As you can guess, I'm a new member, just wanted to introduce myself and have at least one post in the forums introducing myself before I start bugging everybody...
I started watching TAS's around 2015, maybe 2016, when one of them got caught up in a search for real-time runs...like most people, when I first started seeing them, I thought that the person doing the run was cheating(embarrassing); doing stuff that wasn't even remotely possible! When I did some actual research though, and discovered what went into them, I realized that not only was I incorrect, but later on, that a TAS run is arguably harder than a real-time one! After watching, downloading and absolutely fawning over them, I quickly wanted to learn how to make my own, which is why I'm here!
I downloaded BizHawk last month, and watched some tutorials. Although the more advanced stuff like RamSearch and Lua Consoles are REALLY intimidating, I've at least learned the basic functions of making and recording a TAS, doing a handful of Sonic games to start off simple. My ultimate goal is to become proficient in doing some Dreamcast and Wii games, and learning how to do those well. Not really looking to break any records, but definitely hoping to upload some playarounds and other silly stuff. I hope to have fun here, thanks for reading!!
TAS Addict, hoping to make some of my own!
