After reading Lag's, I have to share my own method of not getting any work done: 10 Find a game that is impractical to TAS by hand 20 Clearly define the problem of TASing the game 30 Figure out a solution to the problem in Lua, probably using bogo-heuristics, that doesn't involve me having to do any actual TASing 40 Hunt down necessary memory addresses 50 Work on implementing the solution until the theory is proven sound, but still lacks practical usability 60 Take a short break from the project 65 Wait six additional months 70 Find that the code has somehow been deleted 80 GOTO 10

Hah. Here's my unfortunate method. 1) Find a game that's never been done before so I don't have to worry about tough competition or wrapping my mind around fifty tricks discovered by other people, also a game that I enjoy or find amusing in some way. 2) Begin TASing, all goes well. 3) Partway through the movie, find that a certain level requires 40 times more patience or technical competency than the rest of the game put together 4) Try said part about 3,000 times before giving up 5) Wait 6 months 6) Randomly try again, and by some stroke of utter luck, get it done perfectly. 7) Submit movie and enjoy reviews, feedback, and publication. 8) 30 minutes after movie is published, find a huge improvement that can save minutes. 9) Begin mentally planning next run, wait 6 months 10) GoTo 2.
