My friends, GoldenEye 007 needs to see 7 more seconds of time cut to reach a 'total time' of 1'09'59. This is widely believed throughout the community to be the final barrier that GoldenEye will ever reach, in terms of total time, representing a near total optimization of the game. In this video, we'll explore the history of GoldenEye's barrier breaks, examine speedrun history of the game, read some ancient forum threads to provide insight on the matter, give speedrun analysis on which records might be possible, and dive further on whether or not such a remarkable thing will happen!
00:00 Intro & Background
02:10 History of Barrier Breaks
10:44 How Will We Get There?
