The Most Embarrassing Speedrun in Halo History

- Hey all you cool cats and kittens for this video I sat through an absolute all-timer in Cody Miller's disastrous CE "speedrun" at GDQ in 2010. We'll crack a few jokes and I'll explain the finer details of why this run was so bad. If he was a legit runner who just a bad day, I wouldn't be doing this, but Cody was a cheater and a fraud and this was his exposing himself live.

Wasn’t “I’d really prefer if you’d be quiet” in response to a random kid who sat down on the couch uninvited during an early morning tonba run and wouldnt shut up
As a huge Halo fan and also a speedrunning fan separately, I have enjoyed this video 4 times this month. Well done, Frog 🐸
boiii
you're the real mess and embarrassment. This Guy Did Games the right way at the right time. You however are a disgusting moderner from the dark ages. you cannot prove you ever did anything right.
"He decided to do something not typically seen in a Legendary speedrun, which is change the difficulty to Heroic". Am dead. Big brain.
Its suboptimal due to the menuing :D
Big brain. Huge.
Why don't other speedrunners use this strat? Such a time save :)
@PvtSn1pe considering he ended up with a +4 hour run, it appears that changing difficulty is a major time loss.
@@LordEcang True, stats don't lie
This is like when you go to a sleepover and just have to watch the kid who invited you play a game
This comment right here. Underrated. This hits the nail on the head - spending all night watching said friend play a game that you lost interest for in the first 15 minutes.
This just unlocked a core memory of me lmao
that’s lame i always shared and took turns if it was one player
Then gets offened when you ask for a turn and is like "its my game and console!!!!"
White people things
Fun fact the current WR for the ENTIRE TRILOGY is still an hour faster than this run
lmfao yikes
This run was bad, but after seeing this it went from bad to abysmal.
@@dstreetz91 honestly the thing that baffles me the most about this. He isn't a frustrated top-level runner who couldn't be arsed anymore to grind. He isn't a high-level runner who faked being a top-level runner, he just seems to genuinely be bad at the game.
Bro that's nothing I've have dentist appointments faster than this run
@@youtube-kit9450 Exactly - even before I started running the game, I didn't even die that much on Heroic, let alone Normal
Cody being an innovator and introducing the first multi-difficulty speedrun. Truly inspirational.
dead
@@samurai-butterfly7393 just like Cody, over and over
That could actually be cool, any whatever-is-the-best-difficulty speedrun, IF there are levels with skips and tricks only on harder difficulties that make some levels faster that Easy. I wouldn't know, I know about as much regarding Halo CE speedrunning as Cody.
😂🐸
me when game lets you adjust difficulty and ive died a handful of times in same spot - "its time to put this sucka on Easy"
The fact that he accepted even though he knew he was a cheater makes this all the better
The fact they brought him back the next year makes it worse.
Right you don't feed in their delusion that they're good should have just nixed'em
This is just the perfect display of how delusional cheaters are.
The ultimate post-irony chad
@@TheRealLittleBIGheadthey start believing their own bullcrap
Lowering the difficulty right after starting is a genius move. Why dont all speedrunners adopt this strat?
Idiots, the lot of them
So good he did it again halfway through
Thanks for joining me on my legendary run, I'm gonna do a pro strat called lowering the difficulty to easy.
@@planescapedyeah a lot of speed runs are on either lowest or highest difficulty
Lower difficulty can have fewer enemies, higher difficulty is sometimes more prestigious, lower difficulty can have enemies with lower health which means they die more quickly, etc
@@planescaped I can't believe more speedrunners don't know about this cheat engine strat. I just made myself invincible, skipped to the last boss now I'm gonna do a console command maneuver and delete him!
shoutout to goatrope for understanding that a simple $5 donation with no message would speak volumes
Gives me the same vibes as that .gif of Donald Duck tossing Daisy a dime as he passes her on the street.
@@Nepter8248 What?
@@vilelive You heard him.
The donation is the message
I can not imagine how long this 4.5 felt for this guy. My god.
It's safe to say he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He KNEW he had absolutely no clue, yet STILL accepted the invite. This guy literally knows no shame.
Probably not that bad for Cody but for the audience it must have felt like 4 days.
@@smaller_cathedralsit's oddly inspiring in a way. If he isn't embarrassed by this why should any of us be embarrassed about anything less severe?
The fact that this guy showed up for an another speedrun event blows my mind.
@@tamatama1037 yeah this is a "hobby extinction event" for sure, just gotta run away at top speed and find something new to do
You know who I feel bad for? The guy seated next to Cody. This guy is a serious guy. And he wanted to see some seriously good speedrunning.
Bless his heart. He tried to make the run less painful to watch by providing some informative commentary.
Imagine the smell of Cody's nervous sweat.
Yeah that serious guy next to cody is serious about serious speed running
Which is why he made a serious decision to exit after the 2 hour mark.
Cody - 'Yeah we'll just do this normally'
Everyone else - *nervous laughter*
At that point i would’ve just asked him to play it on easy just to get it over with
Cody: (Chuckles) “I’m in danger”
@@MajorOctofuss no you wouldn't have.
@@SpaceMissilewhat? 😂
@@TimothyGod I don't remember making that comment ahaha
im actually really amazed they didnt cut the run at like 2-1/2 hours if the estimate was 2; at some point its just uncourteous to continue
that's why they added the mercy kill rule afterwards, there wasn't a rule, although honestly, at 3 hours they should've just said, "sorry Cody, we got more runs to do and you're already an hour over estimate, this is where it ends"
Can't remember which run, but there was a run where the runner literally couldn't finish the run, can't remember why, so GDQ after like 30-45 minutes over estimate, nowhere close to finishing just mercy killed the run.
@@DarkDyllonno clue why they didn't interrupt this run, seems like common sense
They didn't mercy kill the run Narcissist because at this point GDQ was a really new thing and as with basically every new thing rules had yet to be introduced. It isn't like now where they have the whole 7 day lineup with timeslots for each game to try to stay on schedule since they have a venue rented out at a hotel and a bunch of volunteers and staff to keep the show going. It really was just some guys in a room on some couches.
@@DarkDyllon "sorry Cody, we got more runs to do and you're already an hour over estimate, this is where it ends" sounds like something a dark souls boss would tell you before fighting you
Old GDQs were wild. At this point you can find the highlight stuff pretty easily (the runs mentioned in this video along with Werster's "chat interactions" and the like) but theres a lot of intagible stuff you could only see by watching the raw archives. It was just hours and hours of people not knowing what run was coming up, weird rambling dead time between runs, "bonus games" that would just go forever aimlessly (Quest 64 grinding stands out in my memory). It was really something.
I wish the guys watching him just asked him, “was that a trick?” Everytime he died
That would genuinely have improved this run.
That would've made it less painful to watch
This isn't the most embarrassing Halo speedrun, it's the most embarrassing speedrun period. Plenty of cheaters have been exposed before, but how many were publicly exposed in real time in front of an audience of thousands as well as the people physically in the room?
I dunno, the one where the crash 2 runner just talks about suicide for an hour has to be number 1.
@@TooneySAthat was perhaps the most cringe one of all time, but it's a different feeling from watching someone who is obviously out of their depth, attempting something great and failing spectacularly in front of an audience.
I will say that Crash one is made sooo much worse if you don't know the game mechanics 😂. First time I saw it I literally asked myself what is this guy's problem? I realized later it becomes easier if you die, but the constant jokes were just cringe asf.
Let alone for nearly four and a half hours
Bruh this is really embarrassing but you should see the fake mario speedrun from badabum it one of the worst I’ve seen
i mean you saw that MGR:R one last year right
The donator telling the "guy with long hair" to say a quote and him gleefully laughing at the joke is the only redeeming moment in this entire run. 😂
That got the whole room going in a way that can make just about anyone laugh. Every time I come back to this video it's a struggle not to bust out laughing.
6:34
@@thebig_steel i love you
He probably makes better armor than the kid playing.
That's the energy I like to see in a speedrunning, not the player stumbling over themselves nonstop
Notice how the room gradually clears, until a whole new group shows up, not knowing the grave mistake they made
Fr😂
The amount of narcissism to willingly put yourself in this position, thinking you’re just gonna wing it, and everything will be fine, is hard to even comprehend.
I remember when I was really little I foolishly entered the schools talent show audition and just winged a beatboxing routine cuz I wanted to feel involved (Was pretty isolated, I was like 6). Assuming this guy isn't a narcissist I think he's in reality just a socially unaware dumbass who has no foresight
he got the record dude the magazine said
And the record in the magazine was faked so....?
yeah you cant prove that maybe he was having an off day.
This dude was practicing these tricks for the first time on GDQ. What a legend.
What a MadLad…
He was playing the game for the first time at GDQ
It's crazy how the proof you needed back then to break the record was "just trust me bro."
That's how it went with most things. Look at airliners before 2001
@@LeeAndersonMusic Yeah. I remember during those times you have to pay to use a screenrecorder or have a VCR recorder which was expensive or inconvient for everyone at the time. Not to mention, recording on the PC takes FPS off the gameplay unlike nowadays. I remember Nintendo Power had a contest on getting a high score on a game and they tell you how to take a clear screenshot of your TV even though most camera were crap.
"You Really Think Someone Would Do That? Just Go On the Internet and Tell Lies?"
The need for speed world record site required a replay file. That was in the 90s.
@@michaelwhite278 Oh yeah! The same goes for DOOM. Some games have those features.
I'd have excused myself 2 hours in and gone straight to the nearest courthouse to change my name.
The fact he died 7x on normal I think is the most embarrassing part…
I mean, no one's gonna check me on this, so, there's that, but... I haven't played the game in more than a decade and I think I could take the game deathless on normal in less time than this run. As a totally casual, but Halo obsessed, gamer.
@@kruksog i havent played CE campaign in about 20 years and i kno for a fact i could do it in 4 hours deathless lol.
@kruksog Yeah, I could do deathless normal runs on CE - and on Halo 3 multi-player my KD was below 1, to give you an idea of my sub par Halo skills.
I never played HALO and Im sure I can die a lot ✊🏻💅✌🏻 more than this guy lol
@@subzero308 ya I never played this game ever but I know I could beat it deathless on ultra legendary nightmare mode in 4 seconds .. like I cant prove it but trust me bro
4:30 “he then adopts a strategy I used as a 5yo when the covenant scared me” LMAO
Relatable
He doesn't care. He's not thinking "what if i get caught" he is at "what if I get away with it"
These people live among you. Had a bro like that, he ended up robbing our friends company wise when we got older. Not flinching.
Yeah this dude is some sort of mentally off. Like he's just gonna play on normal at a speed run event and do almost none of the shortcuts, even with people asking him about it? I'm so glad I'm better at reading people now.
Same here. My mom had a boyfriend like that and was so hard to deal with a sucker like him. That kind of person have a real talent to get in trouble. Fortunately he run from our house some years ago.
He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much
@@howiebeats9588he is using apathy to not die from shame
Most if not all of you can't read people because you spent your whole life speed running video games 😂😂😂 like no sh!t really 😂
The awkward atmosphere of the room must have been unbearable for 4 hours.
No where near as awkward as now where everytime they shove trans rights agenda down your throat and everyone in the crowd and the runners are forced (yes quite literally forced) to repeat it or else they will be banned from the event and any future event.
i can only hope everyone in that room wasnt a halo player
@@greghuffman3061 although they witness him dying so many times they likely realized something was up
i legit had to take a break from watching this a couple times, the second-hand embarrassment was that strong
Yeah it took me several days to finish this
I've done lots of cringe things, but I've never had a 25 minute video breaking them down so at least I've got that going for me.
At least you never claimed to be a pro speed runner, but then missed several jumps, forgot which way to go, and failed miserably while dropping the magnum every possible chance you got! We all can be a bit cringe sometimes, but nobody is as bad as Cringe Lord Cody Miller! LOL
@@blinkdarkmello8067 Hes embarrassing himself the fact that this guy thinks hes such hot shit or that video games are just so easy that he can outright lie about something he cant do and has not done before. He's undermined the true skill required for such tasks. And he live-streamed it. Didnt just try it out for a video or someone made him take a bet or something. Its a combination of too much confidence and a whole lotta idiocy.
@@blinkdarkmello8067I don’t even think it’s that cringe honestly. Like if I was there I wouldn’t be cringing cause he did this. I would just think gamer ego got him and that’s perfectly fine everyone has ego. More funny then cringe
@@Mythowars He is a cheater that should have never gone on stage in the 1st place. Someone else could have been playing instead of him. He claimed to have a world record but when it came time to preform, he couldn't even beat the game on Legendary, or even Heroic! Seems cringe to me!
Dude was chilling and didn't care. He's there for charity not to get paid. This was early gdq hes just having fun. Why should he care. He's doing it outta charity
😅😅😅😅😅
8:25 goatrope isn't just *a* Halo speed runner; he's the very speed runner for which the Goat Roped achievement (finish Halo 1 on Legendary in under 3 hours) was named. I can't imagine how painful this was for him to watch.
As someone who’s played halo for about 30 collective minutes, this hurt. Poor goat probably has spine injuries after watching this
There should be a "Cody" award. Complete Halo on normal in over 15 hours.
@@colinmerritt7645 Give him some credit, it was only 4 hours.
It's impressive honestly considering plenty of people probably have that achievement if they made attempts to get good enough at CE, but cody in this run wouldn't get it and isn't even close to getting it.
I grew up with Halo 1-Reach, and even after 10 years of not playing a single FPS game, I still beat Halo 1 in under 15 hours LOL granted that was Normal with MANY deaths, but god I could beat Cody with a month of practice or less
I love how at some point he just gives up and plays through the game normally.
And still loses, lemme remind you.
This was PAINFUL, like… why? Why the hell would you agree to do this if you KNOW you cheat your runs and you struggle to even complete the game on NORMAL.
That Elite laughing at him at 13:58 was priceless. It was almost like the Elite knew he was a fraud as he killed himself with his own banshee.
I am fluent in sanghelli, He was indeed laughing at him along with telling him he that was mid.
He straight up laughed at his goofy ass suicide lmfao
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778it sounded more like he said something way worse than mid
@@silvertoddler8326 N
"You suck and your Jordans are fake, demon!"
I feel like we gotta cut Cody some slack here. He’s not a Frog, so he doesn’t have a genetic advantage when it comes to doing some of the jumps
damn bro youre that guy with the cute smile
The Achievement Champ has spoken
The real question is, “When are you doing a Halo 2 Legendary video?”
When speedrunners have skill issue
It’s my boy Snams!
6:38 That was a great donation message. Distracts you from the awful run for a little bit
Cody's CE run feels like a group of elementary school kids coming over to some kid's house who tells them to come over and see his new PS2 game he just got.
i will never understand this man's line of thinking. he KNEW he didnt fuckin know the run at ALL and still had the conscious thought, "yeah i can do that live" 🗿🗿🗿
the most blatant liars believe their own lies. A part of him wants to believe he actually is a great speedrunner.
I dont think its because he's delusional, at all. My guess has always been that he's an attention seeker and couldn't pass up the chance at some nerd fame for performing a speedrun at this nerd event.
@@six-stringphantom1402 I think he's delusional at least insofar as he convinced himself even if it went badly, it wouldn't go *that* badly.
@@six-stringphantom1402Obviously Nerd fame is the greatest Fame! 😂 Look at this run! 😍 😂😂
Didn't even study it leading up to it to at least pull of the tricks. You could say nerves or whatever stopped you from getting a record time if you at least knew the tricks. My face would've melted off from embarrassment after the first few mistakes; for sure when I hit the allotted time I'm calling it. The fact that he sat there for 4 hours not even being entertaining is baffling.
Every time I feel bad about being trash in Halo games, I think of Cody Miller's lies and I feel much better about myself.
Only losers cheat.
I've been called garbage because I haven't been able to beat CE and 2 LASO, but at least I'm honest about only being able to have done Legendary for those two. I have beaten CE solo Legendary, but 2 I did with a friend because 2 is brutal and unforgiving.
@@agentmaryland1239 I'm a Halo veteran and have been playing it since the late 2000s, and even I can't beat Halo 2 on LASO because of how fucking hard it is. I beat it on legendary, and that was hard enough, I couldn't imagine that on LASO now. And you shouldn't have been called that, stats show about 0.03% of Halo players have completed LASO, it's not common at all. Whoever called you trash is a complete dingus and probably never even beat any Halo game on LASO, lmao.
@@agentmaryland1239 Yeah, reiterating what S113Productions said... Literally next to no one completes LASO. I think ive personally only done one mission total and it took me days. No one in my friend group even understood what laso was when i asked them what their best is, then laughed when i told them what it entails. It takes a different breed of person to complete that. If any of your friends are saying that they could beat any halo game on laso, id challenge them to stream it through discord or something, or it didnt happen type shit.
@@agentmaryland1239 just wanted to say that in halo 3 there are some genuinely luck based stuff or in 2 you gotta MEMORIZE the fucking jackal spawns, so yeah whoever is calling you trash hasn't played halo never
I like how Trihex dipped out after 15 minutes at 4:20 and just doesn't come back. He could clearly sense fakery.
If "when you lied on your resume" Was a speedrun.
I love how visibly annoyed the co-hosts are even partway through it all, you can see the guy to Cody's right get increasingly annoyed everytime he dies/fails a trick and is touching his hair constantly showing discomfort.
Man, all I can think about are the few dudes who literally sat next to the guy for 4+ hours enduring this. I don’t know if they were too embarrassed to leave, or just true homies and sticking to the end. Regardless; RIP to all those terrible hours of your life lost.
I honestly think Cody is the only one with confidence in the room, so nobody was gonna say anything until he was out of the room 😂
You should look up the old GDQ days of Nagleria (Naglerian?) abusing SpikeVegeta on mic for hours at a time. There was one GDQ where they played Mario Party as a bonus game and after anything happened Nagleria would just shout at SpikeVegeta and swear at him.
@@LotteBlueJayshave a link or something? I can't seem to find it
11:38 the guy leaving fed up is my spirit animal
Truly, this video is a monument to all his sins…
😂
*“top 5 most sexy cortana pictures”*
that man legitimately scrolled through countless pictures mentally comparing & ranking them by his own arousal. wtf
It's a spam article site, it's probably not owned by him anymore
I've gotta admit, it takes some serious fucking cojones to sit down in a room full of people, in front of a camera, and pick up a controller when you've got no fucking plan and only a vague idea of what you're doing. If that's not the epitome of "Fuck it, I'll figure it out as I go" then I don't know what is lmao
Fantastic vid as always, I died laughing when you brought back the South Park music for the death montage
Right? My soul is withering from the cringe just listening to the video.
Fuck it! We'll do it live!
Reminds me of the time an ordinary woman competed in a world championship sprinting race, because her best friend happened to be the coordinator for the event. It was not only cringe, but she robbed a qualified runner from being able to compete.
@@planescaped Fuckin' thing sucks!
I mean have you seen Billy Mitchell lately? Balls is not something conmen lack.
i have never seen someone suffering of a worse case of Skill Issue than this guy
I have never seen someone suffering of a worse stroke than you writing this
You should watch 6arakin.
It's so nice to realize, that my first Halo playthrough in 2019 was the same as this speedrun.
I would love more videos like this. Speed runners ripping on bad/cheated runs while also telling and showing us what should’ve happened. I’m gripped dude
GDQ back then was a comically small event, it's so strange seeing 5 people in a room as opposed to the hundreds we get now
It's still a comical event..
It’s still very goofy to be around or see in person 😂
it looks like nothing has changed bro i didn't even realise this was a 10+ year old video until like 5 minutes in
Honestly, felt a lot more personal and homely back then. Like a group of friends hanging out or watching someone at an arcade having a good run on the cabinet.
Now it's more of an auditorium of people interested to vaguely interested. Less of a focus on like minded individuals and more of advertising the crowd for one and all to join; banning any and all who don't fit their new mindset.
@TheDewaltBoy I mean, they try to be funny, I guess. But its also less amusing because they have guard rails to prevent dumb funny stuff like this too.
That moment when your speedrun has been beaten by people who played the game casually
This. It's not just that he played it badly compared to the top-level runnners or even high-level runners, it's that his performance was bad by casual standards.
@@youtube-kit9450anyone that says "This" needs to neck themselves.
@@youtube-kit9450literally, im pretty sure i can beat halo 1 on legendary in just under 2 and half hours. Using some speedrun tricks but not all. Cody's run was just pathetic to every halo runner and player.
Cody getting the warthog stuck for so long that the gold sword elite caught up and killed him is the funniest part
6:28: he said “would you like to tell us why you’re shooting your own marines?” Lmaoooo
There's something strangely charming about watching this run be "salvaged", it's like everyone stopped giving a shit and were just enjoying the warmth of the dumpster fire. If it weren't for the rep damage to halo speedrunning and turning the HSH site into fucking eBaum'sWorld it'd be in "so bad it's good" territory.
It served as a learning experience for why runs needed to be vetted and verified, especially before you invite someone to perform live. It ended up being Halo, but it could have well happened to any game with lax verification protocols.
@@SethAbercrombyexcellent point. And bad runs have still happened several times even since verifications have been required, which goes to show how important extensive practice and safety saves are for marathon runs
Cope
"warmth by the dumpster fire," is an amazing way to put it
how do people deal with this level of embarrassment or second hand embarressment at this level
I never understood second hand embarrassment 😂... I don't get embarrassed easily at all so if someone else is doing something embarrassing just gotta laugh and embrace it.. I would have called him out on it tho idk y nobody did that live in that room.
Why would you be embarrassed though. It's not like you can change anything
@@toxic_narcissist I know I cant change anything I just can't wrap my head around how people lie saying they are awesome then go do this and sit there with a straight face like no one can see you lied like that's humiliation and It just makes me feel horrible
Ikr. I’m only 3 minutes into the video and I don’t want to watch it anymore lol
@@wilfred5820 I somehow forced myself to the 13 minutes mark. It's so painful. Should my wife ever bring up how painful it was to give birth to our daughter, I'll refer to this video and tell her I watched half of it!
I'm impressed honestly. Cody must not feel the embarrassment or anxiety of this whole situation. Which is something in itself.
He's either one of the biggest delusional narcissists I've ever seen or one of the biggest chads. He either deluded himself into thinking he still looked good, or he knows how badly he fucked up but just is capable of levels of not giving a fuck previously thought impossible.
its a talent. and he won by getting more fame. his confidence is insane
that was in 2010 when streams were still for complete nerds. it's just a game
I can relate to this, but I would've ended it at 2 hours just for courtesy
I mean, screwing up in front of 100 random nerds shouldn't be that embarrassing
In a sane world everyone in that room would have just pulled the plug. Real friends are the ones who tell you when you suck. Well, thanks for sitting through the BS so that we could get a good laugh out of his incompetence!
apparently 4 hours wasn't enough, they brought him back the following year and he accepted
1:00 I laughed a fair bit at reading "Twin Galaxies verified" only to be immediately told the run was cheated. Some things never change.
Oh thank god, I thought I had the most embarrassing Halo speedrun
yours honestly wasn't that bad
Why this man would do this voluntarily is beyond me. It reminded me of a time I didn't read a book I was supposed to for a school assignment and I was just guessing the plot in front of everyone. Worst feeling in my life at the time.
What happened after you did that? You don’t have to share if you don’t want, I was just curious lol
at around the 17 minute mark, he had been playing for so long that the guy next to him had lost a lot of weight
Lmao
This is so egregious. Cody defrauded a charitable organization, then decreased their ability to receive donations by performing terribly and delaying the events. Honestly, almost sounds like a crime. The fact that he was invited back to do another Halo run the very next year is *BAFFLING*
At least he actually legitimately did a speedrun the second time. It still wasn't very good but it was a speedrun lol
That's why donations should come from the bottom of our hearts and souls, not based on the quality of the entertainment received.
Which shows that GDQ is just circle jerk of scrubs. Remember it’s who you know.
@@JesusProtects Fair enough, but there is a socio-chemical element no matter how virtuous you are. If the runs are bad more people stop watching. They stop thinking about the event and how important it is. When runs are good it makes people have a good time. When people are happy they tend to be more generous (ask casinos)
GDQ is honestly so unique in that I don't think its core viewership could ever genuinely be harmed by one bad run. They have an enormous amount of community support & goodwill, which gives people the freedom to do a bad job sometimes. You'd probably have fewer people attempting live runs if they thought "worst case scenario, i am defrauding charity with how bad i am"; it is a community event after all, not a business sponsorship. It does look like it was quite painful for the Halo community specifically for a while though
Cheater does "Worst Speedrun Ever", asked to leave Halo Speedrunning Community
Your commentary and comedic timing are near perfect man, incredibly funny. I'm looking forward to what you post in the future for sure, fantastic vid!
"DarkSidePhil?! There's a blast from the past!"
If only that were true. He's still around, and making (according to him) "meaningful content" as the #1 trusted source of reviews, expert gameplay, and hot takes.
This is the equivalent of a crowd of people watching your uncle who was "totally killer at this game back in the day" just...play Halo.
“Grandpa’s the best at killin’.”
The secondhand embarrassment was strong with this one, yikes. But thanks for yet another entertaining video Frog, keep it up.
Why would he not think people would discover his secret? Speedrunners are so precise, like even a single wrong movement is analysed and noticed, so its like going to a synchronised swimmer competition after doing the routine once, you're gonna be caught. So odd.
I laughed so hard at, "he ended up beating it on normal." I realized I'd never laugh that hard again and decided to end the vid there.
Keep up the great work!
Part of me doesn't even want to watch this because of how embarrassing it will be, but the commentary of why what he was doing wrong will be worth it.
its so hard when its the basic stuff like the first jump to skip that trigger, like it hurts my soul to see him do it again haha like aaa
LMAO the girl walking in and then leaving, the real hero of this story.
"The rest of the levels are so much easier" the library: am i a joke to you
why would he do that to himself lmao
Man self snitched on himself and knew it was being recorded and livestreamed.
Dumbest criminal ever contender here
The static feedback from the stream makes the silence so much better
This was an incredibly well made video. I really enjoyed your sense of humor and depth of knowledge on the strats that were available at the time. I’m not sure if your usual style of content, but I’ll subscribe and have a scroll through. Keep it up man
this is like the kind of run that a speedrunner would have in their nightmares
"He was even mentioned in the guinness book of world records ..."
Ohhhh, okay, he is one of those guys without any skill but lots of money or connections, like Billy Mitchell!
Cody Mitchell, Billy Miller...
Again with the obsession over Billy Mitchell, get over it. It's not like he was the first cheater in history or the worst for that matter.
@@SuperTigter Alright there billy calm down dont go suing this guy now
@@SuperTigter tell Billy Mitchell to get over it first. Not only will he still not admit it, he's actively litigious against people still. As long as he's still going he'll still be mocked, because he hasn't stopped being a twit
The first time I ever played halo was on heroic and it took me 5 and a half hour so that probably puts to scale how horrible this speedrun was
I think the first time I played through on legendary was back when I was 13 and the game just came out (played on someone else's Xbox I borrowed, I didn't have any new consoles back then). Took like 16 hours, and ~5 of that was the warthog driving section at the end of The Maw lmao
5 hours on your first run in heroic? 😂
@@alanwatts8239 is it funny cause it's fast or slow?
Either you're lying or halo was a joke then
@@forwardmoving8252 on heroic? It took me way longer in legendary but it took 5.6 hours on heroic
Oh God watching 25 minutes of this with commentary was painful I can't imagine what it was like just sitting there
I've seen this covered before but this is the best I've seen, thanks to your halo insights. Good to see your demos and you had some funny burns
As someone who gets very bad second-hand embarrassment, this video killed me
I've always known about this famous blunder, but your breakdown and brand of dry humor makes this so much more enjoyable. Catch me saying "WE'RE SO BACK" in every stream for the next month
Awesome video. It's really sad we had someone like Cody representing the Halo community at a massive public event like GDQ.
Every time you said "we are so fucking back" it made me giggle
Watching his CE run was like playing the library nonstop for a couple hours
The coverage paired with your expertise of the routes made his cringe gameplay bearable. Great video and love how you ended it on a positive note as Halo CE runs are at a much better point today
This video was hysterical. Not just the run but your commentary kept me laughing the whole time. Great content man! Subscribed.
Honestly one of the funniest videos I've watched in a long time, this was great. First time watching your channel Mr. Frog man and this video was awesome. I cannot believe the audacity that this guy had to sign up for a livestreamed marathon speedrun of Halo on Legendary and he just picked up the controller, sat down, and played through the intended way on Normal, seriously the funniest video I've watched in awhile.
This is the closest I'll ever get to watching the actual run. I can barely handle the amount of cringe in this video, let alone watching the whole thing.
The thing that truly blows me away is, no matter how long it takes you to get Bridge Drop, it's always going to be faster than running the full path. Why would you ever make that decision as a speed runner? Oh right. He wasn't one.
Ok, but that Solstheim comment was legendary 😂
They really just watched a man play through a video game normally
It boggles my mind that he would agree to do this run. Some people are so used to lying, they even believe their own lies
"I am the best" *drops magnum for plasma pistol*
I would legitimately learn Halo speedrunning just to do everything with the magnum banned if I had the time to route it, not gonna lie.
Would make a nice challenge run at the very least.
YOO cody miller? i understand why this was your longest script! Thanks for making my day better Frog!
This was painful to watch. Thank you. I honestly do commend him for being brave enough to embarrass himself in front of so many people.
Serious question, why didn’t they just stop at 2 hours? Would have saved everyone a lot of embarrassment.
The hosts didn't care I guess
AND THEY BROUGHT HIM BACK THE NEXT YEAR!
H O W ? !
Cody Miller's run was definitely one of the speedruns of all time.
Great video Frog!
"speed"run would be a more appropriate spelling
@@tylerpehringer5272 more like slowwalk, am i right
Watching this live was honestly kind of fun because we were all losing our minds and clowning on him. It became a lot like live watching a terrible movie with a bunch of other people posting jokes about it the whole time.
Great vid. I’m a sucker for watching this absolute failure of a run.
You missed one of the funniest parts where chat offered to donate money if he hid in a corner and didn’t die for a set amount of time and he does again within 10 seconds
Yeah that was the best part hahaha. Love the quote on the other video about this run after he fails the cliff jump over and over. "After 15 minutes of work and 2 minutes of progress, he's decided to skip it". lmao
I've never played halo in the entirety of my adult life, and you have officialy peeked my interest. This video was incredibly informative and well made. Keep it up, Mister Frog Man.
You and me both
@@kada0420 would you be willing to embark on this Halo journey with me, stranger from a youtube comment section?
@@thehandsomestman666Halo is so dope dude everyone should experience the story Halo Reach is my personal favorite
Its interesting to watch the spectators and their slow disinterest in the speed run. The started to lose hope around the 2 hour mark. But once the British guy left so did the morale.
Saying this was painful to watch is the understatement of the century
