Speedrun World Records bit.ly/speedWR Speedrunning has grown accessible thanks to Twitch and YouTube – events like Awesome Games Done Quick have raised millions for charity. They tend to focus on the same games, however: perennial hits like OcarinaOf Time, SuperMario64 or Dark Souls. Those looking to marvel at unlikelier fare should head here for a display of the full breadth of the speedrunning community. Every time you click ‘New Run’, you’re treated to a random selection from a huge database of world-record speedruns – perhaps you’ll bag the MassEffect trilogy, but it’s more likely you’ll see someone banging through SpaceHunter, DoubutsuNoMoriE+, Conduit 2, or Jeopardy for the NES. It’s equal parts fascinating and addictive, and who knows – you might even find a streamer whose relentless patter you can stand to subscribe to.
