Hey guys,

Just a bump to see how you're getting on!

Working 12 hours days volunteering...yeah, fun times with plenty of gaming! (*cough cough*)

It's all good though, I might get back to this, but to be honest - I'm so fecking bad at the game and have no real drive to actually get good.

Droogie kinda blew me out of the water, I want to abdicate in favor of anything he does. (Yeah, I'm getting 'holy crap I'm bad' depression)

hello, world!

You're not bad, feel free to watch my twitch recording, you'll see an hour long of attempts where all of them are slower than your run... then I suddenly got super lucky.

We don't really need to come up with the best of best times for each level anyways, just decent average, the goal is just a challenging achievement. I don't plan on routing the entire thing, I was just bored and wanted to try it out. I'm busy working on some metal gear stuff then I'll be out of town. Keep at it, because I won't be working on it and it would be cool to see it complete.

From what I've seen, once a run is finally finished, regardless of if it's great or not, that then motivates others to try to beat it... I'm sure once you do some more levels , others might decide to get involved and help out. Good luck

droogie summed it up well in the post below yours... and trust me your run was good enough! We don't need a super run just a good run and your run was way better than most I've seen. I guess if you're out and no one else picks it up we'll just scrap the achievement but seems a shame.

I'll reward anyone that pulls this off anyway, I'll check back in a few days see if anyone has picked up interest. Might seem lazy we are not doing this ourselves but we are working on a P2 patch right now with a small team and don't want to have to lose time on that for this... so any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Okay well seems it's not going to happen, shame but thanks anyway all. I'll stop reading these forums now but sending me and PM should alert me by e-mail if anyone else is serious about helping, and already understand it's a hard game to even finish let alone speedrun.

I'm thinking about speedrunning this game. I'm currently 4th in the world in Postal 2
