In this speedrun explained, we break down an Any% speedrun of the original BioShock (sorry, not the remastered version). This run is performed by KPCzombie, one of the top runners for the game. This run includes ways to skip doors, cutscenes, and even entire levels. Sorry, but there’s no ADAM duplication glitch used in this run! This video serves as an explanation of the strategies used by KPC to beat BioShock in under 29 minutes.
#BioShock #Speedrun
The first fling in the run, which saves ten seconds, is specifically called “YOLO fling” since it was a known about fling, but it wasn’t done in runs due to its difficulty. KPC was on a run that was pretty much dead and decided to say YOLO and try the fling since he knew about it, and ended up getting it first try. This led to him pulling the run back to be a world record, making the fling just become part of the route. Gotta love glitches and moments like that in speedruns/speedrunning.

Guys can we get this comment to the like of all time
YO ngl great creativity with the sponsored segment! like internet historian levels of brilliant. I never watch sponsored segments, but i watched this one. keep it up!
also the vid was good too i guess (jkjkjk was amazing)
How speedrunners beat bioshock in 30 minutes in under an hour.
@@alicewonder259 i still skipped it
Speedrun explanation aside, I really love how you constructed your spoiler free plot summary at the beginning - nothing that would tip off someone who hasn't played before, but with little easter eggs for the people who DO know.
Yeah, at first I was very confused. I was like- “wait, that’s not...oh”
True - I just wish he didn't undo all that hard work by casually dropping the reveal at the start of Point Prometheus.
Good thing you decided to RUIN that with this comment
Edit: relax lol
@@br2485 nothing in this thread ruins a spoiler free viewing. Literally all it does is let you know that something happens and he narrates about it prematurely
@@br2485 I wasn't aware my comment contained any spoilers? Besides, it's a game from 2007, and there's more sensible ways to avoid spoilers than looking at the comments of a video that, by its own admission, contains spoilers. You brought this one on yourself
I’ve always been especially fond of the “no feeling is final” segments, and being at a low point right now, this one hits harder than normal. It’s always appreciated, but today it’s needed. Thank you, Needlepeen.
Itll get better friend
@An amateur boxer is made :) unless you're facing Gandolf then you shan't pass.
it feels somewhat trite to say it'll get better, but in my experience it's the truth. I find it helpful to record the small joys of good days in my journal to look back on - the memory of watching a cute bumblebee do it's thing can be a really nice reminder that life may be full of awful horrible garbage people, but that doesn't mean it doesn't also contain beauty and joy and some really cute bugs. You'll get through this!
I've saved a spreadsheet of MiniDingusTM relating that "no feeling is final." Writing it down in my own handwriting later helps it stick. Can't wait to see you all on the next one!
@@frontporchmint It certainly will - maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but knowing that it will is comfort enough :)
Tomatoanus: there is a tomorrow. Don’t lose hope.
Also tomatoanus: do One pullup. Try it.
Can't. Broke the pull-up bar last time I did.
I can do pull-ups! I used to have such shit upper body strength but I improved. Woo! Proud of myself.
@@handsomejack4125 they're hard at first, but once you're able to do one and be consistent, they're awesome!
What is the constitution of "pullup"
@@samuels1123 an exercise involving raising oneself with one's arms by pulling up against a horizontal bar fixed above one's head. Hope this helps!
Every time I hear your "I hope you're doing well" speech it makes me really happy. Things have been a little tough lately and this one hit me a little harder than usual. Thanks my dude, keep on being you.
Came here to comment a similar thing. We've got this
I literally almost started crying lol
I feel ya man. Hope things get better❤️
@@DratiniRPG That's me the first time I heard it on a different video, I had to pause to appreciate it
gay lol
The YOLO fling is an example of why I fell in love with speed runs. The serendipity of glitches/events like that that make the runner look so genuinely excited and happy in their stream 🥰
i love it when those glitches that everyone avoids due to difficulty become a staple of the run once a runner finally nails it
@@vaelxn true, much like in irl sports too (like Cary Hart doing the first backflip in a motocross event, which is now the norm/upgraded to a double backflip).
Excellent observation, Mr Sister Fister
@@vaelxnje mm 😊mm nn😊
I was having a really bad time, really close to breaking. and then tomato's message of no feelings being final came. And it made me cry but I feel a little better. This was really precious to me . And I'm really thankful. thank you so much.
i love this ❤️
That's why he does it. Once you've been in that situation, you understand how much just some random, genuine expression of kindness can help. I hope things get better for you soon.
Hope things get better for you 💪🏿 cheering for you from the UK
rooting 4 u as well here (๑˃̵ ᴗ ˂̵)و keep on fighting the good fight! this goes 4 everyone readin this, always remember that u deserve 2 love urself just as much as anyone else on this planet & that with a new day always comes a new opportunity.
take care of yourselves (^_^♪)
@@luxray4911 i am also from the UK
"atlas will be the friendly voice in our ear throughout the game, KINDLY asking us to complete tasks..." I see what you did there. I appreciate it.
Going in I figured there would be a twist. I had heard something about a twist regarding Atlas, and seen the "would you kindly" memes everywhere. I didn't know what the actual twist was and it caught me off guard when I came to it. Fantastic game
Bioshock is my favorite game, seeing it absolutely torn apart is very fun
This formula must not be applied to persons
It’s my fav too!
Same!!
Bioshock is flawless
Got the collection free recently- been on my "To Play" list for God knows how many years now, looking forward to finally getting down to it.
I mean, I've played Infinite, which I thought was pretty decent, and by most accounts 1 is better, so...
I literally finished the game about 2 hours ago. Love this timing.
Same, Epic games is epic
Luckiest player ever
Difficulty?
What did you think of the game?
A few days ago I was checking youtube for commented bioshock speedruns. I hope he does the whole series.
'Making it cannon the WE actually killed atlas's family' had me in tears dude, good joke 10/10
Flying around on a dead splicer using telekinesis looks like something straight out of a horror movie.
It's also something I would 100% expect from Bioshock
Love the channel, I am 22 and was in a car crash a a few months ago and am 80% disabled. The little inspirational messages between wait times mean a lot. Thank you
Much love hope you are doing better. Disability is not a spectrum. It means you cannot work or function the same way as before. It is a bit rude to people that are disabled to break it into a percent. Depression can be a disability, and quadriplegic people can be disabled too. No percentages.
@@need2connectI thought that they meant that they can't move 80% of their body
@@need2connectgo fuck yourself you soft fuck. Chances are he can’t use 80% of his body. Stop telling a disable person how to identify as disabled when you’re fully abled, although with how you force your opinion into others, I’d say you might be 50% mentally disabled.
@@need2connectI wish people like you the worst in life. Imagine not being disabled and telling somehow who’s disabled how they should feel about it, you’re sick.
@@need2connectand depression isn’t a disability, you weak bitch.
I feel like the more you watch these videos the more you understand how games are designed and structured. So many glitches and tricks are similar across different games it's cool
The same can be said if you learn how to program games.
@@knownas2017 would be quite problematic if you didn't start understanding games, when you study programming games ☠️
@@knownas2017uhh obviously
I love that KPC is giving us as much of a show as he can while sticking to the speedrun.
Based on the themes of Bioshock and video game narrative, a glitchfilled speedrun is surprisingly poetic
Take that Ludonarative dissonance
Why?
Elaborate, please?
@@nooneinparticular3370 the core theme of Bioshock is agency and autonomy. Linear video games by design "force" you to play out atrocities and things against your normal moral compass because of objectives and "someone told you so"
35:05
i did not expect this or feel like it was what i needed to hear, but damn it hit. thank you for all the time you've devoted to the speedrunning community, and making it more accessible to the public.
I feel like this isn't said enough, Tomato your commentary is absolutely incredible, you're able to break down and clearly explain what's happening even if it''s a very difficult tech or complex glitch, not only that but the jokes and sudden variations during commentary are hilarious, the mental health message makes it perfect. Thank you Churro Pequeño, keep it up and I hope you have an above average day too.
This is awesome, I love watching people break my favourite game of all time
@New WRLD FNV is already broken lol
Npc comment💀
I got such a big smile seeing this on my homepage. Bioshock is one of the few games I have actively achievement hunted in, played fully through at least 20+ times. Genuinely one of my favorite games ever. So glad to see you cover this game.
I was fortunate enough to have gone into this game without the twist being ruined, and like 3 years after it came out to boot.
"...which leads to the next level, Point Prometheus. I just hope Bob is there."
That's a reference I never thought I'd ever hear anyone make.
a deep, rare cut
Holy shit, I missed that the first time through. I haven't thought about Prometheus and Bob in God knows how long
Amazing how you're the only one who can make me watch the sponsor segments
Ryan George does humorous ad reads too.
Internet Comment Etiquette has his own fake TV show just to plug Nord VPN which is surprisingly entertaining.
Internet historian make the best sponsor segments
@@scragar the addstronaut. Yeah I know what you mean, I just think tomatoes are better
The editing on these videos has gotten so good over time. I’ll watch an explanation of a speed run for a game I’ve never even heard of because everything is so clear and it makes it so much more interesting
I really admire how committed the speedrunning community is to equalizing opportunities for all runners - money is not allowed to interfere.
Man, Tomato, you always make me choke up when you do the little pep talk. It really gives me good vibes.
I love how the speedrun was so efficient that a video discussing it is genuinely longer than the run itself.
Wooooow it's like doing something takes less time then describing it. Magic.
@@slovnicurling9808 I wasn't saying it's a bad thing? I was complimenting the run, not criticizing his explanation of it.
dude, I've had some bad stuff happen to me this week and your "i hope youre doing well" bit at 35:06 was so helpful to me and actually made me feel a bit better. Thanks for putting that in
I love how while trying to sell us on his patreon, he says "you get access to versions of these videos without the ad reads" as if that's some kind of an improvement. Like half the reason I watch these videos are For the ad reads!
I gotta say, I've been playing fighting games for like 20 years and this was the first explanation of input buffering that finally made sense to me. Genuinely appreciate how thorough your explanations of mechanics are, Mr. Anus. Cheers.
i love how you manage to avoid spoilers as much as you can while still making awesome references to the game's plot. Thank you for the amazing video as always
I really love that you gave a pretty good flashing warning for moments when the flashes might be too much for some people! Thank you for making amazing content and for reminding us to keep going!
I loved this video, the "no player" area explanation and supporting graphics were especially awesome and made something that looked pretty difficult to follow, very clear.
Dude, I only clicked your video because Bioshock is my favorite game of all time. I DID NOT expect to watch and listen to the entire thing. This was Fucking. Phenomenal. The way you personalized this, and the addition of the "it's okay to need help" speech was just awesome. I'll be subscribing, joining the Discord and continuing to watch your content. Fucking amazing, dude.
I’ve been in a 6 month depression, lost my job and all hope, today In particular was probably one of the hardest, but hearing your message on mental health mid run really moved something in me and the fact that you do it in all these videos really restores my hope in humanity. Thank you for the great content and for just being an overall good person.
I always love it when the explanation takes longer than the actual run, that's how you know it's an interesting process
I’m impressed No butthurt people chimes in to say QA are not developers, wholesome
It's good to have the 5-balled miracle baby back in business.
Absolutely blindsided in the best way by that “no feeling is final” segment, im going through a really really hard time right now and bioshock is one of my comfort games, so it hit me like a ton of bricks in the best way. Thank you.
Also the comedic impact of “no feeling is final, this too shall pass and won’t define your life.”
“Anyways, back to Apollo-“
hey tomatoanus, i appreciate you and your existence, seeing one of your videos in my feed makes my day sometimes. i just wanted to let you know im happy youve kept on having a section in every video talk about how its ok to be struggling and its ok to ask for help, it means a lot, and i hope you have a great day.
Tomato, I have to say, the message from 35 minutes on was so important to me. I just expected to see a speed run of one of my favorite games and you told me all the things I needed to hear. Thank you so much for that. Seriously
I’m not depressed or even sad really, but every time you repeat your mantra, in every video, it makes me feel so happy. You care about your viewers enough to tell them this every time. You’re a really great person and it’s the reason I love your videos. I know you don’t like taking credit for making sad people happy again, but you’re the one showing them that someone cares. They’re not in this alone. Thank you for caring so much. ❤
Who TF decided to surf on a corpse and came to the completely logical conclusion that surfing a body could clip you through walls? Speedrunners are a different breed.
He was making a meme skit and then accidentally broke the game lol
enemies loosing interest in the player when you turn your back on them, might be the result of a game mechanic. Bioshock slows down enemies you don't see, to lower the difficulty when facing multiple hostiles. So you can outrun them more easily. Learned that once in a video on hidden game designers tricks to improve player performances without them noticing.
I’ve always been meaning to watch this video but keep forgetting. As a current top 20 runner of this game myself for the past 3-4 years, To see a video made on the aspect of running this game is truly appreciated! Very well made video. KPCzombie is truly very talented at this game and is always finding new routes to make us times faster. Even now with the new medical skip where we skip getting incinerate plasmid. Very well done, I highly recommend checking Kpc out he also has a full tutorial on his channel (of old starts) on how to run this game as well! Huge thanks to you tomatoanus for bringing my life into the bioshock speed running community!
"Fuck art. I'm all about dick!" Thanks for the new life motto.
The fact that you took time out of your video to give us some comforting advice will forever be in my heart
Thank you for your kind words, especially when I needed something like them right now
As a game designer student this is very impressive, we think about everything or so we think but people will always find way around anything. Satisfying to watch but annoying to try to prevent
I have never watched any of your videos before, but decided to when it popped onto my recommended randomly. I was really enjoying the video and then you hit me with a really touching few words about being in a rough place. My mom and grandmother passed away this January within the same week, and slowly I’ve been trying to move on, but I still get small memories that make me feel back at square one. I really appreciate you including that in the video, as I felt like it really spoke to me even though it was just a general few words. Thank you.
Hello love these explanations to the speedrun and your content in general keep up the good work
I’m really loving the minimalist thumbnails on the recent videos. The Bioshock and Subnautica ones would make great posters.
YESSS NEW VIDEO! These speedrun explanations are, for some unknown reason, absolutely wonderful to listen to as I fall asleep. I always watch new videos during the day and every night I pull up a classic like battle for bikini bottom or fallout anthology. So comfy!!! Thank you tomato!
Agreed very comfy listen
When I first found your channel I thought the affirmations in every video was a bit cheesy but after watching more and more I’ve grown to love them a lot lmao
I found you from the gdq fallout marathon, you're the only funny not socially awkward nerd in that event I swear. also shoutout bioshock runners, kpc, bloodthunder etc
*His Discord is legitimately one of the most wholesome and chill things on the internet.*
*I highly recommend it.*
Getting some serious Aladdin riding the carpet vibes from Jack riding the dead splicer with telekinesis.
Gotta say, I love the effort put into your ad reads - it makes a huge difference to the watching experience when the video is interrupted by a fun skit instead of someone reading out the same script as every other youtuber over stock footage that i've already seen 27 times
Bioshock is one of my all time top 10 games, this is gonna be EXCITING!
Im listening to these videos in the background as I cook dinner.
The mood whiplash between listening intently on the thorough explanations of various speed running strats, only for "Hi I am tomatoanus" is fucking amazing. Thank you.
Tomatoanus, I know you probably get hundreds of comments a day on this, but thank you for your positive words. Just hearing "It'll be okay" I find to just not be the same emotionally reinforcing as remembering the world the will go on, and we will all be a part of it. It just makes the terrible times feel so much smaller than they are in the moment, so again just thank you for giving us that message like always.
Man, I just want to take a second and relay how important you’re “no feeling is final” sections are. You’ve changed my life for the better, and I’m sure you’re not the only one. Thanks, your work is appreciated
Like, I know that’s such an easy section to cut. Yet, you do it anyway. Here’s your audience. I’ll be here tomorrow, and dilly dilly to that
My gosh the effort on this video is insane. The map is so helpful
One of my favorite trilogies, but can we talk about how entertaining that sponser segment was?!
Woop woop this has just made my day a bit brighter
hey mr. tomato, this is the first video i've watched from you. i've been in a rough point for a few years, and honestly it's been hard to continue going. I clicked on this video out of boredom with nothing else to do but wait I guess, and the segment where you offered real advice was unexpected and it ringed true. not much else to say really, besides thank you for taking the time to include that
35:02 I know this video is a year old and stuff but the fact that this video not only made me laugh but also made me feel better about my mental health, while its not as bad as it was it is a bit stressful as of late due to worries about how hopeless the world seems sometimes. Im glad that even on the funny side of youtube there is compassion and hope to be found, thank you
3 stages of a real nigga:
-struggle
-grind
-bioshock in under 30 minutes explained
It's so surreal hearing a guy named tomatoanus give a speech about feelings while a Speedrun of my favourite game is playing...
Man
It normally doesn't hit me, but rn I'm not in a great spot. Thank you man.
keeps is one of the most worthwhile ad placements i see on youtube tbh. male pattern baldness is COMMON and DEBILITATING to the ego pretty much no matter who you are.
and also the minnesota guy and chicago guy segments are just so fun every single time.
nice work as always, anus 👹👹
I fucking love the way you deadpanned looking straight at the camera during the sponsored segment it's incredible
28:36 I love that KPC's reaction to his 800th attempt resulting in a world record is just "gravy .... hehe"
I alwys love the "no feeling is final" message in all your videos, I like hearing them cuz I know me in 2020/2021 when I was so low I didn't know if I'd see tomorrow, love your work keep it up!
The beginning 20%, the theater, and end 20% are the good, meaty bits, honestly.
Yoo the short man to man talk in the middle of this run caught me of guard. But it was also kinda good to hear. Tbh I think I needed that! Thank you tomato 🍅
The idea of speed-running Bioshock breaks my heart a little bit, it's like speed running a trip to the museum or watching Phantom of the Opera at 2x. (Obviously I am not a speed runner, I'm just a little bit of a Bioshock fanatic.)
Today is national Burboun day.
When I saw your thumb nail and accompanying title I said out loud, "Tell me about it stud." Just like Sandy from the classic movie Grease. I paused just to type this, back to the video. Thank you for your amazing content.
That sponsored ad for Keeps was genius. 99% of the time I skip thru ads but I watched yours all the way thru.
THANK YOU for those speeches you give during the runs. I lost my brother to suicide and I’ve struggled with thoughts about it myself and every time I hear your kind words it fills me up inside. Thank you 🍅
I rarely like random videos I'm just listening to to fill a background but went out of my way to like this due to what you say at the 35 minute mark.
As a manic depressant in control of my urges, I know how important it is to hear that, especially from someone who you don't know.
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only person that must have asked for this and hopefully the remainder of the bioshocks. I am also here for the end of that keeps ad. 10/10 would recommend
Prometheus and Bob
I didn't expect to hear anyone reference that.
But I'm very glad you did 😊
Somehow whenever I really down I end up rabbit hole-ing to more of these videos and get those mental health messages when I need them most. No content creator anywhere does what you do and I'll forever be grateful for that. There's never a bad time to hear something like that and always work a way to fit it in. Happy men's mental health awareness month to everyone you're not alone
Just wanted to say thx for the subtitles, not enough youtuber use it
I'm not uncomfortable with english but when it gets to the technical part it sure does help
New to your channel. I don't usually care for speed runs because I can never tell what's going on. But since you explain how the tricks work it's actually entertaining. Thank you. Great videos.
28:35 - "Here is KPCs fort frolic individual level world record. It's just nasty if you ask me."
Me: Expects celebratory freakout from KPC
KPC: does wr, hearable smile "He-Hey."
I've never seen your videos before, so hearing that "doing well" part of the video from you out of nowhere definitely made me cry somewhat, but a good kind of cry. Definitely what I needed to hear now of all times in my life, so I'll keep on keeping on. Thank you for the wonderful video, Bioshock sure is quite the game when you can completely decimate it with glitches.
I watch this vid every once and a while and I’ve always brushed off that sentimental “no feeling is final bit”, even admittedly finding it silly sometimes. Today I absolutely needed it. Thank you.
@35:06 I was spacing out and when you said these words it hit me like a train. I don’t get to see my little boy Andy more so that message helped me a lot thanks man
I always love it when there are non skipable sections in speedruns because the runner always gets up to some funny shenanigans
This speedrun was a delight! I hope we will get to see explanations for a Bioshock 2 speedrun or Infiinte! (Infinite's any% route in particular has the hilarious side effect of skipping the rather tasteless "Raffle" and "Wounded Knee" segments of the game, leaving the player with just Booker DeWitt's Salt-Fueled Jailbreak as context for most of the route's story lol.)
I'm still upset they stop you before you can bean the raffle guy. At least you get one of the gnarliest melee weapons of all time out of it.
Your ads are so golden you could honestly make videos that is literally just the ad and I'd watch it. Doesn't matter what kind of garbage you would be selling.
I want to thank you for your "no feeling is final" it saved my life and now I'm watching this as a happy man
Summoning salt topped the leaderboards for years. Then, unexpectedly, entered tomatoanus. *epic music*
Def keeps the meme alive
dude said "here's how a speed run goes, but take care of yourself; anyways here's another sicko mode bathysphere skip." and I loved it.
Many thanks for the flash warning. I closed my eyes and still could see some of it. You are a real hero
I love how you include unnecessary things in the speedrun like making it canon that Jack blew up Atlas’ family.
I don´t care how the video continues, after "Hello, i´m tomatoanus, also known as the fiveballed miraclebaby" i´m hooked and gonna watch.
Tomato, I just need to say your ads especially the one in this video are masterpieces Chicago Guy and Minnesota Guy always make me smile
Tbh I really appreciate the little speeches about bad times my grandmother passed away from cancer last Sunday and I was really feeling like shit
Great video as always. Fantastic format.
I'm impressed by how good Bioshock still looks, even on top of being in high-framerate settings.
Geez I just came for the speedrun and found a guy spreading awareness of mental health. Dude, I love you.
