DarkLight93 was a speedrunner who gained legendary status, as his speedrunwiki page was frequently updated with descriptions of his incredible speedrunning feats. However, suspicion & controversy grew as these feats didn't seem to add up... years later, DL93 would return to the speedrunning community and reveal all of his claims of speedrun legend were faked! In this video, we compare some of DL93's claims and legacy, with that of fellow speedrun "legend", Todd Rogers.
