Okay, so....
We've got India, China, France....wait, no, not right.
So anyway, I'm still alive, as always. Presumably, this is preferable to being dead, and who am I to argue?
So I guess mega-conglomerate MTV Networks has their own Youtube type of site called ifilm. As some of you probably know, one of my geekish hobbies is performing speed runs of various video games, more specifically NES games. So I'm checking the SDA forums and notice I have a new private message. Apparently my Battletoads run got the attention of ifilm and they wanted to use it on the site, so I said "ok". You can see the young speedrunning section of that site here.
I don't necessarily expect the run or myself to get more publicity as a result of this--presumably, SDA is still the "go-to" site for this sort of thing--but it is pretty cool that something tangentially related to MTV (Regardless of what I think about the current status of the network that started it all) recognized the run, especially given any number of other quality runs (Either on more famous games, or runs where the quality of the play is better than mine) they had to choose from.
So that was pretty neat.
