Aw, my e-pen shrunk :P
The score is an interesting addition though!
I disagree. I think that Publishers and Movie Editors are pretty much equivilant... if not some more of the power leaning towards Movie Editors.
I'd kill for the power to edit unjudged submissions, mostly so that I don't have to post that I've uploaded the video to YouTube though, heh.
Naw, I meant that little (79)
Gotta get off my ass and make some more movies :)

Ah, I'll stop being so egotistical as to think you were referring to me specifically then :)
I see your point, but I think if the money goes to the site then it is a good way to incentivize donations.
Um, so what's the easier solution? Maybe I didn't read the thread carefully enough. I guess you could just say "donate now and if it doesn't get made, screw you" or "please please please promise to donate if it gets made" But i'm probably missing something since I haven't had coffee yet :(

I find it incredibly difficult to believe someone could even spend more than 5k a day, unless they were renting a room in a ultra high quality Hotel or something.
I could do it... just give me a chance!
Er, as to bounties, I would like to see the "donate to TASvideos" method if anything.
As to guaranteeing payment, you could make people donate money when the bounty is put up, but set the money aside and not spend it until the run is complete. Then give people the option of rescinding the bounty after say, a year (just to stop people from frivolously putting up a bounty and taking it back). More complicated but fair "IMO"

Thanks arkiandruski, those have been added. Also, I added a link to the page a couple of days ago from the Movies page under the "Special Categories" tab.

Yeah, please don't be like symbolic pixel go rain.
No need to change it just to match irc... you'll still be the loudmouth with a nick starting Fl on both :D

[I did not increase] my hp/defense at all in lieu of power and speed. Plus there's a badge that ludicrously increases your power when your hp is less than 1/4 full, which for most of the end bosses makes [one hit knock outs] possible. Unfortunately on the last boss, your HP is inexplicably refilled and my defense was so low that all her attacks insta-killed me, so I couldn't really get down low enough to increase my power, so this fight was aggravatingly long.
That's funny, I found the bosses to be easy, except the last one...
Go ahead and post WIP's in here, no reason to make a new thread. I'll probably watch them even though I didn't like the game :)

Well, with this route tail flips are not needed... and there does not seem to B any way to beat the game without B, so I think restricting it to only opening chests and your inventory for this reasonably fast route is the best way to go (rather than the previously proposed 1 2 6 7 8 route that only used B to open inventory, not chests).
Edit: I also think it would be cool to turn the hammer bros on world 1 to a coin ship since I think you can do both by getting 44 coins in 1-4 (you wouldn't go in the coin ship obviously)

Proof of concept!
http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/370022856/smb3-b-5-frames-alden.fm2
Presses B for 5 (non-contiguous) frames. No other button is pressed along with B.
Not played well at all. Proof that I am crappy at video games. Some of the later levels, especially the last fortress, were pretty hard without B. So will anyone step up to the plate and refine this? :) I sure as hell won't.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted... that's what I get for being a smartass.
BUT MAYBE... you could get a p-wing from the secret toadhouse from 1-4! The only question is whether you can get 44 coins in 1-4 without the b button. From this video it looks like you can do it without having to hit bricks with your tail, so I guess the only question is whether you can make the jumps. I might have to try this later :)
Er, I guess the other problem is using the p-wing and whistles in your inventory, since you need to press b to get at them :( This seems like a familiar conversation for some reason...
Edit: Oh yeah, here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6533&highlight=

are you thinking of encoding these? i would be in support of that
I would be too :D Probably would just embed/link youtubes rather than providing avi's due to storage issues.
The first step is a major overhaul of the page, and moving it. We'll see how fast that happens :\
