I might just do that if this doesn't start working soon, Mothrayas. The problem is I have about 30 subscriptions I'll need to re-sub if I decide to do it. Youtube has had a giant mess of problems within the past few months. I have to wonder if it's some sort of transition period, like a series of patches for a game... except the patches just create more problems. Although, I've been having this problem for about a week now.

Wow I have NO idea where to go to try to fix this, so I went to a forum I had a tab open on :P. My Youtube account seems to have lost the ability to reply to comments. Like... just my account. I've tried different browsers, computers and operating systems (hipster linux user). The only thing that seemed to work was to make a new account. I reported a bug to Youtube but nothing happened. I do not want to use a new username! It uses my real name! IT USES... MY... REAL... NAME! That's fucked up! I need my old account back. Why is this even a problem? Is the ability banned for me? Is it a glitch? I don't even know where to begin! Update: Found this after typing in my query to google.com. "It's a bug on the video watch page. YouTube is aware of it. Go to the "all comments" page. The Reply option should function from there. If anyone else is having this problem, just do that." Update2: Wow, Ok. The all comments page doesn't work either. Just a new account that my real name on it *cringes*. I cannot look! This is cruel and unusual punishment, google! Do something!

I struggled with the the rotate the thumbstick games at first, but once you get the idea and the skill, you can beat the very hard difficulty computers every time, no palm required. They wear out the controller as well though. I am sure the other Mario Party games would make for great runs as well, but MP the first is really the only one I have extensive experience with. I played 2 and 4 briefly and I was not a fan of 4. I could probably still play all these minigames and not need the tutorial screen to this day. I once tried to do a run where I'd start with a fresh save and play each map with full play versus very hard computers. I wanted to see if I could beat the game only playing each map once. I don't think I could do it. I could win most of the time no matter how unlucky I got because I get 2 guaranteed stars by the end in the coin star and mini game star rewards but collecting 100 stars in that time would have been highly unlikely

I have read the whole MP thread now. Seems like there's more then just desyncs that were the problem. The game relies on preset numbers for rolling the dice. The mini-game island run was a cool though but it looks like people either gave up or postponed their runs indefinitely.

I assumed there would be a technical issue holding back a run like this. It sounds difficult and time consuming. It's been ages ago since I've actually played Mario Party, but I do remember the cutscenes being skippable pretty quickly. And don't get me wrong, 1-player Adventure Mode would be dull as hell and would probably backfire if the computer decides to do something STUPID and counter-intuitive like stealing goddam stars! 4 players cooperating in sync would just be so funny to watch as so much of the game revolves around intentionally ruining the game for the other players. *Roulette starts* *Lands on Bumper Balls* *Game starts* *All but one commits suicide immediately* *LUIGI WINS!* What would you do in a game like tug of war or that one rowboat one, I have to wonder. Maybe if you have a character with tons of coins that you'd like redistributed, you could use a 1v3 minigame to spread the wealth so that one character standing right in front of the star space can get it next turn. There is an element of strategy involved in the placement of each character in games like DK or Luigi's boards. You would want players spread across the board to optimize your chances of buying a new star as quickly as possible. I don't remember if the stars spawned in random spaces on the map or if there was a way to determine where the next star is going to be. So it seems the consensus is it would be a fun run to watch if it there were tools that made it possible.

Not sure how original it is. I made this account just to ask this and probably get shot down. I've seen so many TAS's now though the most fun to watch IMO is still Super Mario 64. After I saw the TAS of Sonic 3 and Knuckles where Tails was controlled as well, I wondered if you could use TAS for all sorts of hilarious runs. Prime example, MARIO PARTY! Where all 4 characters are used towards the prime objective of collecting as many stars as possible in the least amount of time to 100% the game. In my head, this sounds like a hilarious idea though I've had oddball ideas that only sounded good until I said it out loud. I have to wonder just how fast this would go. Obviously, you would use luck manipulation to get to the stars as quickly as possible. On a stage where there is a star space that jumps around, you could use all the characters to get them all faster then you would alone without risk of them getting stolen. Not to mention, the minigames would be hilarious. You'd just let the one with the least coins win every time. Then again, you would probably choose the games yourself using luck manipulation and just cash in on the most profitable minigames over and over again and spending them on stars the next turn. Just a stupid idea I had. I have to wonder why it hasn't been done before and thought I'd bring it to the forum =P
