    There is no real point to it. It's meaningless. But guys who don't have much else going for them than video games (which is nothing) see it as a worthwhile activity with significant achievement. They're gays.

    I only agree with the poster inasmuch as I don't think anyone should speedrun a new game right from the off. Speedrunning should ideally be used for games that have been a while, that are well worn through many plays, and should be done so without too much seriousness attached and in the spirit of fun. If you're speedrunning because you want to challenge yourself for fun to see how fast you can beat a classic you've played for years then that's fine while if you're getting a new title just to speedrun it and stress over being the first to get that world record run then you seriously need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

          No. One of the best parts of Ganker is reposting posts you saw earlier and liked to keep them in rotation forever. If you want novelty, go to /LULZ/.

          That's rich, calling someone an autistic morongay when you're an autistic archivegay. Do you remember literally every spammed OP topic so you can screencap their """""evidence"""""?

    I used to like speedrunning because they cause a lot of effort to be focused on exploring game mechanics. You can learn a lot about a game after watching a speedrun about it. And to a lesser extent, it's very interesting seeing how you can break a game to beat it as easily as possible, often with minimal mechanical skill involved depending on the game.
    I stopped watching it when there were too many fat ugly people dressed like fags on screen but sometimes I'll still finish a game and look up a random speedrun on youtube to see what cool things you can do.

    It's a way to gain localized status in a way that is dependent entirely on how much time you have to put into it.
    I'm a world where 10 IQ points can mean the difference between barely paying rent and able to be useful to society, speed running is a good artificial way to for people who need external validation to feel useful in a way people will validate.

      Flyfishing is an outdoor sport so, unlike speedrunning, your body doesn't produce estrogen during it.

    Speedrunning in the early days was fun, coming up with unique strats yourself, glitch hunting etc. Now unless its a new game its all explored inside out and games are broken to the point that it just isnt fun anymore because of the insane level of difficulty needed to save like 10 seconds and get the wr or whatevr

    Speedrunners don't need to defend themselves from low IQ monkeys who can't understand the drive for competition and striving to be the best.

      You're right. Speedrunners need to worry about defending themselves from sex offender registries and stray nooses.

    To prove that it can be done. The problem is when combined with autism it turns into all-encompassing life goal instead of staying as merely an interesting side thing. For some reason it melds with the idea of cutting off one's dick and balls too.
