I had the idea awhile back to do a TAS of The Peace Keepers. Not just any TAS, though- a Let's TAS. The idea is that rather doing a straight speedrun of the game, using the best character, and releasing a movie when I was done, I'd instead poll the audience (I.E., you people) between levels to pick who I should use for a given level. Precision of play would be relatively high- certainly better than what you'd expect from realtime play- but any and all concessions for entertainment over speed would be made. Secrets would be explored and such. In other words, it'd be a combination of a Let's Play, and a TAS. However, since this is TASvideos and we have magical powers Lua scripting at our disposal, I'd also hypothetically radically pervert mod the game in ways that improve the viewing experience in much the same way as some LP'ers like to reinvent the plot of the game they're playing to varying extents. Probably with a subtitle commentary, renaming people DONGS and such. For now, I'm just looking to get an idea for if this is something I should do later; Snes9x SDL needs a lot of fixing, so I couldn't do it any time soon. What say you?

I say that you could have said it was Rushing Beat Syura...
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

Right, I forgot about that bit. RBS has a few extra enemies and a plot that wasn't mutilated by localization. So I'd actually use that version and translate as I go. Once again, yay Lua.

I say go for it; this sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I'm more interested in the "reinvent the plot" aspect of it, and regarding that, I think a Japanese-only RPG could be much better for this. (I've never really been a follower of any "Let's Play" before, though, since they pretty often use rare words or expressions (such as "DONGS" :P) which most non-native English speakers can't understand.)
You're just fucking stupid, everyone hates you, sorry to tell you the truth. no one likes you, you're someone pretentious and TASes only to be on speed game, but don't have any hope, you won't get there.
