Don't know much about the game, but I was interested when I watched your level 1 wip. Give me ~24 hours and I will have something to say. Whether it is helpful or not is questionable :)

My biggest thing is that when a video gets 27 votes, and only one of those votes is under 5, it is hard to see that one vote.
But, I DO like the new system. You rule Bisqwit! (and bossy :))

Anyway, it is nice to see this game TASed, though it is incredibly unfortunate that they just totally threw away everything they had from the first Rocket Knight Adventures, in order to build this boring game from scratch.
Yeah, the whole "Hey, I STILL can't get past the first level!" was great. Ahhh, memories. :)
And Ferret, I still love you!
I gave you a 6 across the board... so, like, a C+/B- ala 1960 (aka, good grades :P)
The run got a bit boring every so often, mainly in the middle of the auto-scrollers... but you did an excellent job in keeping/attempting to keep the viewer entertained.
Don't take the technical vote wrong, I think it looks great. However, considering this is the first possibly published TAS of this game, I feel there is more to improve (such as a glitch or something)
Anyways, great run.
Voted Yes.

Is there a reason that you can't BLJ through key doors? Can you not get enough momentum, or something?
Also, why not BLJ through that last star door, instead of having to "sit" through the text that tells you you need 70 stars?

JESUS CHRIST GET RID OF THE TEXT! SOOOO UGLY!
(about as ugly as all my yelling and such in this post :/ )
Or just have a check for if you've posted in the topic. If you've posted, no text at the top.
Umm... no?
To clarify, the text appears in all the submissions that I have posted in, voted on, or both.
EDIT: Oh, wait... I misunderstood that you were making a suggestion, not that what you were saying was how the text behaves right now. I'll sit down and shut up now.
OH! After the 20th time reading BOTH of your posts it finally dawns on me. Good call Apo123!
I hate morning retarded-ness.

As many as needed, easily. The last problem was unoptimization, yet firing for no reason at all looks unoptimized. The solution: lose the frames for perfection.

Sticky: You should try getting that first one to play to the tune of I'm a Gangster.
HAHA! If you want the .avi t try for yourself... otherwise, I don't know how to do that :P
Here is another one, this one of Gambit.
I am uploading more videos, too, but it is taking forever.

I think there SHOULD be a numeric representation of votes. An uneditable, unclickable counter fo sorts... just to make the judge's job easier when trying to figure out how many yeses and nos have aquired for run X.

Maybe I should add "post a YES reply" / "post a NO reply" / "post a MEH reply" buttons to where the poll was, and those would simply start composing a reply to the thread with "Yes vote" etc. prefilled automatically in the post :)
Best idea I have heard thus far.

I appreciate your contrary opinion but I still have to disagree with that. I think optimization should always come before entertainment because optimization is factual and is a more fair criteria to base your publication decision on rather than entertainment. If people don't find a run entertaining than they can always just not watch it but if we have outsiders coming to the site craving for a dose of OoT speed. They'll have it.
I don't consider a TAS to be a source of video entertainment (as much as it is). It's always been appealing to me as a benchmark of current knowledge for any title at that point in time. It's a way to tell how fast something is possible, no questions asked. Although OoT is a boring game to watch through in one sitting, it's there to show you that it's even a possibility to watch a classic epic adventure game in one sitting which not too long ago, was an alien concept.
It's great to make a run entertaining, don't get me wrong. But, I think it shouldn't over prioritize optimization.
You cannot optimize this nontuplet run any farther. Wonder why this was rejected..

I admit it. I voted no.
I was not entertained by the movie. In fact, I hadn't made it past the long spiel by the Deku Tree before fast forwarding... there was nothing interesting that made me say "Oh gee, wow, I HAVE to watch the rest of this run".
I did sit through the old movie, but only with JXQ's commentary. Without it, I would have shut that sucker off faster than a circuit breaker could flip.
I answered the question: Did you enjoy watching this movie. No. I didn't.
Best of luck getting the majority and getting published, though :)

This was what I would have written in another thread, (where Bisqwit described the downtime) but it was too offtopic, and I think the question could do better with its own topic.
Does router crashing happen that often? The wireless-router I have tends to need rebooting a lot, and I was hoping it was just *that* router, not something that happens frequently...
This happens with both a wireless and wired connection, however the wired connection reboot is required much less frequently. I am looking into another router, preferably cheap, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions of what I should get. Preferably something sold in the US, so I don't have to pay much for shipping.[/url]

honestly i think u lack the motivation and/or time to finish the run.
its been quite more then a year since u posted in this thread.
so the fact is i got the motivation and the time :) and i will finish the run. if u dont tell me that youll be done by 1.1.2009 then im doin it. if u got any tipps for me, tell me.
otherwise, i hope my finished run will make u do it ur way to obsolete me ;)
#1) BoMF: you got BURNED!
#2) PreddY: Dude, just DO IT! He will be happy to help you out, I am sure. Although I can't speak for him, I would bet he wouldn't mind you working on/taking over the project. Make WIPs, make progress, then maybe he will get the motivation back again... however pestering him for updates will probably NOT get any motivation from any member on this site.

I enjoy them (of note, JXQ's Super Metroid with Input Animation), but sometimes they don't interest me at all. This is usually because I have never played the game and don't know/care what is going on.

Styckiman is you want camtasia record only where you want , go into region capture and choose : free region , you will decide presisely the size of you're capture.
Thanks to Alden for all the instructions he gaves me.
Noted, thanks for the heads up ^^

That's cool.
But... I understand that you want to show that it's done in an emulator, but is it really necessary to capture the emulator window borders too, rather than just the contents? Capturing just the contents would allow the image to be larger and clearer.
Jeeze, is anything ever acceptable?
Simple: I don't know how.
In depth: Encoding an AVI using the emulator does not work, because it will only skip every 9th frame. The Gangsta movie would run for ~52 minutes this way. I needed the 400% emulator speed. Finally, I have no idea how to speed up AVIs, so I began using screen capture software.
Sadly, FRAPS blows my mind EVERY time I try to use it, so I sought alternatives. The alternative I found was CAM Studio, which has an option to record a window, and which is the option I used. As seen with my cheetah men and Sonic GG encodes, I don't care at all about "being on emulator," but I do the best I can.
While on the topic, the reason there is no sound is because CAM Studio does not support recording directly from the source of what is being recorded. (Edit later, unclear writing) The only alternative is to "Record from Microphone," which says I don't have a microphone to use.
