*This month's topic was selected by one of our very own patrons: Hypixion! We had a blast watching an All Bosses run of The Pathless - a gorgeous game with a zen-like movement flow and a whole lot of giraffes (if snakes are giraffes).

We always talk about speedruns from a "watchability" perspective on our show, but what exactly does that mean? What can make a speedrun bad to watch? What about a game that's bad to speedrun at all?? Luigi and Hobz dive into the nitpicky sides of speedrunning in this meta topic on the genre as a whole.

It’s that special time of year, when we all grab the comfiest jammies and pile onto the couch to watch some Christmas movie tie-in video game speedruns!

Link… would you kindly open your eyes and grab that surfboard, even though it may look a little corpsey. Some dude named Ayn Rand or whatever built an underwater hippie farm, and the Royal family is afraid of losing all that delicious brow sweat.

Does it do that often? Cause the...
