I was over at the Steam forum looking around, while I remembered a video I saw of some one playing Mario 3 in something like 11 minutes. Doctored or not, I made a reference to Half-Life. I claimed that when you jumped in mario 3 and pressed down was the orgination of the crouch-jump. But All anyone could do is bitch and whine that the video is a fake.

Why can't people accept entertainment for entertainment?

Check out the thread: Origination of the Crouch-Jump

I don't think you'll get a satisfactory answer to that one. It's just the way people are. For your own sanity, just stay the hell away from the steam forums. :smile:

That video's okay, but if you have 2 hours, this set is even better:

They aren't really that mad at you.

Then again, anybody who uses Steam is bound to have pent up a lot of rage and frustration.

I never said they were mad at me, Cass. They can go eat a c#ck for all I care, it was just annoying.

Also. . .I use steam and I have no pent up rage I have frustration from morons who expect you to do everything for them:

Get it your self assmonkey!
As for me using steam, everything works fine, however I've noticed everyone who plays counter-strike is bitching their balls off, I don't play it so . . .

Hey, remember when people could spell the word 'THE'?

Anyway, I'll check out that video, in bursts, hornpipe.

I must say this is one of the most intelligent communities on the net in regards to gamming (and in general). (a.k.a. sanity returned)

Hee I've seen the mario movie too. It's kinda sad that anyone would spend that long on such a simple game. Unless of course they wrote some sort of AI for it.

Thanks man, thanks. . . . . .lol

Yeah, at this point, I don't really care though (even though that question wasn't directed at me) Think about it, to study mario 3 and make a video that close to games actual game play deserves credit alone, maybe not as much credit as being a badass in the firstplace, but quite a bit nonetheless.

Newfangled Tetris games... I guarantee several of those moves are impossible in classic NES or Gameboy Tetris.

I think it's level 9 because the last I saw it was '803' and the first level started at '000'.

I'm assuming that the game speed is set to uber fast though (death mode). I feel sorry for the poor guys thumbs afterwards, unless they were robotic hands, and it was actually a computer doing the thinking (aha!)

yeah, however, at the very beggining it seems to be normal and the video speed speeds up about half-way though. . . Maybe its for the sake of the viewer, so they don't get bored?

I thought the speed increase was due to 'leveling up' to make the game harder, no?

No, if you look at the right half of the video you can tell its being sped up. He's moving unnaturally fast, and there's no or little blur (I can't remember which).
