More like "cheatulator" in this case, but it is indeed a good idea. Previously I've only thought of using SpeedGear (speed hack) + ArtMoney (memwatch + crude savestating) as an external cheat facility for PC games, but I believe MHS's reach can be made even farther.

Well, it's just been proven that a Portal TAS would consist of roughly a minute of gameplay and about 6-8 minutes of waiting for the cutscenes to end. :\
Thanks for the testruns, though, they're awesome and confusing while they last.

1) Console music formats usually contain samples and processing impossible for MIDI.
2) Some CD soundtracks are made directly out of console music.
3) CD soundtrack arrangements or original master recordings are usually better than anything contained within console music formats.

I fully believe that if I wanted to study the game and it's mechanics and flaws to the fullest extent possible, I could make a kickass run. As could many people here if they wanted to. But as it sits right now, upthorn is right, and will continue to be right until someone pours themselves into the game.
Exactly. If you are inexperienced in (and better yet, totally unrelated to) TASing Sonic 1/2/3, what point is there to complain you aren't listed among those who actually know their stuff and have proven themselves to be able to do it? Yeah sure, let me feel insulted about my own statement as well, then. Waiter! Two hot insults, please.

Last boss dying by himself is not a glitch, it's a staple of Gradius games. Most (if not all) of them have passive and/or self-destructing final bosses.

Are you guys trying to correct my opinion or something? Lol.
You would fare better if you found proofs of otherwise then. And I'm not talking about finished submissions. Good luck to you.
Also,

Right. Sorry you feel insulted because of your own interpretation.
It would also be consistent of you to correct others when they express their "speak on everyone's behalf" opinions that you agree with, as well. Otherwise I would think you weren't against that in certain cases. Start with yourself, kthx.

A lot of people would like to see an optimized glitchless run with Sonic solo, but no-one's working on it, and there are only about ~2 players on this site who are able to do one up to current standards.

you may swallow his decision with your private deep throat technique(tm) and lick truncated zero-hole. he barely even played this game and i state that only those who completed at least 50% of the game may judge, others just go breathe fresh air with full lungs :)
Well, thanks for the advice, but I don't have a problem with any of this; you do. Nor do I have a deep throat technique, for that matter. 4x1 Tetris block was inventive, though.

You may also use your deep throat technique to swallow your discontent. While Truncated's opinion is as valid as any other opinion, he is a judge, and he decided so that the movie should be rejected. Not that I'm happy with his decision, but it's not something to crusade against.

the way i see it is that... nothing matters... because we're all gonna die anyway. It's a dead end every time. Death makes brick walls meaningless.
Well, duh.
The point is not living forever, the point is spending the time you live so that it fills some purpose defined by yourself, be it the continuation of your kin, gathering experiences, deriving pleasure, anything else, or any combination of them. If you have no such purpose, killing yourself is an option (hint).

started smoking, started drinking, started doing other sorta drugs (nothing health-threatening, just psychedelics and my lovely thc), and started, well, having a completely different lifestyle then i did when i grew up (i was raised mormon). […] the way i see it, i'm gaining memories and experiences that i won't forget. i think it's about what you get outta life instead of what you do in life.
It's good if you're having fun (though avoiding health-threatening drugs when you've mentioned two of such just before that seems slightly inconsistent), but just devoting time to said process is not going to leave many colorful memories. You won't remember every day spent like that, so I guess it makes somewhat more sense to do something more meaningful and memorable while at it, or alongside it. Otherwise, creating any forms of art usually brings satisfaction and is memorable as well.
The problem with living the present day without caring of the future is that it's only good while it lasts, and facing a brick wall one of these days is pretty much inevitable, which is why many people just throw their life away at this moment. I've been largely following that lifestyle until recently, too, after graduating from my university: basically, just slacking on everything possible.
But on this year's January, 1st, I was thinking over my life and supposed future, and many of my thoughts were similar to yours and Fabian's, which was the reason I decided to change my lifestyle, as it started to seem too meaningless in the long run. I realized that I reached the limit of mental development it allows, and when I asked myself, what was going to be afterwards, the answer seemed to me as a dead end, at which I'd have to suddenly give up most of what I had, and lead a sad and boring way of life. I won't go into details, but a good answer to my situation was to start working on something that would further develop my personality and bring good emotions in the process; i.e., to get ahold of my life. Thankfully, I've found a great job, and my only complaint with it is that it takes a huge toll on my time. Another possible solution in addition to that would be to fall in love and eventually create a family, but right now I don't care enough to cut another chunk of my free time. It's going to take a couple years to fully adapt.
Not sure if it helped any of you, but I guess trying didn't hurt.
