Speedruns

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedrun

Quote:
A speedrun is a play-through of a computer or video game, in which the whole game or a select part of it, such as a single level, is played with the intent of completing it as quickly as possible, optionally with certain prerequisites, such as collecting every item available. The term is only used in the context of games that were not originally or primarily designed with time-squashing in mind; one generally does not "speedrun" in a racing game (in those cases the game's standard setting for achieving and recording fast times is called a time attack or time trial mode [1]). Both speedrunning and time attacking are often practiced competitively in Internet-based communities.

There are two big subgenres of speedruns: unassisted or regular speedruns [2], and tool-assisted speedruns. Unassisted speedruns are done in real-time using only whatever features there were in the actual game and the original hardware, while tool-assisted speedruns also use features found outside the game in order to create the movie, such as the "save-state" feature found in emulators.

I'm currently trying my best at a speedrun for the SNES game Dino City.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Repeating it for great justice.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
