http://www.destructoid.com/master-super-mario-bros-glitches-through-animated-gifs-189206.phtml#comment "You're from the internet, so you must love animated GIFs. Here's some that will do you a bit more good than those Maury Povich loops you spread around. TASVideos has taken some ROM dumpage and made treasure with this series of instructional animated GIFs for the Super Mario Bros series of games. It starts off with the original SMB1 wall jump and builds into advanced sh*t like going through bricks, vine teleport glitching and even walking inside of enemies. I want you inside me, Mario! There's a pretty good list going, but judging from their to-do list, they're going to add a lot more. Nice work so far, good sirs. You can check out all the GIFs here at TASVideos. No Hotlinking! I'm kidding about the hotlinking."

"Reading through that page, those are some obsessed motherfuckers." That comment made my day. xD

Nice to see that we're spreading the word! And I thought I recognized the writer's name - Dale North has made a few remixes on OC Remix.

Awesome, glad to see our Game Resources pages are helping spread the idea of TASing. (Also, I moved this topic to the news forum. It is specifically designed for talking about current events related to this site)
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

I'm surprised they're swooning over the animated GIF which demonstrate how to do the tricks instead of the actual TAS'es that show the glitches in real-time. Eh, I'll give 'em a few days. Wonder if they've seen the Megaman ones yet.

Pretty sure that's because they are interested in seeing how it's done, and not watching it happen itself. The GIFs make the text explaining what's going on clear. I know that, unless I know the game well, I generally do not bother to watch videos unless they are either subtitled or there's a lot of information about what's happening in the submission. Unless I can work it out myself, it's just not fun.

That's supposed to be: No as much fun. Apparently, I cannot edit.
