Is it normal for Nicovideo to have lots of text (mostly gibberish) stream over the screen at all times? It's rather annoying.
Press the button that looks like 3 dots in a text bubble (in the lower right of the window). Yeah, it's stupid to have the comments on screen. Why they have that by default I will never understand.

"Forgotten" indeed. Just like some people "accidentally forget" to wear pants.

While it's bad that you have a form of cancer, at least it's one that has a very high rate of successful treatment. I had another friend who had the same form of cancer and was able to beat it. And I know you will be able to do the same!

Nice link to my own speedrun.

Voting no because this was done 5 years ago with a better bowling game. Plus robots > TASes. Link to video

Why do you take so long to start? Also, I notice you didn't use the glitch that lets you skip the Vile dialogue. Is that because it's impossible without dashing?
I decided to use a fourth effect, which combines the 10-health effect with the all-weapons effect (reach the demo at least once, then press start just before going into another demo). The downside is having to watch the intro twice, but I decided it was worth it.
That's why he ran the intro twice. And the Vile dialogue skip is impossible without the boots since as soon as you touch the floor, the dialogue activates. Since he has no boots to jump across or charged buster to see if charged ice works, there's no choice but to play that section normally.

so why was the 4 hour run obsoleted? http://tasvideos.org/450M.html Shouldn't there be separate categories for glitched and not glitched like the other videos?
The 4 hour run was obsoleted with the last run. It's not being republished until a more optimized run can be made (and isn't NG+ or use the save glitch). Inichi made a speedrun (not a TAS) that's under 3.5 hours, which shows how much the old TAS needs to be improved.

While I don't agree with grassini's choice of words, I do agree with the principle point of his post. Entertainment doesn't have to be Michael Bay esqe in like every movie must have tons of explosions and guns shooting and such. A good movie can have all that, tons of dialogue, or even neither of those. The best movies are the ones that make you wonder, dream, and think. That is what true entertainment is about. And that's why I vote YES on this movie. Again and again.

Oh this should be interest...Wait...what?! Ending already?! Blew my mind. I'm voting yes. While I do miss a few humor quarks (like the "no cheating" comment at the end of time), it's still a good watch in my eyes.

I'd rate that laptop very highly, though I will recommend getting a cooler for it. Quad-cores run hot. I love the HP Pavilion dv series, even if a few of the early ones had heatsink flaws.

I made it though - DKC games make me kinda sleepy with their soothing music. But one thing comes to mind when I watch this run... Given that you play the "NG+" ending first then the regular one, this comes to mind... Link to video

Tried playing on snes9x-1.43-improvement13-win32 but the program crashed in the 2nd world, near the end. Time to look for a new version. Edit: And judging by the versions listed on Google code, by newer I mean "older"? Weird. How is v17 a year older then v13?

Can't wait for the finale tomorrow. My prediction for the "deep dark secret" is such: Cadence is actually the daughter of Discord. She's secretly seeking to bring her father back to life. Shining Armor happens to be a guard of where Discord is being held now, so the wedding is a ploy. Just a very wild guess and I'll probably be way off, but who cares!

Be weary of TV's not supporting PS1/early PS2 games in combination with Component A/V. (PS1 games have to be run via a PS2 console to exhibit the problem, I don't believe the PS1 has component A/V out?)
My PS1 has A/V cables. I am pretty sure PS1 and PS2 cables are interchangeable.
PS1, PS2, and PS3 cables are all interchangeable, much like the SNES, N64, and GCN all are (well, for them composite only, since the GCN component cables had a different end to them).

Yes, I've seen it, it normally happens when some computer enthusiast messes with the motherboard and ends up switching the GND and Vcc wires. Anyway, since you described that some devices actually worked, I guess bad grounding of the case or some other component might be causing short circuits where your devices are connected. This can usually be identified easily in laptops, if you hear some strange noise when you use skype, for example, that magically goes away when you place your hand on it, it's because bad grounding is generating a noise at the frequency of the power distribution network, that's amplified by the internal circuits. When you put your hands, you ground the case yourself and it goes away.
I looked over the case design compared to my board manual. I'd either have to flip the ENTIRE plug (the 4 wires are plugged together) in order to flip those two around. Why the onboard ones don't work though is just as frustrating, but this whole thing reeks. Edit: Well, I got the back ones to work now at least. Unplugged the demon front USB plugs and suddenly the back ones work. Still not sure why the front ones caused the damage they did, but at least I have 4 plugs in the thing now that aren't gonna kill any device they touch. Since I'm positive I didn't flip them around, either it's the 3rd ground cable (which could explain why the back ones wouldn't work, possibly) or the case company screwed up the wiring. Oh well, I've lost enough sleep over it as it is.

Here's an interesting thing I'm running across that's totally making me quite angry and frustrated. Here's the lowdown. New built PC. 4 on-board USB ports in the back, 4 front wired USB ports. None of the ones in the back work at all with any device. Nothing is recognized. Devices in the front work the first time they're plugged in, but every time after that the devices don't work. I mean completely. Plugged in an MP3 player, worked fine. Now while the device turns on (as it should), it doesn't charge nor does windows recognize it as a USB drive. Plugged in a PSP, worked fine. Now all computers won't recognize it (nor does the PSP turn USB mode on automatically). Not the cable or the other ports on the computer, since another PSP runs with the SAME cable on the SAME port without issue. ...so I've got a bunch of ports that don't work at all and others that blow out components. So my question is...does anybody have a shotgun? Two sets of bullets please, one for the last board I was working with that the onboard USB ports didn't work either. Actually, seriously. Has anybody ever heard of a USB port blowing out components? Cause this is a new one.

Hmmm...My GB Kid Dracula would have to be at least PG-13 due to Nazi Ghosts. No, seriously. They really do exist in the Japanese version of the game. Or would that make it automatically rated R?
