Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Kyman. I love TASing and all that good stuff. I am from Canada and I live in an igloo. Also, I'm 13, making me one of the youngest TASers that isn't that big of a troll! I also like speed running, nothing too serious in that department though.

How Did I Get Here?

I first learned about TASing through an obscure SM64 TAS (No it wasn't spezzafer's or any other published run). Then I found TASvideos shortly after around 2007 back when I was 10-11. I started making very bad SM64 TASes on YouTube, but I started to get better. I then came out from lurking and joined in 2008, making some very stupid posts, that thank god nobody noticed. I will not quote what I said because I have edited those posts.

Published Movies

My first published run. Sonikkustar submitted an improvement that saved a few seconds. I messed around with the game and realized how useful zipping is and contacted him. We then made this run. I am very proud of this run and only know of a few frames of improvement involving a method to build up speed right away.

My second published run of this not very well known game. I decided to do this game when I was surfing for SNES ROMs, errr I mean looking through my old SNES game collection. I am proud of this run, although it might not be very entertaining, I put a lot of effort into the optimization of it. I currently do not know of any improvements to it, but I wouldn't be too surprised if someone found a few frames.

Improved my previous submission and feel great about this one, also had a lot of fun working with SilentSlayers. Very proud of this one.

Finally got this one done, very proud of it. Saved a lot of time over Randil's run, a lot of thanks to him though :)

Go vote!

Runs That Didn't Make It

http://tasvideos.org/2236S.html SNES Clue in 00:27

I canceled this one because of bad response and bad game choice, but I personally think it should be a gruefood delight.

http://tasvideos.org/2652S.html SNES Bobby's World in 10:27

I canceled this one because of improvements that I later found and then submitted.

http://tasvideos.org/2647S.html GBC Daffy Duck - Fowl Play in 08:27

I canceled this one because of tons of improvements that added up to be around a minute. I should of put a lot more of time into this one.

http://tasvideos.org/2733S.html NES Digger - The Legend of the Lost City in 03:44.66

I canceled this because of improvements that were found.

Current Projects:

Currently 65% or so done this. Working with SilentSlayers, Johannes, Moltov, sonicpacker, and MrRobertZ. We are estimating 5:10 or so. This is top top priority and will be very good when done.

Currently 1% done this. Working with too many people to mention. A lot of minutes will be saved, but this is a huge project and won't be done until I am 402 years old. Low priority at the moment, but this will be the best TAS I will ever be a part of if it gets completed.

Currently route planning this. Working with SwordlessLink. We plan to save a minute, maybe less. This will be a good one too and we may submit it here, but probably will just end up on YouTube. Low priority, but will be higher when the 0 star is done.

Currently: 7% done or so. Working with andymac on this. This run has halted because of some technicalities regarding using super hard mode. Not sure if this one will ever be done. Very low priority.

Currently: 0.00001% done. Working with people, I don't even know who is in this anymore. This will use a speed glitch I found that makes it more fast paced, should be a pretty god run if it gets completed. Although I would like mupen64plus so I could reset record and skip the stupid text. Very low priority at the moment.

Currently: nowhere. Working with bobmario511. I found a technique that saves time when gliding so we had to restart again. This game is very hard to optimize. Also the first level is way too long. Very low priority at the moment.

Games I Have Considered

I was going to do this at some point, but it seems Azorae has taken this one on. I wish the best of luck to him.

I was doing this before, but lost motivation. Probably will never do this one.

I have been searching for improvements but it seems Vatchern optimized this very well. I'll submit if I find any improvements though.

I had a brief look at this one, a few improvements are known. Just kind of lazy to do it. Hopefully I can find a glitch to not need a million dollars.

I was considering doing this to obsolete Bobmario511's run, but lost motivation.

This seems like a good game choice that hasn't been done yet. Just too lazy to plan damage routes.

Me and sonikkustar were going to do these but lost motivation. Meh.

If you have interest in TASing any of these games with me, feel free to either PM me on the forums or send a message to me on IRC.

Runs I Am Dying To See

Bloobiebla and AKA are doing a good job for this one so far. I can't wait.

MrGrunz is tearing up this game, can't wait to see the improvement.

Last I heard andrewg and Aglar were improving this. From what I have seen so far, looks very promising.

ISM is doing this one, although according to Mister he restarted. This should be a good run when finished though.

Shinryuu was working on this, what he did looked promising. Also the new glitches should be a nice touch.

Questions, Comments, Concerns

Just PM me if you need anything or want to ask how I have an internet connection in an igloo.
