Need For Speedrunning

If you like what you saw, be sure to check out his run , join our Patreon (now with a free tier option!) or follow us on YouTube for more episodes and Shorts!

One of the most unequivocally agreed-upon GotY candidates of all time. So hey, it's been a while since the last upload, huh? Sorry about that... I could get into the excuses, but the main thing you need to know is that we both had major career changes and it's been an adjustment. But some stability is forming so, we're back! I can't say our upload schedule will be perfect just yet,...

Now I know what you're thinking, "aww man, more Nintendo privilege" or "that zelda guy really likes zelda" or "I get it girl, windbombs are rad" or "I guess it has been two years" or "does Hobz know it's the same zelda game" or "when are they going to cover a Need For Speed game" or "Yes! French Santa, here I come!" or "again?!" Well, there's a very special reason for that. Tune in to find out! Wa...

Well we've finally done it. Luke Skywalker and a giant spinning wheel are lying dead in the corner and our eyes are yellow now. Good thing Need For Speedrunning is here to tell us what this all means. Rounding out our Birth by Sleep series is Terra, and judging how this description started, I think you can tell this goes really well. ------------------- Head here to watch KirbySora's run a...

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but what if you take bigfooted anime protagonists and threw them into old Disney cartoons? What? You say we did that last week? Well not to fear because this week we get to watch Ventus… do whatever speedrunners do in Kingdom Hearts games. Blow up trees and cats? Probably that. ------------------- Watch kirbysora’s run along with us: https://www.speedrun.com/kh...

Let's see, I know heartless, a lot of X names, norting, maybe something about Goofy, but Hobz knows way more than I do about Kingdom Hearts. For the next few episodes, we're going to take a look at the fastest game in the series that's not just a cutscene: Birth by Sleep. Watch KirbySora's WR run along with us: https://www.speedrun.com/khbbsfmhd/runs/yoqkg2jz For a version without...

Join us for a long conversation about Mario and speedrunning in general as we celebrate the first sub 50 minute run in this historic game!

What’s up smooth skin, I’m the sherif in this here puddle. It looks like you broke your leg when you shot your rocket launcher straight into the ground. Nothing a nuka cola and a quick rest couldn’t fix. Why don’t you rest a spell and listen to the new episode of Need For Speedrunning. They dig into the Bethesda mess that is Fallout 3, a run I find very entertaining. Speaking of running, you shoul...

Ok get your jokes out now, cause we promise this had nothing to do with that movie film what came out recently. We're mostly here for seven insane minutes of speedrunning. Hobz give us a full rundown of what to expect before jumping into the commentary. So pull up a piglin, a graphing calculator, and definitely a fire proof potion as we hop through dimensions in this crazy speedrun -----------...

Do you love feathers? Do you love athletics? Do you love speedrunners who are actually nice to Yoshi? Well boy howdy do we have a run for you. JHobz and Luigi start with a few of the basics then jump right into the commentary of oosui's world record speed run of Super Mario World! ------------------- Watch oosui's run along with us here: https://www.twitch.tv/oo_sui/v/2176942456?sr=a&t...

Shovels, juggling, and recurring nightmares where you friend's body drops out of the sky while you get attacked by baddies, this run has it all! JHobz and Luigi kick off the revamped NFSR by talking about the indie game sensation, Shovel Knight For the commentary, we watched applesauc's WR run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_6er3I_f6s For a commentary track without game audio, head over...

Hey all, we've got a few updates to share with y'all heading into April. The TL/DR is below, but the audio is under 5 minutes long, so we'd recommend giving it a listen for the full context. The show is going down to 2 hosts (+ occasional guests) More focused episodes that should be shorter on average The commentary is no longer going to be Patreon exclusive as it is becoming the star...

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=-rqbJHLa9fM Listen to our commentary: htt...

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 doesn’t that make a...

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 thing, that works...

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. Don't mind the fact that Black Cat and Mysterio weren't in the movie. After all we need something for Peter to do when he's not changing outfits. ------------------- To watch the run and hear Toby's amazi...

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, I did it. Bed r...

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 adventure film Dragonhea...

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.

Come in and find a seat, because Prof. Hart was just about to begin the lecture on the history of going fast. We’re gonna learn about arcades, Twin Galaxies and hot sauce nepo baby William Mitchell Jr., and I even read in the syllabus that  dirty pictures  are involved. So I’m sure it will be very educational. Fun for the whole family! Check out our FREE TRIAL for commentary tracks, live episode r...
