[@flamingmetroid]

+Ken williams thanks

[@b3kstudio]

+Ken williams Thank you!

[@user-mw3jm3zl2e]

You, my friend, have won the internets.

[@TheMASTERFURIOUS]

thanks bro

[@SylvaGardenia]

Honestly not sure why this isn't in the description. Thank you very much.

[@naglfare616]

tas will always have the most entertaining, funniest speedruns

[@UnderscoreSystem]

if tasbot had a twitch account, whenever he did full playthroughs of any game, the stream would only be 30 minutes

[@ky-gp4sz]

+Ocean Man dwangoAC, keeper of tasbot streams

[@Dager000_]

NAGLFAR E and yet they cut it from this year's SGDQ

[@OscarLT321]

The only reason it is entertaining is because you see runners try and run the game for hundreds of hours and not even get close to what the TASbot does. That's why I say, in the Olympics, let a random person do the sports to show the huge skill difference between us and the athletes

[@smoceany9478]

thank you

[@Teth47]

An average person can score pretty high in BrainAge, a smart person makes his computer do the math for him.

[@dazarino1390]

but the run simlly proves that TASbot is the best at Brain Age. no human ever completed the calculations by drawing pictures

[@Teth47]

Darren Wilson That's my point...

[@sterlingmuse5808]

Darren Wilson Actually, you can't prove that. Sure, it would be more difficult without TASbot, but you could theoretically manipulate the touch screen similarly without it.

[@zachgreen2006]

Technically, he can say that. Because until you've seen the game manipulated that way by a human, it simply cannot be confirmed or even realistically plausible. TASBot is the only thing to have ever done it. period.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

Zach Green I never said it would look this good while it was being done XD But learning the way the game reads your inputs, then practicing and practicing to manipulate it in real time isn't even that implausible; but nobody has really cared to do so as far as I know. I played the game a little as a child, and I would accidentally write the wrong answer and get it right anyway on a fairly common basis.

[@EinDose]

The TAS block is always a highlight, but I'm pretty sure this time around it's also art.

[@lufenia]

that dudes laugh in the background though...

[@IcedEarth1231]

+Dizzy35373 YSG

[@minhuang8848]

+Dizzy35373 I remember waking up for the Tasbot segment because I could hear our laughing friend through my headset. So... thanks I guess!

[@knocks42]

+Dizzy35373 BlueGlass is love, BlueGlass is life.

[@ThissntSparta]

+Mae Cheque BlueGlass is autistic, BlueGlass is... well, autistic.

[@ArmorClassman]

BlueGlass. the official laugh track of AGDQ

[@deegobooster]

I specifically set my alarm to wake up early enough to watch this segment. Long live TASbot

[@ky-gp4sz]

I once set my alarm for a GDQ run it was a 10 minute bible adventures run at 6am

[@notottomedic]

+The Aristocrat Cancergon it's determination.

[@AndrewBlechinger]

The QR code at the end of Brain Age is a link to TASVideos. Holy crap.

[@glitchieproductions923]

Wait, so this thing can't read my handwriting, yet somehow drawing Mario or Kappa gets it right.... i quit.

[@ShadowsLetsPlays37]

The bot draws the right answer offscreen after he is done with the image.

[@glitchieproductions923]

I'm not stupid, it was a joke :P I knew it did something like that..

[@ShadowsLetsPlays37]

TheGlitch76 Ah okay^^ Didn't get it since quite a few people asked that question without joking.

[@glitchieproductions923]

I understand how that works

[@hanhah2613]

+TehSoulja you're wrong. Brain age actually does assign those numbers to those specific pixel combinations. They tested the images before hand and know what the character recognizer will assign to each image. Then they manipulated the RNG of the game so that the questions being asked had the answers they wanted in the correct order.

[@ModdedMarionette]

7 computer players: “I am ready to go try hard and win this race!” TAS player: **Completes the three lap race in 10 seconds**

[@Rationalize_Nuking]

54:45 "How many frame perfect inputs in a row can you do on two controllers at the time?"

[@Wintar]

Until either you lose your hands, or the power goes out.

[@pussinbootsisawesome]

Luciole tap 1! tap 2! game finished 3!

[@vyra8426]

I attempted to do that on a real console, i ended up with minor arthritis, QUALITY

[@smolbrendan5978]

How many breads have you eaten in your life?

[@Iris_Descent]

Thirteen. I prefer Japanese food. (If anyone gets this reference, you have my respect)

[@Bogmire_is_me]

Who's the dude laughing his ass off the whole time? I applaud him.

[@SuppenSeebi]

He sounds like a the hillarious 'Blue Glass' just look for him ;)

[@austinburant7114]

Every year

[@Baal0191]

It's depressing that they don't recognize the Newgrounds classics )-:

[@kaseyhirt1758]

But I do.

[@MoonlightMirage]

I believe I saw Pico in there :)

[@dyrus5124]

That one dude laughing the whole time doe x)

[@GamingTaylor]

He really is, I notice him on so many SGDQ videos, especially in the bloopers. His laugh is infectious, I love him.

[@louisleblanc6258]

he sounds just like Blueglass

[@renakunisaki]

The SMB3 run... earlier we saw 2 players 1 controller, 4 players 1 controller, but few can pull off the mythical 1 player 0 controllers run.

[@TheMacCheechMan]

fewer people have ever beaten backdoor%. let alone without a controller

[@Chase-mp9zt]

Having both color a dinosaur and super mario maker during brain age is absolutely genius

[@IcedEarth1231]

Literally the best part of all the marathon, every year. Can't wait to see how TASBot breaks Super Mario World again next year...

[@CHIPtsune]

Your third top donation wasn't some ordinary twitch account! IT WAS ME, DIO!

[@fulgure]

Your*

[@CHIPtsune]

Boku no Fulgure my error wasn't no grammar accident! IT WAS ME, DIO!

[@MitsubishiDelica-fm8gk]

k *runs away

[@blankthehedgehog6279]

And I was the second top donation so HA

[@sgplaysit8727]

You were expecting Dio, BUT IT WAS I, THE GUY WHO SUBMITTED DIO FOR BB.

[@turtleboi8492]

31:25 was so perfectly executed that I just. Props man, seriously fucken good job being that organized.

[@WasabiKitCat]

I haven’t laughed as much as that one guy did in my entire life. In this one event he’s laughed louder and way more than I ever have in my whole 15 years of living.

[@Color-Theory]

Hope the rest of your life is less boring!

[@DasPhero]

Damn, I blinked at the Mario Kart part and missed 2 laps >.

[@uaekappa]

I lost my shit at Brain Age

[@Intothevoid-NIB]

everyone did

[@uaekappa]

Viewtiful Z I wish I was there

[@uaekappa]

A Bag of Dicks That sucked

[@uaekappa]

A Bag of Dicks Well aren't you fun at parties?

[@uaekappa]

A Bag of Dicks Parties can't handle me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@rivanianx]

The Brain Age one was perfection incarnate.

[@brenomanhaes9322]

This tasbot guy is really good. He always has records in every game

[@Knux576]

Easily one of the greatest parts of the marathon, and full of surprises as always. Was awesome watching this live.

[@mikebogs9966]

Yes Brain Age, 5 x 2 does equal SANS. I Love TASBots.

[@lolmcswagger7247]

There is only 1 TASBot...

[@blankthehedgehog6279]

Mike Bogs Megalobrainage intensifies

[@kaseyhirt1758]

Papyrus: SANS?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

I don't think I've ever seen a comedy TAS. But that brainage one

[@juglovesyou]

Meme overload in the Brain Age segment, jesus fucking christ

[@Antipodian]

For anyone else curious, the QR code at 46:47 just points to tasvideos.org. Also I remember finding that glitched swimming form in SMB3 with Game Genie codes. Crazy.

[@ariss3304]

smb3 was obviously built off the other games

[@RadeonVega64]

real

[@bophi_true]

There's always a guy in the background that has the most glorious laugh in these events.

[@thekillercake7395]

When tas actually plays never gona give you up while drawing rick

[@bootlegcaesar7481]

The Brainage run was the most awesome thing ive ever seen xDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@firesonic5x5productions48]

43:02 Hi Stryder7x! :D

[@Macswaggens]

Their webcam shat itself near the end of the video.

[@hooperscooper6896]

Stupid compression

[@komorebi_dayo]

That's KZbin's encoder. The visual complexity demands more bits from other parts of the frame to keep overall bitrate within the quality threshold.

[@G_U_STHEBESTE]

FreaqyFrequency oh

[@malcovich_games]

Link flash stepping around Dark Link is awesome.

[@Duskaria]

To explain the Brain Age one: The images in the GDQ run are actually tricking the game into thinking that the image is the number. Mostly, that consists of drawing things it doesn't recognise (which it ignores) and ensuring that a small proportion of the image is recognised as a number. If it can only see one number, that's the answer. It's also possible to go temporarily out of bounds for very short periods to confuse the game as to where lines start and end.

[@blyjd91]

29:38 Best thing during the whole event.

[@Ultracity6060]

TASBot gets better every year.

[@cozyin]

Shoutout to mitchflowerpower! He's a nice dude, awesome runs he's done here at AGDQ. My name's Mitch as well!

[@cozyin]

He's also my favourite runner because he has humor and is so nice!

[@mdudegamer]

Oh man, the date they put in the DS was my birthday. Seeing this cool stuff would've made a nice birthday present, honestly.

[@darkotter109]

This TAS block was fanTAStic!

[@pithlyx]

Mario Kart 64 = 0:02:00 Pwn Adventure Z = 0:08:53 Zelda II = 0:17:10 Brain Age = 0:27:20 Super Mario Bros. 3 = 0:47:41 Super Mario World = 1:03:26

[@SuperGingerPowder]

Thanks for the quality video m8, sadly missed this a while back

[@Jhoto]

insane insane. brain age was lovely.

[@MoonlightMirage]

Kudos to Weatherton on the Mario Kart 64 TAS run :D Brain Age lmao Also, that SMB3 easter egg is crazy lmao

[@AlisionIsUnreal]

Now i want to see a dramatized version of that Zelda II run. Some animator, get on it!

[@Mayhemzz]

I would actually love to see the list of inputs required to make Mario 3 break like that.

[@cmyk8964]

Basically, SMB3 reads the joypad state at least twice until it receives the same state twice in a row. The TAS overwhelms the game by changing the input between every joypad read, injecting code and writing into areas that shouldn’t be touched. So the inputs would have to be really fast, really dense, and make no apparent sense.

[@cozyin]

Shoutout to Sethbling, he used to work at Microsoft, then he was a Minecraft Masterpiece builder, one of his builds got featured in a book, and i got that one book! He's an awesome dude, really!

[@psychokinesis878]

The person laughing in the background stole my heart

[@cozyin]

Congratz on hitting 900K sweet dollahz!

[@fisplays-therealfis7457]

lmfao i could imagine the twitch chat going crazy with the emotes 😂

[@Knux576]

+FISPlays - @TheRealFIS Dude you should have seen it, it was chaos.

[@KidKenai]

there's a KZbin video with Brain age with chat

[@random0clock]

There's another video of the Brain Age run with the chat. Whenever an emote came up, the chat would spam it until something else appeared. It's pretty entertaining.

[@KidKenai]

Random O'Clock most people call it cancerous but it's indeed entertaining

[@russefarmer]

When SMW breaks: EST: WAT

[@Kozzii7828]

Run starts at 1:56

[@jimbo1722]

TAS block will be the biggest generation GDQ knows it. At least for the summer, someone will donate to play SM64 with that Droid64 instead of RobTAS. I basically love this

[@QuantemDeconstructor]

He has nostyle He has nograce This TAS Has a funny save (name)

[@Tedster93]

I just witnessed some of my favourite games ever get utterly destroyed... And I absolutely loved it!

[@ZetaMAGES]

Hahaha that color a dinosaur part hahah. Actually the whole video tbh haha.

[@renakunisaki]

So did the Brain Age run use the "draw picture while the game ignores it, then draw real answer invisibly" trick? Or did it actually get those drawings accepted as answers? Loved the beginning with TASBot crashing and rebooting, and being unable to get the game to recognize a zero. The smartass answers were pretty great too. The actual drawings were less interesting, just random memes and characters mostly, but I guess it's hard to come up with 120 hilarious scenes.

[@Jako3334074]

+Rena Kunisaki Those drawings were actually accepted as answers. If you wanna read more about it I suppose you could find the submission notes for the Brain Age TAS.

[@MattTheCommenter]

Zzzzzx I thought the shape of the numbers is eventually drawn out in the picture, also why tf does Barney work

[@Disatiere]

@@MattTheCommenter It tries to guess what number you drew even if its not a number so if it thinks X looks like a 6 more than any other number, it says its a six

[@gator12321101]

I lost it on the brain age rick roll with the line sound playing the song!!! lol

[@SpongeMagic]

The Brain Age portion was incredible.

[@orderlychaos314]

The QR Code was a link to the TAS Bot website

[@Valegator]

26:00 Brain Age

[@LordHypnos4]

And as always you can hear blue glass's howls of delight echo and overpower everyone else

[@cozyin]

41:38 If you look closely, you can see it spells "Nine Times Five"

[@InFluxCapacitor]

No shit sherlock

[@InFluxCapacitor]

No shit sherlock

[@cactusyackestudios]

Wow que increíble excelente trabajo para hacer el Tas.

[@OrangeHarrisonRB3]

Who keeps mouth breathing into the mic during the entire brain age run

[@FoxDren]

Probably my favourite part of agdq

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

i believe the AGDQ in the title of this video stands for annual global daily quest but im likely wrong

[@spicyhotcakes4191]

Always that one dude dying of laughter in the background!

[@world9gaming978]

This was so much fun to watch!

[@pbandjellyyy]

it's amazing what technology can do to this day

[@Snackies]

Wow, never knew Toad was Asian

[@everfluctuating]

well he is a character in a japanese game...

[@hecko-yes]

+Dem Mario is from the same game and he's Italian.

[@everfluctuating]

+Sobsz / before ToCzegoSzukasz toad is from the mushroom kingdom. mario is not.

[@hecko-yes]

Oh, of course.

[@ultrixsoma2736]

He is italian american, he is from Brooklyn.

[@MrSuperBrite]

I can hear YSG.

[@PerfectPatrickHH]

Sounds like heaven

[@SirNikurasu]

highlight of the stream

[@TheBigL1]

The Mario 3 run just killed me. We Mariotroid and MMMMMM now

[@TecknoVicking]

Still best TASblock in 2020.

[@CrasherX2000]

I never realized how bad the rubber-banding was in MK64 was until I saw that TAS

[@SirNikurasu]

blueglass' laugh is hilarious :D

[@xRaisn]

The Brain Age Run was so fucking hilarious and cool! :D

[@TheDendran]

WTF WAS THAT WITCHERY WITH SMB3? Also: "TURTLE" is not a command

[@epicbrodieable]

15:50 holy shit that guy was like 4 seconds off from a tasbot. That is ridiculously impressive.

[@OXXOI77777]

So many newgrounds references in he brainage run that nobody knew

[@tpfrecoil2837]

Blueglass' laugh cures my mesothelioma.

[@SpongeMagic]

I want to see them do Super Ultra Kaizo Memeio Road 128 Stars Extreme Edition Revenge Deluxe for AGDQ 2017.

[@yinan02]

Anyone know that that image at the end of Brain Age leads you to?

[@swoogity]

It simply leads to the tasvideos.org website.

[@fifoffjfufs]

Was the 'swag swag swag' from a previous TAS? Can someone link it if it is?

[@fifoffjfufs]

+shinobinha Good call, thanks.

[@mariav72atverizonnet]

Tasbot is my spirit animal

[@spartanretro]

2:37 Just now realized it beat Wario Stadium in 0:11.34. What does 1134 read upside down? On a side note, I just now realized this video was released on my birthday. Thank you +TASVideosChannel!

[@YouKnowThisMANE]

2 things will always remain a constant in speedrunning : 1 - completing games as fast as possible 2 - blueglasses extremely high and incredibly obnoxious laugh. nice guy though

[@cozyin]

1:25 Mario Kart 64 Star Cup TAS 9:00 TASBot VS Humans (4-way Multispecies Race) 27:20 TASBot plays Brain Age And I'm not doing the rest because 1: I'm lazy, and 2. Someone else did this already.

[@cntm51]

hear that one dude just soaking himself there in the background.

[@ForzaNinetails]

I see (hear) that the howling spectator was there again in 2016

[@Magerquark]

the best part of this is blueglass laugh in the background

[@NovaCyn]

Its good to know we can just bump our robot overlords to take control back

[@porcu93]

BTW when TASbot's drawing Rick Astley it's actually making the song

[@Michael-gi7nx]

The Brain Age one was great.

[@LonePhoenix36]

29:38 Put in x0.5 speed for Blueglass climax

[@That1Guy..]

I'm pretty sure the crowd meant to say Green Mario instead of that imposter name...

[@ParanoeX]

Super Mario Bros 3 would've been so much better if you could play it like that!

[@joelwallenius2877]

Are all those Mario 3 things actually in the game? That's nuts.

[@Sonicgott]

That wasn’t a race... that was a slaughter...

[@souleaterevans4589]

1:15:24 Leave it to Twitch chat to find everything breakable in 10 minutes that the creators of that setup didn't in all of development.
