Is it going to have a better sound emulation than Kega? If so, dumping VGM must be added for OST rippers.

glitched runs of insane depths
If it completes the game, then it's a legit speedrun, not a concept demo (no matter how glitched.)
I'd love to make the vertical axis of tiers clear enough: Gameplay Speed Records. I always emphasize that TASing provides DIFFERENT types of enjoyment, that, if messed up, cause heavy confusion among both TASers and viewers. Watching a TAS people have fun of:
How the puzzles the gameplay internally provides get solved in the most unexpected way. You need to glitch things up to a CERTAIN level, to make the viewer go WOW WTH, but still be able to figure out what's going on by more precise watch (rewinding/frameadvancing in the emulator)
How everything can be JUST BROKEN CRYING FOR HELP. And the most incredible thing here is that you can do that to the game INTERNALLY, just with input.
How things can be farsightedly planned and executed. Item, life, HP management, wise route planning.
Now, what people involved into TASing seem to enjoy:
Setting a world record
Improving
Messing around
Wait what?? These are not the same! TASers and viewers like DIFFERENT things! Some TASers AT ALL don't care how the result looks! Some AT ALL wanth all Any% branches obsoleted by Glitched as long as they're faster. Wait what?? Something is wrong here guys.
We want the site to be the MOST ENJOYABLE, so why roll it down to stupid RECORDS ONLY? The first sense of TASing for me (since I became the TAS viewer) is TAS FASHION. We can sacrifise some fashion if one Any% run is improved by another Any% run. But not between different TAS TYPES. Some guys here were caught suggesting tripple obsoletions. Huh?
Conclusion:
Keeping the most intelligible runs in the MAIN (vertical) tier axis emphasizes what WE like of what we do - as viewers of our own TASes. That inspires people to put more attention to HOW IT LOOKS while TASing.
So, glitching everything up is kind of a SIDE tier, clearly thinking.

I also feel we have to add a true Demo tier for all sorts of messing around, rules ignorence, hacks and fucks, glitched runs of insane depths, as long as the audience LIKES the result.
Language: lua
if CommentsAppereciation >= CheckVal then Enjoyable end
if SubmissionVotes >= CheckPercent then Enjoyable end
if RejectReason then Reject
else
if not Enjoyable then Tier = Vault
else
if MessesAround then Tier = Demos
else Tier = Moons
end
end
end
Publish(Tier)
I don't know whether Playarounds should be preliminarily included into Demos (where the Glitched runs must settle IMO) or into Moons (unlikely for me). I think if we inspire experimenting, a part of that would be more Playarounds, and if we get enough of them, they can be moved to a separate tier. But first we need to bring up the idea that messing around is fun (accept SM GT code)!

But you don't need bighalo for freesub, since its halo is already adjustable (I use 2).

Напиши аделикату ЛС про сегу (звук и так ясно, там вроде каналы не все), векна работает над ней, но просили чтобы пока всему миру не рекламировали. Просто потесть как чо работает, а то я без бессмертия вообще не могу в них играть :D

Could you post a snapshot? I'm bad at testing others' scripts. Also I stopped using bitmap fonts for HD (haven't uploaded anything after that yet).

Wait, do we have Aglar's movie improved here?
EDIT: Watched. OHMYFREAKINGHELL this was impressive play around!! I'd moon that run for providing that intense run for such a shitty and hopeless game.

After the newcomer actually READS the rest, he understands it was a joke. Because this thought comes into nearly every head that first sees a TAS, thinking it is real time, then discovers it was played with savestates and gets disappointed. They are disappointed simply because they have NO IDEA of what actually TASing is. And I instantly explain that, no cuts.
My point was to prevent ANY disappointment: IT'S NOT REAL-TIME. But in a personal style of speaking, I HATE bureaucracy!

The page is going to surprise you. Its content is pretty audacious. But I will assure you guys, what I put there is EXACTLY what casual gamers need to know first about TASing. I was conversing with tons of them on that matter, showing them different TASes and explaining the SENSE. Most of them always wonder: Why at all? Why not just play the damn game? Why rape it? It's not raping. It's improving the idea we used to have about these games.

I'd want it to be a page with 2 tabs. The first is called "See" (with the newbie-rec module) and the second is something like "Explore" (with all kinds of info the newcomer may need).

Hey I'm not sure if this was overlooked or not (or if it was omitted because it looks ugly), from 10:40 to 12:37, you can skip the entire trip back by killing yourself in the river of fire next to the desert palace to save a bunch of time after talking to the password guy in the town where the king is sick.

Actually!!!
I can't understand why we forgot the most obvious one:
The legend:
1. What does the newcomer do when he arrives? He lurks around. He is interested. He has questions: "Where am I? What is this place?" So the icon represents that he must follow somewhere with those questions, to find the fair answers. "Interested? Bump me!"
2. First time you launch SMB you don't know what is inside those question boxes. Each one can be a surprise. And even when you play for quite some time, but haven't discover ALL yet, you still don't know what is inside the box.
So when you arrive at TASVideos for the first time, the icon is hinting about the site content: "Looks familiar, huh? You have NO IDEA of what you're gonna see!"
PS: This icon HAS to be animated (mine is of 8 frames, we still can get rid of a few more in the first half), to attract the full attention it can and to look REALLY awesome.
