Hello TASVideos staff. I'm bringing you some bad news today. I'm leaving the staff. Why? First of all, I lost interest in tool-assisted speedruns. I've noticed that I've stopped watching them. I seldom comment on new submissions. Lastly, and most importantly, encoding as some kind of online business feels like a chore for me now. I've lost interest in encoding for this site. At the beginning, I was enthusiast, and probably addicted, for encoding. But now, I just don't want to. The time I've spent on this website has learned me a lot of things about audiovisual encoding. The knowledge I've acquired will be useful for future projects, or for other things. I've deleted my homepage, and I've removed my Google account from the YouTube channel xMisterEpicx, where I've uploaded my encodes. My channel will still exist, thought. It just won't be updated anymore. Same thing related to my Dailymotion, NicoVideo and Archive.org accounts. I've enjoyed being a part of this staff. Thank you for accepting me as a Publisher and a Site code intern. Now, feel free to remove these titles from me. Goodbye.

Thank you for your contributions here, MisterEpic.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.
