%%%Hiiii there, I'm CoolKirby!
Welcome to my personal homepage! Feel free to browse the tabs at your leisure.
%%TAB About Me%%
I'm an indie game designer with many TASes I want to make but not much time to work on them.
I learned about TASing through videos on YouTube in 2010. Among those that piqued my interest were:
*A [1197M|Super Mario 64 "0-star" run] by [user:SilentSlayers] and [user:Johannes], which I didn't really understand at the time due to the fast pace and heavy glitch use
*Primorial#soup's [950M|Pokémon: Blue Version run], which was very exciting, seeing a game I knew well be clearly and systematically broken
*batora's original [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltQqnKmhWHo|Super Mario Sunshine run], which blew me away with the glitchy route and speed at which it played through the game
Eventually, I gave in to my curiosity and clicked on a link to this site under one of the videos and was very glad I did. After lurking on the Front Page and later the forums for a few months, I decided to become a member. But I couldn't decide on a username, so I left the registration page open while I took a break to play Kirby's Adventure on my NES. A bad pun that I made out loud while playing as Ice Kirby led to the decision to name myself "CoolKirby"!
I love TASVideos and I'm happy to help the site however I can, whether it's editing pages, commenting on the forum, submitting movies, or even making a quick encode for a submission people are dying to watch.
I've seen a lot of change in the almost 10 years since I joined, and though I'm absent here more often than not, I still love TASing and plan to get through my various projects someday.
I tend to work by myself, but I enjoy working in a team too, especially if it's a game that's long or otherwise daunting to TAS alone.
[=Messages/Create?DefaultToUser=CoolKirby|Private messages] are always welcome. As long as I'm not busy with work or other responsibilities, I can help edit a page or publication, give a mini-tutorial on using an emulator or encoding, or just talk.
I also have
*a [http://www.youtube.com/user/CoolKirby2000|YouTube account], where I upload WIPs and temporary encodes of my submissions
*a Skype account at coolkirby2000 (though I haven't been on in years)
%%TAB My Published TASes%%
A list of the movies I've made that made it onto the site! I'm planning to branch out onto more consoles over time and maybe run more Kirby games someday too.

%%TAB My Runs in Progress%%
I tend to have many secret projects, and I'll usually be working on at least one of them. These projects may remain secret until they pop up on the Workbench, but that's how I work best.
There are, however, a few projects that I have made known I intend to work on, and these are listed below:
||Console||Game||Relative progress||Status/Morale||
|N64|[Forum/Topics/18749|Daikatana]|[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coolkirby2000/mymoodavatars/master/runprogress33y.png]|some promising progress, but will need to restart & optimize|
