Borderlands 2 Glitch Hunter/ router.

A/V: Quality is fine however for Final encode I would suggest cut out the whole loading screen thing (PC games don't count loading screens anyway) probably make the cut from the first fully black screen of the fade out to the black screen of the fade in (or first in-game frame if for example its a mission screen "press enter to continue").
Cheating: none
Game-play: go here talk to him, skip game, go to her, talk to her, skip game, take photos, and repeat. only one major slowdown i could see was talking to the guard in the club the second time (i think?) took ages to get focus on him and "use" him but apart from that there were a few bumps into walls / other items but nothing major.

Accept

What's that gemma?

I (thankfully) have no prior experience with this game.

A/V is "great" - the ugliness of the game and the headaches induced by constant alt-tabbing come through with crystal clarity.

I've heard that this is one stinkberger of a game, and it really shines through the speedrun here.

There are precious few real activities done in the run - the game lets him avoid actual gameplay by hunting down tokens, which he appears to do efficiently.

Apparent errors are minimal. There was a bit of fumbling during the repetitive picture taking, costing a few seconds. He momentarily turns the wrong way in a few places, but never losing significant time. He gets trolled for several seconds trying to talk to an NPC whose conversation trigger overlapped with the doorway he guarded. On one mini game he started selecting Exit instead of Wimp Out.

The ending is abrupt. I'd like some comments by someone more familiar with the game whether the runner actually reached a sensible completion point.

As with any Leisure Suit Larry game, this run should be posted with a warning regarding its content. Like the rest of the game, the sexy scenes get skipped immediately, but you still see the first few frames of them.

I'd say ACCEPT this run, provided the run's goal is actually sensible. There are few execution errors, and an appropriate amount of work was obviously put into an efficient route.
