Have you noticed what things you spend time less on so you can watch or make runs? I sometimes have to take a step back because it can get addicting but i guess that could happen with anything.

I'd never let it get that far. You know, if I actually could be bother to TAS. Now online games are another thing...

No, but then again I don't spend that much time making TASes. If I did, it would simply mean I would waste less time on other useless things instead.

No, I find it harder to TAS than to not TAS.

Yes. P.S. I'm being honest here. Real life should be more important. Come to think of it, a lot of internet users take real-life escape way too far.

TASing has occupied my useless free time. No more free time = no more TAS! OGame on the other hand....

I pass time by watching them and doubt I'd ever have the patience to go and attempt a TAS. I don't know if I could take the criticism. But they definitely seem like a fun thing to do with free time if you have a lot of it. It's probably better spent time than these MMOs that occupy my time right now. (It's depressing, actually)

TASing is a hobby, and like any hobby it can take up too much time. You just have to know when to stop and do other stuff that needs to be done.

Obviously you need to start TASing AO games.

Quoted for truth. I've started a lot of projects over the years, but I never have the time or patience to put into a complete run, especially when you get into crap like arm pumping in Super Metroid. If I ever do make a complete run, it'll be of a short obscure game that will likely be too boring to be published. I've just had fun watching from the sidelines, instead.
Kirby said so, so it must be true. ( >'.')>

I sometimes TAS way too much than I should. However, there are other real-life issues that takes my time too (girlfriend, dungeons and dragons, family, etc.) so I don't have as much TASing time as I sometimes want. If I could, I would probably TAS several hours per day. :D

Well, at least I socialize more doing that than when I'm TASing. ;)

Speedy TAS of 2009
TASing was semi responsible for me having to drop out of UMASS Dartmouth. Like Fractal, an honest yes from me. But hey, currently I commute to classes, work at Starbucks, and just auditioned for a community play, so now I have other healthy things to do in my spare time as well.

World of Warcraft was my downfall at one point (college, health, social skills, sleep all suffered), but I haven't played for about a year now, and have learned my lesson about getting too addicted to something, even a hobby. Admittedly, TASing is something I could get all too addicted too if I let it, but I've been able to keep it in check. Plus jogging every day helps. Also, seconding that D&D is definitely a social and healthy thing, especially if you're DMing, which fuels your creative drive.

That is the beauty of a TAS or (the majority of) any offline game... eventually, it is over, and you can return to the real world.... ....Online games never end. Even with addiction to a TAS, eventually you have to beat the game. I was actually addicted to TASing a certain game this semester. It didn't really hurt me in anyway... but I could tell when I'd sit in class and create strategies for the TAS. Thank god they eventually end.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Heh, there was one Christmas at my grandparents' where I spent two weeks without a computer. I got out of bed in the middle of the night to scribble some code down with a pencil and paper, and that's the moment where I realized I needed to get out more. Thank God I have a laptop now. >.>
