This short about the Dreamcast game Seaman as played by renowned hacker Jaku is from TASBot Re: Gradius which is the first video in the TASBot Revisited series where the history of how TAS runs were pitched (and how Gradius desynced) at AGDQ 2014. See the full uncut presentation of https://youtu.be/Tx5U_bh2uIk and check out https://TAS.bot/wiki/AGDQ_2014 for more details.
TASBot's very first run at a charity event was on January 5th, 2014 at AGDQ 2014 playing adelikat's TAS of Gradius with two console verification TAS replay attempts on a real console using true's NES/SNES replay device held in TASBot's hands. This TASBot Re: presentation is an opportunity to provide context around past charity event runs with full attribution of the TAS authors and presenters that helped make it all happen and the challenges the TASBot team faced.
