New Timing Method

You may notice all the times on the leaderboards have been lowered. The timing method has been changed. Time no longer ends on the final picture after credits; instead, it now ends when the screen goes black after the laptop scene.

The main reason for this is it's a bit difficult to accurately time the last picture, since (if it is done quickly) there is no visual cue, and the only cue is the camera noise, and some submissions do not have sound. Some past submissions as well have used the new timing method, and cut the video before credits, making it previously unverifiable.

This was an agreed decision by both mods (me and Shadnic). If anyone has a disagreement with the change, feel free to voice it. Good luck on your future runs!

The easiest for accurate timing would probably be what I did where I mapped the middle mouse button to split in LiveSplit and used it to take the pictures in-game (works just like a normal left-click), then ending time on the last click (second "BE SCARED. BE ANGRY.").

That's not technically the end of the game though, and many older/cheaper mice might not be able to click the mouse wheel, so I support this method. The mouse animation on the play button was only 1 frame behind LS on my vid and the boards only accurate to seconds, so that makes no difference.
