Hi! I am ColdStardust. We are not nearly new to the whole TAS thing. We're just new to this site. We refer to ourselves as Madison and Billy. We are best friends, even though we've never met in real life. We met on the TAS community, and joined YouTube accounts and everything. We share secrets, make videos, and blah blah blah. By the way, we're sorry for any inconvenience that happened when we were younger. The trolling, the copying videos, the being immature (actually most of that wasn't trolling, we were just young) but we want to start over and be completely serious on this site, if you will just let us do that instead of banning us.
So anyway, this is User 2, or Madison typing this message, but Billy is just watching me type and giving me suggestions on what else to type. I am 13 years old, and Billy (User 1) is 11 years old, but don't worry, he's about as smart as I am at 13. We've both been doing the TAS thing for about 3 years (he's been doing it longer than I have), but we've learned slowly, so we're about average right now.
As for my TASing skill as User 2: I am fairly good at TAS, but not the best. I think very black and white and all technical about everything I do, because I'm very OCD, so I will just spend hours trying to get the exact frames just right on my TASes, but sometimes the best way to do something is over my head, so I get incredibly frustrated. I do my very best on all my RECENT TASes. And yes I am also very technical about my grammar and punctuation. I never try to get that wrong.
As for User 1: I think you'll have to ask him about that. I don't want to judge him about his work.
Anyway, sorry for last time I was on the site. I didn't really know what the purpose of a forum was, but now I do. I will try my best to keep everything on this site as serious as possible.
Well, the TASes I plan to make are these:
1,) (NES) Adventures in the Magic Kingdom any% (estimated time: 10:03)
2.) (NES) Adventures in the Magic Kingdom 100% (all stars all candles) (estimated time: 15-20 minutes)
3.) (GBA) Donkey Kong Country 3 any% (estimated time: unknown)
4.) (Wii) Super Mario Galaxy any% (61 star) (estimated time: 1:00(likely 1:30)-2:00)
5.) (Wii) Super Mario Galaxy 100% (121 star) (estimated time: 3:30(likely 4:30)-5:00-6:00-7:00)
When TASing on Dolphin comes out (which we've already tried to do and it didn't work) we will make this. I am the one destined to make all the SMG TASes, because I consider ourselves the best in the world at the game. I don't mean to brag about that, but Billy R. and I have played that game and rejected SMG2 (because to be honest I think it kinda sucks) and we've found so many shortcuts that other people (even speedrunners) haven't yet found (and trust me, we've looked everywhere I tell you. EVERYWHERE). So I'd like to be the one to do this projects. I don't think I'll give up, and if I do, I'll just leave the Dolphin video file on this site so other people can finish it if they want to, but I won't quit the TAS until I'm quitting the entire TAS community.
Also, about my OCD, that's the reason I do not like speed/entertainment tradeoffs. The reason is that it makes me nervous just thinking about it. It makes me feel good to think about things like making an atlas (I'm into geography) and putting a whole entry for every secondary government of every country in the world instead of having a section about just each country. Most atlases don't even go that far. :O
As for TAS, I imagine a perfect TAS to be the fastest it can possibly be, even if it's not so entertaining. For me, this is the way I think. My mind won't stop fantasizing in a black and white way.
Well anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this introduction, since it took about an hour and a half to write. Anyone I meet on this site, If I make any good friends on this site, then I am very glad of that, because that means my work will have paid off in some way! Well that's all there is to be said. Thanks for reading this, and I hope this gets some kind of response, since I worked hard writing this. Thank you! :)
