I sometimes watch video compilations of speedrunners failing runs, screaming and smashing stuff. They're all lunatics.

I like the complete opposite in LongPlays.

Always down for a good Speedrun Marathon. Plus the fact they made over $2M for charity *twice* last year is nothing to be sniffed at.

Could have been written as a sketch, "it's not glitchless then is it?"

Spoiler - it basically was, they arranged it beforehand. The guy criticising him also does a very entertaining Skyrim run.

My personal favourite would be this one https://youtu.be/H50nqenYMDM

Fascinated with speed runs. Incredible level of dedication to shave milliseconds off some sort of Mario.

I AM IN MY ARMCHAIR DOING A FUNNY EDITING JOB ON HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO DO A PRESENTATIONAL THING ON GAMES AND THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS COME OFF

WHAT A LOSESHIT! (THEM NOT ME, I CLEARLY HAVE A TOTAL GRASP OF SOCIALS)

I love this so much. "I would really prefer it if you would be quiet."

Yeah they're all smelly CEX Monster drinkers but the Hollow Knight run was fucking excellent

A bit disspointed in The Messenger Run, as a lot of it was just clipping out of bounds and walking across the top of the level, skipping most of the bosses.

That's what speedrunning is by definition though right? Exploiting games to play them as fast as possible.

Depends what category it is. There are categories like Glitchless and No Out Of Bounds. For a game that has a lot of movment options, its a shame not to see the more intresting (to me) high exectution movement and quick boss kill strategies.

Thursday

The best one's are always a combination of both I think, weird glitches and exploits are interesting, but you also want to see someone be incredibly good at the game.

Anyway the schedule for this is appalling for UK folk.

I'm a sucker for GDQ, this Tomb Raider 2 run this year is marvelous, a game I hold very close to my heart. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wHFZ15zzoM4

So many $1000 donations. Who are all these super rich people that are apparently really into speed-running?

Cold Meat Platter

I would imagine a lot of those are proxies for the streamer themselves, to try to normalise the idea of paying non-trivial sums of cash to them. Maybe i'm paranoid ...

Z

Well... they're not private donations and they are for charity. 1k straight into the streamers pocket would be a bit weirder.
