This game :) this game. Man. Me and my big sis both got memories to last a lifetime. Nostalgy is at full force, not momentary, not fleeting. It's in every note of ingame music, every thrust of the sword, every enemy conquered and level gained. It is reliving childhood, when you understood so little but instead would let impressions sink into your heart and mind.

Nowadays it's like: "Oh ok, that didn't work, so it's propably this because of the way the game seems to be built. Propably so this and that first to advance later on, as X and Y are almost sure to follow". As a kid it's like "what is happening, what am I doing, where do I go, I can't understand" and so, you had to just... Go!

Right, although this is quite common among speedrunners, because they know that everyone is standing on the shoulders of each other. No speedrun record was done without the work of someone else, so the speedrunner refers also to his community. But he cares about his viewers also, so it's okay.
