I'm pretty sure that this was the way the level was intended to be played. I haven't seen the movie in awhile, but who can forget that iconic scene where Bond is running sideways toward the plane, throwing grenades 200 feet in the air at himself.
Imagine being a guard in these Goldeneye levels. "Man, a guy in a tux just came in, took the keys and was throwing granades on himself, I swear" "Don't bullshit me, Dimitri"
To amuse myself, I do often like to imagine how enemies or other characters would react in-universe to speedruns. My favorite is imagining Bowser's reaction to a Mario 64 0-star run.
"In September of 2018, the third of the Boring Four fell." Karl, you're missing some words there. "In September of 2018, the third of the Boring Four fell at my hands." The humbleness is cool but come on man, four of the top five longest standing records were crushed by you. You can give yourself some credit lol.
When I hear "this technically works but isn't really something you want to rely upon" in speedrunning, I know for a fact that means "this run will eventually get so tightly choreographed that people will have no choice but to rely on it". Because that's the pattern I keep seeing.
I've never commented on your videos before but I just wanted to write a brief comment congratulating you on your extraordinary talent of conveying passion and getting thousands of people hooked. Not only do you fascinate us with your knowledge and skills, as well as your research and in-depth understanding, but you also tell us a story with such immersion. Sometimes I get so into your videos that it almost feels like I am the one clutching these world record runs and it is a video about me. I feel the adrenaline and the thrill. I love that you do not pump out content every day but actually take your time to produce high quality material. Thank you, Karl.
This is how I got through the treshold of mild curiosity to genuine intereste. Speedrunning is cool but requires a fascinating and immersive package to get through initial indifference. The first time I watched goldeneye speedrunning snippets they bore me to death, running with face down, licking walls all the time, nothing exciting or intruiging. Frigate video had good enough story spiced with expertise to keep it interesting enough to cross that barrier. I still am not a big fan of goldeneye speedrunning but I enjoy the journey, the creativeness and persistence of speedrunners and the story.

Karl has always upheld superior class ever since his inception into the-elite.net - A true pillar of Legend in the community which plenty should admire - He is still a TOP player today since joining the ranks almost in the infancy of the game
He edited the video. If it was about humbleness, he wouldn't have shown them either. Seems like he just couldn't find a good way to phrase the sentences.
@@prawtism Except he obviously needs to show us who did the run like he does for everyone else. He just doesn't call attention to the fact that it was himself. That absolutely is humility.
Eric Bergman is a true absolute legend. This guy is dedicated and talented. Like you, Karl. Thanks for these amazing videos and content you're producing, I'm never missing any of those.
he is not a legend. but imagine if he put such dedication into something worthwhile? yeah that might actually be something. a speed runner speeding years of their life replaying a level untill it works out. yeah legend. if you gave a infinite amount of monkeys a type writer 1 would perfectly type out the bible and complete writings word for word of Shakespeare just be mashing keys. nothing legendary about it son. get a girlfriend .
you call a nerd who spent thousands of hours tossing nades untill it timed right a legend? a game so old most gamers have never heard of it, i played it on release and its one of my favs but its nothing in the grand scheme of things . your a legend to someone for typing comments. it saddens me

@T-RopE dude seriously I'm the exact same. It's like for a few years of my life 10+ years ago I was a gamer and yet i find all these videos fascinating.
What a class act you are Karl. Love the more mature nature of your videos. I don't 'run myself but like to keep up with the latest records n new time saves etc. So nice to see someone see the long term potential of speedrunning and take the time and care to produce these highly inclusive and informative videos. Keep it up! Hope you n Doris stay safe in the current climate!
This really is about winning a game of inches. Scraping together every fraction of an advantage and pulling through. Well done to all the record breaking runners
My friends and i always tried to do speed runs back when we were younger i never knew of boost methods, i was pretty damn good with waverace 64 and warios course on mariokart 64 we even competed on excitebike 64 3d track was lots of fun
I just imagine a 007 movie where James Bond kicks in a warehouse door, steals a key off a desk in clear sight of bad guys, and runs off down a tarmac while tossing grenades into the air as all the bad guys stand there like "Wtf?"
It always surprises me how any element of the map is being utilized to achieve those impossible scores. It's like the game creators included exactly 10 grenades in purpose.
It really humbles me the fact that you don't mention your world records, but within the context of history and documentation, it really wouldn't hurt being mentioned either
I am so very impressed how you not try to flatter your own runs but appreciate the runs of others. The speedrunnig community is amazing. Thank you for your channel
Speedrun every scene, dialogue coming out like Eminem on strong crank, everyone talking like the micromachine guy. All actions and movements now matter how slow they should be; as fast as possible. Not a sped up video but shot, with all the actors frantic at all times. 110min movie shown in 9min 38sec
This is insane how 20+ years after this game was released we are still finding thingd about it. Speedrunning keeps games alive. And who knows there might be even more levels that have impossible WRs that are possible to beat that we just have not analyzed the right way.
"Speedrunners have optimized the level run. How could they possibly improve on it?" _New glitch, strategy, or understanding of game results in new record_ "How did we not see this before? But surely now the level is optimized and cannot be improved!" _The process repeats_ While I could never speedrun these games (I still have trouble with 00 and Perfect Agents on a good day), I love how the community never gives up and continues to find new things.
I had been waiting for this video since I heard about this. I absolutely love these history and breakdowns of GoldenEye speedruns now. Speedruns in general. But this game is one of my most nostalgic games.
I love these updates, I got literal shivers waiting for that 21 to appear in the video. The analysis that went in to making that possible is amazing, I love it!
Your channel made me fall in love with speedrunning. I've not played Goldeneye, and for a bunch of reasons I probably wont, but I'm watching it regularly bc of your passion for it and its made me want to find games I can run; I want to feel that same passion. Thanks, man. We appreciate you.
I love how he tells the history and progression of strategies. It’s such a great build up and so fulfilling to see the new record. It’s like a 101 crash course to help us appreciate the achievement
I'm so impressed that Karl always say "the record was broken" instead og "I beat the record", while always mentioning other runners when it is their run. So humble and yet another reason to subscribe to this awesome channel. Absolute legend!
Dude, I don't speedrun, but your commentary on these events keep me coming back to this channel. You are talented at this. Please keep it up. And as a non speedrunner I have little inside information on the strats. Your explanations are very helpful and interesting.
As far as I'm concerned the internet hasn't changed since 2004, Newgrounds has been around since 1999, names of services have changed and stuff, videos are in higher resolution, but it has only been a upgrade to things that were already in place. Pop up ads still exist. Java has been nearly eliminated. FunnyPart isn't really a thing anymore. But the more things change, the more they stay the same.
@@dandominare i mean, op clearly does, and a lot of other people do too, dont be a dick. Streets 112 is equally as legendary for the pop off as it is for the run; cheese overwhelmed after breaking the m64 120 star record was incredible.
until yesterday I didn't care about ge speedruns but the tricks and your explanation are so good that now I'm hooked. also each time you said "he get this run" oh man the emotion, the suspense really amazing
The thing that confuses me the most about this video is the intented time target of 5 minutes. What kind of person needs 5 minutes to walk to that plane!
i was just waiting for your take on this. you should make a video discussing what makes a run "impossible", the mechanical aspects (likestrategy variations, controller input limitation and things like that) of it and TAS, i hope i made myself clear, english is not my native language.
@@rgerber I don't get the comparison...There is a 30 minute video showing actual gameplay footage of several different single player levels (this is important because there have been a couple of reconstructions of the multiplayer levels, but never of the single player campaign). The person playing switches back and forth between the HD graphics and the original graphics. The HD remake was almost finished when they were told to cease and desist. Here's the link to the "leaked" gameplay footage. ua-cam.com/video/RRRuhviJGMQ/v-deo.html
I like watching some speedruns but never understood the technical elements to doing them and found watching some just boring with no idea what was going on. But I love the way you explain it in a documentary style entertaining way.
He also had the other Boring 4 times as world records. A fun fact is that his Archives Agent 16 was set just 2 days before the level got untied, making him the last person to get it as a tied world record.
I don't speed run, I never want to speed run, I don't watch speed runs, but I watch these videos you post and honestly enjoy them. If I had to guess why it would be the sense of passion that every video conveys. Fantastic, as always.
I'm not a speedrunner and I'll never be a speedrunner. However I love learning about games on an intrinsic level and because of that, seeing speedrunners break down a game into such minute detail is incredible. These videos are fantastically well put together!
More determined than ever, Eric began grinding furiously. Hahaha that's why I love this sort of stuff, been so close to the unachievable but believing,must be an amazing feeling to beat one of these and waiting for the shower of praise.
Hey Karl you absolute legend! Thanks for the great video. You telling the story of Eric's grind to get a run of 21s was really engaging and I enjoyed every minute of it. You're doing a great job. Keep it up! :D
Dude, I was waiting for this to happen, just knowing you'd make a video about it. What a genuine absolute legend this guy is now, I'm really happy he finally got it done and put the record to rest. Now.. how long will this go untied? Edit: Also.. yeah, when you are the person that achieved a certain run or recordbreak that you talk about.. please mention that you're the one who did it. There are no doubt lots of people who have subbed for your speedrunning content that never followed Goldeneye closely and may just not pay any attention to the on screen text or put 2+2 together.
The aim in speed running is to shave as many seconds off if your previous attemp as possible, this same approach lost me an ex girlfriend, but she will have that record to take with her to the grave.

This channel is so good. I've not played GoldenEye since 1999 when I was 17, but I continue to be fascinated by these speedruns.
You’re like the Tony Hawk of gaming - one of the earlier legends, yet still around and kicking.
I'm a man who has never completed Goldeneye and yet I love watching runs of the game and Karl's analysis of said runs.
Karl Jobst: "...[FEATURED RUNNER] archived this run"
me: -ORGASM-
I’ve never even played this game but I watch your videos on it as you explain everything in such an interesting way. Legendary.
The mass effect nostalgia gives me a funny feeling in my tummy 😥
ImBarryScottCSS back before the last game which shall not be named that killed the IP.
It’s amazing to me that I can find one of your videos show up on my feed that’s 2 years old and I haven’t watched it yet.
I love hearing Karl talk about 077 Goldeneye.
Thanks Karl, you have a real gift for getting me interested in little bits of video games i didn;t know i cared about. Keep doing what you do, legend.
I love this game and I wish someone would "leak" the HD remake that was about 95% complete and fully playable.
Yes right on the same level with half life 3
@@rgerber I don't get the comparison...There is a 30 minute video showing actual gameplay footage of several different single player levels (this is important because there have been a couple of reconstructions of the multiplayer levels, but never of the single player campaign). The person playing switches back and forth between the HD graphics and the original graphics. The HD remake was almost finished when they were told to cease and desist. Here's the link to the "leaked" gameplay footage.

Bro your videos are off the hook I’ve literally been listening to you for 10 hours straight
"[speedrunner name] achieved this run" this always gives me goosebumps
I like watching some speedruns but never understood the technical elements to doing them and found watching some just boring with no idea what was going on. But I love the way you explain it in a documentary style entertaining way.
14:31 Even AntVenom got Runway 22 lol
I was looking for a comment like this! I was wondering if it was the same Taylor Harris.
He also had the other Boring 4 times as world records. A fun fact is that his Archives Agent 16 was set just 2 days before the level got untied, making him the last person to get it as a tied world record.
I love the way you give these achievements the historical dignity they deserve
I'd go crazy if I had to listen to that bond gasp for 2 years
Karl: looking at the ground destroys all the fun of the game
Also Karl: throws grenades at himself to run faster
If Karl and goose collab:
The legends of absolute: My Friends..😂
I don't speed run, I never want to speed run, I don't watch speed runs, but I watch these videos you post and honestly enjoy them. If I had to guess why it would be the sense of passion that every video conveys. Fantastic, as always.
Speedrunners: "It's impossible".
natalya: "My Soviet superiors aren't home"
Bond: "Hold my gun"
My favorite part of these series are after we get through the masterfully taught history of the run, when he says "and on the
Just like a certain absolute legend, I never had a Streets 1:13 record! :-)
(Or any other record there, as I didn't play it.)
I'm not a speedrunner and I'll never be a speedrunner. However I love learning about games on an intrinsic level and because of that, seeing speedrunners break down a game into such minute detail is incredible. These videos are fantastically well put together!
World record for clicking on this video

More determined than ever, Eric began grinding furiously. Hahaha that's why I love this sort of stuff, been so close to the unachievable but believing,must be an amazing feeling to beat one of these and waiting for the shower of praise.
damn your videos are always more informative than a 4 hour documentary on national geographic... best speedrun content creator out there
Hey Karl you absolute legend! Thanks for the great video. You telling the story of Eric's grind to get a run of 21s was really engaging and I enjoyed every minute of it. You're doing a great job. Keep it up! :D
Dude, I was waiting for this to happen, just knowing you'd make a video about it. What a genuine absolute legend this guy is now, I'm really happy he finally got it done and put the record to rest. Now.. how long will this go untied?
Edit: Also.. yeah, when you are the person that achieved a certain run or recordbreak that you talk about.. please mention that you're the one who did it. There are no doubt lots of people who have subbed for your speedrunning content that never followed Goldeneye closely and may just not pay any attention to the on screen text or put 2+2 together.
Showing your own runs and staying humble about it, very nice. You and SummoningSalt never flex your own records.
The aim in speed running is to shave as many seconds off if your previous attemp as possible, this same approach lost me an ex girlfriend, but she will have that record to take with her to the grave.
Man I gotta say the "achieved this run..." moments are really exciting and get me hyped!
