You have to give Bisqwit the specific URL for your file on microstorage so he can find it. Microstorage is used by a lot of people here, so there are a lot of files on it.
Edit: You could also upload it somewhere else. Bisqwit just needs the file, however he ends up getting it.

You can leave this submission as uncanceled, and Bisqwit can just replace your movie file with the new one you've given him.
This is encouraged instead of canceling and resubmitting in order to reduce the artificial inflation on the number of submissions, I think.

I haven't watched this movie, so I could be way off.
I talked with adelikat while he was coming to this decision, and it was not based solely on the rerecord number. As adelikat said, "The ridiculous luck manipulation is the life blood of an entertaining rpg TAS." Using both the game and the rerecord count to show that there isn't the same caliber of luck manipulation in this game necessary as many RPGs - not that you didn't manipulate luck enough. Without extreme luck abuse even required, console RPG runs can look similar to TASs. When you say that you know the game so well that you don't need to spend as much time manipulating luck, that either means there isn't much to manipulate, or there is a lot more that could be manipulated. Humans aren't RNGs.

How many unentertaining movies could we publish under this reason? (And I thought Zelda sucked too)
And popularity of the game, yeah it sucks, but it counts for something. Also, I've heard that run of Chrono Trigger is very unoptimized, but I'm not about to watch it to find out.

Very nice job, especially for your first submission!
I was definitely entertained. The fast jetpack speed and some of the more crazy jumps were pretty cool. Only thing that stuck out to me was near the end, a couple hits were taken that caused some pausing, but I don't know the game at all so I'm guessing it was faster than whatever alternative there is.
I vote yes.

There is a search option, at the top of each forum page.
And in this same topic (off-topic), the thread directly below yours talks about this same kind of thing.
I wonder why imageshack is discouraged.

Phil's eggs has run its joke course, and now serves as a way for me to lock threads without being an administrator :)
Also it's neat to know that for every TASer in my country, there are 1.912.045 other losers that I'm cooler than.
Do the dance y'all \o\ /o/

I thought the point of a Knuckles run was to play as Knuckles.
It also helps to differentiate the run as much as possible when going for chaos emeralds so that it is unique compared to the existing run.

For me, MPC will load the file, and I can seek to anywhere in it, but it won't play.
WMP10 (shudder) will play the file, but the sound seems distorted to me (particularly, I notice inconsistency during the music when the opponent is knocked down).

Any chance of this changing? It'd be handy to have a utility to change things like authors, emulator version, ROM checksum, sync settings, etc. Although usually they don't need to be edited much, so maybe a button would need to be clicked to "unlock" them first.
I just checked this out tonight and it's looking very very good. Looking forward to future versions!
Edit: LOL @ About screen :)

The latest episode isn't about a particular game, but about the naming of sequels in games (and movies).
I think that even those who don't typically enjoy Angry Nintendo Nerd will appreciate this episode. More content, less mindless profanity.
