Alaska, USAHello all! My name is Alex and I'm one of the hosts of the Forever Classic Podcast. We're having Vlad on the publishing side of Sinner as a guest tomorrow and are looking for any community questions you may have.
Either respond to this thread or find me on Twitter @4EverClassic105
I'm really interested in seeing what speedrunners have to ask.
Super cool interview. I can't even beat the game on Pro, let alone do it fast.
My favorite time of year! So many awesome runs and this one had me cheering and laughing. Monty also just happens to be a super energetic streamer and super fun guy to talk with.
If you haven't seen his work, check him out.

Ello all! I do articles on speedrunning for the Editorial side of Twin Galaxies. This race had me cheering through and through. Congrats to the runners and this excellent speed community!
Hello all! I'm Alex and I am the speedrun guy over at TG. Check out my latest piece with DKS. I'm still working out the best ways to share these sorts of articles with people.
Anyways it was a pleasure to talk with DKS and good luck to Switch runs! Get Funky out there.
Hello there Spyro community. Those of you who are on the Discord may remember me from the Reignited news I did, but for those who are not, I'm Alex and I'm a writer at Twin Galaxies in my spare time.
I have two Spyro-related articles I want to share with you all.
One with ChrisLBC about running the trifecta

and the other with AlexDest on Ripto's Rage 100%
Hello all,
Alex here from Twin Galaxies, I'd like to start sharing some of these articles with you guys since a lot of my data comes from SR.com
https://www.twingalaxies.com/feed_details.php/1146/god-of-war-3-speedrun-down-with-olympus/4
So yeah, I chatted with Ragnell about GoW3 and we predict some of the early submissions for GoW PS4.
Hello all!
If you saw my post in the introductions area, I'm a writer for Twin Galaxies and I cover speedruns, which is great cause I can essentially write about any game ever as long as I can get quotes. This results in a ton of interviews and this one I did on zserf who might be the fastest blindfolded runner of SM64. It's a pretty wild run and really cool interview, so check it out.
BTW, if there's a better place for these sort of posts to go, rather than the game they're about let me know mods. I want to share this sort of work with you all, but in a way that's cool and organic.
Thanks, stay cool!
Salutations good folk!
So, I'm Alex McCumbers and a few months ago our Editor Jesse introduced himself here. For whatever reason, I never did say hello to the entirety of Speedrun.com which is weird since when it comes to speedruns, I'm the main guy for it on TG.
This is what I have covered so far https://www.twingalaxies.com/feed.php?authid=4
Over the last few months, I have had some absolutely amazing interviews with some fantastic runners of all sorts. Unfortunately, since I am part-time at TG and a full time radio reporter by day, I haven't had nearly the output I would like. Our speedrun pieces also are rarely trending topics, which makes them a hard sell. This is why I recently did a piece on God of War, to align with that trend due to the new release. This is also why I'll probably pick up a story on Far Cry 5 runners.
Anyways, I want to continue making excellent content for TG about speedrunners, so I may need some broader assistance. We get some great support from the various communities I tap into, but it could always be stronger.
I also think that there are better ways for me to go about making content, so any ideas on that front are much appreciated. Know that it has to be people focused with quotes 99% of the time. Our owners are very against product focused content.
The only thing I ask is to not pester me about getting your run an article. There are WAY too many good runs out there and I wish I could cover all of them, but I can only do so much. Do feel free to ask me whatever though, just don't be surprised if I can't pick up that story.
So yeah, speedruns. I write about them on Twin Galaxies.
