Don't know if anyone else is into video game speed runs, I know it sounds nerdy but I actually like watching them more than most TV show :oops:

Anyway, there was a PSO speed run posted earlier this week over at http://speeddemosarchive.com/news.html - it's the Gamecube version (but has "xbox" in the file name too for some reason) in 2:03 :blinky: - That's more than an hour shorter than the previous run. I'm downloading the DivX version right now and will help seed it for a while.

Two hours? Wow, I wouldn't have thought that possible in PSO, but I often got lost in some of the dungeons and had to backtrack a fair bit. Very impressive that someone could complete it in such a short time.

Speed runs are better than most shows on TV. ;)

I think the Xbox version of PSO is the same as the Gamecube's so, that explains the name thing. 2:03 is really good for PSO. I guess you can cut out a lot of time once you have all the bosses down and know the maps well enough to avoid deadends.
