the rainforest cafe in chicago has closed. i am devastated, but if you follow me on twitter, i might feel better. @tomatoanus
Please keep making these fallout 4 videos there my favourite ones
I grew up in chicago. I'll miss those stupid animal cups :( Love the videos keep up the amazing work!
wait WHAT NO HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN
rip. for reference though, who was the vessel this time? I must have missed it :(
hard cock cafe is better anyway imho tbqh

no way he would say that - totally useless "and", double "I'm"
his heart rate climbs when looking at the off-center window on the door
Can't blame him tbh

And it goes down as soon as the door opens.
It’s been 53 years and I still think about it in the middle of the night
my OCD ass:
It takes me 35 minutes to create my character
I swear to God same lmao he's way too smart to be doing speedruns man lmao
everytime
I died at the point that you mentioned the "big gun skill check". I genially thought you could somehow spare Kellogg that I never knew about only to see you drop a Nuke on his bald head
You know who else died when he mentioned the big gun skill check?
Kellogg did.
"The road ahead will be hard"

He was four parallel universes ahead of us
I like how fallout 4 is so broken the speedrun is more scientific calculations than actually gameplay
And its not even the MOST broken game in the series
@@onerandomdude4015 yes it is by far
Reeeeeaaaalllllyyyyy?
Love the game tho lol
Ive shot up to this comment
The most baffling thing still is how he got to Goodneighbor without hesitation and getting lost
I can almost never find goodneighbor
Actual lol.

tried this when i was stopped by the cops. im now in jail watching speedruns on my smugled phone
I know this video is rather old, so you probably won’t see this comment, but this is one of the only videos that can get me to sleep. It’s not boring, just soothing. Thank you!

i used it to stay up😂
you have to tell me if you still fall asleep to it
@@killerkoonsteryep! Still use it to this day
@@sohbrooks309Isn’t it weird that videos you would think keep you awake actually help you fall asleep. Not just with speed runs but also with scary videos from creators like Mr. Ballen and comical podcasts also help me fall asleep. You’d never guess they help you sleep but they really help a lot and it makes me wonder why lol
Tomatoanus is one of the few TH-camrs TH-camrs left. Time stamps to skip “boring” stuff, links to no commentary vid, hand typed subtitles. Impeccable content creator that really seems to care about his viewers instead of his views.
Would highly recommend video of him explaining new vegas glitches in front of a crowd it literally got me into speed runs because he made it so fun.
It seems he really likes his yt career
And that he puts lots of effort into his videos
Sucking him ngl
Hand typed subtitles speaks VOLUMES ❤❤❤
The problem is a lot of viewers have low standards. If you can get away with minimum effort, why put more effort in it? Low effort content get tons of views and likes, so there's really no incentive for people to create high quality content. Imagine spending 3 weeks to produce a high quality video, and then you see a "I Prank My Girlfriend" video get 50 times more views than you.
"If you hate my voice" has the best voice ever
Honestly if he narrated with Morgan freeman i would literally ejaculate.

@@fafo635 I'm sorry but i think it would be better if Ahoy narrated with him

Literally came to hear his voice :D
The "big guns check" is still my favorite joke in this entire run. Glad to have you back anus :D
lol i was waiting for a literal speech check it was hilarious
I had to watch that part twice to understand
@@xRedhill I had to read your comment to remember that part to understand the joke XD
My parents named me 'R' because it's efficient and it requires the least amount of finger movement.

Excuse me?
*Your* agdq speedrun?
You're not fooling me friend, the runner was a guy named Tomatoangus with a silent G and is definitelly not a Golden Retriever, but nice try
Stolen valor
@Jamie It does not matter what race he is, if he's being called the "Air Bud" of anything then he IS a Golden Retriever
His profile pic is a Shiba Inu :/ not a golden retriever

Golden Retriever? lol he ain't no gaijin dog. Thats my Japanese waifu dog right there
When a speedrunner finds a method that saves 0.02 seconds:
*"Sometimes my genius, it's almost frightening."*
Like I did on this run by cutting few corners and not bumping into a dog like he did. Didn't record the run but know this internet, I am the fastest.

@@BoomerMiku Thank you for believing in me, means a lot to me. After becoming a Grandmaster in chess but not actually beating Magnus or Hikaru consistently I felt empty inside. I wanted to be the best at something. I googled "game with little bit better graphics than Chess" and found these Fallout games ravaged by Bethesda. I thought to myself this is perfect to put my energy at the age of 38. Not a lot of competition since nobody actually cares. Indeed graphics better than chess. All check marks crossed. Ready. Set. Go.
Guys I'm not even 40 yet and I have claimed the title of fastest Fallout player. I feel fully self-actualized. Thanks to my many fans for making this dream a reality.
@@Skeptic2006 This is a really good shitpost
That Bridge to Terabithia joke really got me. It was so unexpected XD
Bro I felt like I got sucker punched lmao
Coming from someone who's only ever played about 20 hours of Skyrim, I'm unreasonably obsessed with your videos. The careful explanations of each trick people use is enough to make someone who had never heard of speedruns before watch all your videos multiple times, kinda a cool achievement I would say! Plus you have the most soothing, nice voice to listen to, all round 10/10 content
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the full subtitling? It must have taken a lot of work to do for a full hour, so thanks for taking that time to help any viewers who may be hard of hearing.
In the same way the clear audio and making the explanations mostly not need vision for people who are blind or visually impared.
I have hearing loss in both of my ears and subtitles help me out so much, thanks for bringing up this topic
@Super Mario You can tell when it's auto generated because the subtitle language will be Language (auto-generated). Manually created subtitles (like those in this video) will just have whatever language it's in. Auto-generated subs tend to be complete garbage and as someone who is hard of hearing in only my left ear they actually cause more confusion than just trying to figure out what's being said myself, so someone going through the trouble of subtitling an hour-long video is extremely helpful and appreciated.
@@chartem5383 it’s very cool for people like me who learn english

For anyone wondering he currently holds the any% world record for fallout 4 by almost a 2 minute lead. (As of 8/29/2020)
Still does as of 09/15/20
@@KSM0121 He's still on top as of 10/20/2020! Still has those 2 minutes on the next guy, too.
As of 11/25/2020, he’s still ahead by 2 minutes!
There have been no changes to the top 5 submitted runs in 7 months, so those 2 minutes are still intact as of 4Mar2021
he has the any % speedrun world record for full game and no intro, also the speedrun world records for sex%, warp % and pirate %, also the speedrun wr for automatron as of march 11th 2021
I mean if the Institute really doesn’t know where Virgil is, then by hiding in an area with very little humans, the chance of integrated synth spies finding him or even hearing about him is very small, so this isolated cave in the glowing sea is a very good hiding space. The only way they’d be able to find him is through a random gen 2 synth search party happening upon his cave.
This was my thought. I don’t think Virgil is hiding in the radiation. I think he’s hiding way the fuck out in the glowing sea for isolation. The nearest humans are the Children Of Atom and they’re kooky so he doesn’t have to interact with them. If anyone comes within spitting distance of him he’s gonna know (although there is something to be said that MC can just like….walk into his cave)
@@descendintostanarchy my exact thoughts
I appreciate the work the community does in the guidelines to make speedrunning acessible to those who may not have high powered computers
“It’s gonna be like a 35:57” he says with his 150 bpm giving him psychic foresight
this happens at 57:19, but he already finished the game by activating that button, a little mental math to when the HUD disappears was done, and happened to be correct
Idk how Kellogg went from "That bald guy" to "Frosted Tips" but I'm here for it
I would guess: Kellogg > Kellogg's cornflakes > frosted flakes > frosted tips

Even with all those explanations I could barely wrap my head around what was happening, that's just crazy. Thanks for the video!
It’s amazing how y’all figure out all these things, glad your explaining everything you’re doing
59 minutes of explanation during this 35 minute speedrun...with all the rules, important story parts glitches and everything...that's another speedrun record by itself!

“Big guns skill check”
Me: What?
20 seconds later
Me: Ah... I don’t know why I was expecting a speed runner to go through any kind of dialogue.
its sometimes called negotiations as well.
“The Airbud of speed running” is a goated title
I *could not* watch speed runs without a commentary, and your commentaries are some of the best
this man had us watching loading screens for an hour
and that is why I have the sarcastic loading screens mod.
All of Bethesda's games any% speedruns are akin to getting Dr. Strange really, _really_ high and telling him there's free hotpockets on _the other side_ of things.
I'm not sure what that means but the idea sounds so damn hilarious I like it anyways.
I think its more like seeing through the perspective of a man out of his mind on meth who thinks he's Dr Strange
It just works!
same with mirrors edge runs lmfao. trippy
Same with portal 1 runs
I haven't even watched the video yet but you mentioned that there are few links available for other versions people may prefer, a time code and other considerate things are just making me feel it's gonna be a great one. Props to you bud, already awesome!
dude your introduction is so honest you are doing a great job keep it up!! first time on your channel and all the precision you made at the beginning are useful.
i sub
I think this is the first time I've ever "got" speedrunning. I was really disappointed when I first heard of it because it was all about glitches and not just doing the game quickly. Now I understand why that's interesting. Whoever discovered the punchwarp is fucking genius
Incidentally, there are also glitchless speedruns of this game. They're just about an hour longer.
@@sagecolvard9644 The fact that they are glitchless and only an hour longer is quite impressive
I know I'm quite late but if you're interested in speedruns in other games being explained well, I'd recommend watching FriendlyBarons casual vs speedrun series.
He compares a speedrun and a casual playthrough of GTA V and explains the different strategies quite well.
@@rougedoge1204 This guy's not so friendly tho
@@naumen6508 yeah. Fuck friendly baron
If you're reading this... if you ever hit rock bottom, I hope there is a COC plane to bring you back up.
Wow, awesome video! Very well explained, and I appreciate the humour you put into it. Congrats on that run, I am amazed by how much brainpower and practice it takes to run this game, well done
Omg your heartrate! XD very cool of you to make those gamesaves available. I might try them out! Well done on the run!
“Avoiding having to use a rope swing and pull a Leslie Burke” wth, I wasn’t ready for that.
What does it mean
Beltion Bambie watch bridge to terabithia
Its too fucking soon
nice speedrun but I prefer that one that gentleman called "tomatoangus" did at AGDQ
glad to have you back
Yeah, and that guy actually brought props and pants to explain the glitch. Obviously he is a much better speed runner and his commentary is a lot more entertaining too! 😝😝😝😝
Jack _ he’s doing well! Now a days he runs a new channel called TomangoSkeptic
I thought the off-center window was on purpose since it's skewed toward the doorknob, which you'd reach/lean toward when preparing to open it
This is so uncanny and how your speed runners are so thorough. I can really appreciate your accuracy and memory for these runs! Great work!
I love how he named glitch with cones a "VLC Clipping"
I dont get it :((
@@pedrhomsfizio4875 VLC is a video playback and editing software, and its logo is a traffic cone
I’ve always loved the considerations the Fallout community make for those who don’t have the most expensive PC setups
Considering how poorly all bethesda games run even on high-end computers, it's pretty much a must.
@@AKKK1182 huh i would think most high-end computer can run all/Most Bethesda games pretty good I say that because my xbox one S can run Bethesda games really well games like fo4 never crash for me they only ever crash when I have a ton of mods and skyrim never crashes even tho i play it on xbox 360 and fo3 doesn't crash either
The games started anti-capitalist, and whether Bethesda keeps that tradition or not, we will.
Fallout speedrunning: hey, this game should be capped on frames so that it can be accessible by everyone!
Gta speedrunning: Ha! You want us to cap at 90? TOO SLOW! Get a better PC or don’t try!
@@toe_sucker_4165 Fallout anticapitalist lol. A game made to win money sure is anticapitalist
How tf did someone figure this out and why are they not rocket scientist's
Great video, love the detail. Always love seeing how its done
The radiation doesn't protect him, if the institute knows where he is. If they don't know already, then the radiation makes it less likely for him to be found by anyone at random. If he hid in an area people might come across, he'd have to kill random innocents or risk being found by the institute. Moreover, the glowing sea is inhospitable for other reasons as well, so any synth that finds him is likely to be alone and maybe even damaged, so he can take them out before they report back.
It's definitely not a perfect solution, but it's mildly better than hiding in a cave that isn't surrounded by radiation and irradiated monstrosities. Since he isn't affected by the radiation...Why not hide there?
So it gives him protection?
@@fartface8918 Not really. It's more like it protects any random people who might come across him. His only real protection is obscurity, so living in radiation makes it easier for him to maintain that protection without having to murder everyone that comes across him.
CyberDragonGaming No, it makes it harder for the institute to find him in the first place, if they know where he is they can get to him no problem
Doesn’t radiation heal him too? Or is that only ghouls and not mutants
definitely only ghouls
"...pulling a Leslie Burke"
I was not prepared to be smacked with that today.
Still hurts after all these years
F
Where did he say that?
@@TheBiggyJMan 8:32 onward mate
Tomato went a bridge too far with that one

You're legitimately so good at storytelling man.
I can't imagine not wanting to hear your voice but props to you for providing it.
Also, I will never forget "Oh there was Radaway right here" best moment in speedrunning right there.
I really love how the intro is so open and welcoming to people who would normally be unfamiliar with speed running. Instead of shunning them for being ignorant, he’s accepting and educating them. What an absolute king.
I like ushankas
I loved learning about speed running through your vid. Great work!
Yo man you are first one i see finally uploading only game sounds no voice over nice because there is days i really want just watch game and listen for its sounds :) thanks you definitely deserve a sub ! :) keep that good work up !
Virgil lives in a cave because he is a gamer at heart and hates being around normies
Virgil spends all his time ranting online about how Synth gamers aren't REAL gamers, and are only into it to get the attention of the "fleshies"
Spoken like a true gamer
Virgil hard R
And only leaves his cave to hunt pc and mobile gamers
"i'd like you to notice that the window in the door is off center"
me: "NOO why?! Why would you say that!? That's illegal!"
I can never unsee it. It will haunt my every playthrough.
Never would have pondered or come across the concept of a spoucecicle without your video thank you
You are a right bastard for pointing out that door window. Now I will never unsee it. Great video outside of that.
Not gonna lie, when you picked up the fatman, I was rooting super hard for you to have found out a way to make the removed head work.
only in my dreams
Damn your heart rate started going crazy at the end! Nice run dude. I've been binging all your videos lol
I appreciate you exposing things that some people think are obvious example the heart rate showing on screen really cool and easily explained
This guy: doesn’t have the game crash or break down while doing all this
Me: has the game crash instantly after nearing downtown Boston
Mine has a 50/50 chance to crash when I talk to Proctor Teagan for some fucking reason, but yeah, had to download the Cheat Terminal mod to allow me to teleport around downtown Boston on Survival difficulty
6:46 thanks man I didn't need to see that
sorry
@@tomatoanus sorry doesn't cut it cause I've seen that door thousands of time I'll never look at it the same
thats it, game's ruined, literally unplayable
That might be Intentional. There's a wall on the right side of the door, so you won't stand there when opening door. The door opens inwards to the right, so you really won't be standing there. The lock and door handle is on the left, so you WOULD stand there. It makes some sense placing the window further to the left.
Placing it center wouldn't NOT make sense, but you would have a blind zone on the outside left if the window was placed further right.
Fin.
@@Twiggyay huh
I just love speedruns. Ive just got into fallout 4 and its so cool to see this
In the words of the true god Todd Howard “it just works”
There are no rules in the rulebook that says that a vegetable with an asshole can't speedrun Fallout.
Edit: I forgot a tomato is a fruit, in that case you might want to double check the rulebook to make sure this run is still legal.
Don't worry, vegetable is only a culinary term. While a tomato is definitely a fruit biologically, its use 8n the kitchen is that of a vegetable for the most part
@@wea69420 Exactly. It's like they say, you'd never put a tomato in a fruit salad. But that's why this confusion is important to clear up, since it's unknown whether the Fallout Universal Constraints Committee (FUCC for short) would allow a speedrun performed by a fruit, and whether they define a tomato by it's biology or it's culinary use.
@@SchadeTree I like Kiwi
@@SchadeTree You underestimate my fruit salads. Tomato, cucumber, sweet peppers, and olive, make a great fruit salad.
@@abonynge Cucumber's a fruit too? Man biology is weird.
You are right that that sounds pretty yummy. Add a little balsamic vinegar or Italian dressing, maybe some pepper and/or some other seasoning, and I'd eat the shit out of that.
Regarding your point about Virgil not being protected by radiation, it is also quite dumb of him to turn himself back into a regular human with the serum while in his cave in the Glowing Sea. Once he reverts back to a regular human, his immunity from radiation is gone, so now he is stranded in the Glowing Sea. I sure hope he has plenty of Rad-X and Rad-Away stocked up.
Or its a fancy suicide.
@@dlee7466he's already in the glowing sea, that's the issue
So...Tomatoanus is actually doing him a favor by lying to him instead of helping him. Nice.
Of all the speedrun breakdowns I've ever seen, this has got to be the most complex. Pure rocket science.
bro your intros are the best, haveing so manny choices for pleasing most peoples possible xoxo
Not even going to lie, I am 100% lost on how all the glitches interconnect, however I really enjoyed the video! Nice work to all the people who discovered all this wow! And good job on pulling it all off so flawlessly.
One of the amazing parts of this speed run is that he never crashes.
You've earned yourself another follower on all socials. Nice touch adding the 'love yourself and tell others' comment. Thankyou, needed that.
Dude mad props. I don’t know why this video was recommended to me a year late but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I filtered comments by recent and don’t know why all the recent comments are hating on you. Keep being awesome man! They don’t get it
8:30 "We then run across a log to cross a creek, avoiding having to use a rope swing and pull a Leslie Burke." That Bridge to Terabithia reference, oof 😭😭😭
Thank you for returning to us in the midst of these trying times, Mr Anus.
Just found your channel. You're great. Thanks for uploading great content, and being an overall good person.
Thanks for making me relive my childhood trauma from the bridge to terabithia :'(
God bless Bethesda for recognizing how important it is for us players to be able to quicksave, kill , then quickload in an efficient manner.
Thanks to this save/load functionality optimization, it is now exploitable to unbelievable depths of complexity and allows Tomatobutth0le to bring us entertainment with layers upon layers of speedrunning artistry.

Tomato "The-G-Is-Silent" Angus uploads make me even happier than Summoning Salt uploads.
It really is silent tho.

"It just works."
Reminder that this is what Todd 'Most Powerful Being in the Universe' Howard considers 'working'. Christ, the beta versions of F4 must have been summoning daemons out of the screen or something.
Well, flying creature from F76 have some code from Skyrim dragons soooo who knows, maybe they are some daedra leftovers in F4.
You know, people don't really seem to read much into that "people on the internet say our games are buggy, i read it on the internet so i know it's true" joke he once made, but it really gives me the impression that he feels that Bethesda's games (from a bug/glitch perspective) are just fine and that people are just exaggerating or even outright lying when they talk about bugs in Bethesda games.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Yeah I mean my first playthrough of fo4 was mostly bug free besides textures and pathing, buuuuut once you start pushing the game it just kinda cracks open and that's when quests break and you wind up teleporting across the map because you hit a couple inputs no one could have tested for unless it was literally by accident. Bethesda games are only a buggy mess when you don't play in the 100% approved Todd Howards "It just works" method
@@JohnUnsub "todd howard's it just works method", also known as "not actively trying to break the game".
I love how you talk shit yet admit you didnt encounter almost any bugs in your normal playthrough until you started pushing the game's limits on purpose
"It just works... just don't walk too close to cars 'cuz that shit'll kill ya"
Love that there's a commentary dude who gives the option of just seeing the footage without the commentary. Wish everyone does what you've done here.
8:22 the cornetto trilogy reference is on point, subscribed
With regards to the radiation thing, I always thought that Virgil's hiding in the Glowing Sea was less about the fact that there's a crapload of radiation and more about the fact that there are a lot of really nasty things LIVING in the radiation. You know, deathclaws, radscorpions, crazy Capital Wasteland cultists with Nuka Grenades, etc. Sure the institute could send a bunch of Gen 1 and 2s into the Glowing Sea but it would probably be really expensive and difficult. Virgil, being a former Institute member, is probably well familiar with its stinginess and is banking on it.
Yeah. Also radiation doesn’t mess with the synths themselves, but it could and would mess with any sort of tracker put in vigil. Also #2, he’s a super mutant, not like he can go anywhere else
personally I thought it had to do with Virgil thinking the Institute would never assume he'd be there, since there is a ton of radiation and they never go outside.
Me watching a group of supers die to radscorpions: Ok
“What were about to do is a bit complicated”. The whole thing has been complicated bro.
Super touched by his motivational speech near the end, liked immediately for that. What a king.
Came for the explanation stayed for his sheer politeness... Man u are great... Godspeed to you ❤️
Actual meeting dialogue in regard to pip boy app: “What? You guys don’t have phones?”

"Avoiding using a rope swing and pulling a Leslie Burke"
Jesus CHRIST, dude!
Holy fuck I didn't pick this up the first time but holy shit dude
Lowkey cried during that movie scene ngl
Sorry for being a pest, but could you explain the joke to me? I don't know why rope swings juxtaposed with Leslie Burke is funny. I don't even know who Leslie Burke is.
@@AidenRKrone Leslie is a character from a movie called "A Bridge To Terabithia". She died from swinging the rope into Terabithia and drowing in the water stream she fell in
Blake Stone It’s a joke about an old book called Bridge to Terabithia, where these two kids frequently cross a river using a rope swing and play around in the forest.
I won’t spoil the ending because the book is really good, but the joke in the video is about the ending to the book.
this run is so hilarious, you spend so much of it without the timer even ticking
I will never understand how anyone can figure out all of the glitches, pixel perfect movements and dialogue/cutscene techniques and then the perfect combination use of them…… and still manage to find quicker uses!!!! True skill and mastery of your trade.
Sheer obsession. I always say that you will never be more obsessed about something than a Speedruner.
"If you hate my voice" Boi your voice and the dead pan comedy is why I watch and rewatch your videos NeedlePeen.
Virgil isn't hiding from institute synths, since he probably has ways of dealing with them; he is actually hiding from Kellogg
today I learned that speedrunning is waaaay more inclusive than I expected.
I'm basically new to "new" speed running. Haven't seen one in years. I really appreciated your intro and how it explained things. But I guess I'm "oldschool", speed run back in the day was grueling boss fights, perfectly timed attacks on both enemies and terrain, and just a knowledge of the map. The new age stuff makes my head spin. Reload a certain pistol, bring up map, quick load, place mine, save, load, shoot a rock just right for particles, switch to a knife, stab the floor, save, load, pull out a bazooka, save, load, pull out pistol again, and if done *just right*, the game engine gets confused into thinking you have a rocket engine up your arse or for whatever reason, the reload animation makes you jet off. Oh, and in this case.. Puts you where you want it to in the process via cells. While I AM impressed that the community figured it out, just why is this speed running? This is a BethSoft title. Full of bugs, and at the intro you stated they were patched out. Yes, technically, this is completing the game as fast as possible. But. BUT. You skipped 99% of everything. Maybe I'm too opinionated. But in my opinion, this is not a speed run, but a glitch finish. On an unfinished product, which is technically every game at launch nowadays. Again, I'm impressed at the (wo)man-hours that was put into figuring this out. But is this really part of the game? Or is it breaking it? Playing it how it wasn't meant to be played by the dev's..
