Not sure how different the Steam version is from the web-based online version. If you bought the game on the official website email SVGS at hello@alexjonesgame.com using the same email you used to purchase the game with and they will send you a Steam key for free. (The devs themselves said they were not expecting Valve to allow the game on Steam so it's nice of them to hand out keys so you don't have to buy it twice.)

Because when people say "McDonald's" they either pronounce the Mc as "Mick-Donalds" or "Mack-Donalds".

It took me far too long to figure this out on my own.

Like to make it a "meme" run? Just validated three runs today which is a lot for a relatively unknown game like this.

Hey everyone, looks like the previous moderator deleted their account on speedrun.com (?) so either they appointed me as Cosmic Spacehead's moderator, or the website automatically gave it to me because I was the only other person on the leaderboard or something?

I am not sure. Got an email this morning that there was a new run awaiting verification and was like "wait a minute that's not my game".

So uh, a little bit about me. I usually moderate very simple games and all that, don't have a lot of free time, and I have some emotional issues that need some working through. Cosmic is a game that takes like an hour to beat -- so if it takes me a little while to get to your submission please be patient with me. I promise I am trying.

Thank you, and good luck to everyone running the game! May the Luk-E-Day Machine forever be in your favor!

All four of the Crimson Room series of games are available on www.fasco-cs.net.

This is not the original website from back in the day, it is a fan recreation made to look identical to it. The author went through the trouble of cracking all of the Flash files to remove their URL checks so they can now be played on this website (instead of trying to reach the servers of the former fasco-csc.com which no longer exists).

As long as you have a browser that is able to play Flash content you should be able to play all four of these games, including the part in Crimson Room that requires you to find the safe combination!

I recently did a run of the "Beginner" difficulty that I will be submitting soon, but I noticed there are no leaderboards for the other difficulties in the game -- just wanted to know if there are plans to add them, as I was thinking about stepping up to Intermediate at some point.

NanoQuest can be downloaded from archive.org here: https://archive.org/details/Nanoquest

In order to get this game to work on your computer you may need to run it in "compatibility mode" for Windows XP SP3. Alternatively, you may run the game inside a Windows XP virtual machine, however if you choose to do this please submit your runs to the "VM" leaderboards.

KNOWN BUGS/PROBLEMS -- Do not press the "V" key while playing the game. It appears to try and call a routine that was unfinished or taken out of the game and it will crash the program. -- Pressing "S" on the first stage will disable the skybox and other textures.

Q. Why two leaderboards? NanoQuest runs substantially slower on a virtual machine than a native OS and as such a run performed with a VM would not be able to compete with a time submitted from a non-VM attempt.

Q. This game doesn't work! I don't know what to tell you. NanoQuest was designed on and for Windows XP and it doesn't seem to like any other OS. Although it "works" on Windows 10 with compatibility mode options enabled, random crashes have been reported to happen in the final stage. We have not been able to consistently replicate these problems.

Q. Why won't my LiveSplit timer start? You will need to run LiveSplit with administrative privileges in order for your global hotkeys to work.

Q. Why RTA times only? The in-game timer is unreliable and affected by the game's framerate. Additionally, the game frequently messes with the timer in most of the levels. In levels 1, 4, and 5 falling off of the stage incurs a +30 second penalty. In level 2 the in-game timer freezes when you enter the "Nano Gallery". In level 4, if you collect all of the bonus items and use the warp portal you will be sent back to the start of the stage with the in-game timer reset to what it was when the level began originally.

So I've been thinking about what to call the "100%" category of this game since it's not technically a true 100%. Because there's 51 stages in the game and the "100%" route only lets you complete 50, how about we take a page from the Super Mario World community and rename it "50 Exits"?

Also, would it be worth it to maybe add a "Bonus%" category for completing the five stages unlocked with the password from the credits? Since the speed shoes basically invalidate many of the puzzles and intended level solutions in the game, what about a "No Shoes" category too?

I genuinely thought the hacky sack minigame was just some stupid thing that the game "devs" hamfisted into the game because it was a bare bones basic "game" that someone had thrown together.

I appreciate it, otherwise my run would've stuck out like a sore thumb and been at the bottom of the Any% category for sure. Now it can be at the bottom of the new UNCOLA% category! XD

(Also I'm only pointing this out because I'm never going to be able to not see it, but the leaderboard category is actually misspelled as "UNICOLA", with an I.)

It looks really nice. The Speedrun.com logo is really clever. :)

Hi, new prospective SM64 runner here and I just wanted to get a few things clarified before I make any official attempts. I've read the "Rules" pop-up and the points outlined there are understood.

Obviously, I know cheating of any kind is not permitted, but I am curious to know what else could be grounds for a rejected submission?

What I mean is, what are things that I could do during a run that would invalidate it?

Am I permitted to check a guide? Am I allowed to pause the game at any point? I know these things waste time, but I am not looking to dethrone cheese05 overnight. Baby steps.

I am also curious about the SM64 community's thoughts on "obnoxious" stream overlays, such as graphics or text that pop up for new followers, bits, etc. If something obscures the game visuals is that okay? And if so, how much of the game can be obscured by a notification or pop-up before it's a problem?

Thank you all for taking the time to read my concerns. I apologize if they seem a bit strange, but in my time as a runner of various games I've run into some really bizarre do's and don'ts. Like I said, I just want to make sure I get things off on a good start and don't have any verification problems with my first run (whenever I eventually submit it).

edit: This is for a 120 star run, by the way.

I know XSplit has an option to automatically split recorded videos at a user-defined file size, but is there an option or hotkey or something that will let me make that split whenever I choose?

Right now the only solution I have is to stop the stream and then restart it again to force the break in video, which is not ideal for viewership.

Me personally? I gotta go with the spicy chicken sandwich.

I use a Logitech HD C920 USB webcam within my stream. It's connected via USB 3.0. Formerly it worked fine, however after setting back up after 6 month hiatus the video feed will periodically lock-up. This usually will fix itself in a couple of seconds, but sometimes the feed will freeze and will require me to unplug the camera and plug it back in to "reset" it. Obviously, this is undesirable when it happens in the middle of a run.

I record audio through a Yeti mic which is fine. Additionally, I also sometimes use a crappy Xbox Live Vision Camera which also works fine. In fact, if I place the Xbox camera and the Logitech one on the same layout in XSplit the Logitech one will continue to periodically freeze while the Xbox camera experiences no problems.

I've tried switching out the USB extension cables used on the Logitech camera, as well as not using any extension cables at all, and nothing seems to affect the issue.

Does anyone else here have (or had) this issue, and if so how did you fix it? Thanks :)
