Also should be avoided, lol. Are the Germans still dropping bombs at random intervals without warning? Bummer dude, I thought they grew out of that. This guy has a pretty good tutorial for this sort of thing:

Social services might be able to help you out. Student hostels can also be useful if you don't have a car you can stay in or a friend that will let you stay there.

I'd make sure you have a bag packed just in case. Homelessness is no joke, man. That sun doesn't wait for you to find a place to stay, and it's one of life's biggest ironies that the people that need help the most are the least likely to get it. I lived in my car for a year to get out of my dad's control back when I was in college. I remember walking into this restaurant and telling them I didn't even want money; I'd help them out if they would just pay me with food. It was the most humiliated I've ever been, but I never stopped fighting. Five years later, I'm working as a software dev for Amazon in Seattle, so don't stop fighting.

Hey, I've been working on doing the Expert levels. (I know I said I'd require a bit of mountaintop training with monks, but it turns out to be not as bad as I thought it would be) The way I do it, I keep some quick notes for which ways to go when it forks, but otherwise, for every "room" you enter, try to visually associate it with a set of moves to get past it, just practice it until you remember the pattern. If you run out of oxygen tanks, it will reset the level, so you can redo levels as many times as you need to get it down. You should try it too- it's not as difficult as it first seems, I promise (and I could use a little competition :-P )

Hey, the trophy icons are pretty cool. I'm a gooby, lol. I might try to get closer to a minute just so I can be a pink star..

Hey guys, would you mind making me a mod too? I've been trying to be a bit more active on this site, and I'm probably going to be submitting some more runs for the other stages (and maybe some of the "no chimps" runs). I figured I could save you a bit of time with those (and I kinda love this game)

What does CTR stand for?

Hey, another retro gamer! Hello and welcome to the site!

Hey now, I'm a few months shy of 30 myself... that's not too old, right guys? Right?...

Gigguk explains it pretty well (if you replace "anime" with "video games") I think it's something that will always be a part of us and it will always draw people like us together.

What are you looking for, then? Specifically?

I have a mac too, and the only way I've gotten Llanfair to work on mine is to go to the settings menu, go to keyboard icon, and make sure the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys..." is unchecked. This will turn off all the normal mac functions associated with the "F" keys (make screen brighter, make keyboard brighter, etc.), so there's no interference. I should probably make a video for how to set this stuff up on macs, because getting OBS to record audio on macs is also kind of a huge problem.

I think you might get a more definitive answer posting this in the game forum, especially since it sounds like the timer is specific to that game.

Now that I've seen it, this run is actually quite impressive. Well done.

It's not that we think your run isn't worthy, but that this is a unique strategy for this game. It looks like the moderator threw it into a miscellaneous category because it was a unique situation and he wasn't sure what to do with it, not because he thought it was inferior or that you cheated. Regardless, I think your run deserves to be in the any% coop category, at least until runs of your style become more popular for that game.

Even if you delete them from this site, though, aren't the videos still out there? Because the videos are linked to external sources rather than uploaded, the videos aren't necessarily gone. If you know what to look for, they should still be out there. A quick youtube and twitch search for speedruns of a certain game should net most if not all of the missing links unless I am misreading the question?
