Feos: Are you implying that God dictated to the man who wrote it?
I'd think it more likely that if indeed God had a hand in the Bible's creation as a literary article, that it would have been done by Man using their 'better judgement' to interpret God's intentions, which is coincidentally what people ask of those who wish to believe that what the Bible says is true.
Faith makes no sense to me. I'd rather not have to make such an effort to believe in something which has so many holes and flaws in it when there's something which makes sense for reasons which also (generally) make sense as an alternative.
But load times will be different between different GCs, Wiis, etc. There is no one "load time" it always differs. So it will never be like on a real console, since in this instant there is no one real console, there are a million different ones.
This difference will be tiny. Completely unobservable to the player, unless there's some kind of damage on either the disc or the system itself. For the most part, loading times have a negligible effect on gameplay, but for games like Metroid Prime where load times consist of waiting around for rooms to load so the doors will open, this will be observable.
"Here at TASVideos, we strive to push games to their limits. The emulators we use allow for undoing mistakes, slow-motion gameplay, and even in some cases utilizing robots to do our bidding.
Using these tools, we overcome human limitations to complete games with extremely high precision, entertaining our viewers as our players tear through games at seemingly impossible speeds. The end result of this process is simply a series of key-presses which can be performed on the original hardware."
From the TASVideos about page. The entire point of this website was to show how games can be played if human reflexes and mistakes were not a factor, not how games can be played if things that are part of the game are removed (through inaccurate emulation).
I'm laughing at how almost every fucking DOS tas just involves making the game run faster than intended thanks to the benefit of CPU speed. Surely you can TAS ALL these games at the default, recommended, intended, etc. speed that the designers had in mind when creating it? Or are you going to make TAS a joke?
I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that the game running faster wasn't done intentionally. >_>
Synx: I'll just say you're wrong and leave it at that. The thread is derailed enough as it is. If you think the rules should change, make a separate thread for it.
...
Let me put it in a way you will understand.
Creating runs that don't conform to the sites rules will hinder those runs from being published on the site.
If a TASer creates a run that doesn't conform to the rules, while knowing full well that the run does not conform to the rules, then the TASer should be well aware that his run will most likely not be published here. That's not the rules failing. This also goes for silly little fanboys populating the forums that may or may not have a rudimentary grasp of what common sense is.
I'm not being defensive. I'm challenging your statement because it's ludicrous. Your post is not 'stating the obvious'. If anything, it's 'stating nonsensical hyperbole'.
I might sound too harsh here, but this site is in danger of fading to irrelevance with it's non-sense rules. Hopefully you all agree from SL's WIPs that his run is awesome and would contribute to the site if published. When the rules no longer protects or serves the site, that is the precise moment when they should be changed yo better fulfill their purpose. (Which they, in this case, obviously do not)
lol
hey guys some guy is doing a TAS that doesn't conform to the rules
clearly the site is at fault
In all seriousness, claiming that the site is fading into irrelevance because it won't bow to the arbitrary decision made by one person regarding one TAS is hilarious. Feel free to show us a more relevant site for TASes if you're going to make that kind of claim.
I enjoyed watching this run. The announcer constantly telling you what weapon you were selecting when you were switching between your weapons was irritating but the rest of the run was entertaining. Yes vote.
PSX ISOs fit on a standard CD (~700MB). There is no way you could fit 4GB on a PSX disc. You're probably thinking of PS2 games, which are on DVDs.
Encouraging temporary encodes is something I agree should be done. Doing it at the expense of making the submission process more convoluted just because people are impatient is silly.
This is not the best place to post this. Welcome back to the forums. Leave your real life drama behind.
I have left the drama behind. I figured I would post this for those who were curious what happened, considering during this time I kinda disappeared from the community without saying anything. My last words were brb after all >.>
90% of the first post is drama. We don't need to know what happened between you and whoever else was involved. You had some bad times, you came back, that's all you should be sharing on an open discussion forum.
Those who are curious will ask you themselves and then you can tell them all this.
