Trying out a recently discussed trick on Barnstorming on Atari 2600. (See Reddit and Kotaku links below for more information.) The trick works with some consistency on novice difficulty, but has not been replicated on expert. These trials were on expert difficulty, modifying the strategy from the first video. I was still not able to replicate the trick once on expert in one hour. No further glitch speedrun attempts were made.

Credit to fluddowich and MrWint for exploring the trick before me.
This video also begins with some story time about my involvement in this, and what today's research was about. The video concludes with ~3 hours of non-glitch gameplay.
