Gotta go fast! A speedrunning thread

Post by Fluffyumpkins » Mon Jan 05, 2015 11:24 am

Speedrunning is pretty cool, and there happens to be a huge speedrunning marathon going on all week.

If you want to watch any speedruns after they've occurred, there's a nice link dump on Reddit.

The entire event is a fundraiser for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, so consider giving a couple of bucks if you're into speedrunning, preventing cancer, or being a good person. Or just watch the event and have fun.

Man, if you think about it, I'm still working on my first any% completion of Beet and I've been playing that stupid fucking game for like 10+ years. That's like some NetHack levels of difficulty.


You're right though my retard hands will never know the feeling of clearing an incredibly difficult 12 because I am bad and don't know how to adjust my playstyle.
