The Cutie Re-Mark: what would happen if Twilight never went after Starlight in the first place? would Starlight simply be gone? edit: to be a time loop like It's About Time, the whole world would have to change around them, and Twilight would have to also change immediately. Spike would be elsewhere. possible future episode: that time travel scroll was sucked into the portal. did it end up back in time near the place where Fluttershy met those animals?

youtube added some format codes for 60 fps
_IkHFZSKn3I
fmt         file ext  resolution  note
298         mov       1280x720    DASH video 2032k , h264, 60fps, video only, 1.32MiB
299         mov       1920x1080   DASH video 3199k , h264, 60fps, video only, 2.09MiB
302         webm      1280x720    DASH video  991k , VP9, 60fps, video only, 659.72KiB
303         webm      1920x1080   DASH video 1493k , VP9, 60fps, video only, 993.53KiB
not every video gets both h264 and VP9 formats for some reason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SRTEXSpcyI right now, and looking at the Titanfall video, it seems like 60 fps is only available if you're loading the DASH streams (fmt 136, 137, 247, 248) 136 mp4 1280x720 137 mp4 1920x1080 247 webm 720p 248 webm 1080p on https://www.youtube.com/account_playback , selecting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" will default to fmt 18 (mp4 360p) or 243 (webm 360p) I don't know if they will change 480p, 360p, 240p, or non-DASH formats to allow 60 fps YouTube's DASH has separate audio and video streams, and multiple segments of video that must be requested individually, YouTube's player will automatically switch resolutions in the middle of playback depending on how far the grey bar gets ahead of the red bar, or if the red bar completely gobbles up the grey bar.

Greyed out lines mean that button press was ignored rather than sent to the emulator. It made the start button pressed less often so that there would be less stalling, but then the ledge happened. After that, start button became unrestricted and it was used to remove random chunks of inputs from the act of walking to get past the ledge.

found this very entertaining! reactions at AGDQ added to it. Twitch archive of this run: http://www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda/b/492923053?t=10h20m20s Twitch archive of the whole TAS demonstration at AGDQ 2014: http://www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda/b/492923053?t=9h48m35s (setup time) 480p, 360p and 240p can be selected by clicking "Best" after the video starts playing, but this option is not always available for some reason.

What if the Pi's video output (or a small portion of it) would be added to the AGDQ stream to present information to the audience? you could use it to show button presses, playing status, and a stopwatch that automatically starts when playback starts.

tried other emulator movie formats. very little luck. these movies play multiple games at once and make goa music (fm2 files sound vaguely like goa music to me) musics. very few smv files even made a sound. this dolphin savestate made some nice tunes these will hurt your ears. random log files... (dunno what wintail.txt was, but *.dump is from amaurea's super metroid ghost recorder). speaking of log files, apache logs makes cool glitch music also, emulator exe files are not musical enough.

I've watched a bunch of youtube videos about this and this is what I've gathered. you're paying for them to operate your computer remotely with logmein support.me or ammyy and run a bunch of free anti-malware scanning tools (they prefer logmein because they can send and run executable files directly through the remote control connection) they could be doing anything to your pc during the remote control session. the phone call always starts with some nonsense spiel from a script which is the first scare attempt. it includes directions to open windows event viewer which is the second scare attempt. the next stage is connecting the remote control tool and if that works, random free scanning/cleaning tool are ran (varies between different scammer groups. there could be a hidden payload in the executable files that were sent) next stage is closing the deal, they call it a free software maintenance subscription and it costs a lot of money (50-200 usd). they insist that it is free and is an annual fee at the same time. the remote control guy will launch a url/browser with some site that allows you to give them money using a credit card. note that the remote control connection is still active, so they can watch the form being filled in. I've noticed in this video that the person entered garbage into the billing form, and then the remote control guy promptly ran msconfig and turned off all windows services and set safe boot with command line so that windows will run in a barely operable state. http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/02/scamming-scammers-catching-virus-call.html

Cr1TiKaL. his videos are either mock trailer or gameplay and commentary has quite a bit of swearing in it though

the subtitles disappear too soon, but I used youtube's interactive transcript. the text stays put there until the next line is triggered to show. it also auto-scrolls.

On another note, somebody needs to add this script to a run that presses buttons a lot. I'd be very interested in seeing that!
Did you have any runs in mind?

I can't play a game on some server because it demands a lower ping from me.
