So how about those speedruns?

So I accidentally got into speedruns lately, I used to see them as just a fast play through and wouldn't see it unless I really wanted to see a certain part of the game, or how gameplay works, but recently there was a speedrun marathon in speed demos archive and it started, from Tony hawk to Serious sam there were tons of speedruns, and I found them a great way to kill boredom.

And of course Mario 64 which is what got me hooked the most, it is just so impressive to see a guy do in a minute what could take you 20 to do, the am amount of dedication and skill all these speedrunners have is truly impressive and lately there have been a lot of world record attempts/speedrun races, always fun to see too guys going as fast as they can cringing every time they can't get the perfect jump.
