... and I hope I'm posting in the right area. I've been a long-time lurker and a no-time TASer, and in all honesty I probably will not begin TASing anytime soon. I'm a huge fan of speedruns, both TA and non-TA, and my friends and I sometimes spend an evening trying to beat X as fast as possible. Of particular note is our Halo CE Legendary Run. I highly doubt we beat any sort of records, and frankly, we didn't check a single one, but we all get a kick out of blazing through games to add some replay value. Now, having said all that. I guess I registered for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, having lurked I've forgone rating videos for at least a couple years. Second, I hope one day to become a valued member of this community, even with the zero TAS experience I have. DiscoRico EDIT: I just noticed my title is very appropriately "Lurker". Gave me a chuckle.

Some things to do even without TAS experience: * Rate published movies. * Provide feedback / vote on submissions on the workbench. * Encode submissions (quick encodes for submissions without encodes, or even official publication encodes). * Re-encode past movies that lack encodes or have bad encodes. * Help coding emulators (C++, C# depending on the emu) * Help coding the site (it is PHP). See Wiki: Helping

I never had the forum rank field read "Lurker". :-)

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I will definitely look into one of those options.
