Would it continue to go on forever if kept saving the Toad?
I think it would, considering he said he may do a 500 or 1000 point run in the future.
Overall I do not think mini-games are good for TASes. That being said, I have not watched it and will not vote.

I am indifferent to April fools. Never any jokes are played on me, and the only great thing is the ability to make substandard tases AND put them up on the workbench... not that I did anything like that or anything.

It's not just dial ups. The server literally takes 5 to 20 seconds to generate the page. And my upload bandwidth is small, too. Even if you've got a 100 MB line, it'll still load slowly.
The thing is, I really want each movie to have an article-like page that allows posting long article texts. The current format limits movie descriptions to some 15 lines, because longer than that makes the movie listing pages too long. For some movies, such as Super Demo World, the submission texts are something like 32 kilobytes long, and it's sad to not be able to present all of that in the actual publication. Sure, there's the author's comments link, but as practice has shown, nobody updates the author's comments after the movie is published (and since it's a submission message, it's not really supposed to, either). Still, explanations for the tricks performed in each stage could be revised months to come.
So are you saying that the movie description would be replaced by the author's submission notes? EX:
Nes' The Addams Family: "This extremely difficult game is about Gomez Addams, who must rescue his wife..."
Would be replaced completely with Ventuz's author comments?

I will type as I go.
I do not like how things are not in a specific spot. i.e. the rating for a movie is in antartica while the actual movie text is in the north pole.
The lack of anything more than stock graphics makes the site look tacky. I understand that this is just a possibility, but something major needs to be done to make the site anything more than looking like a stock website, that happens to focus on TASing.
The color scheme confuses me. Nothing is easily picked out (Green text on a green background, for instance) so I was thoroughly confused as to where I would find <this> button.
I HATE
a) non-alphebetized lists of published movies
b) more than one page for said movies.
Actually, one of the greatest features of your site, IMO, is how all the movies are directly on one page. No hunting is necessary, since you only have to scroll down. I do realize that some dial ups could have problems, but you give some you take some.
I need a screen shot of a game. Text does not emphasize the movie, nor does it help the viewer. If I played Aladdin in my youth, I would have fond memories of that... however, if I had forgotten all about the game, a text link will not jog my memory. Visual cues help people remember things, and games are no different.
Does the publisher matter? I <3 adelikat and dehacked and every other coder and publisher who do a TON of hard work for this site, but, from a n00b perspective, I would care more that JXQ made this movie (and I would want to see more JXQ)... but probably not more movies encoded by publisher/coder "a".
I do not think that the stip of bisqwit saying hello is necessary, especially if it displays the same message in the same space for ALL pages. Repetition will get old quickly.
I do not think that the selection part (green on green text) is very discriptive for the "other" section. other could mean regular speedruns or it could mean other, failed runs.
"Articles" should be written as "FAQS", as it was before. this is more descriptive of the true purpose, IMO, of that page.
Actually, why is there both a FAQ button (blue on blue) and an Article button?
The blue on blue part is handy, especially with a sign in space right on the front page. That should stay ;)
That is all for now, as I said these are my first impressions, and I wrote things as I saw them. No offense, Bisqwit, is meant; I am trying to be subjective and give some no bullshit opinions.

I really like the "upcoming" page, though it isn't immediately obvious that the "other" listing will display rejected submissions.
That being said, I think that the "canceled" text should also be in red, or another bright color, to indicate what happened. It took me 10 seconds to figure out why Gods was in the Other section.
There should be another name for either the first other section (green on green part) or the other section that denotes gruefood...

Bisqwit, did you happen to archive the new layout, so others (me) could jog their memory and give you some feedback? If not, it would be greatly appreciated if you did ;) (even jpgs would work for me)

This game reminds me of Sonic, with its fast-paced action.
The funniest thing is when it looks like Buster runs into an enemy but it is the end-of-level thing (sorry, don't know what it is called).
Yes vote.
Gogo Dodo!

The only input that happens is to optimize the start of the rom. A few of the images are complete with a ripper picture or spiel, idk what to call it. i press start so the game can continue (you MUST press start to get passed that ripper's post)
If you dont believe me, try me... I am also trying to get a vid posted on youtube, but compression is not my friend today T_T

Count your blessings that I am doing this for you, RT... its gonna take a while ;)
I will edit this when I have it uploaded.
EDIT: Sorry, RT, but my avi keeps coming up broken. Maybe another could encode? I have an updated input file if you choose to use the gens avi
Updated!

Well, in order to get all 9 ROMS to complete the game within 170 frames of eachother, I had to press start. ~3 or 4 ROMS had some slogan or something at the beginning (I know the second on the list does), so to quickly bypass the slogan I pressed start. Game completed x9!

I was entertained as hell... I think it would have been humorous if Batman faced joker the last time carrying a boombox that was playing "Welcome to the Jungle"
"You know where you are? Youre in the Jungle, baby! Youre gonna DIE!"
yes vote

I keep forgetting to watch, so i am going to ATTEMPT to encode this sucker (first attempt ever, so lets see how it goes)... anyone have any preferences for sites to upload it to? i may try youtube... if that is cool with you, alden.
edit: of course, you would get full credit for making the vid ;)

It's a really old game that came on one of those systems that used cassette tapes and took forever to load. You could select different planets to go to (each planet was one level) , I remember there was what I think was a "city" level and an underwater level, and the underwater level had a huge crab or something that traveled along a fixed path. The objective was to collect blue orbs of some sort and then probably return to your starting position (marked by a white box that might have been an elevator door or something). You couldn't really attack anything, you just had to avoid the bad guys (of which I think there weren't that many, most obstacles were environmental). 2D Side-scrolling.
although probably not correct, i remember a genesis game called "the magical school bus" or something along those lines. In that, too, you did all of those things... although it was not that old of a game, so probably not ported to/from a cassette.

collecting all of the golden items seems like a vague/bad goal. what is the point of having all the gold items, aside from saying "I have all the gold items"? a never-ending game is like the never-ending story... it does not end. Thus, making goals to successfully end the game would be difficult, if not impossible.
