About this page[1]
Due to the page system restrictments, my nickname "klmz"[2][3] has been spelled with a heading capital "K". However, I only approve of spelling it without capitals, while I only approve of spelling "Emeter" the other nickname of mine with just a heading capital "E".
Special thanks to moozooh for his example of nicely organized and fully informational homepage as well as his constructive comments. :)
I have biases. Unlike most of others, I am not biased against games that I dislike or never played, with only several particular exceptions that haven't emerged. On the other hand, I am sometimes biased towards games that I like, but not necessarily played. Most of the time, I try to judge the movie, not the game.
I am unlikely to give very low ratings. I do not lower some movies' ratings to "promote" some others. Low technique ratings are very rare because our judges are doing their jobs fairly well. Movies that receive very low entertainment ratings from me are mostly "morally wrong", "politically incorrect" or just "very boring" in common sense.
And I admit that everyone's rubric allows exceptions.
Note: There is no need to rush to acheive the "100% Movies Rated" rank.
Useful to myself.

Should judges discover hidden gems?

Favourite Starless TASes[1]
Due to possible biases, I do not list TASes made by myself here.
NES Snake Rattle'n Roll (USA) by Nitsuja in 07:27.87
One of the most difficult platformers.
NES Mega Man (JPN/USA) in 15:29.27 by Robin Reigstad (Deign)
Its star was stolen by [1346] NES Mega Man 2 by Shinryuu, pirohiko & finalfighter in 23:54.75.
Genesis Instruments of Chaos starring Young Indiana Jones (any) by maTO in 09:04.58
The game is so bad that it is good.
SNES Lemmings (USA v1.1) in 1:03:04.45 by Thomas Seufert (Lord Tom)
What a puzzle game.
SNES Contra 3: The Alien Wars (USA) "glitched" in 03:20.38 by Filip Roskvist (Cpadolf)
To show why sequence-breaks are amazing. However, the movie obsoleted by it provided more entertaining waiting-period stunts in my opinion.
DS Tetris DS (USA) in 01:37.53 by veup
I felt that I had to put a DS TAS here, and I ocassionally chose this one.
TODO[1]
Anyone may do these, while I am supposed to do them myself as well.
- Clean up this page.
- Fix typo, spelling and grammatical errors. Other editors are welcome to do these.
- Comment on the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man and recall doing that properly in the future.[6]
- Promote either Truncated Mean or Winsorized Mean to be used in evaluations of movie ratings.
- Get rid of this section in future.

Comments are welcome.
moozooh: First off, in regards to your non-submitted movies.
I'm not sure how exactly did you determine that an improvement of 10 seconds to Jackal would be rejected. Does it look so significantly boring in comparison? Otherwise I see no problems for it to get published as an improvement to the current movie. In the worst case, it can still have a mention in the published movie description like some other movies have/had.
Then, how much of an improvement your Krion Conquest movie actually is? Even if it's not significant time-wise, you might still have noticeably better stylistic choices. After your JtS movie, many of us have been convinced in your exceptional sense of style. :) The same applies to your R&F 100CD improvement. EOF
klmz: I guess single-player movies are supposed to be inferior to multi-player movies in entertainment.
moozooh: Well, I'd leave that to the audience to decide. Mind you, the published Kage, TMNT2, and other movies of similar games all use 1-p because it's faster than 2-p. If anything, I would at least try.
klmz: I should have metioned that "Cancelled Movies/Projects" weren't necessarily "TAS-like" or even "Completed" to avoid misleading. Those semi-test runs don't look so nice (at least according to my standard).
Comments are welcome.

[1] This section is still under construction and its contents may be incomplete.
[3] Hadn't it been Castlevania: Circle of the Moon as my first GBA game, I would have never got any chance to become a TASer.
[4] The old .avi of Super Mario Bros. (JPN/USA PRG0) "warped run" in 04:58:53 with my name misspelled as "kmlz" had been downloaded over 810 times before it got replaced with the corrected one. Fortunately, My Super Mario Bros. (JPN/USA PRG0) "warped run" in 04:58:18 which obsoleted the old Super Mario Bros. (JPN/USA PRG0) "warped run" in 04:58:53 got published with my name "klmz" spelled correctly in the subtitle(s) of the .avi. Hopefully the new movie makes people recognize me as "klmz" correctly.
[5] It seems that I am too lazy to edit this although I've become an editor.
[6] Becoming an editor has helped a lot. However, it can be difficult to recall having made that comment properly.
