#2037: DarkKobold's SegaCD Dragon's Lair in 10:45.65

Vote: Did you like watching this movie? (Vote after watching!)

Submission Text Full Submission Page

Headed directly for Gruefood Delight - Quicktime event games are NOT suited for TASing.

This takes zero time to make - and can not be greatly optimized, due to relying completely on video.

Bios is scd2_9306 - Will desync otherwise.

If you're just instantly cancelling a submission, why bother?

I think he's trying to do the same thing that FerretWarlord was trying to do with http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1630.

Because, it is an interesting movie to some, it will eventually be submitted, if not by me, than by someone else, and everyone will say the same thing - it's not that different from a real-time playthrough. Plus, since alden now maintains gruefood delight- I thought it would be the best place for it. Additionally, since I don't believe it deserves publication - I didn't want everyone thinking I was trying to actually considering it would get published.

Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

And you couldn't have simply made a thread in the relevant forum instead of adding another nowhere submission to the queue..? If that is the case, you might as well have let it a) die on its own via rejection, or b) simply told alden about it and had him add it despite it not being gruefood. But whatever.

While a) goes against the entire idea of this submission - b) is a very viable option, and I wish I had thought of that first. Additionally, the only thing this hurts is arbitrarily increasing the # of submissions on the site - it doesn't bog down the actual queue, because it left the queue extremely fast. I also personally wanted to see this TAS, and others might too. Sorry if it offends anyone.

I'll definitely watch this when I get home and get this new SegaCD thing running. At least by doing it this way it's now indexed on the site and can be found via the main page search.

Sweet! I'm excited to watch this... And yes, I'm glad you submitted it, even if only to cancel it immediately. As Tombad points out this puts it into the database and makes it more a "part" of the site. Ultimately I'd like to see Gruefood Delight or something similar incorporated into the site proper, as opposed to being my own vanity project :) Edit: Oh yeah -- You're the man DarkKobold!

Yes vote Am I imagining things, or did the arcade version start differently? Also: I think this game probably has the highest chance of any to have a "perfect" movie -- heck, this one might be already :) I'll post it in Gruefood Delight in a bit.
