Nintendo Speedrun Hypnosis
Before the advent of MMORPGs and playing console games over the network, there were one-player games like Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda. These were quite fun to play in groups, provided that I was playing the game and others were watching. For me, it worked out quite well. For others… well, I'd ask them, but they no longer speak to me.
Anyways, I discovered these tool-assisted videos of people playing all sorts of games, called "time attacks" or "speedruns." And the tables were turned. Suddenly I was the one being forced to enjoy the masters play the game.
Well, that's a whole new perspective. It makes me wonder how the hell he got so many bombs. It also gives me something to shoot for, other than playing the game swordless.
