Hi everyone!
I'm a newcomer to the forum, and technically not one to speedrunning: I've never practiced it online nor took part in competitions, but I used to, with my friends, try and beat games such as the PS2 Ace Combat trilogy or STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl as fast as possible. One of us would be invited by the other, bring his own PS2 or PC and game, and we'd both start in the morning, play side by side and see who finished the game earlier, with "anti cheat systems" such as having said friend talk to you through the toilet door to make sure he's not trying to shove in 2-3 extra minutes while you're doing a pit stop!
So, let's say I practiced it at the amateur level, and that I now want to do it on the professional stage.
See you on the forums!
