Not all damage to the spine affects the spinal cord, nor is it always debilitating.

Though I don't think this is the most ideal game for a TAS, it did not get so long that I got bored watching this, and there were a few nice surprises along the way. I voted yes, and I don't understand what everyone thinks is so great about the previous run.

Jump kicking trashcans so that they intercept flying badguys. Bouncing enemies against walls just because you can. BADASSERY!

It's an example, jerkwad. Like how the animated PVP series has been popping up all over YouTube, even though it actually costs like $1.75 to watch the episodes. While I think that PVP is terrible and that the cartoonist behind it is a huge asshole that should be poor and starving, I still wouldn't condone pirating his work as such.

No, that would be boring.

Voting Yes. However, I woulda liked more flying tricks with weapons, rather than simply surrounding people and beating them to a pulp. One of the best parts of the old RCR run was the jump kick-trash can technique.

Well that wasn't fun to watch. Even as a fan of Duke Nukem, I found the run really ugly. The game/system set up is more to blame than anything else, but I can't accept this movie. Voting no.

Probably because YouTube has a policy against hosting media that is not free. Innocent and struggling cartoonists like Don Hertzfeldt lose money because Google Video supports piracy.

Did she get hit in the back of the head or in the eye? Anyways, good thing this epic thread was here to show me a pretty tame YouTube clip! Someone should just make a "Put Crappy YouTube Movies in This Thread Please" thread.

Wow, and just under 9 minutes, too! Too many subtle points of joy to list here. A very great improvement, to be sure. Yes vote the whip. Didn't someone say that Genisto's run would only be improved upon by slight frames or something? And here you are beating it by almost 10 whole seconds.

I'm reading over these, and I'm loving them for the most part. One thing I want to draw attention to is this:

Ruined Mood Theorem - A new thread with a first reply which is severely off-topic or lacking in content is not likely to see an improvement.

If every thread in a forum has a first reply shit post, then this theorem becomes moot. Case in point: AdBot at the Awful Forums. Automatically posts a cliche and useless reply to a new thread, so as to avoid active shitposting. e: <3 x 1000 at this:

In a non-debate thread about tastes and opinions, posting a detailed dissertation about why one has a strong negative opinion on something will attract posters who don't know the difference between discussing opinions and arguing morality or politics.

As an active debater (read: arguer), I have to frequently remind people that morals and ethics have no place in an opinion-driven argument.

Meh vote. I can see why this could get a Yes or a No fairly easily. While some parts were entertaining, there were too many boring parts for me to ignore them. That, and the fact that this game is fairly unfun to play, makes watching this a bit of a chore. I must commend you on your play level, though. Venom2 was great.

Where would Ogre Battle 64 fit in to this? It's arguably all 3 at the same time.

I think Guano should submit this run as a separate category because the tricks are version-specific. It's ultimately up to the staff to decide, though.

That will never happen. Runs for games have to run on a standardized version of the ROM. If one is faster than the rest, it will obsolete all other versions submitted. There is no reason to have a 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc publication for the same game just because of minute differences.

Wow. Ebisumaru is all sorts of bad ass in this game. I'm loving him more than I usually do. Keep up the great work. All of the side action is awesome, and the primary speed focus aint too shabby either.
