Firstly: There are two Hook (U) ROMS, (2648) and (29252). You should list your submission as Hook (U) (29252). This was a very well played submission compared to the last Hook submission I saw. However, the boss fights were really boring, and some of them (skeleton boss, hawk boss) seemed a bit improvable. I'm giving this a yes vote.

Off topic: I thought 'marriage' was a term that means 'civil union through religion'. *shrug* On topic: This is the fault of speedrunning sites conditioning viewers in to thinking that all movies showing games being played quickly are done on console in real time. Silly, yes, but it's the same logic being used against nesvideos.

P.JBoy: All you need to know is that if you want a hard run mode to be published on this site, you have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the SRAM you are using is in no way corrupt or imperfect and whatnot. Basically, you'll have to prove that you didn't alter the game in any way in between the last rewrite of the .sav file.

I thought woot was "Win Over Other Team", since it came about before owned became popular. Note: Using either when not in jest is just retarded.

Actually, Fabian specifically told him how to resize the picture. He just doesn't want to do his own work because he is a lazy *elf

No, it's quite different. However, I'll admit that I'm a big fan of Truncated. He's such a nice young man, and those muscles of his? I do declare, I must be geting the vapors... Anyways, goodbye.

Probably because his post was made in jest, and it wasn't his first contact with the forums.

OK, later QT Boi. Seriously, what do you expect when you make 40 posts in your first day here, the majority of which are demands? It's like walking into a library and telling everyone to find you a book on... Giraffes: you COULD do it yourself, but instead you expected everyone else to do it for you and got a lot of guff. Next time you want some help, you should learn some humility beforehand. e:

I don't get it. You didn't think to google "gameshark, dragon warrior" when looking for Dragon Warrior gameshark codes? How is it that we are lazy for not wanting to do your work for you? Why isn't Bisqwit lazy? Blame him too! This is all terribly confusing!

Your code is AFG773D49R. You also want to use E32LO1QQ12. My prompt is 'According to the four lais of Marie de France, what role should affection play in marriage?' I am arguing that the lais make it obvious that affection should not play a role in marriage, since all marriages based on marriage in the stories eventually lead to bad times.

Probably because you're being so myopic about this.

It's the classic case of "if you give a man a fish." SwedishMartin found what you were looking for pretty quickly by showing some effort. Maybe you could do the same?

I hope this doesn't set you off again, but: Most runs are rejected because they aren't entertaining enough. We turn back a lot of runs because they are slow, yes, but I attribute that as "slow = boring". Also, a non-insignificant amount of movies are rejected because they are too boring to watch. The movies that I am referencing arent a matter of 'a few frames'. Each of the Street Fighter 2 movies sacrifices a lot of speed to make some cool combos and whatnot. Otherwise, each fight would be the ~6 second Zanghief KO that Saturn/Shakespeare made. You can't tell me that entertainment isn't the main focus of those movies. Anyways, I tire of this debate. Neither of us is making any leway here. Someone else can fill in for me. :)

But aren't the main focus entertainment, as opposed to speed? It doesn't feel very accurate when they're called speedruns.

This discussion has been going on for a long time, it just gets dispersed into dense packets of debate that occur infrequently. Most people agree that the main focus of the site is entertainment, and one source of entertainment comes from speed. Other people agree that the main focus of the site is speed, although entertainment is also an important role.
