Tool Assisted Speedrun
A Tool Assisted Speedrun (also known as a TAS) are basically regular speedruns on crack. They are probably the most confusing videos that you will ever see from your typical retro video game. The author(s) of said tool assisted speedrun invests days on end reloading save states, frame-advancing, and instating lua scripts into the emulator. Not only does that sound like a tedious and unnecessary task to do, their tool assisted speedrun gets obsoleted by another socially impaired basement-dweller in less than a month, rendering all of their efforts futile.

TASers & Members
Just like the members at Speed Demos Archive, the TASers (yes, they call themselves that) are arrogant, nerdy, and sorry excuses of world record holders that will stop at nothing to play the same damn game for days. The members at TASvideos.com are also pseudo-intellectual fanboys of the game/series they are TASing. They reload save states for hours on end and when the entire run is complete, they have to do the same process all over again because they can save one fucking frame. Only the popular members are allowed to break the rules on the site. Whether playing the Japan version of the game, or doing shitty Super Mario World ROM hacks.
Adelikat
Adelikat (Andrew) is apparently a person that likes to take random letters and excessive vowels and slam them together to make a ridiculous word. Besides his weird ass name, he is infamous for being the Primary Administrator at TASvideos.org. Also is the faggot who shat out a thousand fucking TASes that relies on glitches and his partner of the TAS. He is also M.I.A at the moment, probably because he now realizes that he is wasting hours and hours that can't be redeemed. Other than that, he has the human capabilities of a wet mop.
SwordlessLink
SwordlessLink (D. Dunbar) is a lazy Scottish Justin Bieber wannabe and The Legend of Zelda fanfaggot that rarely ever makes his own TASes and speedruns. So instead, he asks begs others to give him their run so that his channel won't die out and will be able to collect that YouTube money. Nowadays he wants to make his retarded fanbase to believe that he is "expanding" his channel by allowing speedruns being uploaded on his channel, but in reality he is running out of original ideas to keep his fanboys entertained. He is now also uploading Let's Play videos to his abysmal channel, which only shows that he is scraping at the bottom of the unoriginal shit-barrel(He also doesn't even like people cussing in his comment section and will delete your comment if you do.). Only a 6th of his subscribers are watching the Let's Plays since his other fans are waiting for speedruns, and others waiting for TASes.

Typical TAS. Notice all of the confusion conveyed throughout the run.

Forums
Just in case if they need to interact about how they enjoy anal sex and CP, they made forums. Rarely do they ever talk about anything relevant to what they're suppose to be talking about, and when they do, it's always something extremely trivial. Here they can also discuss on any improvements, so that the author of the recent and fastest run has to bust his balls again to incorporate the improvement and has to do the entire game all over again. And after he publishes the new run, the same faggots that portrayed the improvement finds another improvement. You get the idea of how lame and time-wasting the forums are.
