, if not one of the most deserving.
I could have written this post word for word.

If you could expand a bit on your thoughts about this movie and its non-star worthiness, I'm sure more people than me would appreciate it.
To expand on thoughts, first I would have to think about it. I haven't thought about it. So the candidate question is: Whether Terimakasih's 46:37 movie should donate its star to this movie? In favor: More tricks, better encoding Against: Longer length Neutral: Both are beautiful I'm 70% in favor.
I was under the impression that stars were generally given out when the movie was published, and were not added later on. I see I was wrong and I apologize. Thanks for responding.

I would be interested in hearing Bisqwit's thoughts on why this did not get a star.

For what it's worth I've had some problems with this avi too. I use VLC and haven't had problems with other movies encoded this way.

I predict the end of time is closer than an improvement run. Of course I've been wrong before.

Graveworm is correct, it's 15 exits. He's also correct that the reason JXQ doesn't fly is because of the lava slope. It's so high that without the screen scrolled up, Mario can't pass it no matter what. There's a limit how high above the screen he can fly. In the 120 exit, we were able to skip the skull raft. I don't know if you've watched that run, in case you haven't I won't spoil it even more.

It's a fair point. If you're not into a game, after having seen five different runs of it, you won't be very entertained. That's why the voting question should ask for an objective assessement of the quality of the run (examples: "was this movie better than the existing published run?"; "does this movie deserve to be published?"), and not a subjective (example: "did you enjoy watching this movie?"). Of course, most of the time it won't matter except for getting perfect looking stats (only yes votes), but I mean nice stats is what life is all about, right? Right?
No, that's why it SHOULD be subjective. The people who come looking for entertaining .avis will be picking them subjectively, too.
New people will watch the movies that interest them. As long as the judgment process is fair (objective), the movies that might interest them will be published, as opposed to being rejected. Although again, this won't ever make a difference so this arguing is pretty much pointless.
