Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy has had one hell of a timeline when it comes to lowering the power cell count from it's intended 77 cells, all the way down to 8. In this video, we'll be taking a look at how speedrunners got past the massive walls the game laid out in front of them.
Special thanks to everyone who helped make this video possible. BobbyKaze, onetabloid, Kuitar, Ruh and more.
Planet Orxon in Ratchet & Clank is one of the most infamous planets in the game for many reasons. In today's video we will be taking a deep dive into the unsolved mystery of this toxic planet.
Massive thanks to isaki for all the help in the creation phase of the video.
Also special thanks to doesthisusername, onetabloid, nanohologuise, mantodea and everyone else in the community.
It's spooky season, and that means it's time to cover one of my favourite games ever made, Silent Hill. This month, a Tool-Assisted Speedrun of Silent Hill that had been in the works for over a year is finally finished. In this video i go through what the TAS does to save time over a regular any% run, some of the issues Andyrion had to face when TASsing Silent Hill, as well as general gameplay trivia that you may be unfamiliar with. Enjoy as always
Special thanks to all the Silent Hill runners that helped me in making this video possible.
All music used in the video is from Silent Hill's original soundtrack.
Artificial Intelligence has been used in various fields to test the limits of what is possible, and to aid optimization. Today i will be talking about how AI has not yet seen full utilization in speedrunning and how possibly a few years down the line we could see a renaissance.
The Hover Glitch was discovered on October 16th 2014 by Unreal704. His discovery was unlike anything we had ever seen in the community at the time. How much did it affect the games and it's speedrun categories? How much time was shaved off? And was it really as easy to perform as it looked?

Around 2010-2014, time trials and chapter runs were the main form of competition in Mirror's Edge on PC. Three players took the time trials to a completely new level, and shaped the landscape of the movement in the game. It would be years before people would catch up to their skill. Who were they? You're gonna have to watch and find out.

In this video i wanted to shed some light on Krew Skip, because it is not a very understood trick. It was discovered in 2014 and not much is understood on how it happened, so i decided to break it down. Hope you enjoy.

..It's in spanish cause it's fasterMy AGDQ 2018 ExperienceThaRixer2018-01-18 | AGDQ also known as Awesome Games Done Quick 2018 is a speedrunning event in Herndon VA. It's a week long speedrun marathon raising money for the prevent cancer foundation. I had two runs in this event, one of them being Ratchet & Clank, the other being Dog's Life. The event raised over $2.2 Million and is an all time high for the event.
Besides being there to play the games, i also hung around my friends, and had fun! So i compiled a video of my trip to the event. I'm sorry for the blurry cameras, it's basically my shitty iPhone 5c and my iPad, but it's better than nothing! Maybe one day i can afford something better.

Never in my life would i have thought i would skip straight over 1:18 and go straight to 1:17. That is absolute madness.
There is a skip in this run that i missed out on. But i was only informed about this skip after i got this time. No clue how much time it saves, but it's in the range of 25 seconds. It's very difficult to do from my testing so i don't quite know if it will be RTA viable. If it does turn out to be RTA viable i may have to try and beat this run sometime.
Farelly below average early game. I can definitely get way faster times at the start. The timeloss at the medusa where i missed the quick time event up, was one of the worst mistakes in the run, losing me about 10 seconds. Otherwise, reset sea, swimming and whatnot could have been a lot better too.
Midgame was pretty damn good, made very few mistakes, missed a jump after the rope part after the fireballs. The movement after getting Army of Hades was very sloppy however. Got the wrong camera, and got bad luck with the enemies getting in my way.
End game was really strong too. Cliffs of Madness was near perfect. Hades was decent, only losing about 4-5 seconds due to a bad rotator cycle at the start, making me wait a bit more. Final bosses were excellent too.
Not an unbeatable run, but the way it was all built up was incredible. It all just built up to me playing really good and ultimately skipping 1:18.
