Oh boy.
commenting this early after the upload is a W, since I'm pretty sure no one has even seen the advertisement in the video yet

No 🙂
A 38 minute breakdown of a 27 second run. That’s the Karl way
Wouldn’t have it any other way
absolutely legendary
I would watch a breakdown of every Goldeneye level by this guy, I love his passion for it.
I grew up playing Goldeneye, but watching the current speed runs are incomprehensible to me, a painfully shy Bond yeeting grenades everywhere and somehow completing all the objectives. So now at least I know what's going on during the Runway level and can appreciate the insane skill of the runners
After all, the shorter the run, the greater the skill required.
The details about the evolution of the strategies and the kinds of processing involved (in terms of the software and human analysis) is what makes it a valuable learning experience for non-speedrunners. Watching the evolution of optimization techniques in a wildly different field helps provide abstract lessons. It is the detail that makes his videos worth watching. If he could get even more detailed (such as on the evolution of specific techniques), I would find it even more valuable.
There is something I truly love about listening to Karl talk about Golden Eye in particular. You can tell he's just really in his domain and he's already a great story teller as it is.
I think I will do more goldeneye content this year. I have some good ideas.
@@karljobst I can't wait!
Well he DOES have an untied GE record xD
@@karljobst how about more personal stories about your own WRs? We can feel your passion through the screen, love hearing about your quests. THANK YOU for your hard work, LEGEND
@@raverpoker i will do one on me soon I think. When my last untied gets tied.
whenever I see Goldeneye speed runs I can't help but imagine an actual Bond film where the villain is in his lair and Bond just runs through, looking at the ground, crab-walking at superhuman speed, throwing grenades in random directions. Just henchmen and the villain freaking the fuck out as the base explodes ten minutes after being built
“Horror. Eldritch Horror.”
I love this. Imagine this being done as an inside joke in a Bond movie, and about five nerds in the audience totally getting the joke and the rest of the normie audience just thinking it's bad moviemaking.
@@OuterGalaxyLounge that could be the situation at the beginning, bond just totally destroying a villain, before getting the mission that the movie is actually about.
...and then five minues after being built... And then one minute... And then 33 seconds... And then 28 seconds... And then 27...
@@CainXVII Ah, Mr. Bond, you absolute legend
I didn't realize I needed another Runway video, but this one was even more epic than the last. Sure, the story was already written, but it takes incredible skill to emphasize the right parts and make it entertaining to thousands who never played the game. The best speedrunning content out there.
Ayy my boy jrose. Agree with you on everything you wrote
Came here for Golden eye content, was surprised by the most awesome Pokémon challenge Runner
same thoughts. never played goldeneye but these videos he puts out make me care about the records by explaining well.
also love your vids jrose
Best ways to save time on Runway:
Guard Boost
Grenade Boost
Jrose11: But what about BADGE BOOST?!
Redo all your Pokemon challenge videos, but with the FireRed/LeafGreen games. By the way, your Pokemon videos are one of my favorite things to watch! Can't get enough of that "Rival Fival"!
I love how you build it up in such a way that for people who dont know anything about Runway see that 27s time and their jaw drops. great video
Too bad it was in the thumbnail
@@ciaranpatrick6859
That doesn't matter. You can appreciate the fact that "some" WR was beaten, but Karl tells you the story and mechanics behind all that so that you really know what big feat that is.
A
Exactly man, it's impressive whether you've even played the game or not, as the full story is told. I don't play games anymore, was never a serious gamer and have never even considered speed running let alone have even the remotest talent for it... Yet I watch all of the content on this channel, and through it other speed running and gaming channels as well. My missus thinks I'm mad ha ha, but for some reason I just seem to like it. That's a sign of well done content.
I love how he matched the world record of every other strat before going for the final strat he's really showing his respect to everybody who came before him
I also think it's a good way to work up to the harder strats
Standing on the shoulders of giants.
@@BuIIetBiII Didn't know you were into speedrunning as well. So between arguing with literally insane people (flat earthers), you play old games fast... Interesting.
For sure! In order to understand how we got to the 27 it's absolutely important to know what came before.
@@alkestos the earth is flat
It's kind of crazy how none of this would have happened if the devs didn't include that one grenade box
It's a paradox.
The year is 2122. Speedrunner Joey Anders has just pulled off the first negative 0:01 run, breaking causality and thrusting his consciousness back in time to when the devs were designing the level.
His influence and ideas of what must occur lead the devs to unwittingly include a box of superfluous grenades in the level. The cycle continues without beginning or end; Only the grind to lower the time remains.
@@Chance57 🤣
@@Chance57
You just made my day 😂👍🏻
@@Chance57 Very realistic future world record (Lmao).
you wake up one day to see the speedrunning community split into two. time-travelling gamers begin to claim run times of -1 year, beating game after game in 0 seconds a year before the games even begin development :o
34:11 "His history on Runway double O agent shows that he's a TRUE student of the past" You phrased this so well. It really hit me here how epic his run was gonna be. And it did not disappoint.
It's amazing how much credit and coverage you give to the pioneering speedrunners, who might be forgotten otherwise because people just want to see the current world record time. This feels akin to the histories of science, art, or sports, where every great figure is celebrated for what they did at the time. I love it.
Yeah I've thought in 100 years there will video game museums where these people's names will be listed and replays available
This is why I love the world record progression videos by summoning salt and bismuth. On the backs of giants.... 🎮🍍
I wasn't initially sure what it was that saved Joakim that extra second until I rewatched and saw that Ryan didn't get a boost from that first grenade he threw. Very nice
That's a pretty terrible mistake to make by BOTst.
I think it was the combination of the first grenade boost, guard boost, look down, and tighter lines
The lack of a boost was the first thing I noticed as well. In general the runs seem to end with a lot of health, so even more boosts could shave time off. Whether there is enough to get a 26 though is probably unlikely, but it would be cool to see a deeper analysis by someone more knowledgeable.
Yeah, I was shocked Karl didn't mention the difference maker. It felt like a big lead up to an unexplained ending. I think he gives us too much credit...
@@greasyguido Same why did he not explain the last run lol? Kinda makes the whole video obsolete.
The fact that I’m not even a part of the speedrunning community but still watch your videos is a testament to how good a presenter you are. There’s something about what you guys do that’s so intriguing to me.
I haven’t heard “Hello you absolute legends” in too long and I loved it.
I hear that line, I click like on the video. I'm a simple woman like that.
@@LostTimeLady how does that work?
I love seeing that KJ right at the top of the list under Dam Agent 0:52
Absolute legend
Got an idea: would be cool to see a 3D recreated visualization of the run highlighting the arcs of the grenade throws and Bond's movement etc. which can be a bit hard to see and fully appreciate from just the in-game first person view.
Not particularly practical for a content creator…
@@GhostDriver87 I might be able to with some of my 3D and programming background, though yes would be difficult to get accurate particularly.
@@JackieRabbit5 Would be very cool if someone could map this out for a Karl video
Yeah dude that’s a LOT of work to get right, and not really plausible.
Not gonna lie, that sounds like a laborious ball ache and a half. Painstakingly working out exact locations and drafting the equations then triple checking variable inputs, yeah nah, I don’t know much about physics and statistics but I guess enough to know you couldn’t pay me a serious wage to do that.
I absolutely love how, despite your vast knowledge of this game, being a speedrunner of this game yourself, you make no assumptions in the viewer’s knowledge. Every concept is explained in the right amount of detail, and you make the storytelling so natural. And every video you make is like this. They’re incredible, you’re incredible 🤩
31:02 The dog be like "WTF is going on|" "Oh, it's just you breaking another record" Back to sleep
what the dog doin
I really love the idea of mastering every past strategy in order to truly understand a level. It feels like something an anime protagonist would do. Incredible video, I love learning about the Goldeneye speedrunning community!
Every time Karl mentions himself as part of the history, it not only puts a smile on my face but surprises me because he doesn't toot his own horn so one could forget that the video they're watching is also some by a great speed runner.
He started the speedrun content bc he broke dam 52. That's probably the biggest break he will accomplish. Then he gave glory to all the other unsung heroes and struggles he had been keen on for years. He was still on the grind, but it quickly became about putting spotlight on others' great achievements.
It's just great content and it shows maturity in wanting to collaborate and celebrate more than just be the best. Karl seems like a really humble dude. It's sick his channel went from nothing to over 600k subs in like 4 years. Hard work pays off.
@@penguinjay I agree. Thanks for the additional info because I didn't really get into speedruns until I discovered this channel. I like the more humble and grounded UA-cam channels over the bombastic over the top insincere nonsense.
This is my favourite type of video. I love the analysis of the old and new strategies, the comparisons, the history, the stories of individual players ... you narrate it superbly. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these things
I remember when this game came out, people were raving about it and rightly so but I never imagined it would become so ionic and have such a long lasting appeal.
I remember my friend's dad stealing the N64 to play it. I didn't mind watching because the graphics were so nice.
@@volvo09 Me watching my friend play Goldeneye in 1998: "There's no way video games can ever look more realistic than this"
this changed the perception of games based on movies entirely.
Up until this point, it was a safe assumption a game was mediocre to complete trash if it was a movie based video game, especially if it tied in to a recent release.
Rareware changed the whole landscape w their labour of love.
I tried playing Goldeneye again last year, it hasn't aged well at all. Loved it as a kid.
@@doogallas tbf games have much more graphics than they actually need nowadays. Sometimes it distracts from the actual game
By studying and recreating the history of the level, Joakim Ljung was able to piece together the most optimal strategy. Congrats.
Me after watched Golden Eye speedruns : *"You know, I'm somewhat of a speedrunner myself"*
I love how this game so beloved even after 25 years.
I hope one day Golden Eye 007 gets remake or remastered, for real this time!
It has been announced for switch and Xbox
Xbox version won't even have MP
the switch version I believe is just goldeneye on the n64 version of switch online
It's a shame
I get so excited whenever he says “(X) would achieve this run.” You can tell when he’s so awed by a run he just sits back and lets it speak for itself.
Hey Karl, just wanted to say that I watch a ton of speed running history videos and what I really love about yours is they often focus on a single level. By narrowing your scope you can really dig into the details and help us appreciate the depth of skill that the runners have obtained. The broad mechanics covered in docs about the entire game are nice, but rarely do you see the nitty gritty details.
Played this game as a kid. Spent hours with my brother and cousins in the multi player mode. It's amazing to see where people have taken such a one of a kind game. Great work on the vid covering this speedrun.
me and my brother just talked about the sound it made to run over people in the tank lol. That was probably one of our favorite parts of the game. Truly blew our little video game brains at the time.
Hours? Days, weeks, months!!!
I am surprised a 35 second level can be made into a 38 minute entertaining video!
I'm sure Karl could have made a 5-hour documentary about this level but chose not to for the sake of us viewers.
You mean, 27 second level, right? 😂
@@maiden666powerslave 26 baby
I have never played Goldeneye 007 before, but Karl makes the history of speed-running this game incredibly captivating!
He's only overstating the importance of what he's covering
The goldeneye speedrunning community is not a community, it's a whole civilization on its own.
"... achieved *this* run." The anticipation immediately builds when these words are said 😆
IKR? Those words mean we are about to see something epic!
Favorite part of the video was 31:03 where he pops off, the dog takes a moment to check out what is happening...then goes right back to laying down :D
I wonder what happens when every record hits its absolute lowest. Will GoldenEye finally use A real timer or just deal with no more improvement
Real timer?
@@Chance57 like milliseconds, instead of having to beat the world record by one second to not tie it.
@@siriusly7081 ahh, I see.
Maybe races will become more popular
It's crazy that new strategies are discovered even after decades.. who knows what else might come.
I find it crazy that speed runners never new how to run faster for months while 4 stoners on fet in England were running round at top speed on Aztec
Fet?
@@whirlwind872 speed
I never played golden eye and i never attempted any speed run but these videos is very interesting to watch
Imagine being these guards watching their base get blown up in 27 seconds by a spy running around looking straight up, running sideways, shifting reality and throwing grenades 170 yards.
I think even the most ardent believer would have to question if the West was really as decadent and weak as they'd been told, when they apparently possess superhumans.
This is my favorite type of speedrunning - Frame-perfect execution with zero RNG, just skill. It's why I have loved watching OOT speedrunning for too long now.
I get so excited whenever you put out more golden eye content! I love hearing the game broken down by a true master. It helps me appreciate the nuances of high level runs in a way that was impossible for me to even perceive before! Great vid as always, Karl.
If I just saw those lets say 5 record videos, I would be like, nice, gg I guess. You make the story so interesting and your input makes these records so much more valuable to others too, people outside of the community, like myself
Jailer: Stop, or I’ll shoot!
Speedrunners: another time, maybe.
Jailer: [shoots]
Speedrunner: Thanks for the damage boost, chump!
Found this gem of a channel about a year or so ago via a Goldeneye video, the one you did for this very level :)
Love how much compassion and care you have for this game and how kuch you've contributed to the community! Love to see these videos and hope for more in the future!
Thank you Karl, you're truly a legend yourself! 💕
I first found Karl for his vids on Billy Mitchell and Rod Togers… then loved his coverage of WATA
This vid, though, was really special and made me really appreciate the history of speedrunning for the first time.
Hats off to the legends who kept on grinding
R O D T O G E R S
You know the competition is serious and a big deal when it takes 38 minutes to explain 28 seconds of gameplay
Great vid as always AND thank you for pronounciating Joakim Ljung perfectly. You always go the extra mile, I appreciate it.
I really appreciate the way you construct these videos. I’ve only just started watching your videos and speed running and find them enjoyable, extremely interesting and easy to follow. Great work.
Thank you for all your thorough explanation and detail. The passion in each video is felt. Thank you for the great work!
Great presentation. You really captured the full context of just how awesome and unbelievable this record is. What a journey the GE speedrunning community has had for a quarter century now!
This is epic, I was playing goldeneye 4 player, and telling someone about the speed run on runway with the grenades, I swear it’s another one of Karls videos and then this this masterpiece pops up on YT.
I love it, thanks for the context needed to truly enjoy and appreciate each of these speedruns, newest and oldest! These breakdowns are so great!!
I just want to take a minute to appreciate how good the editing is in this video. Everything that is happening on screen is in relation to what is being said. That doesn't sound like a big deal. But I've seen too many content creators just throw up random game play moments while they talk. And be honestly confused by the incongruity between the words and video for a second or two at times. The amount of effort put into what we are seeing here deserves more credit.
You're an amazing story teller and an amazing content creator. We love you, you absolute legend.
Can you maybe increase the boost you get from explosions with some lean motion strategy?
Could you get into the plane faster by leaning those last few inches?
Just some thoughts from a non-player.
As another non-player, I don't think these optimizations would matter too much, given the Goldeneye speedrunning community doesn't record milliseconds. The first strategy might increase the boost (I could be wrong), but the increase would be negligible, unless the 0:27 is already on the verge of being a 0:26, which I would wager is not the case. Leaning to get into the plane wouldn't matter either, since the end of the level is determined by when the final drone gun is destroyed, and entering the plane is timed to match that. Since entering the plane is already timed to the destruction of the final drone gun, and the final drone gun is already timed to be destroyed as early as possible, entering the plane earlier then was done in the speedrun holds no benefit.
I love all your videos Karl! There is something really special about listening to you when talking about Golden Eye.
very good job Karl. i find this one being probably one of your best videos, you really enterteined me for 40 minutes straight which,trust me, is something very very few can do. i can really see how much you love this game, how much passion you have in talking about it, which is something that really appreciate! i hope to see more golden eye videos in the future, maybe discussing other levels. Have a nice day!

Hi
Hi
Yes, just yes.
Karl, your videos inspired me to go back to college and try to become a journalist. You are sincerely one of the best content creators I've ever seen, and I one day want to be on your level.
Mass effect Music in the background is an awesome choice for everything
Karls videos on Goldeneye are always a treat to watch knowing he's a skilled legend on the game aswell you can hear the passion he has for the game would love to see more videos of Goldeneye Karl in future
It's so funny how I've seen so many goldeneye speedrun videos and I had never known what the death animation looks like :D
Poor Mike Martin... dude played a game in '99, an early speedrun, and then gets absolutely demolished in criticisms 20 years later lol
I've never played this game, but that doesn't stop me loving your videos of these awesome WR runs, as with the DOOM WR videos you've posted it's gripping seeing the progress over the years with the introduction of new strats or improved execution.
great video, as always.
I've been binge-watching your entire channel this week, and - especially off the back of this video - one of the things I've grown to love most about your channel, Karl, is that you posess the skills to match some of these guys and compete for world records yourself, in a similar way to Wirtual's skill to not just compete, but create awesome story-telling documentary-style videos on the same subject. It's epic.
Love these Goldeneye vids so nostalgic after spending every weekend off our heads on speed and acid doing all nighters in multiplayer, so many funny memories of hiding in the bog closing the door as somebody opened it in a game of throwing knives only on facility. Or when my mate who had never played it pulled out a Soviet and gunned down my mate from behind who owned the game on bunker after saying don't shoot me I haven't found a good weapon yet. Couldn't stop laughing. Ty for a reminder of my youth with people I grew up with
Every weekend on speed and acid god damn lol how were you not utterly exhausted mentally by dropping that frequently
@@whirlwind872 smoke a lot of weed to balance it out lol nah never really got mentally tired when you're with your mates having a constant laugh, lots of playing football through the week and being active outside certainly helped plus youth is a huge factor we were all under 20 I think when Goldeneye came out
The fact that Joakim Ljung took the time to learn each old strat of runway and mastered it is kind of beautiful.
You are a phenomenal storyteller. Just the fact that you explain things so technicaly hard that easy, the build Up... Great content.
Imagine being one of the Bond Villains henchmen, seeing 007 sprint past you sideways, dropped grenades as he goes
It always cracked me up how slow the tank muzzle velocity was
"Eric couldn't have been more wrong in his assertion."
Every speed running story ever.
Love these videos, I grew up recording random stuff to VHS but never doing anything with it, little did I know by my mid 20s i'd be online only to see just how many insane people where trying to speedrun games in general, i was never as good as any of them but man id have loved to be around the community during some of these early times.
awesome work karl thanks for narrating this essential 007 speed run history. love love love love love it!
Always a special day when Karl releases a new video
What did Joakim do differently that made him go faster? The grenade boost at the beginning?
he had a boost from a guard on the way to the first turret and no backboost on the way to the plane
I think it was mostly perfect execution/luck. Had ideal movement, throws, and guard boosts.
yeah I think karl failed to explain the very climax of the video lol.but I think it was the grenade boost + a forward boost from a guard +no shots that slowed down +perfect route +perfect lag reduction and it seems a very small forward boost at the end too
7:00 As I was watching this my brain was telling me something was wrong. Realized after a second it was because he wasn't looking down.
I think you should make more videos in this style where you go through the map and show off the difficult Tasks needed to be preformed then showing the absolute legends breaking the historic times. Amazing video dude one of the best you’ve ever made. Can’t wait for the next!!
So, a question about the differences between the :27 and the :28:
From what I can spot in the videos of the different runs, every run except for the :27 uses the first grenade to kill the guard on the way to the first drone gun. In the :27, Joakim Ljung forgoes using the grenade on the guard in favor of using it to gain a boost coming out of the key room. After he passes the guard, he receives a boost from behind him. Am I missing any other differences from the :28, or are those the only differences. Also, as someone who has only really played the game casually, what is the purpose of killing that guard in the other runs? My guess is that it is mainly to prevent inopportune boost interrupting grenade throws. Is this correct?
30:07 had me cracking up 😂💯
I get tears in my eyes when someone shares their passion in a compelling way. I tear up at Karl's videos often.
38:15 what an inspiring statement. Speedrunning is really teaching us all to believe in the everlasting possibility of improving, even against something that looks scripted and unchangeable like a video game. The idea that new wonders, new challenges, and new amazing stories like the ones we've been through might just be waiting for the flash of genius of some ambitious pioneer, truly makes me smile at life. Awesome highlight, Karl.
Can’t get enough of these speed running videos, thanks Karl 🔥🔥
great video, I've watched all of it already!
I'm some what of a speedrunner myself
also a liar
@@Aidez A spliced speedview?
The scandal!
15:01 Marc Rützou! The Legend. Look at him guys, he's typing a storm!
Just wanted to say you make amazing content Karl and I'm always stoked to watch and learn more. Keep it up! Cheers
I never cared about speedrunning until I stumbled upon Karl
Same dude. He explains it in the best most interesting way possible.
@@DbladeMedic Such a gentleman, calling me a legend 😂
@@arcticrunning8370 😂right though?
@@arcticrunning8370 you know it kinda makes me want to get a speedrun record just so karl jobst would make a video about the run. Idc about the world record just want the legened himself to do a video lmao🤣

This guy: *_"Speak for yourself."_*
YES! Whenever you release a video, all I think about is what time of the day will I be able to sit down uninterrupted with a cup of coffee and just enjoy it! In around an hour the family should all be soundly sleeping. 38 minutes. Nice!!
@31:00 I love the dog's reaction..."shut up human" 🤣🤣
Joakim’s run is incredible. Actually incredible. As soon as he went for the grenade boost at the beginning my jaw was on the floor
I wonder if goldeneye will ever reach a point where people start timing themselves and decimals are counted. I know there’s reasons this hasn’t been done already but I feel like pretty soon there won’t be a choice. Maybe a new category of run could be created.
I've seen this addressed elsewhere. The in game time doesn't always match with real time, even with no pauses. The time is therefore more like a high score than an actual 'time' as in a real life race.
Bro I love how you go through the histories to the current WR
It's fantastic
Another great video. You're great at what you do, and its so clear to see how much effort you put into it.
hey karl i absolutely love watching your videos but i have a bit of a question about this one
what actually caused joakim to be faster in the end? you showed it but without explanation im honestly a bit lost
If I were to guess I would say that he got three damage boosts on top of tighter movement, but I'm no expert.
The two times Ryan got hit on the 28 run either did not push him forward or knocked him back.
39 min video to explain a few seconds lol
I like the deep dive into the history of the world record. It has a Summoning Salt vibe to it and he's done it with a few runs on this and other games like Doom.
What's truly impressive is how Ljung learned every single outdated strategy before jumping into the newest one. Most people likely wouldn't waste the time, but he wanted to get to know the feel of playing at every stage of the journey before diving into the goal for 0:27. That's a great player.
The dedication, skill, and forethought it takes to do this is incredible. My hats are all off to these runners
KJ and Goldeneye, the combo i subscribed for
So wait... what did he actually do that was different to get the time save?
Kep up the amazing work Karl, have an awesome 2022
I like that the final run is so unbelievable you don’t even break it down like all the other runs.. makes it feel like ‘yep, those other runs seemed impossible but even to me putting all that shit together is unreal’
I'm early...
SHOUT OUT TO THE NOTIFICATION SQUAD
People really do have an eye for these records...
You could say...
A GOLDEN EYE
Ba dum tss
the self boost out the first door and the boost from the npc before the first grenade throw (but just at the right time to not cause the charge to fail)... it's the tiny things that add up lol...
