Hi! I am dwangoAC ^[1] and I am Senior Ambassador on staff and experienced player here at TASVideos. My name is derived from the Dial-up Wide Area Network Gaming Organization service from the 90's and my initials; I was a moderator on the Denver DWANGO server and the name stuck.

I am the keeper of TASBot, our robotic mascot who plays video games perfectly for charity. TASBot has a long and storied history that starts with the initial efforts to replay Tool-Assisted Speedruns on physical hardware via a process now called Console Verification. Using TASBot, I've represented TASVideos at Games Done Quick and other charity events.

I am a security consultant / pentester / test engineer by trade and I like to tinker with emulators for new and exotic platforms as a form of penetration testing. I was the President of the North Bay Linux User's Group (https://nblug.org) for over 7 years and I am an advocate for emulators and games that run on Linux. My personal website can be found at https://acbit.net and I can be contacted by E-Mail using the last two letters of my username (at) acbit.net.

I am interested in seeing a TAS completed of the DOS version of NetHack and I created an unusual KVM-based rerecording environment to support it. The current source can be found by doing a git clone http://nethack4.org/media/nethack-tas-tools.git/ which will get you access to things like our insanely complex 2,006 in-game turn plan.

I've recently had an impostor pretending to be me so here are links to all of the official locations I can be found:
