Out of the six games I've TASed so far, I've had basically no desire to go back and play again. It's not a bitter feeling or anything, more like..."it's finished"; nothing left to do here. What say you, TASers? How are your experiences here?

DS TAS of 2012
I use TAS to help improve my gameplay all the time, so I guess I’m the opposite. Can’t really say for sure though as I’ve only TAS’d SM64DS fully and I never even played that game in the first place. Tenchu is a game I’d probably want to go for the RTA WR after TASing it, though.

I think I've played through Run Saber casually a couple times, but every time I play it I'm just reminded there's so much in the published run that can be improved. Otherwise, I can't say I've gone back to anything.

I love to play the crap out of Q Boy when I'm bored actually. Also Club Penguin and Epic Yarn too. Not the Platinum bootleg though.

No, I don't feel like playing Cheetahmen II, for obvious reasons. When I play Gex, I do admit that it is exclusively for glitchhunting. It's not a game that I had during my childhood.
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

That is exacly what i hope to accomplish with the games i TAS or think of TASing,to never play them again,to have them done once and for all. There's nothing left after a perfect game.
TAS i'm interested: megaman series: mmbn1 all chips, mmx3 any% psx glitched fighting games with speed goals in general

Depends on whether I was playing the game before I was TASing it. If I played it before, I will generally come back to it one day or another. There's only few games I returned to that I only ever played to TAS them.

Good question. Let's see. Out of my 30 currently published movies, I had played two games before tasing them (namely: Gods & Wonder Boy in Monster World). However, after tasing, no, none. I have not played any of those games before or after tasing. Depending on the type of the game, I might play it casually sometime during the making of the TAS, but even then my playing style might be too quirky to resemble any kind of casual playing. When I look at my publications, I think The Humans is the game I would play, if I had to choose one. The Humans combines action and puzzle elements very nicely. If there were DLC and harder challenges, I would definitely play the extra content.
