Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, thanks. Maybe individual subpages with a dedicated YouTube index on the main page. Or just continue to send people away to YouTube itself...

Thanks for reminding me Ferret, I've been meaning to put that up for a while :) I personally really liked it... makes me want to try to make it faster :P
I've got several links to YouTube and noticed there is a wiki "module" for embedding them in pages -- is there a downside to doing so? Maybe all on a separate page...

Interesting, but what is it with all of the scrolling bullshit over all of these movies?
Imagine youtube comments... but directly on the movie o.0 You can turn them off by clicking the little talking bird in the lower right hand corner. I actually think they're kind of amusing, especially since I don't know what they mean.

Next time, try to manipulate into getting more energy cells so we won't have to hear the death beeps. Even SM does that, too.
But if he had more energy, he could have saved more time by running into things or whatnot... seeing him win with little energy left is one of the best parts of the movie to me :)

OK, added some more:
http://tasvideos.org/Alden/ButtonPressStatistics.html
Surprisingly, Marble Madness seems to be on the high end...
The most dense button pushing so far is SMB2 warps, which averages almost 2 presses per frame... by comparison, the median density movie, A Boy and His Blob, presses about 2/3 of a button per frame. Monopoly presses under 1/25 of a button per frame on average :)
At some point I'll make a real script for these and maybe expand to other systems.

Dear jimsfriend,
I'm a bit disappointed in your unusual show of clarity and forthrightness. Please go back to non sequiturs in the Off Topic forum.
Thanks,
alden

While I was disappointed with the lack of lava-boosting, it was still great to watch. Yes vote.
There was lava boosting, it just wasn't useful. But yeah, I agree with you on that Mr. TEM.
I vote for finding a way to skip the intro, it's breaking my tab key.

I for one welcome our new sticky overlord
Ooh, that's another perennial hated sequel: each season of the Simpsons. I'm a drooling fanboy though so I think it's still funny despite the hype.

Nice glitch :) I got it to work the way you described, but it doesn't seem to work anywhere else I tested. That's too bad. Maybe you can find somewhere though?
Also: I think you can still improve the apartment fight if you want, by at least 5 frames.

where do they have... the autotransmission controlling mechanism
Some cars have the "autotransmission controlling mechanism" on a lever attached to the steering column
Circus City is hilarious ... but yes, we have a tendency to drop a LOT of phonemes, especially here in California. We're lazy like that :S

Same here! Can't believe I forgot that one: too obvious I suppose. I also took the liberty of adding a screenshot to it...
There should really be a whole Morimoto section though.

You can probably take the Demon's Crest canceled submission off the list, since there's an improvement on the workbench right now.
It will either come down or be replaced shortly ;)

I know I saw a thread in one of the forums about a Rampage TAS
Here you go: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5400 (shameless self promotion!)
It's "only" a meg, not 90, but still... Kind of a different concept though -- it uses the fewest types of buttons, not fewest presses. I could probably reduce the number of presses a lot by writing a Lua script that was a bit smart than mashing turbo A :)
On the topic of fewest actual presses, I was actually pondering this the other day. By trying to eliminate all un-needed presses, you could get a decent comparison on how "complex" a TAS is in comparison to another, sort of an alternative to looking at rerecord count. Each presses essentially correlates with a "decision" by the author, and the more decisions made the more "complex" ... well not exactly but close enough :P
How would the analog stick in N64 runs work for this?
I would assume that you would count any change in magnitude, for example if you went from 0 to 50 for a few frames and then to 100 (not going anywhere in between) that would be counted as 2 presses... which is basically what Derakon wrote as I was writing this.

Doesn't exist in the UK either (I hadn't even heard of it until you wikilinked it..)
My father grew up in New York Cities in the forties and he did celebrate his name day! So certainly a fading tradition. I always linked it to his Catholicism.

Yeah, well, accusations of "sucking after X" for bands have always been around and always will be.
Truth be told, most people think of the band in terms of that one album they really like; the next album cannot be identical, and therefore does not fit into the old view of the band, so is considered inferior.
Or they're just a bunch of sell outs ;)
(btw the beatles sucked after paul mccartney died)
