...have a birthday today or not?

ola, s'ok. just don't leave us hangin too much longer. and TAS rocks. those dudes could whip pretty much anyone at single player.

Um... technically DW opened on 3-13-1998. =P

Yes you are . . . . .

What is the actualy point of Tas? They cheat c'mon.

That pic says "Javier Heredia, Doomworld founder". If that's erroneous, then who founded Doomworld?

February 29th isn't special.. but I am! hehehehe :p

The original founders of Doomworld (i.e. the original people) were myself, Covaro, Mordeth, Dukrous (Javier Heredia), and Ricrob. Ricrob quit after like one day, Dukrous left later that year, and the remaining Big Three are still here :P CNN should have said co-founder but whatever.

Ling: That's what I thought :)

we are going to have the sydney olympics this year!! YAY! GO AUSTRALIA!!!

What about Flood? ... and I would have guessed the 29th was the day Mewse finally got some nookie... poor child.

well, i'm not quite sure why this is here :), but the point of TAS is to show what is really possible in doom. to experienced doom runners, tas really provided a bunch of surprises (ask 10 speedrunners if they thought e2m1-035 was possible before tas-ddqr came out...). it also allows many runs which would be simply impossible to do normally to be at least recorded - hell revealed done quick is an excellent example, no-one in a million years could make a non-tas HRDQ run. and finally, the TAS runners most definitely do _not_ suck at doom, in fact, the original group of TAS runners are most of the legendary doom speedrunners - yonatan donner, peo sjoblom etc are big names.

Its special because you said it is....? What kinda shit is this anyway...!
