I love how the developers are watching the stream with a slight delay but are chatting in real time so we get to hear their reactions about 3 seconds after everyone else. Everyone cheers for a really sick series of jumps, the cheering dies down, and then you hear the devs say something like "Niiiiiiice" or "Holy shit." rofl

Yeah, as if this speedrun wasn't sick enough we now have the developers commentating alot about it. Very interesting stuff.

Yeah, I have such high respect for anyone who runs these super hard games, e.g. Super Meat Boy, I Wanna Be The Guy, because of the control and patience required to perfect these runs.

Yeah, watching a good Super Meat Boy run is always amazing. I can't wait for VVVVVV, for the same reason. If you haven't seen a VVVVVV run before, there's a run of it right after Raelcun's done with SC2. Recommended for the "holy fuck this player is not a human" factor.

So... is this guy a robot, or a normal human? How can one master a xbox360 controller to such degree?

SMB is amazing in terms of the level of execution required for basically the entire duration of the run. Most other mechanically difficult speed runs tend to have sections where the runner can relax a little but platformers like SMB and VVVV just never let up.

Finding out the game you helped develop has ridiculous, level breaking bugs by watching someone exploit/break your game with you as a live audience at a charity event: priceless.

Not to mention, going for 100% in both games is insane. I know a lot of these bandages are extremely difficult to get from personal experience. Likewise with some of the trinkets in VVVVVV (fuck you that one that you have to advance like 6 rooms without collecting a checkpoint! You're the bane of my existence!)
