As I mentioned about a month back, I’m still pretty new to the whole speedrunning scene. Truth is, they’re usually something of a hassle to watch. You’ve gotta download the whole shebang or you’ve got to watch like eight parts of the same run on YouTube. I demand instant gratification from the internet at all times!
Which is why I’m pretty thrilled that the go-to source for all things speedrunning, Speed Demos Archive, now has most of their catalog of world-record runs viewable as flash videos! Apparently, this has been the case for ages and I am just very late to the party. To celebrate the discovery, what do you say we all head over there and watch Chris Kirk’s thirty-four minute run of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! WOO!
