TASVideos is a community for creating and publishing Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS) videos of classic and modern video games. We strive to push games to their limits. To achieve our goals, we create and enhance emulators to allow for playing games in slow motion, undoing mistakes, and even utilizing robots to do our bidding. Using these tools, we overcome human limitations such as skill and reflex, aiming to complete games with maximum precision, all the while providing a level of entertainment never seen before as our players tear through games as if they control the very fabric of reality. Despite all these tools, the end result is nothing more than a file of controller input that (while not humanly possible) could theoretically be done on the original hardware. The in-depth knowledge collected during the making of our videos is extensively documented on our resource pages, to allow new players to quickly become pros. You are invited to join our community, share knowledge of games, provide feedback of TAS videos you have watched, or even make movies yourself.

TASVideos News New admin structure and staff role changes posted by adelikat at 2010-03-15 03:48:18 We have 2 "Vice-admin" roles defined now and users to fill these roles. Details can be found in this post RSS Feed posted by Nach at 2010-03-08 00:27:40 I updated, fixed, and upgraded our RSS feed. This should provide greater compatibility with more news readers. I also added support to our feed for Broadcatching. This allows BitTorrent clients that support RSS feeds to retrieving newly published torrents automatically. This is supported by μTorrent, qBittorrent, Deluge, and many other clients. PCEjin SVN128 released posted by adelikat at 2010-03-04 02:43:09 We have a new release of PCEjin. Details found here. More
