I agree. These stops were annoying the hell out of me.

Too bad I don't really like Mario and Zelda games much. :D But thanks anyway, I'll definitely check them sooner or later. BTW, what about other PC engine games aside from Doom/Quake? Halo, maybe?..

LOL, a new age of speedrunning: "Sadly, I can't do it slow…" "It seems that I can't avoid skipping most of the levels…" "Somehow all the paths except the shortest one became blocked…" "I was playing at 50% speed, but then I realised it actually was a frame-perfect run…"

2) My opinion is to skip all minigames, they aren't interesting enough for a TAS.
You can't just skip them, you must either win or lose them. Both options take time, and while losing ASAP constantly is really boring, one could at least make an interesting winning…

Well, if you could drag it, that would be enough, IMO (you're not going to observe every single corner of the screen that closely, are you? ;) ).

Honestly, I don't watch the unassisted speedruns too often (downloading some-several-hundred-megabytes-but-still-crappy-encoded video for an hour of actual and-still-not-always-impressive gameplay is still a bit of pain in the ass for me), but recently I've stumbled upon that earth-shattering Half-Life 2 speedrun which totally owned everything I've ever thought about this game. It looked as good as if it was tool-assisted, and the amount of skill and precision for every single action simply astounded me (and that's what I really love to see in speedruns). So, if there are some experienced people out there, what would you recommend me to watch next? %)

Another thing is to make a little (about 8—10 strings tall) always-on-top floating panel looking like this: 
--------------------
|  name1  || value |
|  name2  || value |
|  name3  || value |
|  name4  || value |
|  name5  || value |
|  name6  || value |
|  name7  || value |
|  name8  || value |
|————————————————————————|
|   ADD     REMOVE |
|  RESET     HIDE  |
--------------------
…where name* is the alias of the address, about 10 characters wide (ie. "lag countr"); value is its value refreshed every frame. Pressing "ADD" must bring up a memory watcher window, where you choose the address and write an alias for it. "REMOVE" must ask you which of the /name+value comb./ to remove. "RESET" resets the panel and "HIDE" hides it. Without a panel like that, I consider every emulator to be totally antiergonomic.

Looks entertaining. I never knew it was possible to superlap every race (although I've complete this game on my friend's Genesis), and I liked how you owned the bonus stages. On the other hand, this run needs numerous optimizations (ie. reducing drifts and unwanted collisions, maybe some more shortcut testing). And the ROM name is "Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament (W)".

Well, this argument would be valid for a site that doesn't collect movies that already can be suspected in everything possible on Earth… And it's not like the hacks allowed here are totally unknown or something.

Hmm, that actually gave me an idea. If some hacks eventually get allowed here as an exception, there must be a reason for it, right? I think Bisqwit should add a couple of lines to the rules that would justify the allowed hacks and also give us some space for deciding which of them comply to the defined criteria.

I was about to write something like this in the previous post, but I didn't: I don't feel qualified to judge this movie because I'm not familiar with this SM hack (and the last time moozooh convinced me to try one, all I got was irritated from getting lost and dying all the time). So I hope someone else can take this one.
Just to make sure you're not confusing anything: I wanted you to try "Metroid Redesign" hack, which probably was the one mentioned by Kyrsimys in his last post. As I've beaten both Legacy and Redesign, I must say that since catnap222 is already TASing Legacy, there's no reason for excluding it from the list of accepted hacks now. On the other hand, Metroid Redesign is better than Legacy in almost every aspect (well, except movie length, hehe), so it should be considered for adding, too, as all the physics engine enhancements it introduced, the level design and a lot of possible sequence breaks allow for a great TAS which certainly will get tackled by somebody as long as it is allowed for publication here. Redesign is a hack of SDW level of quality — furthermore, it's more like a new game, so it should have its fair share of attention here, in TAS community.

At least Megaman is straightforward. Doing the same for an action/adventure game would be really harder than going to the moon, cause you'll possibly need something like Blue Gene to analyze valid input combinations.

Cool. Then I suppose that Arachnus can be killed in two rounds, assuming that his morphball state isn't triggered by the damage dealt. But is it possible to hit Eye Core-X twice the same way? It would save a LOT of time.

Uh, what's with that horrible lag at Serris? Edit: Btw, is it possible to hit all the bosses with two missiles to save some time (ie. to hit Arachnus when he becomes vulnerable after the roll to kill him in two rounds if possible)?

That would require Bisqwit giving someone at least partial control over the funds the site generates.
Umm, wouldn't it still be better to give a trusted person some control over the funds than to have no funds at tall?

I think that pretty well every video game is weird. I mean, there's a game where an Italian plumber somehow winds up in a magical mushroom land and fights a giant turtle so he can change some anthropomorphic mushroom people back from stone to 'normal'. By the way, they have floating bricks there and if you pick up a flower, you can throw fire. Speaking of fire, balls of fire literally jump out of pits of lava, and there are long beams of fire that rotate around some of those floating bricks I mentioned before.

Excellent idea man! Here are the first ten games that have come on my mind. • Ancient Domains of Mystery/ADoM (or its fellow NetHack; both are PC/freeware) — not sure if they generally are weird, but both of them have tons of, well, really strange things (imagine a level full of the killer bunnies for example); • Carmageddon (PC/commercial) — well, it made a revolution successfully turning a racing game into something that doesn't actually resemble racing at all, not even a little bit. • Darwinia (PC/commercial?) — weird storyline and graphics. • Destruction Carnival (PC/freeware) — very funny Smash TV clone with ridiculous graphics and MIDI music ripped off some games like Mega Man, Super Metroid, Axelay and others. Probably win9x only. • Dungeons of the Unforgiven (PC/shareware? more like freeware, actually) — just look at the screenshots, and add this to the Honourable Mentions section ASAP! • Exile 1/2/3 (PC/shareware) — the series don't really look weird until you actually start reading some text messages and listening to the game sounds (Exile 1 splashscreen sound is just priceless), not to mention some monster sprites. All three games, however, are VERY cool, thoroughly made and really interesting to play. • Jumper! (PC/freeware) — a game with ridiculous story and, as a result, even more ridiculous main character. • RAM: Rural Anti-alien Militia (PC/freeware) — quite a moronic game with nice sound effects. Probably win9x only. • Sensible Massacre (Amiga/commercial) — more info here. • Triptych (PC/shareware) — a hybrid of Tetris and Bejeweled, based on a physics engine (that is, with gravity and control over the figures' movements).
