I would love to see a really pure speedrun section, and by pure speedruns I mean runs that are:
1. Around 1 hour long. If they are too long, thats just not very speedy. I feel that a speedrun should be able to be watched during ones lunchbreak, or something like that. Good examples are, Starcraft and Zelda: wind waker, very long ones. probably just as awesome as the quake run but still, somehow not really kocher.
2. No rocketjumping/gaussgunjumping or flying to the boundries of the map to skip parts, half life 1 speedrun hrrm. I still love the run but that part is just not very impressive at all. It said something in the rules page about leaving the map, and I beleive this qualifies as leaving the map.
And no, I have never submitted a speedrun, I just love watching them, but I do get dissappointed when the feel of the game gets lost in the run, like the hitman 2 one I downloaded, not from this site, but it was shot from a 1st person view and thats not hitman at all, in my eyes.
Alot of whining, I know, keep up the Godlike work and keep delivering runs, I just want a section for the pure ones :).

You my friend are ignorant if not stupid.
The goal of a speedrun is to GO FAST, we gotta use all the tools given to us to go FAST. We don't care how cool the hitman is or how uncool for tricks are, if it makes us go faster, we use it.
And for christ's sake the Half life 1 speedrun is one of the best on this website.
(still never compare to my beloved mike Uyama tho :o)
