Post your favorite speedruns/speedrunners here. I ship zfg, the current WR holder in OoT 100%: https://www.twitch.tv/zfg1. Chat is a constant barrage of Shrek ogre memes, but overall good intelligent commentary during gameplay. OoT is right up there with EQ on the nostalgiometer for me.

I like the idea of speedrunning, but the amount of people in that community who Any% their gender transition is astounding.

This BotW bullet-time bounce trick which launches you from Temple of Time to Hyrule Castle is pretty incredible to watch: https://youtu.be/FCY9whCTyas

i run Resident Evil 2 and SotN. been awhile so cant remember times, but i did have my only record-competitive Claire A end with my decapitation by a hunter in the last room before the final boss. my husband was like "eat the herb for christs sake retard" 10 seconds before it happened, but i was going for swag points planning to engage boss at yellow caution.

fucking thing curved around a corner in mid-air, flying squirrel physics.

i havent ever run since.

RE2 in particular is a great LSD run, can do A and B in 2 hours and theres hilariuos cutscenes for the onlookers. it's also hentai as shit, the story revolves around G virus dad implanting an embryo from his body into his 9 yr old voice acted daughter. among other graphic perversion. the spacial reasoning involved in speeding past zombies without combat is orgasmically fun. great game.

link stuff is gay.

Nothing will top the tetris speedrun with the invisible bricks from a couple years ago. Blew my mind.

I enjoy speedruns that break the game. The somewhat recent Super Mario World speedruns where you can reprogram the memory by doing certain things at certain positions so when you crash the game a certain way it doesn't hardlock the game but just runs the ending.

My absolute favorite is A Boy and his Blob.

https://youtu.be/1tdRGkjHdwA

He makes a manhole to drop into the ending title cards, runs past it to the last boss room minus the boss, reloads it so the boss spawns to make the ending title cards actually trigger, and drops through the world again into actual memory space back to the ending.

There is also a Castlevania 2 speedruns that does the same thing where the runner climbs stairs in memory space until he gets to the last boss skipping a good 80% of the levels

i love this stuff too. there's a SotN run where you manipulate inventory a particular way, use a library card, and the ending plays. I can't find the video right now.

what the actual fuck

i saw some shit about him posting jordan peterson and thought "oh yeah that's kind of a red flag but whatever, people believe dumb shit so fine" but this is... i'm not even halfway through this post and i'm just dumbfounded and horrified at the same time

[ScaringChildren]

I'm surprised an Alt-Righter would even be affiliated with GDQ.

1) It's retarded, run by cuckbois.

2) Speed running is for autists, and autists are more useful hunting down ISIS drone targets.

3) Video games prevent creating a nuclear family.

They wouldn't allow that.

It's a "problematic" title.
