This is a short demo I made in about 25 minutes of fooling around with it for the first time.

Now for more juvenile humour.  Check out the kid that brought a bike to a skate park:

You know I haven't even tried it yet so I'm not going to pass judgment.

I was referring to the name.

Any jabs at Wii U have been solely at its name which I have tried [to get along with].

dude this completely just happened to me today as I was about to start playing L.A. Noire

lol

Also, coolkid maybe was chewing gum.

My school temporarily (and retardedly) banned chewing gum from classrooms. Once it was revoked, only the ban applying to the computer labs remained.

My girlfriend. If she's not there, Galaxy 1+2/DKCR/SMK/SMW/etc. and/or playing my piano + learning new songs with it helps a lot. Though, if I have a problem, I have pretty big trouble shifting it until it's solved.

Oh yeah, I listen to some songs that I like. Mario Stadium from Mario Sports Mix is good, and the wifi menu song from the same game.

RRoD is caused by having the console run for too long, correct? I never got my very own red ring, but I made my Wii die that way at least twice before figuring out that leaving it on while away for the weekend probably wasn't a good idea

Yes it was, actually. What's crazy is I've had my Wii on for... seriously months. Only thing that turns it off is when the power goes out which has occurred twice, and I turned it off when I was playing my 360 exclusively for a while (which I've stopped letting run because it heats up my room).

Also, Camping says it happens 6 PM local time everywhere, so even if he's right, Americans will have plenty of warning as reports come in from Australia.

However, if Camping is right about everything, then it's impossible to be saved after 1988 anyway, so it's kinda pointless.

Howeverever, if Camping were right about everything, the world would have ended multiple times already.

So no.

Speaking of him, I read an article somewhere where instead of saying he was wrong, he says he was simply wrong about the date out of nowhere and the rapture is supposed to occur on October 21.

Someone told me a Bible verse the other day:

Matthews 24:36 - But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Camping... glossed over that, I guess?

My 360 RROD --- Re-manfactured unit that I owned for 1 1/2 years.


BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE


Unlike seemingly every other 360 in the world, all I had to do was turn it off and turn it right back on, aaaaaand it's perfectly fine.

Over 20% of this forum's "members" have never posted. To be honest, I expected that figure to be much higher.

Speaking of which, it always seems like 99% of new members are only here for game help. It's usually a father named M4RIOGOOMBA asking how to get all the warp whistles. They post the question, get a response, and never post again.

I haven't been here for a while again (college), but it seems there's like ~40 active members, with about 10-15 of them being very active.

Game Help / Re: Super Mario RPG - Super Jumps Tutorial

Thanks a lot for the video! I just happen to be playing this game again and doing this exact thing. Now I know exactly how much room for error I have.

EDIT: I did it! This makes it the second time I got 100 Super Jumps in this game. Thanks a bunch!

Good stuff. You're very welcome.

It's helping out people more than I expected! I think having that tiny, subtle thing that messes people up illustrated and explained did the trick.

I dunno if I can discuss troubleshooting in here or not, but I didn't want to create a whole new topic over one single problem.

Though, my problem is huge in scope, and it's prevented me from running Minecraft for quite some time. I'd really like to play it.

Game Help / Re: Super Mario RPG - Super Jumps Tutorial

« on: May 09, 2011, 05:32:56 PM »

Very good video.  Thanks.  Did you estimate the bar levels based on practice or specific code for the height/speed at various jumps?  Also, what did you record the video with?

Thank you!

I did it by trial and error. I tried to test how off I could get with the timing before it knocked me off, and then over time I built up an awareness of where the timing bracket was. The one thing I knew going into it was that the final timing change required you to press Y after a certain amount of jumps as Mario was obscuring a bit of the enemy, and not right before (like anyone's natural gaming senses would tell them.) It's almost like a lag behind Mario of when to hit Y because the press must occur while he is on top, which, as the video describes, is about two or three frames.

I captured the video using a Dazzle DVC-100 capture card. It costs around $50 bucks and is decent. All the videos on my channel that have gameplay were captured with the card, and I have a quality test (and other vids) demonstrating how games look including SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, and 360. Two cons, if you're considering purchasing a Dazzle of any sort: make sure you have a lot of space in your destination folder (for your clips) before you capture. Otherwise it'll jitter and/or get out of sync. When mine started jittering, I had 34GB of captured crap I didn't need (200 megabytes per minute of recording, I believe). Once I cleared the folder out, it was fine. Second con is the editing software is a glorified Windows Movie Maker (and I despise WMM).

Sexy special effects in that video. Good job, man. My Super Jump record stands at about 70, if I remember correctly.

The low-quality tutorial took about ten minutes to load when viewed in 240p. Is that bad for a high-speed connection?

Thanks!

And wait are you kidding me? Sometimes Youtube screws up, but that's insanely slow. It took 44 seconds for the entire video to load in 720p for me. Hold on, okay, so I just tried loading it in 240p to check... uhhh, it's loading really slowly for me too. That's weird.
