Personally, I think every TAS should come with commentary. As it is, the time and effort put into placing it in the video should be reason enough to accept this TAS, not to mention the run itself. There may be better routing in the future, but for now, this is a good addition to TASVideos.

Thanks, mklip. I appreciate the welcome. thatguy, there's no actual "skipping" involved. He technically played the game all the way through. It wasn't a glitched run, but rather something the game was programmed to do. Like I said, it's no different than the blackjack analogy. The chances of getting blackjack are 1/21. So, if I play a game that revolves around it, get it in my first draw, and thus win the game, does that mean I just did a TAS simply because I quickly skipped through the menus?

I know this is my first post, but I've been watching TASes for a while, so I hope you tolerate it. I, like others, don't see the point in making a TAS of a game like this unless it's a playaround. Nothing about Scrabble is about being fast, but instead being creative. There isn't anything creative about simply skipping turns until the game is over, especially on Novice difficulty. In this case, it's like resetting a game about blackjack until you get it on the first turn, and then ending the video. Not really what I consider entertaining.
