Ohio, USAI've been watching AGDQ since I believe 2013. I'm mainly a game designer so the whole "let's break a game and play it" has always been an extremely fascinating topic to me, so I watch every speedrunning even I can and tend to follow people with really good commentary. Eventually, I decided to work on a video talking about the history of speedrunning. When I was working on the video, I decided that I probably should start to speedrun myself so I'm not having to ask for footage from everybody, so I picked up a couple of games that I really enjoy and was decently competent at and decided to do some casual speedruns, then found out that I enjoyed it.
Hey, just in case you have 20 minutes to kill, I made a documentary discussing speedrunning and the community. How it started, how speedrunners look at the game differently, how the community works together to make a route, etc.
Hey there, hopefully this isn't out of place, but I'm a youtuber that focuses on talking about the deep analytical side of games.
I also really like speedrunning, mainly as a observer than a runner. I recently made a video talking about speedrunning and the community, but in a effort to get footage for a lot of it, I've had a crash course into learning how to speedrun myself and found out I really enjoyed it, so I figured I might as well introduce myself to the community!
So far, I only briskly run through Guerilla War (NES) and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (SNES) but have been interested in a few other games as well, mainly obscure ones. I really enjoy TASing as well (suits my perfectionist style better), so I might do a mix of both.
Anyway, just wanted to say "Hey!"
