i often like watching speedruns, when they not only show the skill of the player. its often really disgusting to me downloading some gig and then realizing, that im only to watch someone killing monsters and running around without knowing why.
is it really that a problem to NOT skip intros and movie-scenes, when they do not count for the ingame-time-counter? i dont think, fable counts dialog-scenes as game-time, does it? (there are many other bad examples. but good ones too, like almost any zelda-part) it wouldve been really nice to me knowing whats going on in the game
i know that might not be the meaning of real leet speedrunning, but counting seconds is no contradiction to a nice movie to me....

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!
Yeah, i think so too!

I really like to watch runs of games i didnt play (or play through entirely) if they interest me, just to see the story go on, the ending, the cutscenes(!) etc.
For example, i like the Silent Hill series, but didnt finish 1+2 and 4 because they weren´t mines, but i´d really love to know about the storyline.... that counts for many other games too.

But i also understand why runners skip scenes. It´s hard to count the exact time you´d have to take away with every scene, and as a runner you´ve played through the game so often, you just can´t see them anymore.
Also, the scenes would give you time to rest. That might be a good point, but especially for games with ultra-long cutscenes like MGS, it interrupts the SS run and that makes it loose it´s speciality.

Damn, i´ve killed my on demand for cutscenes... =(
