Umm... shouldn't the name of this forum be "SDA News & Site Suggestions?" (Damn, I hate that quotation mark rule.) I mean, we aren't suggesting news.

SDA (Site & News) Suggestions, not SDA Site & (News Suggestions)

SDA News & (Site Suggestions) wouldn't work either, as there's a news page for that.

Furthermore, this forum does suggest stuff related to the current news, even if it doesn't suggest news directly (which is what news suggestions means, as far as I know).

I think they mean that the way it is implies "news suggestions and site suggestions" instead of "site suggestions and news".  I'm not sure which one is actually meant, though.

Edit: Darn, I got beat to it...

Oh no, I'm double posting!  Anyway, I just noticed something on the Final Fantasy III page.  About timing, it says, "Game's timer is referenced at its last visible point, then real time from then to final damage numbers appearing is added."  However, in my run there are no damage numbers that appear on the final boss, since I use an instant death attack on him.  I don't know how you want to fix this (or even if you want to fix it), but I thought I'd point it out anyway.

I'd suggest either time until the end of the final attack, or the beginning of the boss' death animation if there are no damage numbers.

Yay, for double posting!  Here's a nice list of minor typos and inconsistencies for game pages starting with A.  I'll get through the rest as I have time and update this post as things get fixed.

It doesn't mention that it's a segmented run with 12 segments.

Jade Empire's time is 2:57:06 at his own page
and timed 2:41:xx at game list page

I am confused
what is the right time? Please

2007-11-11 08:15:45 pm
It is 2:57:06. I was the one who pointed out the error to Nate. 2:41:xx is the time given by the last autosave, which is inaccurate.

In the last sentence of my comments for my Felix the Cat run, my e-mail address is shown like this: "egmlover AT hotmail DOT com".  Is that normal?

Eeeeyah!
On the Secret of Mana  page it says that he did the run on the PAL (French) version of the game. Yet it says:

Best time: 5:15 by Frank 'Seiken' Cid on 26.08.05 in 8 segments.

While it should be:

Best time on PAL version: 5:15 by Frank 'Seiken' Cid on 26.08.05 in 8 segments.

Edit:

On the index for N64 games it says that the best time for Yoshi's story is 0:23:01 (European version.) While the American version is 0:16:48, which is about 5 minutes faster. There for the American version should be showed on the index.

Edit2:

On the Legend of Zelda page it says that it was released in July of 1987. While it was really released in August 1987.

Edit3:

On the Super Paper Mario page it says that the game was released on March 2007. But it was really released on April 2007.

Edit4:

On the Super Mario World 2 page it says that the game was released on August 1995, that's the Japan release date. The US release date is October 1995.

We get our release dates from a pdf at nintendo.com, so loz is right. The other two do seem to be typos though...

I think they removed the pdf.  I can't find it anymore.

Speed is the key.
The gamelist says that the time for F.E.A.R is 1:15:55 (which is the time for the extreme run), when it should say 1:06:56.

Also, if you select "PC" from the dropdown in the gamelist, "Lion King, The" is listed there alongside the PC games.

Sarou's right, there is a PC version of the Lion King, and it's exactly the same as the SNES and Genesis versions.

The date of completion is July 4, 2007, but it is supposed to be July 31, 2007 (the SDA game page is correct).

That's because the game is only timed in in-game days.
