I have a love hate kinda relationship with these types of run. It's cool to see the glitches, but they can sometimes be quite boring. I've only just turned it on and he's been trying to do the same glitch jump for three minutes straight.

Yeah, when it doesn't work, it REALLY doesn't work.

Remember that Zelda OoT glitch run from I think last year where the poor runner spent about 20 minutes trying to glitch through a door in the first dungeon? :lol:

I think I missed that one, but I remember hearing about it.

I definitely prefer runs where they actually play the game. Glitch runs always seem to skip a lot of the fun parts.

They're only ever entertaining when you know the game inside out. I haven't played Doom yet so this suuuuucks.

That was quite funny.
What game was it where that actually happened last time?

Really? I mean that helps, but there's so many games I'd never even heard of before that I still enjoyed seeing a speedrun of. Sometimes it's because the runner (or someone one the couch) gives really good commentary. Sometimes it's just because it's a race.
But sometimes the way in which games get broken is just entertaining in and of itself.

strawberry floated if I know but it's good to see Bethesda keeping up the good work on releasing solid, non bug filled games.

C'mon, you wouldn't find any of these glitches unless you went out specifically trying to break the game as these runners do. It's hardly an Elder Scrolls or Fallout type situation.

Sure, sometimes it can be but a glitch run like the one we just saw, where most time is spent getting a glitch just right to walk over and not see most of the game is mostly dull.

On the plus side, it didn't spoil much of the game for you!

The guy playing as small Mario made a big mistake by doing so. No way he's gonna get back into it now.

I love this commentator, though!

Andrew :(. He was so close to catching up, too. Darbian is running away with this.
