:? I still havent watched one of the movies yet... My computer probably couldnt handle it... It has issues with the internet that aren't bad enough to warrant a fix, but are pretty annoying. I tried watching one of the uhh quickie movies but my comp just froze :?
30 GB, but not all metroid stuff, that's everything on SDA.
Including the main Quake demos? No, wait... I guess they'd be small, because they'd work like emu-movies.
Yeah including the quake demos and maps. There's over 7000 quake demos now, the demos them self can get rather large (maybe 20 mb) but we wrote a specialized compression that'll shrink them to less than half the size of zip/rar/ace and as a result all 7000 demos are just a little bit ver 1 GB total.
I realized my 30 gb was a bit high for the sda estimate though, it's only 10 gb so far... the 30 gb includes some stuff that isn't on sda yet, like kip's in progress run, the original files of my metroid 2 run(6.9 GB there), treb's 23% etc.

basically the same reason why the m2k2 folder on my hard drive shows up as so much bigger than the m2k2 folder on the server. i never delete anything locally.
Just Metroid: 4.81 GB. Jeez, I can remember when one hundredth of that would't fit on the entire computer!
lol, yeah, was just thinking about that myself. had a 1 GB drive in 1995 and that was like, O_O. one thing that really gets me is how poorly the optical media is doing against hard drives. my 1GB drive couldn't even hold two CD-ROMs, and nowadays with our 200GB drives it would take like forty or more DVD-Rs to back that up. i guess i should be glad we can store so much video now so cheaply on hard drives, but hard drives do fail, and often at the least opportune times, so it just makes it difficult on me as the custodian of this content to do my backups.
Yea, the fact that we pack more and more info on a hard drive just means we will be more disappointed when they fail. Luckily, the only thing that has failed on this computer is the CD drive, not that that's not a big deal. (no more WCIII....)
On this particular computer I think I only have about 5 of Sess's 1% videos. On another computer though, I have Radix's 100% Prime run, Red Scarlet's 100% Metroid run, one of the ZM runs, I think Red Scarlet's 1:04, and...er...I think that's it. Oh, 2 of Brightstar's Metroid 2 videos. So I'm estimating around 2.5 GB, though I'm probably off by a lot.
