TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun) Block at #Awesome Games Done Quick 2014
Run starts roughly 0:13:40. Please leave a 'Like' to show us which runs you enjoy most. A TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun) is defined as a speedrun movie or performance of a video game produced by means of emulation and using features unavailable to regular players, such as slow motion or frame-by-frame advance of the gameplay, and re-recording of previous portions of a performance. The idea is that such "tools" compensate for human limitations in skill and reflex, facilitating gameplay techniques that are otherwise impossible or prohibitively difficult. Producers of tool-assisted speedruns do not compete with so-called "unassisted" speedrunners of video games; on the other hand, collaborative efforts take place. Event #9 contains the TAS block of AGDQ 2014. Games featured: Gradius, Mario Kart 64 Special Cup, Bid War: Super Mario Bros 3 or Super Mario 64 0 Star, and Super Mario World

At this past Awesome Games Done Quick, $1,025,000 was raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. It only took a week of continuous streaming, 18,000 donors, and many many runners to achieve. A big thanks to everyone responsible for these amazing numbers, what a humbling achievement. For comparison, last year's event raised just under $500,000.
