First, I should note that as of the time I'm posting this, the comments reflect a previous run that is 18 seconds slower than the one in the video. That said...

A/V good
No cheating

This run can definitely go below 11:30, but a lot has to go right for that. Mike may try to undersell the difficulty of some of the zips/wraps in his (outdated) comments, but they're fucking hard. I may have put way more time into the Metro 3 wrap in Sonic 2 than my paltry few attempts at the Marble zips, but I'll still take the Metro 3 wrap every day. Other than a couple missed zips and unfortunate cycles, the gameplay in this run is superb.

Accept

Oh yeah, whoops, I knew I forgot something! I'll take some time this afternoon to edit the comments to reflect the current run...

EDIT: this should now be done.

Borderlands 2 Glitch Hunter/ router.

A/V: Good
Cheating: None
Game-play: Amazing run (I'm truly surprised this even got to public but that seems to be a recurring thing these days) but anyway what Alec said before me pretty much sums it up.

Accept

Insane Killer Robot

A/V good, no cheating detected. I agree with everyone else, the run has minor errors but overall the run is really great. I hadn't seen this one live, but I had seen a bit of mike89's streaming of his attempts, so I know he has been spending a lot of time on this. Gotta go with an accept. Cheesy
