I mean, sure it's cool to post something like thet on youtube , I understand thet.

Yeah. The point is to make a cool thing that looks awesome and stuff. But it goes beyond just fast times; it's an opportunity to show off crazy glitches and tricks that no human could pull off.

And then you have stuff like this guy that beat Mega Man X and X2 simultaneously (i.e., with the same set of controller inputs):
TASVideos movies: #380

Or these dudes that did the same with four Mega Man games at once:
TASVideos movies: #871

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Based on the time, I'm guessing that's Quake Done Quicker (or Quake Done Quick with a Vengeance; it's hard to tell how much time I should subtract for the pauses between levels). If so: it is legitimate human skill, but it's not a single-segment run. Each level is recorded individually, and there are usually multiple people contributing to the project.

The current record for a single-segment run (known as a "marathon") is 19:50.
SDA: Marathons

How ya doing, buddy?
