  • Becomes a millionaire
  • 100%
  • Warpless
  • Takes no damage
  • Bad game choice
  • Lazy luck manipulation
In this historically accurate game, you have to answer 15 questions in order to get a million dollars. Legend has it that Lord Philbin was the mastermind behind this infernal scheme, which was used to drain several million person-hours from dozens of countries by furnishing false hopes unto their citizens. It was also the basis for a film, Slumdog Millionaire, which didn't actually have anyone win money, because it was fiction. Lame.
The menus in this game are unusually slow. You can't move the cursor before it becomes visible, and there's a lag of two or three frames before you can press it again.
This movie isn't really publication-worthy. I just thought this would be a good screenshot: Not a millionaire
(The screenshot's from the credits, not from any part of the video with input.)
Nach: This run is slower than other runs, yet doesn't provide anything more interesting. Furthermore, this game in general is boring for a TAS. Rejecting.

There is nothing fun in watching someone answer questions in a trivia game frame-perfect... Voting no for game choice.

I don't see TAS here.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

NO VOTE because it's slower than the existing rejected run.

As Toothache said, this would have made a good April's Fools submission. You should have waited until April to submit.

The following vote is my final answer: [N]
Do I look like someone who really cares what God thinks?! "GI Joe: The Atlantis Factor" - May be improved in the future.

Actually, this is best run which was ever made. It beats previous submission by 3:05:40:18.22 seconds (note: without signed values). That's too epic for our server to post, so we must say no.

(seriously through, Millionaire or any other trivia game isn't good game to choose, as with perfect timing it's easy to do that in splits of seconds, but I find it ever bigger surprise you know it's bad TAS and it's bad game choice)

Any trivia game with multiple choice is a bad game to TAS, but for some trivia games with free answer input, playarounds become really fun. Especially thinking of Family Feud by Heisanevilgenius... But of course, the interest does not come of the format of the game itself :)
Which kind of dining set defines me as a person ?

The Family Feud TAS getting the Most Innovative and Funniest awards of 2009 kind of disproves that claim big time, given that Family Feud is kind of a trivia game. The point is that you really shouldn't generalize: There may some specific types of trivia game which are completely unsuitable for TASing, but that doesn't mean all of them are.
