We're continuing our series on mini episodes about speedrun terms! In the case of "Reverse Boss Order," the name is fairly self-explanatory, but the question is "how is that even possible???" Join us as we dive into the wild world of playing games in reverse order for maximum confusion!

Well howdy! Been quite a while since we got us a new deputy here in Raccoon City, especially one with a knife that seems to silently scream like yours does. I was busy listening to JHobz, Bradley, and Luigi talk all about the RE2 Remake with Bobby The Blacktastic, but it’s getting harder to hear over the low roar of your knife crying out for weird monster eyeball! Does it do that often? Cause the boss is usually hungover in the morning, fyi. C’mon, while you fill out these waivers, I’ll just put in my headphones in so I can hear the rest of Need For Speedrunning!

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a GDQ event? Wonder no more because Rubie is here to tell you all about how... it says here they broke their toe during the marathon. Can you imagine getting that hurt and still going on with the show? What a professional that Rubie is, what a fighter. When I grow up, I wanna be like Rubie. List of runs from Frost Fatales 2024

Ahh yes, Mario, the world famous… shoe cobbler, yeeeeaaah, who… rescues dogs and runs a banana shop. No wait that’s his rival, The Donkey. Look, I don’t know anything about these games. Just trust me, it’s a really fun episode.

Somehow it took 3 years to do an episode on one of Hobz's favorite speedruns of all time. I'm not sure how this happened. We are commissioning a panel of experts to dig into all of the information we have and issue a report detailing our failures in this regard, and we promise it will never happen again.

It's that time of the year again. With Awesome Games Done Quick barely finished, Brad and Luigi manage to drag Hobz and Spike into the studio to get their thoughts on the event overall. After notable runs and highlights, they dig into Spike and Hobz' race against RoseCurel and Violin in a Kingdom Hearts 2 randomizer seed. It was a record breaking, close racing, donation raising, blindfold filled GDQ, so come hangout and find a new favorite run! Many speedruns runs from AGDQ 2022 were discussed in this episode but we barely scratched the surface.

Is this episode even real or is it just a prank? Yes. Brad and Hobz take things at a different pace and talk about high levels play at high amounts of time. If you want to make it feel more authentic. feel free to pause the episode for a few days while you wait for the shampoo to upgrade.

Look, pick any class you want. It doesn't matter. The second we get in the boss fight, Hobz is going to turn into an invisible bear and go sick house on their asses. In the meantime, why don't you hide in the corner with Rubie, Brad, and Luigi, cause they're talking about the Baldur's Gate 3 speedrun and D&D in general.

…and you said you are here to see Samus? Well it might be a minute as she's currently running in place as she slowly moves through a wall. But maybe Rubie, Hobz, or Luigi can help you? After all, they watched and did a breakdown of the speedrun, AND they're obeying the laws of physics right now. Honestly that's probably the better option, considering Samus just shot through the ceiling while glowing purple.

Hey everyone! While I think of a bed joke, come on in and sit down. The episode, we have Brian from the Zelda Podcast Chat of the Wild to walk us through the already broken speedrun of Echoes of Wisdom. Part Zelda game, part tower builder, a dash of Link, and some menu manipulation combine to make this one of the fastest any% runs in the series. So get comfy, maybe on a bed? There, I did it. Bed referenced, and that's two possibly bad bucks for me.

We picked a cozy little speedrun to say “goodbye for now” to our friends Rubie and Brad. The runner SkateKing was even nice enough to put on some Celeste music for us, as we make all the wrong choices on the way to a WR.

Thanks again to Brad and Rubie for being the best damn cohosts and friends

It's the two-year anniversary of Need for Speedrunning! 🎉 We're celebrating by revisiting the game from our very first episode: Breath of the Wild! Turns out things have changed a lot in the past two years (but 3D Zelda games having a stamina bar is not one of them). Come join us for some (spoiler-free) Tears of the Kingdom talk and a trip down memory lane... That is, if your memories completely changed because of something called BLSS. Watch Player5's WR run: https://www.speedrun.com/botw/run/zpw0qggy If you're attending SGDQ 2023, check out our panel on Friday June 2nd at 3 PM local time!

In this episode, Rubie, Nichole, and Bathinjan start a three person Ghost Hunting Detective Agency and then go golfing, because golfing is something successful ghost hunting detectives do on the regular. So join us for some co-op speedrun discussions and let us know your favorite game to to speedrun with friends.

Curl up with a warm mug of leftover gravy, because we’re gonna snuggle up with the AGDQ 2023 Schedule. Hobz, Rubie, and Luigi start from the back and work their way towards the pre-show, stopping to admire the great runs and runners along the way. Come Speedrun and chill with us.

In this episode of Need For Speedrunning, the boys sit down to gush about the recently released Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 schedule before getting down to the topic at hand: the 1995 classic Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. It’s part speed game breakdown and part breakdown of speed gaming overall. Trust us, it’s a… blast! Check out SBDWolf’s world record run that we watched during the break: https://www.speedrun.com/dkc2/run/zpl50kxm

Welcome to the first NFSR Pit Stop! In this series, we're going to look into topics, ideas, and runs too big or broad for a regular episode of Need for Speedrunning. Leading things off, we take a look at a long RPG run to see how runners have broken them over the years. When we picked FFX and its 10 hour run, we sure didn't expect to find one of the most convoluted RNG systems in video game history, but luckily @Davesterio was there to walk us through the drops, the skips, and the most beautiful sounding glitch in the world! Pass Yuna the creatine and queue up for NFSR Pit Stops!

After the bonkers announcement that KFC is buying Nintendo, we decided it would be a good time to review their chicken warming game system, the KFConsole!

We always talk about speedruns from a "watchability" perspective on our show, but what exactly does that mean? What can make a speedrun bad to watch? What about a game that's bad to speedrun at all?? Luigi and Hobz dive into the nitpicky sides of speedrunning in this meta topic on the genre as a whole.

Dontcha just hate it when you and the Princess of your kingdom go on vacation together in her private jet to Italy, but then you also show up to vandalize everything with a brush, causing you to get convicted for all the graffiti the other you did? I know right, life sucks sometimes, but don’t let that get you down. Brad, Rubie, and Luigi are here to talk about video games! Now doesn’t that make all of the probation feel better?

Come in and find a seat, because Prof. Hart was just about to begin the lecture on the history of going fast. We’re gonna learn about arcades, Twin Galaxies and hot sauce nepo baby William Mitchell Jr., and I even read in the syllabus that dirty pictures are involved. So I’m sure it will be very educational. Fun for the whole family!

Hey all, we've got a few updates to share with y'all heading into April. The TL/DR is below, but the audio is under 5 minutes long, so we'd recommend giving it a listen for the full context.

• The show is going down to 2 hosts (+ occasional guests)

• More focused episodes that should be shorter on average

• The commentary is no longer going to be Patreon exclusive as it is becoming the star of the episodes

• Bi-weekly episodes are back!

• We're refreshing our Patreon tiers and prices, simplifying to two tiers: $3 and $6

Please please please let us know how you feel about the new format! The first new episode drops on April 5 (and likely earlier for paid members). Thank you so much for all your support over the years!Hobz & Luigi

We're BACK and ready to chat about all the chaos! Tune in for some behind-the-scenes discussion with two members of the AGDQ Interstitial Team, hear the whole gang chat about why Drum% rivals Dog% for the best showcase run of the event, and listen to our thoughts on the MC Escher painting brought to life in Manifold Garden!

Thanks everyone for bearing with our short hiatus during the AGDQ season! We've flipped the order of our releases, but we're back to our usual cadence of 4+ activities a month (basically every Saturday). Lots of NFSR to come, here's to 2024!

It’s that special time of year, when we all grab the comfiest jammies and pile onto the couch to watch some Christmas movie tie-in video game speedruns! The lovely spikevegeta and Rubie have brought some runs along, and hey! Two thirds of them were pretty great!

In this episode of the Need For Speedrunning Podcast, the boys do their homework and cover one of the most venerable of all speedruns, Super Metroid's Any%. Come along with Hobz, Spike, Brad, and Luigi as they break down why this run is so revered and what has made it a pillar of the speedrun community. During the break, we watched Zoast's current World Record, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/shNyq0TfHBs

Well hello! Fancy meeting you here, clinging to the back hair s

of an ancient giant guardian. Don't mind me, I've just nestled into this beast to listen to my favorite podcast talk about Rubie's favorite game. They're even teaching me how to stab 1.9 times! That's sure to come in handy once I muster up the courage to move from this spot. In fact, if you're also here to slay this thing, that works for me too. I was getting sick of inhaling shadows at this point.

In this episode, we get way too excited about one of our favorite games ever and talk about Celeste, but not before discussing some of our favorite speedruns from the recent Flame Fatales 2021 event, benefitting Malala Fund. In fact, the run we watch during the break is @carrarium's bny% from Flame Fatales.
