Look at me being early for once!

In all seriousness though, i just spent a few hours on homework and felt like doing one more thing before I go to sleep, so I figured, Hey, it's 1 AM Monday, therefore I am allowed to do my Monday pastebin.

First things first, I apologize for the lack of streams. I haven't been streaming for two main reasons. The first is, as I've stated previously, i'm nearing the end of the semester in school so I have a lot of projects that I need to work on. As such that has eaten away some of my time.

However the bigger reason I have not been streaming is I recently began something I never envisioned myself doing before - a TAS. While I am sure many of you already know what a TAS is, for the unacquainted, a TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) is a speedrun where you use emulator functions (most notably frame advance and save states) to make a "perfect" speedrun. Obviously, TAS runs are not comparable in any way to what a person could do in real time. It takes a lot of time and effort, both of which I did not think I had, however I discovered it in myself. So what am I TASing? None other than Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky! Not only am I TASing Explorers of Sky though, I'm TASing a recruit all pokemon category!  What this means is that at the end of the run, I will have recruited one of every pokemon from generations 1 through 4 (Minus Arceus as Arceus is not in the game).

This will take quite a while, however this does not mean that I will not be streaming while working on it. I think I'll be streaming this week, if not at the very least Saturday. Saturday is the PMD: Explorers of Sky all special episodes relay race! We do not have a time yet though. I'll be running the Igglybuff episode, and will probably stream myself playing through it later this week when I have time (Looking at Thursday and Friday especially). It will be fun, no doubt about that!

So I've been busy, and I'll continue to be busy. While I do not plan on showing the TAS off until it is finished, I might do a stream or two of me TASing just to show you guys what the process is like for those who are curious. Other than that, around three weeks left in the semester, and it could not come sooner!
