No. Nooo. >_< [EDIT] After much contemplation, the vote goes to adelikat. His runs were all of great quality and were arguably most entertaining of the bunch (because Randil tends to pick too many niche games :P). Also, taking the lowest rated movie on the site and improving it was a step too important to forget.

All nominees has made high-quality movies, I went with adelikat since he had made more movies I really enjoyed watching. Ranter/Baxdil would have been next in line.

This was definitely the toughest one, but I ended up voting Baxter. His runs were the most memorable ones, including the quad-run, Legend of Zelda and Arakanoid. Not to mention him being the Tetris-God of TASvideos.

I have to give my vote to adelikat, though I recognize Randil for being a champion of games nobody else thought to touch.

Kirby said so, so it must be true. ( >'.')>

I agree with Soulrivers, this is the most difficult choice. For me it's a toss between Randil and Baxter. In general I prefer Baxter's body of work, however, based on efforts of 2007 Randil wins it, just.

I'm giving my vote to Baxter, I felt he done the most difficult and inovative TASes.

Voted for adelikat, as personally I feel he has made an incredible contribution as far as NES TASing goes, and while the others have made no less of a contribution than he has (especially Randil), I very much enjoyed all of his NES runs more than I did the others.

Tough one. I'm torn between adelikat and Randil, since both released a large number of high quality runs on the system this year. (Baxter also had good ones, but his runs are dominated by Arkanoid and Tetris (although Legend of Zelda was insane and the quad run was good, too)) In the end I voted for Randil because of the games he chose, some games which are well known, some which are more obscure, and many games that were long overdue for an obsoletion. Darkwing Duck alone is enough to qualify him, I think.

Xipo, because I have enjoyed every one of his runs. Which is not true of any of the others listed here.

How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

This is the hardest category. All nominees have contributed a lot. With all due respect, Randil has picked slightly easier games compared to Baxter, Adelikat and Phil. I feel pretty much the same for Xipo. However, Randil did lots of runs, which must be taken into consideration. Lets compare Adelikat with Baxter (its pretty much inevitable not to do this). In my opinion, Baxter has a tiny harder list of published runs than Adelikat. But make no mistake, Adelikat had an incredible tasing year! I think I was most surprised what he and Cardboard did with the warpless Super Mario Bros 2 run. Phil had to tas a few more runs in order to be a stronger candidate. Maybe next year Phil ol' boy! Edit: I voted for Baxter.

My analysis: adelikat: Many popular games, including a few high-profile games. Baxter: Master of millions of iterations. Only a few games, many publications. Phil: All are high-profile games. Strives for utmost perfection. Relatively few submissions. Randil: Many low-to-medium-profile games; almost all are improvements to existing movies. More NES submissions than anyone else. Master of storybook games. xipo: A few low-to-medium-profile games; some improvements to high-profile games. Surprising contester. My vote goes to adelikat, for his submissions have sported the greatest amount of things worth watching. Phil and Randil were also strong contesters, but Phil has too few of them. Randil has found the most improvements to different games, but the average of the games' interestingness is too low for me.
