I remember I gave up on Bionic Commando when a book I bought stated there was no way to beat the last boss, the so-called Frankenstein-like character. But after viewing that vid, he's clearly got Hitler's head.

You know, I think no matter what we think to do on here, Wikipedia's already got us beat -- in monumental ways. I'm gonna do my next post about Wikipedia and that'll be the end of it. My God.

Though Doom apparently was the first game to really have any popularity in speedrunning, SMB has gotta have the most videos out there. It's like a science, the way these people blow through World 1-1. Watch this: it's the natural extension of speedrunning -- a Super Mario Bros. race, and infront of an audience to boot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNIMfcPATns Also, take a look at Wikipedia's article on speedruning. It's surprisingly extensive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedrun Furthermore, you kinda have to mention Super Mario Bros. when you’re talking about speedrunning.

I beat it once and only once. Even now, whenever I go to my Mum's where the NES is still plugged in, I give it a go, only to be crushed by the security systems inside the Technodrome. Another motherfucker of an NES game starring man-sized brawling green waterdwellers? Battletoads. THAT one I never beat, even with a Game Genie. But I did recently see a speedrun that BLEW MY MIND. http://youtube.com/watch?v=PIYZgOpXCwQ Just bare in mind that this (and possibly some of the above) are tool-assisted: Battletoads is actually being played in slow-motion with edits between levels and such.
