THIS CHANNEL HAS MOVED!

Spasmodic Gaming

and

Bait and Switch Studios
youtube.com/channel/UCU-aNYbD6xuEzY4THyCuDUQ

After everything that happened, I don't identify with the name "slYnki" anymore, and I certainly don't feel very comfortable uploading here anymore. My new personal channel is Spasmodic Gaming, where I will be uploading speedruns, jumping videos, Counter-Strike content, Doom stuff, Half-Life, commentaries, and pretty much whatever I want. If you enjoy the footage on this channel, do subscribe to Spasmodic!

I have also started a new channel with my friend ACXY called Bait and Switch Studios. If you enjoy funny content, or at the very least, two people being stupid in an effort to be funny, while playing games, then BS Studios may tickle your fancy. The idea there is to become famous and make at least $8.00 in YouTube money. You having a good time is a secondary objective. Muhaha.

It's been a fun ride here at Snipe, but as I've moved on, it's time for this channel to go into cryo. I've had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people through this channel. I hope I can see you all over at Spasmodic and BSS! If not, all the best!

Much love

The November Trailer

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-12-11 | After my marathon in 2012, I was eager to host another one, this time running every game on Legendary. I'd intended for this video to serve as mild hype material for the marathon, but after my cheating scandal came to light, I found I didn't have the drive anymore, so I let the project drift into memory. I never quite finished this video, but I found it on the ol' hard drive one day and decided to upload it anyway. It's kinda fun :)

ORIGINAL COMMENTS
I never got around to putting the finishing touches on this video, nor did I ever get around to practicing any routes, given everything that happened. I felt compelled to upload this regardless.

Theres something you all should know

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-11-03 | By this point, the speedrunning community knew of my indiscretions, but my YouTube audience didn't, so I decided to throw this together quickly to make sure it was clear to all. It also served as a
distinct cut off point for me. I didn't identify with slYnki anymore and I wasn't intent on salvaging anything on this channel. I wanted a clean break and a fresh start, so I started Spasmodic Gaming and things have been great since!

ORIGINAL COMMENTS
I definitely don't have my thoughts in order here, I probably could have phrased things better or more completely, but in the end, now you know that my runs were cheated. It's out there now. Not sure what else I can add at this point. I guess we'll see what happens.

That Did The Trick - An Old School Halo 1 Variety Video

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-09-10 | Back in the day, I used to record all of my stuff on VHS tapes. This was pre-capture card slYnki. I sent some tapes off to NOKYARD, insidi0us, scurty, and Lone Starr, but I still held on to some. I had about 25 tapes sitting on my shelf for years. Just recently I borrowed a VCR, sat down for an entire day, and captured everything.

Some of this footage was shown in videos like "The Three Towers: Revisited", "slynk's Project One Clips" and my long lost video, "To The Start of Two Betrayals", but a lot of it has never been seen before. Some of the tricks are new as well. Kind of crazy to consider how long I've held on to these tapes. While this isn't everything I've ever done, it's a good portion of it. I'm delighted to finally bring this footage to you.

As this was captured off of VHS tapes, the quality is abysmal. Sony Vegas also disagreed with a couple of the clips, so the video blacks out for a few seconds at two points. Also, the footage is silent, because the audio wasn't synced to the video nicely, and I wasn't willing to sync up over 100 clips.

Originally I wanted this video to be a bit of a grand production, but I much preferred presenting the footage like this. Barely edited at all. A lot of the videos back then kind of looked like this, they were very footage driven, and I wanted to pay homage to that. I hope you enjoy this little piece of my past.

Envision - A Halo 1 Campaign Jumping Video

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-08-11 | Just some nifty jumps I landed in campaign. I've had these ideas on my mind for a while now, so it was very satisfying to finally sit down one day and land them all. The edit I did was very simple, and very clean. Originally this was going to be a high flying, cinematic masterpiece, but it didn't feel right at all. Being mostly restricted to first person shots was kind of stifling in terms of editing, so I went with a lighter song, and a more old school feel. The footage leads the way in this video. I hope you enjoy!

The Triple Teabag Live Highlights

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-08-09 | I forgot I had this captured. Good times. This was the last clip we wanted to get for A Day of Halo 4, and it was harder then we thought it would be. Always nice when you dive into something you don't know how to do. This video details our endless pursuit of doing something stupid, yet glorious. This is true dedication. Also, this video features myself, acxy and Little Mann, if you're somehow unfamiliar with how awesome we are.

CS:GO - An Hour With My AWP

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-07-28 | My desire to edit a tiny video coincided with my desire to AWP a bunch in CS:GO, but only for a little bit. These are my highlights from an hour of playing. I just left XSplit recording while I played Deathmatch, so enjoy the screen being littered with stuff :D

My First Competitive Match in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Highlights

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-07-25 | I've been playing Deathmatch for quite a while, but I've never bothered with Competitive. That is, until I received a Mission Drop that ordered me to win a match on Mirage, so I decided to play it. Seemed like it could be fun to edit the highlights, so I did! Gave me a chance to practice capturing some CS:GO footage, and I got to play around with my editing a little bit more. Good times. Enjoy!

Imagine - A Short Halo 3 Jumping Video

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-07-22 | I learned shortly after releasing this video that people hated it with intense passion. Honestly, and I can't tell you why, but that fact delighted me immensely. I still watch it from time to time and I rather enjoy it. The ideas are fun! It's objectively not great, of course, but I still like it. I hope to sit down one day and refilm this masterpiece for the modern age, but until then, soak in all its splendor, my beauties.

ORIGINAL COMMENTS
Halo 3 jumps?! Whaaaat? Yes, I've landed some jumps in a game that isn't Halo 1. I landed these jumps some time ago, and after completing "Singular", I decided to focus on getting these out there. I'm not good at Halo 3 jumping at all, so I took the creative route and landed some unique, fun jumps. Nothing too maddening.

Something you will probably notice immediately is the editing. Specifically, the transitions. I've been watching Counter-Strike: Global Offensive frag movies lately, and most of the editors I've watched seem to fancy these types of transitions. One video in particular inspired me so much, to the point where I abandoned my original concept for this video, and mimicked his genius as best I could. I'm referring to the video titled, "Fade" by: Spinns

I personally enjoy the transitions a lot, but I suspect it's one of those things you will either love or hate. I don't believe I'll be making a habit of using these transitions, but it's nice to know how to do them. Another thing I did was play around with the contrast and color correction, which is somewhat new territory for me. I greatly enjoy editing and design work, and I'm eager to improve, so this video is very experimental. I worked very hard on it, and I hope you all enjoy it!

SONG: Vitalic - Fade Away

Singular - A Halo 1 Jumping Video - Featuring Mator!

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-07-10 | A jumping video with a single landing spot. This video is based off of a creative exercise I used to do that ultimately turned into a project. I asked Mator the absolute magician to assist me and it took off from there. Enjoy!

Cute trick on The Library

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-07-01 | Little faster than the standard route. I imagine a flood bump would be much faster though.

Halo 3 - Tour of the MLG v6 Prank Maps

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-06-11 | Back in 2008, MLG was making the switch from V5 maps to V6 maps. It gave me an absolutely amazing idea. The idea was to pose as beta testers for MLG, and claim that we were field testing the new V6 maps. We went into Matchmaking, and invited people into Customs with us.

Little did they know that Stockwell had rigged the maps hilariously. We had hidden custom powerups on all of the maps that essentially turned us into Optimus Prime. The opposing team had no idea until it was too late. We were especially evil, as we'd play the first few minutes legit, then go to our secret caches and ruin peoples lives.

These maps have long since sat on my old Xbox 360, and today I felt like doing a tour of the maps. I would say that everyone we pranked took it well, but I'd be lying to you. Therefore it's a little odd for me to say that these maps are a cherished memory of mine, but whatever. This was the greatest prank Halo has ever seen. If only I had saved some of the footage. Regrets =(

You'll just have to imagine the surprised looks on peoples faces as an invulnerable Hornet appeared on Construct mysteriously, and you'll have to imagine how funny it was to travel at warp speed with a flamethrower and completely roast an entire team to death.

Enjoy!

Half-Life 2 - Old Engine Speedrun in 2:19:49 - RTA - With Scripts

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-06-10 | Just so I'm very clear about this, I am using a bunnyhopping script. I don't bunnyhop with the mousewheel. Also, this is played on Easy. If you'd like an exhaustive backstory to this very special project, read on.

This is a very odd feeling. When Half-Life 2 Done Quick was released, I became inspired to run HL2 single segment. I ran into A LOT of technical difficulties during that time, and my computer wasn't good enough to run FRAPs. Not that it would have mattered, considering my game crashed randomly. Eventually my computer died, and by the time I got back to Half-Life 2, the engine changed. I wasn't used to ABH, so I gave up on the run.

I tried installing the old engine about three times. Executable tried to help, and quadrazid tried to help, but nothing worked. Eventually I tried one last time, and with the help of LotsofS, I actually managed to get the old engine to work. I immediately worked on remembering my old route through the game. It's severely out dated, but it's what I was comfortable with back then, and it's what I'm comfortable with now.

I started this project about 6 years ago, so to see at least one run completed, it's very special to me. I will absolutely work on improving this time, as this run was mistaken ridden, and lacks almost all of the major shortcuts. But in the meantime, I am very pleased with this. Now to tackle Half-Life 1.

Enjoy!

Halo 4 - Fun Trick on Requiem

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-06-03 | At first I wanted to use the antenna as a ramp, but this looked far cooler. You can get a fairly substantial launch as well. It's possible to point in the direction of the hunter area, so this saves a few seconds compared to my old concussion rifle jumps, if done correctly.

Unfiltered: One Day Montage 2

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-05-28 | I remember when Look Before You Leap 2 was released, Jump Theory released a First Person version as well. This popped into my head the other day, and I thought it would be cool to apply to the few montages I've made. I discovered I still had all of my first person shots from my One Day Montage 2 saved, so I edited this together real quick.

It's called Unfiltered because you get to see the clips as they are, with no third person angles. You get to see the chokes, the lead-up, the follow-up, near misses, would-be kills, all of it. I'll be doing one of these for "A Day of Halo 4" as well. Lemme know what you think! Enjoy.

Oh, also, if you haven't seen the original video, I got all of these clips from a single day of playing. It's all me, though some friends of mine were present. acxy, Little Mann, Raigns and NOKYARD are in here :)

Halo 1 - The Library - Legendary - No Damage Play Through

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-05-12 | NOTE: The video is very dark. It wouldn't render properly when I brightened it. Sorry.

I've been bored being sick, so I did this. I didn't have a route in mind, I just kind of made this up as I went along. Took me about an hour. I think there's 20 segments? At some point the screen turns black and it might blink a couple times afterwards. My capture card is awful, and rendering this was a pain.

So, obviously this continues my No Damage series. I don't take any shield damage whatsoever, thus, I don't take any health damage either. Library is a little annoying because of all the popcorn flood everywhere, which nullify checkpoints, and enemies spawn repeatedly unless you advance, so this play through is a mix of aggression and patience. I could bring it under 30 minutes if I wanted to, I took the index chamber very slowly, as well as a few other sections. But I finished it and that's good enough for me. Enjoy.

Aspect - A Halo 1 Jumping Short

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-04-28 | Had some ideas, found a nice song, had a free day :)

Song used: Oddisee - Detroit (Thanks, blasdfa!)

Regarding the editing, I experimented a little. Largely with contrast, and I played around with the text a little bit. I'm happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you think!

CS:GO - 1v1 Highlights with Skime

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-04-27 | So, I was streaming a week ago, and a man named, "Skime" asked me in the chat if I had Steam, and if he could add me. I said yes, of course. He then asked me if I'd be interested in playing some 1v1's in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. We played for almost 2 hours the other day, so I made a little highlight video. This is that :)

Song Used:
Chief - Another Brazilian Beat

Silent Cartographer in 3:44 - Former WR!

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-04-08 | The first run of SC featuring the first iteration of the nade stack.

Cool edge slide on Two Betrayals

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-04-07 | The result can be far more dramatic than this too =)

Halo 1 - 2 Scorpions On Top of Sidewinder

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-31 | 2 Scorpions
3 Controllers
1 slYnki

This is a little trick I did a short while ago, and I thought it was interesting enough to show. People have gotten tanks on top of Sidewinder before, but I don't believe anyone has done it while controlling three controllers simultaneously. Aside from Ms. Man and his 10 controllers :D A small twist on a classic! Enjoy.

A Day of Halo 4 - A Halo 4 Funtage with acxy and Little Mann

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-31 | To give you the brief backstory behind this project. acxy got a 3 month account, and somehow, we all ended up on Halo 4. I suggested it would be hilarious if we all had auto sentries, and the video took off from there. We had an enormous amount of fun making this video and we hope you enjoy! Don't give up on Halo 4 just yet! If you have some good friends with you, entertainment abounds.

Songs Used:
Gramatik - Straight off The Block
Gramatik - Funk It Down (Original Mix)
Gramatik - Shaft Funk

Regarding the editing. I played around with text a little more in this video, as well as the contrast settings for the first time. Transitions are still my weak point, but I think it turned out pretty good! Let me know what you think of the editing and filming and such. I'm pretty proud of it, but I'm always looking to improve :)

slYnki and acxy - Playthrough Portal 2 Co-op - Part 4

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-06 | In Episode 4, the extremely simple solution to the last chamber in the last episode is revealed. This was to be the theme for this playthrough. acxy and I also finish a chamber immediately by putting a box somewhere we probably weren't supposed to, and acxy goes absolutely CLUTCH in another chamber. Also we get scared shitless in another chamber. Enjoy!

slYnki and acxy - Playthrough Portal 2 Co-op - Part 3

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-05 | In Episode 3, acxy and I struggle with the concept of coordinating portals to result in launching each other, and we encounter our first chamber that we got stuck on. Also, this chapter seemed to be very ball-filled. Not sure why that is. Enjoy! =D

slYnki and acxy - Playthrough Portal 2 Co-op - Part 2

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-05 | Continuing our journey through Portal 2, a game designed to humiliate yourself in the hopes that you find enjoyment somewhere. In Part 2, acxy still remains a quiet little mouse, I learn that lasers can penetrate glass, we totally bunny hop our way through a chamber to skip the balls out of it, and I talk about a bed shaped like toast, while refusing to end the episode when I said I would. It's exactly as awesome as you are imagining it. Enjoy!

slYnki and acxy Play Half-Life 2 - Part 2

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-05 | As acxy has finally gotten around to putting this video together, we now continue our crusade through Half-Life 2. In today's episode, we discover the power of the stun stick, encounter combine soldiers capable of violent front flips via cranial bullet intrusion, and pretty much do everything possible to compromise the entire rail road. I hope you enjoy this episode, and may it satisfy you until acxy releases the third episode in 2016 =D

Halo 3: ODST - New Speedrunning Tricks - Featuring: Chappified and ZealotSG!

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-03 | And here I thought there wasn't anything else to find in this game! I found a few minor things here and there. Chappified and Zealot found some things as well, and were kind enough to collaborate with me! Check out their channels, will you?

Chapp: youtube.com/channel/UCd-PyVa9dIEMh4Cj6ybbbzw
Zealot: youtube.com/channel/UCAH1fJys1xXmvko-JENEWSw

The tricks:

- Hehe, I found this while recording yesterday. This launch can be far more dramatic than this, and if you don't bounce off the poll (no way to say that in a clean way), I'm sure it saves time. This is on Prepare To Drop, obviously.

- Jumping down those hallways is annoying because of the weird ceiling, but you can gain a couple seconds if you do it right. Also on Prepare To Drop.

- New slide at the beginning of Tayari. There's a few different slide jumps in that area, I thought I'd contribute this one.

- Nifty little launch on Tayari. Who doesn't love a big box? :D

- Slight optimization at the end of Tayari, including the grenade. Instead of doing a straight slide jump off of the ledge, I sort of bounce off of it then jump off the ground to reach the lifepod faster.

- Chappified! Showing off an alternate driving route up to the end of Uplift Reserve.

- Getting out of your ghost ends the level faster on Uplift. Found this by accident :D

- Killing the brute instead of jacking the ghost is like a second faster on Kizingo. Ignore the wraith pinning me to the wall :D

- Little tire launch followed by letting Mickey do all the work at the start of ONI: Alpha Site. Found by Chappified.

- Chappified! Nice little route on NMPD HQ to get to the bridge a touch faster.

- ZealotSG! This is his pylon launch down the bridge on NMPD HQ. The effect is far more dramatic if you launch properly (I didn't, because I'm terrible).

- Chappified! Showing off a nice start to Kikowani Station.

- Kikowani Station. If you push Romeo away from the phantom with a banshee, after a few seconds he'll just rise up into thin air for some reason. If you push him in the direction I did, he'll hop into the phantom. Weeeeeird.

- I guess killing those squid houses on Kikowani skips some dialog and saves some time!

- ZealotSG! Awesome banshee launch to reach the door faster on Kikowani. That launch is harder than it looks. I totally failed at opening the door. My hands were frozen solid. -40C here! What the hell?!

- Data Hive pylon launch #1.

- Data Hive pylon launch #2. Before the launch, nifty little slide jump as well! I showed off these launches in my NG+ run.

- I've always wanted to investigate if the lower area on Data Hive could be faster than the route above. I want to say that it COULD be faster, I haven't tested them side by side yet, but it felt faster.

- Chappified! Nice slide jump to reach the Hammer Brute faster on Data Hive, and an excellent fight too.

- Box launching on Coastal Highway =) Only possible in single segment runs, probably not entirely ideal XD

Even More New Halo 3 Speedrunning Tricks!

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-02 | A slightly old Halo 3 video I forgot I had! Some of these tricks are outdated, so if you care to read the description, I can walk you through each trick :D

- MousseMoose's new jump on Sierra. It's pretty hard since you're blind once you get up top, but it's fast as hell.

- Little faster way of getting to Johnson

- I'm terrible at cone launching, but it's possible! =D

- For a while me and a couple others have been nading that grate against the wall, and then launching off of it. I suggested that putting it against the wall wasn't necessary at all.

- This is cool as hell. If you do it right, the warthog gives you a nice push across the room.

- Tiny box launch on Floodgate to save a second.

- Cliff riding on The Ark. Turns out this was actually super useful! It skips an enemy trigger, which helped Auraxade rush through this area with nothing but a ghost on Legendary. No need for the tank anymore =)

- Since the ghost rush was figured out, jacking the AA wraith wasn't necessary at all.

- DC launch across the same area. The idea was to jack a ghost coming out of the tunnel, but we found a much better spot for a DC launch, and it's earlier in the mission.

- Cute little driving route with the ghost, possibly useful for skipping the ghosts and the wraith on legendary.

- Box launch in the first tower on The Covenant. Angle it right, it takes you clean out the door.

- Box launch at the final tower.

- Scarab To Scarab has actually been completed by ZealotSG! My original idea was to kill the scarab, and jump off. As it's flying back into the map, it bumps into you, launching you towards the other scarab. I had no idea that it launches you off to the right, sadly. But! My good friend Zealot figured out how to do it, and it may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

- Since Scarab To Scarab has been completed, this idea with the hornet is totally useless now, since we make it to the other scarab before the hornet even hits the ground.

- Random weird thing that happened to me while running Cortana. One of those transform-y flood things jumped off of the roof and landed on me, giving me a pretty substantial boost. If I hadn't of hit my head on the ceiling, it could have carried me to the door easily.

Even More New Halo 1 Speedrunning Tricks!

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-01 | NOTE: Trick descriptions below!

A bunch of stuff I've found recently to give Halo 1 runs, particularly single segment runs that extra little boost. It's largely just little optimizations here and there, slight route changes. These tricks have been under wraps for a few months now, and I've decided to share them! Combining all of these tricks saves you about 30 seconds overall. Neat stuff =)

- The jump on Pillar of Autumn saves 1 second compared to the jump off of the stairs. It's tricky, you have to land at the top of the beam, or you slide off, and you have to jump to the left in such a way where you don't hit your head on the beam above. I believe I've shown this jump before, but I wanted it in here for convenience of reference.

- Slightly better grenade jump. Throwing the grenade into the wall so it bounces into you and stops. I jump up and to the right rather than just straight up. The slanted cliff edge carries you up top easier. Saves about a second.

- Killing all of the marines fast enough results in the first dropship landing faster. Specifically, you want to skip the, "I got a covenant dropship coming in, over here!" line. The dropship will start to descend immediately upon reaching its waypoint. This is about 3-4 seconds faster.

- Driving straight at the marines means there's a higher chance of them being grouped together, so you can nade them to death faster. Then I included killing the sniper on the way back to my warthog, instead of getting out of the warthog upon entering the area and killing him from a distance. If done perfectly, this approach is faster. Plus you accomplish the dialog skip later on without having to pause at the top of the hill. Not sure how much time this saves, but it's a good 5-10 seconds potentially.

- Don't ask me how I found this. When you fire a round from your AR, the next wave of enemies on the gravity lift spawns instantly. Line up your grenade perfectly, and you'll save at least 4 seconds. I showed this off briefly in my "dis gun b gud" video.

- New approach to the Map Room on Silent Cartographer. I include a very simple slide jump right at the start, and then a light grenade jump up to the camo. You can grab the camo through the wall jumping up the way I did. With some overshield left over, you can do the huge grenade jump seen in Halo 1 Done Segmented without dying. This should save you about 2-3 seconds overall.

- Instead of jumping on to the ledge and inching your way off, just jump straight off the bridge. Try not to hit your head on the bridge on your way down. This saves about a second. I failed this in my 1:18:xx (IL timing) run :D

- 2-3 seconds faster than the grenade jump up the slanted wall, but riskier. I believe I've shown this off as well, but Phoque wasn't sure about the location of this jump, so I included it.

- Really hard grenade jump, but it saves 1-2 seconds. I THINK I showed this in H1 Done The Cool Way.

- Double rocketing the ghost through the door usually results in it being flipped over. The grenade was designed to flip it over so you wouldn't have to. Flipping the ghost yourself could cost you a second in a worst case scenario, so this could maybe save a second.

- At long last, a consistent way of including The Maw cafeteria bump in single segment runs. When you are running down that hallway just before the cafeteria, you want to strafe to the left of that burning wall, so you load the cafeteria doors breaking animation properly. Bounce a frag grenade off of the wall so it kills the popcorn flood behind you, then get into the corner and crouch. You jump to the first light in the cafeteria, look into the deloaded portion of the map, and you should get a checkpoint every time on Easy. This doesn't work on Legendary. When you get a checkpoint in the ceiling, just drop down below to load the textures, then revert to save. Then jump along solid textures to skip the bridge. This saves about 15-20 seconds if done perfectly. Yay =)

slYnki and acxy - Playthrough Portal 2 Co-op - Part 1

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-03-01 | That's right, it's Portal 2 time! Behold as acxy and I attempt to entertain you with our genius and my babbling lunacy, and solve puzzles together more efficiently than my girlfriend I do when we try to construct IKEA furniture. In this first episode, if you'd like to call it that, I sort of discover what purpose the ping tool holds, and acxy solves everything. Enjoy!

NOTE: acxy is very, very quiet. I recorded an hour of footage, and I only discovered his low volume afterwards. We're not sure what's up with that, but it'll be better after the first 4 episodes =D

Also, I recorded this using XSplit, so the quality may be lackluster compared to FRAPs. FRAPs has this tendency to eat my computer alive, despite my computer being capable of time travel, so I stuck with the simple recording method. I apologize to your eyeballs.

Halo 1 - A Day of Speed Jumps - Jumping Video

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-14 | I found this song that I liked a few days ago, and I couldn't think of any good ideas for a video. Then I realized it's been a looong time since I've done speed jumps in this game, so I decided to sit down today and land some. Enjoy =)

2012 Charity Marathon - Part 6 - Halo 4 in 1:37:01 (IL Timing)

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-05 | That was a loooong day. It was a lot of fun though! This marathon was the first of its kind, and after it concluded, I held the world record in every Halo game at the same time =)

2012 Charity Marathon - Part 4 - Halo 3: ODST - NG - in 1:16:56 (IL Timing)

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-04 | ODST New Game! For those interested in running this category, this route through the Mombasa Streets is a solid place to start. Thanks to RC Master for the route! -- www.twitch.tv/captnhappen/c/3654621&utm_campaign=archive_export&utm_source=captnhappen&utm_medium=youtube

2012 Charity Marathon - Part 3 - Halo 3 in 1:18:12 (IL Timing)

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-03 | Oh, Halo 3. My long time nemesis. I was terrible at this game at the time. Come to think of it, I'm still terrible... No fancy box launches here! My goal here was to just make it through this game, and it was actually surprisingly ok by my standards. Halo 3 still had the last laugh on the final level though.

2012 Charity Marathon - Part 2 - Halo 2 in 1:27:00 (IL Timing)

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-03 | The best part of this run happened before it even started. My disc tray opened first try. It doesn't do that anymore, so even my Xbox itself was into the marathon =D -- www.twitch.tv/captnhappen/c/3654435&utm_campaign=archive_export&utm_source=captnhappen&utm_medium=youtube

2012 Charity Marathon - Part 1 - Halo CE in 1:23:16 (IL Timing)

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-02 | Finally got around to putting the charity marathon on YouTube! Editing the runs together in Vegas was a nightmare, so I just highlighted each game on Twitch, and uploaded to YouTube. Much easier! I'm sorry it has taken me forever to upload these. Enjoy!

Pillar of Autumn, Halo and most of Truth and Reconciliation went missing, and I don't know why. I apologize =(

Best part of the run was clearly the death on The Maw, caused entirely by girlfriend/chat =D

Halo 1 - Bottom of AoTCR to Banshee Launch

slYnki Archive 08-15 2014-02-02 | I felt like tricking today, so I did this launch that I've had in my mind for a while. It's an interesting landing spot, it's super high up, and it's new =) Dear god this was a lot of fun. I have to do this more often! I hope you enjoy.

Thanks to everyone who watched live! I stream a bunch, largely speedruns, so come down and catch me some day!
