I did a speedrun of Space Quest 4 (CD Version) in 30 minutes. I have no way of recording it though. Here are some tips
-Use the voice option, because you can skip it ALOT faster than the text boxes.
-In the streets of Xenon, go straight for the sewers
-The time codes are the same every time you play. Do a dry run first and write them all down. Then you can skip getting them all.
-In the mall, all you NEED to do is get the clothes (I think you may have to also get the money from Zondra's bank account, it's been a while since I did the speedrun,) then go to the arcade, and the Sequel police will be there, then just do the Skate-O-Rama sequence and get the Time Pod.
-Just skip the Space Quest 1 sequence altogether. You don't need the item you get there to beat the game if you know the values for the lasers in Vohal's Fortress ahead of time (Walkthrough)
-Don't bother with the terminal's plug, since you didn't get the terminal or battery anyway, this is a no-brainer. The robots follow a set pattern. Memorize it then go to the supercomputer. You'll need the door code since you don't have the hintbook (Again, dry run or walkthrough) Now Flush only the one items you need to (Security Droid and Brain)
-In the battle with Vohaul, don't mess around with the computer. Press only the buttons you must (Walkthrough)
I wasn't posting that to bash you, but I found it interesting your ability to piss off people isn't limited to this site.
Hell, there isn't even an entry for 'bisqwit' or 'time attack' yet.
How do you know thats me ? Well If I piss people off then it must be losers because this is the internet and they need to not get uptight, and if they dont like me they should just ignore me then.
Losers like people that send emails to unknown strangers like one a person sends hate mail to maddox, they make themselves look like idiots, its like they have nothing better to do then flame someone on the internet and get offended by his website, if you dont like his website dont go there. I dont agree with everything on his website but that doesnt mean I go all crazy and send hatemails to a person I dont even know.
anyways back on subject, what does this have to do with my topic, would you stop flamming me and get back on track.
Well, it's nice to know that people have the time to make an entry bashing an otherwise completely unknown person, outside of a pretty small group who probably don't really care about him. It truly adds to their credibility that one is named "Character-Zero", and the other "MOUNT ME".
I dont know what that is, but it's pretty lame. To bash a nick name handle , that anyone can use, the definition should be removed.
Anyway to remove this pointless crap ?
That's all it IS, genius. There is no deep, meaningful plot to Dragonball Z! "Save the Earth/Universe/Whatever" is as deep as it gets! I've read all of the manga, I've seen all of DB, Z, -and- that godawful mess that was GT. I've seen all the movies and, save for the GT special, have seen all the sidestories.
And I STILL don't like it.
Why? Because I'm old enough to recognize mindless shounen fighting when I see it. You haven't picked up on this. I do love how everyone who states their opinion is 'on the bandwagon' to you. You who, might I add, have added nothing to your own thread. All you've done is commented here and there, yelled incoherently, and said the word 'bandwagon' more times than a propaganda film!
So tell us, O Wise One: What's so great about DBZ? What's so incredibly amazing about Goku losing his shirt but, somehow, not his pants time and again? Are his pants made of stronger fabrics? If so, why does he not make his shirts of the same stuff? And why does he bath in a barrel in his front yard?! Whyyyy?! YOU! OBEY THE FIST!
if you are so anxious to see Goku naked why dont you just say so ?
So anyone who says they don't like DBZ "hopped on the bandwagon?" I watched the majority of DBZ and can safely say that I agree more with Cherry than with you. However, like you oh-so subtley hinted at BombAHead, this is just my opinion. Just because people form the same opinion as "the bandwagon" has, doesn't mean they didn't take time to arrive at it themselves.
no anyone that doesn't give a good reason why they dont like dbz and over exagerrate it by saying , all dbz is a bunch of screaming,yelling,dialouge,and powering up.
honestly what kind of crappy opinion is that, its a bunch of crapy copyed by other people over and over, quite frankly I'm tired of looking at it.
then perhaps you would like to watch teletubbys also ? LOL
from what I found out its the same creator.
I gather the irony was lost on you... 'Boobahs' is the most god-awful thing ever. Imagine Barney the Dinosaur on drugs (quite literally), and you've got a good image of it. And, yes, I do find episodes of Boobahs more interesting than the '20 minutes of bland dialogue, screaming, and punching' of DBZ.
Congratulations you just hopped on the bandwagon and go with other people that havent seen the show and have no opinion of your own. I respect other peoples opinions but not yours.
No, he's just an anime fan. An extremely limited one, perhaps, but it's not like that's a new thing. Can everyone just take some time to cool down before posting again?
SSV: Were you able to get the message I sent to you?
yes I did, I'll reply in a moment.

To say this is debatable would be an understatement... at least as far as my personal opinion goes.
As for music, I can safely say I've heard better songs (and lyrics) than 'Cha La Head Cha La'.
As for the anime itself... well, I'd honestly prefer watching Boobahs than DBZ. At least Boobahs has the curiousity factor, where you can't help but want to know what freaky horrors will appear next...

offtopic: but you've got to read this quote its hilarious
http://www.bash.org/?484340
but you got to admit some of Funimations music they put in dbz was really good.
No. No it wasn't. Casio Music =/= Really Good. At any point.
Ive seen the japanese version, and I know for a fact that the english version of SS2Gohan fighting the cell juniors has better music.
lolz opinions omgz!
I know what music you are talking about though, when Gohan goes super saiyan 2, its alright
.....You think the music to the single greatest moment in DBZ (debatable) is just 'alright'...
*points* Get out.
So you're saying what Funi did was good, then? To have Gohan pointlessly TALKING up to and through the very first part of the scream?
Mmkay.
Hearing Tamashii tai Tamashii playing as Gohan just stared there, taking in everything until the point he snapped... That SINGLE moment in the original is so much better than anything Funi's done. While I know their voice actors had to've wound up with several sore throats from yelling, their yells never had the power that the originals did.
Want another comparison?
Majin Vegita's suicide explosion against Fat Buu. Listen as he yells in both versions. Raspy!Dubgeta never even came close to the power.
WELL NO crap sherlock of course there opinions what else did you think they were ?
Dude, I changed my opinion about that when Sleepz gave me the link, because I havent seen a lot of the japanese version and I saw glimpse of it.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD I WAS talking about when Gohan fights the Cell juniors, that funimation did a good job with the music there. When did I say funimation did good job on Gohan going super saiyan 2 ?
Until I watch the entire japanese version of It then I dont really have an opinion about it. But I have seen bits and pieces of it and I love it as well.
I also noticed someting in dbgt , in the lost epiosdes where that whisker dude gets really mad at trunks for touching his whiskers, and in the japanese version he gets mad and screams really loud but in the english version he hardly shows that much emotion. Funimation did a terrible job on dbgt, and the sound track is boring as heck.
EDIT by feitclub: Stop shouting.
yeah Ive seen it, now that I think of it , it is pretty cool, way better then the english dub.
In fact most animes dont have this good music in it. Dragonball Z is the best anime made :D and still is.
but you got to admit some of Funimations music they put in dbz was really good. My favorite part was when SS2Gohan was fighting the cell juniors.
I have both versions of that episode, and the original definitely sounded better. What really bugged was Gohan's SSJ2 transformation. That was one of the most memorable moments in anime, not to mention the greatest scream ever recorded, and they didn't even bother with bgm? The music Funi made for the show doesn't even come close to the original music. I still watch it if its on tv sometimes though. Its still DBZ.

I know what music you are talking about though, when Gohan goes super saiyan 2, its alright In my opinion.
I'm still confused, so all Demo World is , is a mod made by people ?
If you want to call it that, yes. And indeed, it is made by people, not cats which many could first assume. (Which is a shame.)
It's just an 'edit' of Super Mario World that replaces all the levels, and adds some custom-new-things.
thats cool, someone make me a game, and I'll see if I can get through it.
Well, I'm sure we all know about 'Super Demo World' now, the huge SMW hack with all-new levels etc.
What I'm wondering, is... are there any more worthwhile game hacks out there, for other games? Key word being 'worthwhile', of course... I've seen near-hundreds of hacks for the original Super Mario Bros., that only change sprites, or the title screen, and other such useless nonsense.
I'm looking for hacks that have changed things around so much, that they are 'new games', while still retaining the gameplay quality of the original.
So, does anyone here know of any?
Super Demo world, no I dont know what that is , what is it ?
Well, DBZ used to be my favorite back while it was still first airing in Japan. I have every single ep/movie/special. It was so unreal, there was nothing like it at the time (and even to this day). But, no, I agree that Funi did ruin it. Just everything. Don’t say I’m jumping on the wagon either, cause I used to be the biggest DBZ fan, and if you’ve watched the whole thing unedited with the original Japanese voices and bgm, then watched Funi’s, you’d be shaking your head in disappointment too. Most people bash the show because they watched Funi’s prior to the original. I’d be bashing it too if that were the case.
Still, DBZ is one of the most popular shounens ever, and long-running shounens is what makes anime so great IMO. Worlds of action, adventure, epic storylines, awesome fights, unforgettable characters, the most interesting scenarios, and of course yelling out the name of your special attack before using it >D. But almost every series has its one annoying trait. DBZ has dozen-episode fights (might not be a bad thing), Naruto has the longest flashbacks, One Piece has the most filler eps, UY and Ranma are too repetative, Kenshin has 30 eps of non-manga trash, etc.
My favorite series right now, and what I recommend everyone check out, is Hunter x Hunter. I think the series is the perfect length (62 eps + OVAs). It doesn’t drag on over a hundred eps, and it gives you more to watch than 26 ep series, too short IMO. Doesn’t waste time with filler eps either. So many awesome characters too. Gon, Killua, Hisoka, Ryodan. It’s also a lot more scientific than Naruto. Another reason why I like it is because its not such a theme show, like how in One Piece, all the main characters have to be pirates in a water world or in Naruto they’re ninjas in a feudal Japan like setting. Anyone of any occupation can be a hunter as long as they have the skill. The setting is a modern day society, but like the less known side of it. Ugh, I can yap on about anime all day. /me goes to work on timeattack.
but you got to admit some of Funimations music they put in dbz was really good. My favorite part was when SS2Gohan was fighting the cell juniors.

dunno if I should watch sub or dub though. I like to hear English, but I hate censorship... stupid christian america ;/
Hold off on the stupid Christian America thing, I'm offended by this you know. I am a Christian. I hope you didn't mean that.
Anyway They have it uncut in english too, the dvd's have both versions on them japanese and english.
I don't care for it. The idea was novel before it was released on Toonami. This is the general break down of DBZ/DBGT:
Goku:"I am super strong! There are no enemies here so we can live in peace!"
Frieza/Cell/Whatever:"I am super STRONGER! I will destroy everyone because I am inherently evil and my power level is 50 billion!"
Goku:"ARGH! HOW CAN THIS BE!?! I will train for a long time and become stronger!"
*Fight ensues, Goku wins*
Goku:"I am once again the strongest! The world is safe again."
Repeat, ad nauseum, with a few random deaths and rebirths and whatnot. I think the writers wrote the first 30 episodes and then decided to copy/paste with new names, moves, and locations.
Congratulations on hopping on the wagon again like everyone else. im off the internet for a while. LONg while.
that last 5 minutes of namek lasted how many episodes?
but i did watch them all, if only to say i had (and what sense of accomplishment i feel for that. i dont know)
yeah so what ? , Frieza exaggerated he thought the planet would blow up in 5 mins but he was wrong.

Common attributes of anime :)
I recommend you take a wider look (at more different series).
I have but I still consider Dbz is my favorite anime.
Well, I don't care for it much either, all of the fights degenerate into two guys powering up for extended periods of time to unleash one attack which always fails. See you next episode.
And the dubbing sucks. I've never seen the subbed version though.
no a lot of people say that and what happens is that everyone joins the wagon, and never watch it for themselves and dont even have their opinion about it. The dubbing does not suck for dbz, funimation did a great job on it , and also they did a great job with the music also. THe subbed version is good as well. How do I know you didn't watch it for yourself ? because you are wrong about what you just said.
Any Dragonball Z lovers here ? ( I HOPE THIS IS a good topic < HOPE IT WONT GET LOCKED BY BISqwit cause he dont like dragonball z or think that I got banned out of Dragonball_Z something irc.)
WHere are you Bisqwit I think I have a right to discuss a subject I want on the off topic section.
I already pm'd feitclub saying this . "Show me in the rule book where I cant post topics like that. Why cant I discuss Irc ? thats bogus I dont think the topic should be locked. Just cause you dont care doesnt mean you have to lock it. Just let it go and let the thread die on its own"
I'm a little ticked about that. Because I was going to make another reply and he closes the thread. NO rule in the book either.
I was only discussing one subject I wasn't constatly replying with useless spam that happened to me on Irc. I made a thread with one topic about something.
I dont think the thread should be locked I really oppose this.

I'm going to err on the side of "who cares?" and lock this topic. To those who can, feel free to reverse my decision.
thats not true there was someone that cared and made a reply to it.
