Hi! My name is Noah Tomlin, also known as theenglishman, but I'm Canadian. Don't ask. I'm a longtime member/lurker in the forums but a rather inexperienced TASer here. I'm currently working on obsoleting my one published run, 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' for the GameBoy Advance.

Well, my real name is Noah Tomlin. I live in Toronto. I'm 22 years old and about to finish my degree at Trent University.

Interests: Movies, books, video games, music, editorial journalism. I play the clarinet, piano, guitar (starting) and some percussion. I speak bits and pieces of Hebrew, Latin, Mandarin and French. I enjoy TASing, writing screenplays and doing editorial pieces for the hell of it.

I stumbled upon TASvideos through Speed Demos Archive. I remember watching Morimoto's old SMB3 run a few years before and thinking nothing of it, until I found this site (back when it was still called NESvideos). I've been hooked ever since!

Believe it or not, I used to be good friends with (and go to the same school as) SuperSonic101 over at The Sonic Center. In fact, he introduced me to the speedrunning community in the first place.

I did not change any of this. All of these English abominations are ripped directly from actual fanfiction. The following are basic grammar rules that some fanfic writers don't seem to...you know...comprehend.

It started to rain but I didn't really care because I didn't have a house.

“Did you just fart baby, because you just blew me away,” Harry said flirtatiously.

“Oh bloody Merlin fucking ass!” Harry said.

I woke up and I noticed my head still hurts. I slowly start to open my eyes and when I did so, they flew open in an instant. I was in a beautiful pink coloured room. It was so big, on the walls there were some pictures of flowers and animals. It was so beautiful that I lost myself in that room.

After about 30 seconds of proofreading and editing, here's how it should read (corrections bolded for emphasis):

I woke up and I noticed my head still hurt. My eyes flew open in an instant. I was in a beautiful, pink-coloured room. It was enormous! There were pictures of flowers and animals on the walls. A girl could get lost in there.

When he arrived Pete leapt over the desk and kissed Clark on both cheeks and knelt down and even kissed Clarks shining black shoes. "hello pet" said Clark in his brand-new northern English accent (which he had adopted from masturbating over Deirdre in Coronation street for a month) and sat down, emptying is make-up onto his desk, with Pete kneeling next to him watching and learning from his super master.

Title: HarryPotter and the 12 Legandery Worriers

years later of the most dangeros situation of N.Y the ghostbusters destroy an historical picture of vigo dana and peter now love more, Egon are the boyfriend of Jaine and ray and winstone no have nothing new bud gozer back to toast N.Y.

"Oh, yes, give it to me, big boy!" he yelled, not caring who heard. Hercules grunted in response.
"Oh god," Cloud moaned, to which Hercules lifted his head in attention.
"Yes?"
"No, no," Cloud murmured breathlessly, "continue, please." And Cloud lightly swiped his small pink tongue across Hercules' swirly chin.
"Oh, you like that, huh?" grinned Hercules, showing teeth. "Let me show you what my demi-god can do."

Uh.......yeah. Just take that demi-god somewhere else, thanks

"JTA, AWAY!!!!!!!" as the gang threw their left hands in the air and high fived each other before taking of to save Milwaukee and their new/homeplanet unaware that the evil Lex Delvecchio was watching them.

Placing an enlarged, nipple baby bottle on her tray, Amy cooed, "Here babykins, drink this while Mommy gets your din-din."
Diane looked at the baby bottle and knocked it off the tray. "No." she cried out. "Me am big giwl. Me no want ba-bee ba-ba. Me want gwass."
Crossing her arms, Amy stated, "No. You're much to young to drink from a glass. You'll spill it all over yourself." Picking up the bottle from the floor, Amy said, "Drink from ba-ba."
"No!" cried Diane, banging her feet against the footrest. "Me want gwass!"

As an addendum, I'm not trying to be racist; I'm simply trying to show how this godawful fanfic can be taken the wrong way.

i really like you baby,said Harry to cho.suddenly malfoy came upCho is my girl he said,chosaid no i like harry.harry said ill fight you for her.harry won.then they celebrated by kissing all over.harry especially kissed her on her breasts and her bellybutton they had lots of sex.

Hermione scowled at the bustling station, her dark lined eyes throwing not only daggers, but ninja stars and jack knives as well.

Suddenly Harry heard a humming sound coming from behind Sephiroth. The taller boy turned, to see another guy standing behind him, looking calm and holding a laser sword at his throat.
" Rude!" Sephiroth screamed, " How could you let his happen?" Rude shrugged.
" I was eating my hot dog!" he said, " You made us miss dinner."
" Yeah," Reno said, letting go of one of Harry’s arms, " I’m hungry! This is unfair labor!"
Harry yanked his arm out of the other boy’s hand and retreated into the crowd.
" Reno, you idiot," Tseng barked, " He’s getting away!"
" I don’t care!" Reno cried, " I want a hamburger!"

I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie.
