When human skills are just not enough

Welcome to my page! If you like TASVideos.org, why not register?
I am 26 years old, female, from lonely southwestern Pennsylvania. My interests are in computers, networking, software development, website development, and electronics. I've been working with computers for about 13 years, and have a CCNA certification. For those of you who don't know what that means, its called "Cisco Certified Networking Associate". I received this certification by taking a 2 year Cisco Networking Academy course. I also work on arcade systems, and even managed to get an In The Groove machine working, even after being told by techs that it couldn't be done. I've been developing Windows applications for about 8 years, and PHP/MySQL for about 9 years. It was really the PHP development that got me interested in software development in the first place.

If you want to know more about me, just chat with me on IRC!

I joined TASVideos.org as a registered member in April of 2010 after watch a good number of movies. About a month after I joined, I noticed the site was actually a wiki. I became an Editor, and proceeded to work on a few things on the wiki. My personal life became chaotic, and I didn't visit the site that often. Early in June, I became a Site Developer since I'm proficient in PHP/MySQL. Around the same time, I also became a Vested Editor. In August 2010, I became the Admin assistant, overseeing the site's code and wiki editors.

This is a list of my current projects on TASVideos:

  • Documenting site code
  • Editing wiki pages
  • Implementing new features
  • General bug fixes
  • Home Page Overhaul
  • Encoding new submissions*

  * I usually only encode submissions that have a good chance of being published.
  This means the movie has to be entertaining as well as technical.
  I generally have a good eye for spotting improvements on games I know well, but I'm still learning.
This list is a list of all my future projects, in no particular order or priority.

  • Home Page Overhaul
  • Documenting site code (Ongoing)
  • Assisting with the move to phpBB3

This is a list of all my past projects on the site. They are listed in order from the first completed project.

  • Removed homepages from WikiOrphans
  • Added Vested Editor Role/Rank and removed Movie Editor Role/Rank

These are the movies I have published. If there is an issue with any movie, please contact me. Latest publications on top.

Here at TASVideos we make perfect movies... and then we beat them again — this time by 1 frame, which, considering the fiercely competitive history of this run, is actually significant.

And if watching this TAS on an emulator isn't satisfying enough, why not see it done on a real console!

- Takes damage to save time
- Uses hardest difficulty
- Genre: Action
- Genre: Platform
Batman returns to stop the Joker's latest insane criminal plot once again, 20 seconds faster than the last time!

This game is one of those grappling hook games, with which Batman can just swing through areas quickly. Much of the improvement comes from bunnybathopping Batman's way through levels and somewhat improved boss fights.

Tom and Jerry in Mouse Attacks! was released by Ubisoft (more well-known for their Prince of Persia games for the PS2) in 2000 for the Game Boy Color system. A series of glitches and tricks are used to quickly obtain all the special items and free Jerry's friends after a boss battle.

More information can be found on the movie's submission page regarding the tricks and glitches used.
