Speedrunning SC, revisited
Last year, we hosted the Going Nowhere Fast competition - taking speedrunning to a new level. It inspired the creation of highspeedhalo.org, a website devoted to Halo speedruns. A couple of days ago, over on the MLG forums (you'll have to be registered to see that thread), insidi0us posted a new run for Silent Cartographer - and though he does it on Normal (rather than the GNF-required Legendary), he beat goatrope's GNF-winning time by 25 seconds - an astounding feat when the total time was just over 4 minutes to begin with. I was impressed enough with the run that I wrote up a short analysis of the places where he gains time over goatrope's run - and now that it's not the end of the month any more, we've got the bandwidth to host this puppy, so you can watch it, too. WMP9 version is 44.2 mb, QuickTime version is 46.6 mb. Thanks to l3Dl SHREK 2 for bringing this to my attention in the first place. (Louis Wu 17:10:32 UTC)
