I really liked the group commentary for the run of Comix Zone that was just posted on SDA.

I kind of think that audio commentary should be made mandatory for submissions.

the community really could use a wiki to replace all of that. SDA's primitive and dated design is not necessary in the age of unlimited length Youtube. Mostly, people ARE doing it that way now, streaming their attempts and putting their really good ones on Youtube, maybe with commentary. You just have to know people's names and stuff, which makes it harder to get word out. Speedrunslive is really cool because it's designed to get amateurs interested and playing themselves, and its a clear place to go to discover streams and stuff.

Until youtube stops dropping everything to 30fps, this is still a valid complaint, especially on older games with alternating flicker effects.

They did stop--you can now at least upload 1080p stuff in 60fps and it will come up with an "original" option in the resolution menu.

I don't know if it works with lower resolutions, I wasn't trying to say it only works with 1080p (hence the "at least"). Maybe it's worth a try!

Considering you do TASes all the time, I thought you knew TASvideos does this all the loving time with their youtube uploads, since the ability to do it has been available.

Do old NES games run at 60fps?

I always assumed that they could get away with 30 since the hardware was considerably weaker and and the action tended to not be so tightly timed that 30fps would be noticable like an FPS today.

The Shatterhand video I uploaded last month got dropped to 30 fps. Stuff frequently disappears or looks solid when it should be flickering.

They have other reasons for that unrelated to the framerate, though. That's more of a case of trying to preserve the colorspace.

But the NTSC signals the NES puts out have already lost that information by the time it even gets to the capture device, so there's no point to it for a console capture.

Also the last time I did a TAS was like five years ago and I didn't even complete it so I think you have me mixed up with somebody else.

Oddly enough, 30 fps is far more common in the current generation than it was back in the pre-3d days. Most games back then were actually 60 fps.

Cosmo lost so much time that he was 2 minutes behind at Ganondorf. Then his power went out and mercy killed the attempt. In other news, someone anonymously donated $1,100 to Cosmo's chip in.

This isn't a big deal to a lot of people. Having a Youtube option would make the site more accessible for a number of people. People who dont like the JW player and dont want to download everything to their harddrive.

Cosmo was 6 minutes ahead with a perfect Wind Temple until he died during the zombie hover because his hand slipped.

EDIT: and that mistake ends up costing Cosmo the run due to the forest water.

I'm sure a Youtube embed option would be something that got added in a site redesign, but last I heard the official SDA Youtube account couldn't upload things longer than 15 minutes yet. And not everybody uploads their stuff to Youtube.

Though I'm curious what's wrong with the JW player other than it being tied to Flash?

If it's the player I think it is (the embedded player here?), it's just very inflexible. No pop-out, no size changes except for 1x or fullscreen (unless I'm missing something), very difficult to find specific times on very long movies. YouTube's player is amazingly robust, and I'd always rather watch stuff there.

I was watching this evening's Cosmo run out of the corner of my eye, muted, and wondered what made the Forest Water expire so early. Good (well, bad) to know.

If you click the link above the embedded video, it will bring you to a dedicated page with more size options (specifically 2x, 3x, and 4x). It still won't help you find specific times, though.

I think most of those are more configuration issues than anything else. That said, I would like to see a Youtube embed option if a redesign ever gets finished.

Six minutes ahead, almost done with dark rapture, and he killed over half his lead in the second warp zone. He's still a minute forty up, but he was drat close to a sub-2 hour run before that warp zone.

Still insane that he can 100% the entire game in less time than it took me to beat some of the later individual light-world levels.

Never even attempted to try the dark versions.

Oh definitely. I've slowly made my way through the game, playing only as long as my patience can tolerate, and still I can't get most of the bandages, and only fully beat the light world.

And he did beat his time by a minute and a half, by the way. He really wants to hit a sub 2 hour run, and he proved it possible, which is crazy.
