Other than Nach, of course. Wink

I've been watching a lot of the ones on http://www.speeddemosarchive.com lately(I'd watch more TAS runs but for some reason tasvideo's BT tracker doesn't like me. Sad).. I think my favorites are the Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow runs(Mainly because I love that game so frigging much) and the Jaws run(Which is just amazing to watch, considering how much effort went into such a bad game.).
I prefer TASes Annoy

Much more inventive.
We still have to add VBA-rerecording, do we?

Yeah, rerecording needs a lot core changes IIRC, that's why mudlord didn't included it yet.

They can be. The NES Gradius run is amazing...
That's quite a handy link thanks.

I am not really into speedruns as the cap on my connection does not really allow for random fun...it barely holds out for regular browsing. However such a large collection is a welcome bookmark and if I do find myself with a few MB to spare I will definitely go take a look.
wats a speed runQuestion
You would know that if you went to the site.

It's basically playing through a game in the shortest time possible. Like completing Super Mario 64 in a matter of minutes.

TASes?????
Tool assisted speedruns. Basically, speedruns done on an emulator using methods that are not possible with a console, such as going through the game one frame at a time(Some games display odd behavior at specific frames, for example), repeated use of save states to fix mistakes, etc. Hell, some games have been reverse engineered!
TASes are so phucking cool and make my jaws drop xD
Yah, they are insane! ^_^

Speaking of which, kode54 made a Windows port of blargg's Mac based NES emulator. Funnily enough, it supports re-recording:

Its fun trying to complete the first level of Super Mario in under 15 seconds Tongue
