Speed demons

I've never really felt the appeal of Let's Plays of videogames. I get them for boardgames, because they give you an idea of the mechanics without spoiling anything, because there is generally nothing to be spoiled. But letting someone else experience a game before I have is never something I thought I would do.

However, this is something else. It is a race - 4 experts speedrunning Super Metroid against each other, and, just as importantly, two excellent commentators explaining the skill and dedication that goes into it. It is about an hour long, and is one of the most entertaining things I have ever watched on the internet.
