And you found "Bisqwit" easy to remember and type? ;)
I know it's easy for me because I've done it thousands of times for 13 years, but others have complained :)
Yeah, it's unique and chances are I may have joked about it so it's memorable.

My journey towards hitting this site began with a speedrun of SMB 3 someone sent me which was rather impressive. Immediately I hopped on google searching for more NES speedruns
For the most part that was how it was for me but I'm not sure if I hit Arc's site or not.
Yeah, it started with Morimoto's SMB3 TAS (can't remember where it was hosted 'cause my brother showed me it) and I just wanted to see even more runs from then on, knowing how well they were played intrigued me. I believe I searched for speed runs as I was unfamiliar with the term Tool-Assisted Superplay/Speedrun. I saw a few more somewhere before finding out where they originated and that's pretty much how I found this site. Of course, back in 2005 I found the site's address difficult to remember (Nah, not really. More like laziness) so I usually would just type in Bisqwit in google search (even though I could have easily bookmarked it but I'm a stupid, stubborn man :).

I forgot to comment, my friend adelikat.
I've got to say that this is just about it, the best (or near best with regards to some of your comments above). Still one of my favorite hard games to watch, all TASed and stuff. Yes vote, I admire your persistence.

Very nice Tetris B run, good and organized. You show great showmanship in your TASes which encourages me to progress better showmanship in my TASes. Yes vote.

Good work with this one.
This game is a little repetitive but at least there's some context to it instead of it just being a racing game (not that that justifies it, but it helps when it's apparent, I guess). I didn't view this movie all in one sitting so it stayed relatively fresh whenever I decided to start watching it again, so there's a plus. It's also a very colorful game and seems to render perfectly with Rice's Plugin.
Besides all that, congratulations on completing such a fine TAS of a difficult racing game. Yes vote for the utter ownage over all.

Crazy, Crazy Randil. You pump out TASes like you're a robot, you know, programmed to TAS or something like that (I don't know where I was going with that). Anyway, Love the work you do 'cause it's quality stuff regardless of the obscure titles. Yes vote and update your page and signature, they're riddled with lies! :)

I've checked out some of the progress of the TAS and it's real good. I haven't played this game in like 10 years so it was a nice treat to see it completed with expertise. I'll check out more of it when I can.

Seems your site is a little more organized and straight forward when it comes to content, you know, it's all right there. Then there's your personalized layout on the TAS page which is awesome but I had a thought, about how you used the Super Mario font on the movie info for all movies.
Maybe for the different consoles than NES you could use a font of a popular game for that system (e.g. SNES=SMW, Genesis=Sonic, GBA=Who Knows?) to lay out the movie info. Or maybe not considering it may look like shit and chances are you thought about that.
Regarding your music talents. Even though I'm not really a fan of Hip Hop/Rap, I find myself growing towards it as time goes on so I'll probably check out more of your work.
That's about it. Keep doin' what you do, it's all good.

Hey, not too bad for your first TAS.
This is actually a pretty damn hard/annoying game so it's interesting to see a TAS make it look easy and simple. Besides there being nothing more than what the game offers in this TAS, I found it to be a good start for your first TAS (I don't believe every TAS has to be the ultimate run). Regardless of the low rerecord count and the stated probable unoptimized movement, I vote yes for it's your first TAS which I understand how that is. Congrats.

In order for it to sound closer to the SNES, Volume Envelope Height Reading must be on and even then it's sounds pretty bad but whatever, that's emulation for you.

Funny, I was just playing this last night and wouldn't you know it...
I found it to be entertaining, to say the least. The animal sex was an interesting choice of action, I didn't like it nor did I hate it. Honestly, this game now has an interesting run but at the same time I can see why others do not want it.
I vote yes.
