There were quite a few projects I've completed in the gaming world, mostly tool-assisted speedruns but some non-tool-assisted ones as well. There are many more to come, too. Because I didn't want all this stuff to clog up my user page, which was a mess at the time of making this page already, I made a separate page for it all to be in. This list does not include obsoleted speedruns.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Potion Commotion was released for the GBA by Ubisoft in 2002. It is based on the sitcom, which is itself based on the Archie Comics spinoff series of the same name (which began in 1962). In the game's plot, several dramatic things happen with Hilda and Zelda (characters that never show up in gameplay) messing up their spells and making some sort of catastrophe that Sabrina has to fix, each catastrophe defining one of the four worlds. Along the way, Sabrina collects ingredients, which are later mixed up in a potion mini-game at the end of each world, and unlocks spells, which she can use to defeat enemies, grow vines, and so on.
Ready_Steady_Yeti runs through the game in record time, taking high advantage of the game's physics. The ceiling glitch used throughout the run is especially notable, since it is used to skip large portions of many of the levels.

The Morning Adventure is an action/platform game developed by Bit Managers and published by Virtual Toys in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance. The game was released exclusively in Spain, and was solely created as an advertisement for the now-discontinued Spanish snack food product known as "Mañanitos".

Noddy and the Birthday Party is a platform game, developed by Tiertex Design Studios and published by BBC Multimedia, which was released in Europe in 2000. The game features the British children's literature and television character Noddy, and is set in Toyland, the fictional universe in which he resides. In the game's plot, Noddy has to prepare a birthday party for his friend Big-Ears. His tasks include gathering various items, such as party invitations, balloons, and candles.
This game was critically panned for its awkward controls, but that's a good thing in the eyes of a TASer. This run takes advantage of the game's extremely poor physics and level design and beats it in record time; Ready_Steady_Yeti prepares the whole birthday party in just seven and a half minutes.

NES Super Mario Bros. (goldenroad155 hack) in approximately 21:02.94

(Link to video)
This was the first TAS project I ever actually completed. The game is a rare NES Super Mario Bros. hack that I couldn't even find any other videos for on all of YouTube, even today. It's horribly suboptimal, used a horrible emulator even for its time (end of 2011), used the wrong timing method (RTA time rather than TAS time), and probably ended the movie at the wrong time, but I was very young back then so I didn't understand the concepts, so it's still a milestone and I did learn a lot from it. This video would've been deleted along with my old Giraffecheetah channel if it had not been for patryk1023PL encoding it for me and keeping it on his channel for all these years. Shoutouts to Patryk.

This was a short little TAS of a bad DS game that I made for fun. Just click the link and read the video description; it tells everything you'd need to know about it.
DS Victorious: Taking the Lead 100% in 44:29.04

This TAS was rejected for triviality, due to being a rhythm game. Nevertheless, it was the first submission I ever made to TASVideos. The submission text can be found here. And here is a playlist containing a still crappy but at least slightly better YouTube encode of the TAS, but in 4 parts.
Believe it or not I actually found an improvement to this TAS that could slice even a minute off of it. I might TAS the game again, but don't count on it; it would still be rejected, and that makes me lose encouragement for doing it.

Speedruns

PS2 Transformers
I am the only person who's done full-game speedruns of PS2 Transformers. The only reason I'm not TASing this game is because PS2 emulation, especially in regards to TAS tools, is unfortunately at its early stages right now. I grew up with this game, and my obsession with the game has continued throughout my youth, and exists in me today just as much as it did back then. To find the speedruns I've made of this game, just follow this link. I'm also a super moderator of the PS2 Transformers leaderboard at the site.

TASVideos publications that I inspired

Aside from actually making my own movies, I was the lead inspiration in others making a few TASes on TASVideos. Those are listed here, chronologically.

Miscellaneous

DS Frozen: Olaf's Quest speedrun commentating
Trent Aitken is the primary non-TAS speedrunner of DS Frozen: Olaf's Quest, a game that I also happen to be TASing. For the speedrunning marathon called FightTheStigma (FTS) 2017, he did a full any% speedrun of the game (on 24 November 2017). He had planned this some time before then, and asked me to help him commentate while he did the run. So, I did do it that morning. Here is the video:
