Glad you liked my answers on the Family Feud video, guys! Yeah, that was my video with the "cup of urine" and "pornography" responses. Funny enough, I came up with those completely by accident one day in a rampage where I'd just give completely illogical answers that didn't fit. I tell you, I right about laughed my ass off when I found that one come up. XD

No kidding! That's really awesome! I'll keep that in mind, though, I'm assuming that this has to do with a hex viewing program or something? I haven't been able to find one on the 'net that acts kinda like the one for the N64 Gameshark, so I haven't gotten one. By the way, I do hate to impose, but you mind asking him (if he hasn't seen the e-mail I sent him) if he minds about the content use on the wiki? I just don't want to up and steal stuff from him. I think it'd be rude. =/ I also found a few things poking around Acmlm's board thing that I gotta ask people about too.

Aye, I've known about The Cutting Room Floor for a while. It's a shame he doesn't update, and it's actually one of my big reasons for wanting to do my own wiki thing. I e-mailed him asking if I could use his content in the wiki. In the meantime... [URL=http://debugunused.wikia.com/wiki/Debug_Modes_and_Unused_Stuff]The Debug Mode and Unused Stuff Wiki[/URL] Feel free to add content if you like, just make sure to credit where you got it from. I'm still working on the whole general style, so I just ask to not quite edit that.

Thanks, upthorn! I've actually decided to just go ahead and request a wikia wiki for this kind of information. Links like that'll be useful. At the same time, I'll finally get to figure out how to mess with a wiki to make it all nice and stuff. This should be pretty cool. I hope there's interest!

Oh, what the hell. Caught on one of the off-times where I'm not wearing a Mega Man shirt. And yes, that is a lobster on my head. Mostly an in-joke for friends, and something for other people from Maine to laugh at. :p

OK, so I'm a total junkie for unused things in games, debug modes, etc. Stuff that can be directly accessed if I want to look at it. I notice that a lot of info on various games and stuff is really all jumbled around the 'net, some info lingering in forums, a few things put up in sites, sites that used to be around but just linger in stasis (I'm looking at BMF's 'The Cutting Room Floor' as an example), and so-on. Are there any current sites that are actively putting up information about this stuff? If there aren't, I was thinking about doing something like that in a Wiki format, because I think there's a lot of other people who'd be interested, not just myself.

I'm massively late in this, but... Right at the very end of the run, I was utterly surprised at just how much you were able to skip there and I was completely wrong in where I guessed you'd end up at the end of the run. Great job! I'm seriously looking forward to seeing more.

I heard an orchestrated piece of the SMB2 theme during a segment before commercial break on the local news once.

Oh God, he made another one of these. XD Call me bizarre, but I get a huge kick out of this absurdism. So much so, I've done my own absurdist poetry, and I have my own absurdist fiction book that I've put together myself. I think it's just fun to shut your brain off every occasionally and just enjoy something bizarre for the sake of its being bizarre.

I have to admit, I've had a ton of dreams where I'm playing games. Duke Nukem, Zelda, and Blaster Master have been more prominent. Blaster Master more in scarier-type dreams because the boss intro freaked me the hell out as a kid.

The only way the PSP will read the videos is if they're "M4V#####" (Insert your own five-digit number here). It's kind of a pisser, but there's not much you can do about it. However, in keeping with the TAS site thing, I did number each video I put up according to it's publication number.

All I really download on BitTorrent are the TAS AVIs anyway. A group of mentally challenged monkeys could run the campus better than half the people that currently work there. I have the uploads blocked so they don't try to declare me as sharing illegal files when the AVI files I'd normally be sharing are perfectly legal. I assure you there's no shady crap going on.

I've been kind of nervous about trying new BitTorrent clients because my campus is really crazy about punishing people for using torrent stuff. If I can block uploads on any program, then that'd help me out a lot. I know that downloading TAS vids are legal, but I doubt the University knows anything about them.

I've been using Shareaza to run my BitTorrent clients, as it's been something I've been using for a while.

I've tried that before too and it doesn't work. If I'm interpreting this correctly, would that mean that the .torrent file is the one that's making it stop at 99.??% and if the file isn't changed, then it's gonna do the same thing over again?

I don't know about anything on the router. My grandfather has it set up and I don't know how to go about messing with it. Re-downloading, on the other hand, has had some mixed results. Sometimes it works, sometimes it gets stuck in the same exact spot. I had some trouble downloading the Jaws TAS exactly for that reason, so I nixed it (A friend of mine wanted to see it). (Edit: And the Jaws one is still doing it, holy crap.)

So, here I am once again kind of irritated about this. Lately, I've noticed more and more when I try to download a TAS, it has the age-old BitTorrent problem of getting to 98-99%-ish and then just inexplicably stopping, peroid. And then it doesn't move for days, weeks, or even one time, I spent a few months trying to download one and it wouldn't budge the slightest. Can someone tell me what's behind the problem? It's kinda frustrating, and I never have really understood it.

So, I've been in the midst of re-watching the old run, and I have to ask, has any progress been made on this in the past almost two months? I've been really excited to get to watch the full thing.

Even newer systems are potentially bogged down by it. The laptop I'm on right now was shipped to me with Vista on it, and it ran like a quadraplegic until I wiped the disk and gave it a proper operating system. Vista is a plague. A pretty plague, but a plague.
I actually have to disagree out of my own experiences. I have had to wipe this thing before, but Vista seemed to be quite eager to help me get it back to some kind of working condition. My old laptop, which had XP on it, would constantly kick the bucket for no reason except that it could. I'm not saying that this is what all computers do. I just speak out of my own experiences. But anyhoo, I have actually disabled a few of the resources. I'm kinda iffy about taking off some of them because I don't know what would happen being that I'm on a campus network for the internet, but it seems to be running here a little faster than before, and that, my friends, is a good thing.

Unless you use the cheat menu for Randper Kombat, Kombat Kodes can only be used in two-player mode. I'd just go with Shang Tsung, personally.

For all those looking to hear me have a Mainer accent, sorry! I don't have one. I don't eat "lobstah" every day, nor do I "take the cah to Bah Hah-bah". :p (By the way, that'd be "Bar Harbor", for those not in the know, one of Maine's more popular ocean coast towns. Pretty big for tourism.) I'll try and think of some Maine idioms when I'm not waking up.

Out of curiousity, would any of these be applicable to Vista as well? I'm not having any resource-hogging problems, but I'd love to prevent them from happening.

All I was saying was that it was just ridiculous to fight and bicker about someone else's actions that have nothing to do with the actual run itself. Maybe I missed something, I dunno. I just get tired of seeing all the fighting.

I really don't care about drama when it comes to someboyd's TAS, unless it applies to in-game theatrics. I don't know about other people, but I don't see the point in starting or continuing drama, especially here. It contributes absolutely nothing to this place which is honestly, one of the most intelligent places I've seen on the web. It's why I've stayed here for over four years, despite the fact I haven't posted much. Seriously, just judge the run for how good it is, not judge it because Saturn made it. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, I dunno. Point is, I just don't like seeing this place degenerate into insults and needless fighting. =/
