Hollow Knight (Any% NMG)

Mar 03 2025 70 mins

We picked a cozy little speedrun to say “goodbye for now” to our friends Rubie and Brad. The runner SkateKing was even nice enough to put on some Celeste music for us, as we make all the wrong choices on the way to a WR. Thanks again to Brad and Rubie for being the best damn cohosts and friends Watch SkateKing’s run with us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rqbJHLa9fMListen t

Super Mario Sunshine (Any%)

Dontcha just hate it when you and the Princess of your kingdom go on vacation together in her private jet to Italy, but then you also show up to vandalize everything with a brush, causing you to get convicted for all the graffiti the other you did? I know right, life sucks sometimes, but don’t let that get you down. Brad, Rubie, and Luigi are here to talk about video games! Now d

Shadow of the Colossus (NTA Boss Rush)

Jan 04 2025 65 mins

Well hello! Fancy meeting you here, clinging to the back hair s of an ancient giant guardian. Don't mind me, I've just nestled into this beast to listen to my favorite podcast talk about Rubie's favorite game. They're even teaching me how to stab 1.9 times! That's sure to come in handy once I muster up the courage to move from this spot. In fact, if you're also here to slay this th

Merry Gnarfmas to you and yours and welcome to Need For Speedrunning! As a treat for you this holiday season, we're looking at a run starring everyone's favorite person in a red suit: Spider-Man.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (Any%)

Nov 02 2024 60 mins

Hey everyone! While I think of a bed joke, come on in and sit down. The episode, we have Brian from the Zelda Podcast Chat of the Wild to walk us through the already broken speedrun of Echoes of Wisdom. Part Zelda game, part tower builder, a dash of Link, and some menu manipulation combine to make this one of the fastest any% runs in the series. So get comfy, maybe on a bed? There,

Spyro the Dragon (Any%)

Disillusioned knight Bowen (Dennis Quaid) befriends Draco (Sean Connery), the last of the dragons, and the two begin scamming village folk as Bowen repeatedly "kills" Draco for money. Bowen soon learns that Draco is… ok you got me. Dayoman went through the cutscenes so fast that we’re not sure what exactly happened. I was at a loss, so I stole someone’s summary of the 1996 ad

Ori and the Blind Forest (All Skills No OOB/TA)

Jul 06 2024 82 mins

Somehow it took 3 years to do an episode on one of Hobz's favorite speedruns of all time. I'm not sure how this happened. We are commissioning a panel of experts to dig into all of the information we have and issue a report detailing our failures in this regard, and we promise it will never happen again.
