Ive done my hardest, got to world 8, got a freaking awesome score as fast as I could (speed ran every level), and my score, using their formula was only 300k. so having 580k points and having to go to 300k points, and yet still get 467k or so to BEAT the champ, yeah, I would rather play some marble madness
thesubcon3:
Hell yeah Marble Madness is an amazing game as well! Just remember though that the formula doesn't go into effect until you beat the game twice. So basically if you scored higher than the current champ and both of you didn't complete the game, your higher score would be #1.
Now if someone else actually does make it through twice, then that person would be automatically above anyone who didn't complete it. And from there is when the formula is used because the time the game is completed in isn't factored in if the game isn't completed. Ya Digg?
ShoothimNow:
Speed running every level grants more points than warp zones, seems a little unfair to say that those who use warp zones to complete the game faster are rewarded more.
I understand if Mario is standing there and collecting every coin and breaking every box, so I shall contemplate on recording again. Though I would have to upload at least 3 videos to youtube due to the 10 minute time limit
thesubcon3:
Using warpzones you won't have nearly as high of a score then if you played all the way through. But if you can't beat the game going all the way through then you need to make a choice of when and where to take a warp to bypass any levels you may get stuck on. Strategy is where it's at!
As for hosting, I wouldn't recommend youtube for longer videos. I use blip.tv for anything over 10 minutes. Then if you have a large youtube following, you can post a link to blip on your youtube in the form of a promo video. But for recording gaming footage blip is perfect. I have also had one guy send me a zip file with the video in it, which is fine as well.
