Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

On the OoT page, it says that the HQ 4:57 is 3.24 GB, but on the download page, it says 3.25 GB. Not a big deal, but I just thought I'd point it out.

EDIT: Don't post about typos in comments. It is the runner's responsibility to submit error-free comments.

Well, as Manocheese posted the biggest typo ever, i have one thing of the same scope up my sleeves:
1) Press the game list link on the main site.
2) Choose to list all games alphabetically (ie. just press "View List)
3) Search for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross
4) Stare at this:

rotflmao.

best screencap ever.

and i'm sure that size "typo" is related to rounding issues. the html number is hard-coded, while the demo.pl number is generated in some manner. i'm sure radix will "fix" it eventually, though.

There's a big typo in the Zelda II page

The LQ version is labeled as 25.7 MB, when its 129 MB according to Archive (dls aren't working atm btw :-/).

Also, now that were on the subject of Typos, the PC Splinter Cell run at Archive.org was mislabeled- you put the GCN time and label for both(GCN)(PC). The files, comments and url are correct, but the Titles are mysteriously typo'd (they both read "Splinter Cell (GCN) - 1:32:16" then the correct names).

... as it slowly becomes clear to the general populace what a pain it is to update this site.

welcome to the machine

And then it grows and grows some more.

Yeah, large projects can be complete time sinks at times, especially if you're a perfectionist.

Psh. At least your game doesn't have a statid listing it for the wrong system. Tongue

wasn't that corrected the night of the update?

On the page, yes. On the video, no. Unless you redid it.

wow, that pisses me off. i guess i also make mistakes that cause radix a world of hurt too though.

Can you split the statid and the run and then paste a new a statid?

mp4box should be able to do it, might be easier with the YAMB gui.

nate

2006-08-26 09:27:31 pm

it's possible. it would be a lot of labor though because i would have to do it on all five qualities of both runs one at a time, then reencode the flash based on probably the redone hq. especially for the divx it would depend on a keyframe occurring the frame after the statid. you would think that would be no problem but especially in the lq that often doesn't happen.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

Since we're on the topic of typo's, I'd just like to point out that Banjo Kazooie was released June 29, 1998 and not in May of 1998 like the BK page states up top!!

Speed is the key.

I noticed that in the game list, the time for Quake 4 says: 2:09:54, but the time for the run is 2:02:35.

NES Mega Man- In the Game List it says it was released December 1986, but the first two words of the Description, as well as the Title's copyright date seem to contradict it.

Edit: Wow, that was fast! Grin
