I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits

So, I'm a TASer (also a judge, look below / also a person who really likes Lua scripting) who mainly TASed Super Mario World in the past but tends to try out other games as well.

I'm somewhat proud of my Super Mario World ACE, so this first section will be about ACE. The TAS programs games inside a game and then plays the games. ACE stands for Arbitrary Code Execution (I'm also happy that ACE became a valid abbreviation now :D). After doing that TAS I thought SMW couldn't be the only game where ACE is possible, and because of my love for the SNES I mainly specified in games on that console (but also because of the 8 arbitrary bytes in the controller registers).

So far, I've expanded the ACE principle to reach the credits as fast as possible to:

• [2926] SNES Super Mario World (USA) "game end glitch" by BrunoVisnadi, Amaraticando & Masterjun in 00:41.81
• [2751] SNES Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (USA v1.0) "game end glitch" by Masterjun in 01:17.54
• [2609] SNES Kirby Super Star (JPN) "game end glitch" by Masterjun in 00:23.03
• [2868] FDS The Legend of Zelda (FDS v1.0) "2nd quest, game end glitch" by TASeditor, Masterjun, sockfolder in 03:06.46

If you want to create your own ACE TASes I would suggest checking out the ACE How To.

Well, too bad... here, you can watch a time-lapse making-of:

I started TASing back in January 2010 (wow a long time ago wut) and I TASed SMW for a long time. After 3 years I started TASing other games such as VVVVVV.

Meanwhile I learned how to properly figure out what happens when games glitch or even crash. With this knowledge I made some ACE runs that somehow became very popular. That's also when I somehow got the TASer of the year award twice.

Anyways then I had a pause in 2015 because of stuff... I guess.

And starting in 2016 I'm trying my best to do some entertaining runs again, even if they are not necessarily glitchy. For this I started doing a TAS of Battle Kid 2 which is currently a WIP and also on hold.
