Our aim is to bring the LPing community together. It's our goal to offer help to anyone who strives to improve their own Let's Play's. If you've read to this point I'd say it's high time you join our little community. You'll be making new friends and improving your LP's in no time.

Sorry for not getting a run in for Hydrocity. My recording software is flat-out refusing to work now I've made the jump to Windows 7. I'll try and get a run for Hydrocity in together with my Marble Garden Zone run, but if not, I apologise in advance...

I'm assuming since I haven't heard from Sharky or Rainiac that they are done... it is quite a shame since that is two major competitors down, leaving only BMS, Kibatu, and myself in the running for overall win.

That is... unless I hear from them.

I'm really sorry to do this to you guys, but there's no way I can get a run done in time, so I'm gonna have to drop out. Chalk it up to a combination of a ridiculous amount of other, far more important shit to do, the fact that my new computer doesn't want to know my emulator, and the fact that the race just wasn't as much fun anymore. I might try and come back for Sonic & Knuckles, but don't bank on it. Once again, I can only apologise

I hate to hear that Rainiac, but I do understand. This is one of the longer challenges that's been going on, and I'm also starting to become a little bored with it (don't get your hopes up Mec, it's still on..>_>). Anyways, hope to see you back for S&K, but if not, it's been fun racing with ya Raniac!

I knew this endeavor would slay many in its wake... it is quite a task to take on. That's why I invited people to race for just one game at a time if they so desired as well.

I will announce that Kibatu has contacted me and dropped out as well, which means that there are only three competitors for the main race (if Sharky comes through with his zones, that is) otherwise it looks like it may end up just a head-to-head with me and BMS.

Here's hoping we have a lot of people pull through for the final stretch! I would love to see lots of fresh new victims faces joining in!

Sorry for the delay folks... shit's been going down here, and I've been waiting for Sharky to send me his MGZ time.

Anyway... Sharky got caught up, Rainiac and Kibatu dropped out which means that we only have four competitors right now. So I have decided to include ALL FOUR OF US in each feature video until we start the new game... isn't that neat?

Anyway, I didn't have time to make the graphic as I've been working like a dog lately at my REAL job, but I will post the results in TEXTp

Marble Garden Zone

1: BeholdMyStrength - 03:28
2: MeccaPrime - 04:06
3: Sharky2107 - 06:15
4: zigemm - 06:20

Sonic 3 Overall

1: BeholdMyStrength - 09:34
2: MeccaPrime - 10:00
3: Sharky2107 - 13:10
4: zigemm - 14:05

Sonic Megarace Overall

1: BeholdMyStrength - 44:30
2: MeccaPrime - 45:30
3: Sharky2107 - 56:40

I will actually make the graphics when I make the video - I just need Sharky to zip that to me!

While you are waiting, you can work on Carnival Night Zone which will have a deadline of 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, May 4th!

Holy shit...musta been that little shortcut with the lightning shield in Act 2.

Second, I've got a question about the Carnival Zone. I'm experiencing....a weird glitch to say the least. Act 1 runs smoothly, until I reach the boss. When I enter the room, Tails (what the fuck right?), shoots (yes, SHOOTS, as in break-neck speed) in from out of fucking nowhere. He then proceeds to just stand in the middle of the arena, not doing a damn thing except yawning at me, (so it's not like he helps me any.), and after the boss is beaten we both do our little victory pose. When Act 2 starts up, he just up and decides to fly off on his own..???? But that's not all. Just before the area where Knuckles shuts off the power, I get the "Tails just fuckin' died" sound effect, and when I arrive at the Knuckles/Power cutscene area, he flys back in, and, you guessed it, just fuckin' stands there no matter what I do. (As soon as the cutscene is over, he flys off again.). After that, he'll fly/swim onto the screen at random places throughout the Act, never actually doing anything, just trying to catch up. Weird thing is, he won't try to fly in all the time, and if he actually lands, then he just stands there regardless of where I go. He doesn't show up for the final boss fight, but immediately after, he lands, stands still and yawns. When I head towards the cannon, he stays on the bottom level, as the screen pushes him to the right, and when I jump in the cannon he dies, and doesn't come back, (for the end of the Act, as well as not showing up again in Ice Cap.).

Weird shit. I've tried a couple of different things, namely different ROMs, and it always happens, with only minor differences each time. Only thing I can figure is something in Act 1 is screwing up causing him to spawn in the boss area, but damned if I know what. Now finally the question. Since he appears randomly/doesn't do anything (except mock me with his yawning), is it acceptable for him to make his little cameo in this Zone?

Some freaky-ass shit.
As long as this glitch doesn't help you in any way, I say let Tails have his shenanigans.

Also, as for MGZ, you chose lightning shield while I chose fire shield... you obviously chose the right shield :V

e; actually, our act 2 times weren't too far off... it was our act 1 times that were nearly 30 seconds different.

Since there are only four of us left, I will be including all of us in each feature video until we get to Sonic and Knux. Sharky's video kept failing on him, so he told me to go ahead and make the feature video without him, but he is still in the race and promises to get his next run in on time so as not to slow things down again.

Also...

Damn... I'm impressed. My times are far from race-material, going upwards into the 8 to 10 minute zone. By the way, how do you guys prepare for your runs? Do you all have the maps memorized?

Edit: *sigh* I went on a recording run just to try it out, and it was terrible. I have a lot to learn before making videos. Angel Island recorded - though I have a ton of recordings to edit out. It bugs me how Act 2 tries so hard to throw you into the Collect the Spheres game.

Then when Hydrocity zone came around, not only did recordings somehow stop (I should probably set fraps's recording button to something other than "space"), I came across a ton of glitches with the Act 2 Boss. One try, I went so fast that I skipped the boss entirely and rolled straight up to the capsule thing. I opened it and the level didn't end. The boss fight was still going on, but I couldn't go back to that screen. Another round, I killed the boss and immediately ran ahead. The capsule wasn't there.

I've still got a couple issues to work out before I get any gameplay video up for any purpose. What I thought would be just fun ended up being very stressful, but I did enjoy it nonetheless. I've got a lot of respect for the skills you all have.

Angel Island Zone:
Act 1 - 1:30
Act 2 - 2:43
Total - 4:13

I usually check out a level map first and plan the fastest route possible, then I repeat it over and over and over for days until I have it just perfect. Then I record it over and over and over until I have that perfect run with little to no mistakes.

Also, don't forget that the deadline for Carnival Night is tonight and the only run I have is my own :V
