It helps me unwind after a super busy day.
I see you're from Florida! I lived there for 15 years before taking up the national park life!
Finally got around to making an account the other day so I figured I'd introduce myself!
I've been gaming my whole life, but I became interested in speed runs a couple of years ago after watching AGDQ 2012. Then in 2013, I was playing Resident Evil 2 on PS3 one day and I was like "hmm, I wonder how fast people can beat this game!" and I was blown away by the results. At that point I wanted to try this for myself. A little over a year later I completed my goal of completing the game [Claire A in particular] in under an hour.
I live in the Grand Canyon now and got back into running RE2 in the last couple of weeks, and as it stands right now it's the only game that I run. In the future I'll be working on the other three RE2 scenarios before going to another game.
Glad to be on the site finally!
