Can we please have a policy whereby YouTube links are disallowed unless someone posts a summary (or at least a list of the good bits) for us dialup users?

This week, on LANCER PONDERS:
<lolilover> I notice alot of Japanese fiction involving kemono-mimi characters always has the main character saving an innocent animal and then the animal returns as a girl to reward him for his kindness.
<lolilover> Well there's a cat that is always wandering around in my backyard. Should I feed it in the hopes that one day a catgirl will show up at my door?

Oh great idea! And we shouldn't let MZX games get uploaded either... at least without a full description of every board. Oh, and everybody's avatar should have a complete description too!

commodorejohn, you may request that people do such a thing in the future. however, disallowing the links would be stupid. look, if you're on dialup and you want to view it, view it. if you don't, don't! if you're unsure, who cares. it's just video.
<Malwyn> Yes, yes. Don't worry I'd rather masturbate with broken glass than ask you for help again. :(

I agree with john. A description should be required.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.
<Insidious> Tixus accidentally microwaved the 80s
<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this

It's stupid to make a thing like that forum rules though! It may be desirable, but _requiring_ it, no!

I didn't mean that we should make it a rule, although looking back at my post it sounded that way. I just mean it should be a sort of guideline.

The discussion tells you exactly what's in the video. It's Trip Hawkins, among others, get this -- discussing video games.. on, now here's the kicker, TV. It's not my fault if you can't read the description. It might not be very detailed, but it's there.
I'll put a three page summary up next time, sorry 'teach.

It also goes into the idea that a person creating a game is different to a person creating an ap because theres much more pre planning involved like a person developing a novel rather than a person making a computer program.
Also my favorite part
"How big is the cartridge?"
"It's an 8k cartridge"
"8k, heh that's an incredible ammount of-"
"It took 13 months of programming and alot of that time was spent putting it all together"
... WOW. I mean for the graphics for a chunk of the chronostodian map alone it's about 7kb... And I generated that in like an hour or so

Heh, it's amazing how things change. Could you imagine programming for one of those systems? Cramming as much code and game resources as you can into those kind of confines. Coding must have been as much of an art as a talent.

Hey, you should check out some of the 4K homebrew contests. It's absolutely astounding what some people can fit into 4096 bytes.
