If you watched this year’s Awesome Games Done Quick, you’re already familiar with the Olympian feats of endurance and skill that players exhibit as they race through your favorite games and make you realize that, no, you aren’t nearly as good at them as you might have thought. But there’s another side to the coin that isn’t nearly as popular as traditional speedrunning, a niche community of players prying open games and doing the unimaginable. Tool-assisted speedrunning (‘TAS’) might seem like simple cheating, but it’s so much more than that. It’s an exploration of the inner-life of video games, and it takes teams of expert players and programmers thousands of hours to do.
