I am wondering... Is everybody in the Netherlands that rude and impolite?
The link you gave to the Metroid Legacy site isn't working for me. I keep getting the '404: Page Not Found' error.
I tried the one on left of that one too, Metroid Limit, but it was impossible for me to complete without savestates and slowdown. It's not really a good modification, new games is always fun to play, but there was to many ways to die and make a wrong turn and not being able to get back.
Yeah I admit that I wasn't thinking of this at the time, but you are right. (Sorry for being a typical American :\ )
To me, NTSC seems more desireable to TAS simply because 60fps is more to work with than 50, so more can be done on the frame-by-frame level. (Of course, I'm from the US, so it's what I'm used to as well) However, there are some situations such as Rygar or Super Metroid where it's exploitable in the opposite direction, so I guess it's tough to say which is "better", but I'm using (JU) for my 100% run.
I think we ought to use U.S. ROMs whenever possible. Although text isn't usually a major component of games, English text will be readable by the greatest number of people. More people speak English as a first language than Japanese, and far more people speak English as a second language. It's as close as there is to a universal language. It's the language of this website and these forums, despite the large number of people whose mother tongue is not English. Since both the U.S. and Japan use NTSC, many games are (JU) anyway, and the major difference between a (J) and (U) is the text. Unless there's a compelling reason to use a different version, I suggest sticking with U.S.
[...] to me, glitches that rely on the fact that European games operate at a different framerate are as dumb as using a ROM that is hacked to make that door stay open longer. Why? Because when someone sees that and says "how did they do that?" you can reply with "they used a different version of the game", and suddenly, all the coolness evaporates.

There's no such thing as a flying spaghetti monster.
Grammar police: Just an FYI, a name can't be "pretty unique" or "fairly unique". Unique means one of a kind. A thing can only be one of a kind or not one of a kind; therefore it can only be unique or not unique. I'll let you off with just a warning this time.
That graph is great, except... Oh no, they're trying to cram three forms of data into a two-dimensional graph! And the years ought to go on the horizontal axis, not the points!
A Star Trek browser theme? Neeeeeeerd! :)
I doubt Google has a nefarious plot to keep Google Video from the French. I don't know anything about the situation, but I think it's a reasonable supposition that Google offers different services in various nations because of local laws. (For example, they obey Chinese censorship laws and rebranded Gmail in the UK.)
Yeah, I don't get that. I thought the internet was supposed to transcend country boundaries and all that stuff. Plus, it's Google, they should know better. If it was some sleazy TV station like showtime it wouldn't bother me very much, but Google? Come on, you have got to be kidding me...
How can they discriminate by country? That's crazy!
Why not? What does it do?
Thanks for your interest in Google Video. Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country. We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.
Am I the only person here who speaks only one language?
There has been a good year so far! http://www.wimp.com/punchout/
>In any case, is it just me, or are there lots of people here with Japanese as a second/third/... language? Rather interesting... ^^ Dromiceius commented on that earlier in the thread... >What do you expect? We're nerds. :)
french / english both well since i live in a bilingual place where you pretty much need both languages to get by
Yes like I said, it's not wrong, I just wanted to nitpick. I'm EXTREMELY anal when it comes to Icelandic grammar and spelling. I didn't want to come off as rude or anything, hope I didn't.
I would nitpick and say it should be "það gamla" (the old [stuff]) instead of "allt gamalt" (everything old), but that wouldn't be nice, or would it? It's the traditional way of saying because it flows better (don't know the English expression, it means it is easier on the mouth to say it), not because it's more "right". I think...
What does that mean ?
You're probably right about esperanto... Though i do not know anyone who speak that language... nor do I know a place where you can learn it... I only speak english quite well and a very little bit of german... my native language is french... By the way : Bonne année 2006 ! to everyone...
I think all three courses should be included. Else it just half done in my opinion. And also I really would like to see this done! So keep it up! Awesome.
