rumors are that he used an emulator and saved game state every now and then
It's a fact, but it wasn't well known at first because his page is in japanese. And it's more than 'every now and then', more like every second or two.
I may not play them all the time, but they've all got there fair share... especially Metroid Prime heh. There's more I'd love to buy, but I don't know if I can afford to spend money right now. Help me PHEAA!:-\
There's only a few ps2/xbox games i'd be interested in, not enough to buy the systems even if they drop in price again. I'm far more interested in getting a game boy player to play GBA games on the cube instead of a ps2 or xbox.
The QdQ gags.
Some of them were down right silly:-p So silly in fact that I can't remember a damn one of them... it doesn't help that it's been almost 7 years egad!
Right, because you have to use the stupid Hungarian notation to make a windows program. I write windows programs and I hate the hungarian notition in the windows api, and I don't use it at all... an example:
if (x >= (b->xloc + b->xsize) || y >= (b->yloc + b->ysize)) continue;
You mean they didn't capture him months ago and keep it covered up to be revealed just before election next year? So much for the conspiracy theorists.
After I posted my Metroid Prime 100% speed run it spread around many sites in a few days (including games.slashdot) and the first part has gotten over 30k downloads. The downloads of all parts is only around 7k though, lots of people only checked out the first one or 2-4 parts and not the whole thing. Unfortunatly the first two parts are the most boring:-\
Watching the finished product is one thing, but I don't think anybody would have wanted to watch my record it. I'd spend 2 hours working on a segment only to mess up in a different way each time and restart way too often.
In MK64 it was rather obvious the computer was not playing the same game you were. You'd pass the computer with a starman or a super mushroom but despite the speed boost from those, the computer would still be right on your tail. Even if you got waaaaay ahead using a jump shortcut like on rainbow road, the computer would catch up! Is it too early to tell if this game still has this?
That's 'done' with a lower case d:-p We never could get people to write QdQ and not QDQ.
Anyway yeah, I was one of the original QdQ founders, so it should remind you of that:-)
Actually he quit playing because he didn't own a GameCube... he was playing on his roommate's, who moved out.
And I explained the 100% items or scans thing on the page... I guess even on the games section people dont RTFA?
Nothing... unfortunatly time doesn't affect the ending. Of course if it did, I think it would have been something like less than 3 hours for the best ending, because going the intended route takes just about that long!
Why didn't I finish more commentary before I made it public?
Title made me think this was about daylight saving

Take Back Your Time!

· Score: 1
Since the clocks go back this weekend for a lot of us I thought the title was about a movement to stop daylight savings times clock switching. I don't mind going back an hour now... extra sleep is fine, but I always hated losing one back in spring.
Well I'm posting from the *.cs.cmu.edu network and the privacy server is still responding to ping in 10 ms time... so it has not gone up in smoke, sorry;-)
Fighting games require fast reflexes to win against good players. If you'd have lag more than 25-50 milliseconds the game would not play right at all. That means the game would be limited to LAN play pretty much.
Racing games could probably deal with more lag, but after 150 ms probably not since when you get cars close together you need the fast reflexes again.
Strangely, chessmaster may just be the best console game you can have online for now:-\ Oh and rpgs and mmorpgs too.
If there's anything that our office sessions of Quake II taught me, it's that the best way to move about in any situation is to constantly run while incessantly jumping like a rabbit 6 feet in the air.
Of course bunny hopping is the way to get around in real life too;-)
As for the paper mario thing... the stuff i've read about it is not clear. They only say "paper mario is coming to gamecube". To me that sounds like the old game, not a new one. If you say "mario" is coming then you'd know it's a new game, but there's only one paper mario game.
To me it seems dumb that they would simply port the game to gamecube. I just bought the thing off ebay three weeks ago and got thorougly addicted to it. After eight days I finished it and my play time was 37 hours and 37 minutes... a nice coincedence for me. I'm replaying it now to try to find the rest of the items and do other challenges. But why release a game only three years old for a new system? A sequel would be a lot better.
They didn't use transparent aluminum to make the whale room, they gave the guy at the factory the formula in exchange for the stuff they used to make the whale room (probably just think glass).
I see no mention of how many copys are allowed from the ppl that wrote the law here.
Exactly, so where do they go off thinking "the copyright law allows one"?

For over 6000 Quake speed runs!
100% in 1:00 in mp4 format, recored on the real game.

What if you used radix 37?

over the Internet?
See sig...
if (x >= (b->xloc + b->xsize) || y >= (b->yloc + b->ysize)) continue;
MSVC++ seems to compile it just fine...

I'm from a lot more than that. Heard of Quake done Quick?

Doesn't help me know much where my school ranked, now does it?
