Really boring, especially compared to a lot of the racing games that we already have on the site. On top of that, it seems that a few of the races could have been a lot cleaner/faster/more entertaining. Voting No.

Meh. It's a fast version of an uninteresting game.

Usually, TLAs get pronounced in their initial forms, while anything higher than three letters gets merged. I really hate when people say "fak" instead of "FAQ," since it's really easy to blur the meaning of the first.

They worked fine with VLC standalone. Thanks for the encode. The speed preservation tricks are really rad. I'm glad that people are still trying to pick apart the SM engine after such a long period.

This game brings up more questions than it could ever hope to answer. Why does Van Damme turn in to a spinning blade? Why did that solider rise out of the ground like that? Why is that super solider collecting gems? What is the rationale for being attacked by all of these mutant animals? Etc etc. It was fun enough to watch, though this was mostly to see how ridiculous the game was going to get. I have no real qualms with the game choice, and the playstyle was entertaining. Yes vote.

A lot of the complex tactics you'll be using seem to get lost in the haze of speeding through cards. One can't really appreciate how well you're doing when they can't even see what is going on until the final blow is struck.

Those smv links are useless without streaming media links as well!

You made a boring run shorter. Thanks, I guess. This run brings up three questions: 1) Does walking in a straight line for a certain amount of time actually increase your walking velocity, or am I just imagining that in the air ducts near the end? 2) Where were all of these armed guards in the movie? 3) Why would kicking a boulder cause a fossil to explode (with fire)? Anyways, Yes for an improvement.

What's funny about naming characters Mom and Dad?

Well, for PSX alone, I think that Ergheiz has a more entertaining dungeon mode. I'm fairly sure that it plays in a similar roguelike fashion, it can be manipulated to buff you up early on, and you don't HAVE to fight everything (that I know of). I would hope that you do have to fight at some points, though, since you simply skipping all of the action drained this run of a lot of entertainment.

That was a lot of the same thing over and over. It sucks that you put a lot of effort in to breaking this game's RNG just to have the result be so uninteresting. After the first 5 floors, I realized that not much more would be happening until the end, so I skipped that 5 minute chunk in the middle. Meh vote. There are better RNG dungeon games out there that you can run.

This was better than I thought a Spongebob game could be, but it was still way less interesting than the average submission. I'm caught between giving this an optimistic Meh or a weak Yes, but I guess I will go with the latter. Next time, try to pick a game that isn't too much of the same thing so much.

Yeah, I always did that after I figured it out. No need to play through one of the more boring bosses, right?

Meh. Too much of the same, even with the cool manipulations.

That doesn't sound so bad. All of those things could also be applied to Fabian, word for word.

First post! Seriously, aside from a mild attitude and a lot of whining about Willow not getting accepted, what did POR do? Is there IRC drama that I'm not aware about. If not, I don't see how anything could lead to this melodramatic exit on his part.

Very straightforward with a lot of fun action. The first boss was the best part. Yes vote.

ok e: There's nothing in his post history that stands out. Did he do something stupid aside from calling mmbossman a few nasty names?

Wow. This looked like one of the most fluid GB games I'd ever seen, so I went and played around with it. This run is really impressive compared to the actual game style. Everything was very fast, though the fluidity was a bit jerky from time to time. Yes vote.

I've always thought that X4 was a good game with too many slow points, but this proves me wrong (somewhat). I could still do without all the forced slowdowns, but this is really great either way. Yes vote.

There are too many great moments here to reference just one. This is an amazing superplay, and Angerfist is right to say that it probably deserves a star. Yes for this.

I don't like it when authors end input a frame early just to shave that frame. If I had been holding down any button when the file ended, I wouldn't have completed the game.
