I think the coolest speedrunner is the one who spends the most money on having a version with the official seal that loads the fastest.

Some speed runs are kinda cool but then some are really loving bad like when
some dude wants to play ff8 or some gay jrpg that takes 120 hours to complete

*mashs past text menus nonstop for hours on end*

I have a friend who got highly illegal and permabannable pre-release roms of fusion and zero mission and he and I published the first 100% zero mission maps before the game was even for sale. then i stopped gaming forever.

yeah that charity thing is really dumb if you're not into speedruns. They always try to pick games for it that will "draw in people from outside the community" but it never works because the vast majority of people would rather watch someone play a game the way they know how instead of clipping through walls and tricking the game into loading the credits before you fight the final boss.

getting drunk as heck in a hotel for a week is pretty fun though you should try to go to one of the events in person.

oh this is the speedrun thread not the metroid thread. I like to take my time in games but in alien level 2 of AvP there's a time challenge where you have to beat it in under 3 minutes and for some reason even after I unlocked the achievement or whatever I kept trying it until I could do it in 1:39. that's my only speedrun story and those are my only two gaming accomplishments ever

It's cancer prevention. They spend money researching ways to test for cancer and hosting community screenings for people without health insurance.

get them to release those to tcrf or something if they're not already out

the only speedrun that's really blown my mind was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0LqjrkpZ1A because it's explains what happens and it involves frameperfect tricks and memory editing done in active time non-TASed

i can't imagine getting in to the 'speedrunning community' now because 1) all the good games are taken by people way more experienced and better than you and 2) spending the amount of time to learn a bad / obscure game seems like a waste of time
