This game is honestly so much fun to run. I started getting into it watching Charlie watch the documentary and then going back and watching it myself. And had to give it a try after watching Charlie run it. First game I ever speedran, apart from doing some casual attempts at CTR. No real RNG, just pure execution, and runs are quick enough to not be frustrating.
Charlie's memory is insane lol, between him remembering people's faces after seeing them for a split second and also being able to remember so many things while doing the run after only watching it once
YEAAAAA CHARLIE!!!! (My wife and I say this now and will continue saying it after our kid is born in the next few days) I hope the best for this channel!
Hey Charlie, something to make you proud of Florida. Did you know that Miyazaki, while doing level design for elden ring, took inspiration from Florida for Caelid’s design
Dude I was playing this game on PS2 when I was like 8-10. I was all about some LotR movies/books/games. The nostalgia watching Charlie play this game is crazy haha.
I'm so glad this game is getting some recognition, the gdq run is so fun to watch and this game has such a good soundtrack, the hobbion level song will be stuck in my head until I die
I’ve watched so many streamers do speed runs and usually it bores me compared to other content, but there’s something about watching you do this that’s SO much more entertaining to me!
I had this game as a very young kid and completely forgot about it. It took me watching all critical's videos on it for me to remember but I kept getting the strangest feelings of déjà vu and nostalgia but just couldn't figure out why but after seeing a specific part in this video I remembered playing the shit out of this game and loving it so much.
This run is really interesting, I'm not really speedrunner but I like finding glitches and bugs in games. This is interesting to me because of how many different glitches you have to do, some are jumping out of bounds, some are wiggling and some are just skipping in bounds with jump-attack launch... really curious if Charlie is going to get better time, I hope so!
Love to see when you climb the speedrun ladders! Hope you stick to this until you're atleast top 15! Good luck to your future runs and to the rng gods haha
Get Charlie’s attention so he sees this! You should look into speed running mass effect 1. There’s a lot of clipping through the map and out of bounds tricks you get to do, plus it’s just an amazing nostalgic experience.
id fucking LOVE to see more of this. i dont watch the streams often so i dont actually know what hes been playing but i'd also love to see more elden ring speedruns ofc, charlie + elden ring is just sooooo fcking good together like piss and orange juice its so fucking nice to watch. but yeah this game is really fucking enjoyable as a game to run, has the magic of majoras mask and oot n64 era game runs. those games all have the best fucking routes and glitches/strats theyre so nice for running
I loved this game, one of my favorite on the PS2, definitely gonna have to get this on the PC now and see if I can’t go for a speed run on my old console
Honestly, i didn't think to Much about speedruns but seeing you play Charlie makes It a lot more fun, even if It's a game i never seen or heard about , keep 'em coming
Shrek was born in an unknown swamp where he lived with his parents as a child. His father tried to eat him and his mother never gave him so much affection and his parents abandoned Shrek when he was 8 years old because it was an "Ogre Tradition". Shrek tried to be accepted by the people but failed because they believed him that he was a "horrible beast", so Shrek finds a swamp who becomes his home but is presumably who sometimes people attack his swamp despite being all times scares by Shrek and they run away. Shrek so lived a solitary life. Shrek annoyed by Donkey's singing. In the first film, Shrek is shown as a recluse who lives a fairly carefree life in his swamp. At first, he appears to like being by himself and enjoys scaring people, but not hurting them. Even though his background is unknown, it is assumed that most ogres hurt people, but Shrek isn't violent. One day in the forest, a talking Donkey enters Shrek's territory pursued by a group of knights. The head knight orders Shrek to be arrested, but Shrek effortlessly scares them off and saves Donkey. A grateful Donkey thanks Shrek repeatedly (to the latter's irritation) and convinces him to spend the night outside of Shrek's house. However, more fairy tale creatures soon arrive and begin to overcrowd his swamp. Shrek demands to know why they have come and learns that Lord Farquaad has dumped them all there. Outraged, Shrek takes Donkey and goes to his castle to demand his swamp back. Upon arriving at Farquaad's castle in Duloc, he defeats every knight in a contest to determine who will rescue Princess Fiona. When he wins, this intrigues Farquaad and he cuts a deal with Shrek: If he rescues his princess, he will give Shrek's swamp back. Shrek agrees and the duo set out once again to the dark castle Fiona is locked away in, guarded by a fire-breathing Dragon. But first, Shrek and Donkey have to cross the only rope bridge to the castle hanging precariously over a lake of lava. Once inside, Shrek orders Donkey to find stairs because the princess will be in the highest room of the tallest tower while Shrek himself searches for the Dragon. Unfortunately, Donkey inadvertently finds the dragon, and Shrek is forced to fight it, only to be flung by its tail right through the roof of the tallest tower. While Donkey keeps the dragon occupied, Shrek meets Princess Fiona for the first time and leaves with her in tow. After they rescue Donkey and escape from the castle, Fiona insists that Shrek take his helmet off, and is repulsed by the fact that Shrek is an ogre. Shrek appears not to care and takes Fiona by force to Farquaad. As nightfall approaches, Fiona demands they stop for the night, but secludes herself in a cave for reasons unknown. That night, Shrek and Donkey bond while stargazing, and Shrek confides in Donkey that he chooses to live alone because most people (except Donkey) prefer to fear and stereotype him rather than try to get to know him. The next day, the trio continue to Duloc and encounter the Merry men, where Fiona reveals her impressive martial arts skills. After the fight, Fiona notices an arrow in Shrek's butt and orders Donkey to find a blue flower with red thorns just to get rid of him. Despite some difficulty, Fiona manages to remove the arrow and they continue their journey. Throughout the rest of the trip back to Farquaad, Fiona warms up to Shrek and Donkey and Shrek begins to fall in love with Fiona. However, when bringing her a flower that evening after stopping to camp at an old mill, Shrek overhears Fiona talking to Donkey about how no one could love an ugly monster. Shrek thinks she's talking about him and enraged and hurt, he goes and brings Farquaad and his knights to take her to his castle. As promised, Shrek gets his swamp back and he is by himself once again. However, Shrek is still not happy, so after an intense argument, he apologizes to Donkey, with the latter convincing Shrek to get Fiona back. They take Dragon (whom Donkey started a relationship with) to Lord Farquaad's palace. Shrek crashes their wedding and confesses to Fiona that he loves her. At first, Fiona tells him that he's too late and prepares to kiss Farquaad. However, the sun begins to go down, and Fiona transforms into an ogre too, surprising Shrek and making him realizes what he heard at the windmill. However, Farquaad is disgusted with her now and orders her and Shrek arrested. As the guards grab them, Shrek finds himself overwhelmed, but manages to summon Donkey and Dragon. They burst through the stained glass windows of the church and Dragon eats Farquaad, killing him. Shrek and Fiona kiss, breaking her curse, but permanently turning her into an ogre. Fiona is still unsure about herself, but Shrek assures Fiona he still thinks she's beautiful, and they get married. The story ends with Shrek and Fiona's wedding and going off in an onion carriage on their way to their honeymoon....
Omg as the person who watched this whole video in one sitting, the satisfaction level of watching him finish his run under 25 minutes in the end is beyond explanation... My jaw hurts from smiling so hard
no omg literally, this video was fucking amazing, and the fact i watched the whole history video of these speed runs Charlie reacted to which was like 2 hours long... amazing to see this!
@Alyssa Jasmine if you're trying to express negativity for attention, at least don't make it so blatantly obvious that you're trying to express negativity for attention.
Awesome speed run. I need to see you do Crash Twinsanity . Kind of like the same genre map and story wise as this game ( continuously linear opening map . ) and people have made some hilarious records with it. Would love to see that one next
Started this video drunk thinking it was only 16 minutes long, 34 minutes in and I have finally realized but have no intention of leaving without watching the rest
As a speedrunner myself, I love this video format. It's quite different from what other speedrun related videos usually are, those are all great but the switch up is nice. It highlights the steps of the journey in a super cool way that really motivates me to learn new runs. Going into this I had never heard of this game by the end I felt like I understood how the speedrun flows and how it FEELS. Good work charlie
@@sheeti4467 i would agree for some cases, but this hurts me, skipping whole chapters in one jump aint right, he does not know there are bosses, did not see 99% of levels and stuff
3:38 the character stretched right as Charlie did. His skill is so profound that his character is mirroring him
glad i’m not the only one that caught such a beautiful moment
When you become one with the game
Plot twist, Charlie is bilbo
@@itznotjaxx5388 their heights are similar
Lmao, that’s funny!
Fun Fact: Tolkien liked the speedruns so much he wrote a book about this game
That's pretty cool, Tolkien always seemed like a hardcore gamer to me
lol a bot stole your comment
Ye I remember chapter 14 the wall clip hack man that was an interesting chap
He actually made a movie too
cap
49:13 has me dying. His satisfaction and happiness sniped out of nowhere.
Charlie rlly the same size as bilbo. He’s channeling himself and his everyday movement into the gamersphere.
He’s Manifesting it.
Charles is a horrid gamer and you can find much better content on my paege
He has just as much power as bilbo too. He really is manifesting. Transforming even.
Charlie is a super solid 5'6.
You know nothing of Hobbits.
@YeaMan nice copy posta
How does Charlie even choose what games to speedrun? His selections are so random to me lol.
I fart
Oops I let one rip
FARTTTTT
He saw a very interesting documentary on the speedrunning of this game, and honestly I'm not surprised he got into this game.
you dont get to choose the game, the game chooses you
3:37 his movements irl and his character's movements are almost synced wtf
Was gonna comment this
You have to get into the head of the hobbit to master the run
This game is honestly so much fun to run. I started getting into it watching Charlie watch the documentary and then going back and watching it myself. And had to give it a try after watching Charlie run it. First game I ever speedran, apart from doing some casual attempts at CTR. No real RNG, just pure execution, and runs are quick enough to not be frustrating.
ok
ok
Fuck the ok.
ok
What’s ur best time so far?
Charlie's memory is insane lol, between him remembering people's faces after seeing them for a split second and also being able to remember so many things while doing the run after only watching it once
"I can see the proper geometry, target acquired." *nails it*
At 49:13, that second where Charlie gets bashed into non-existance is an absolute Elden Ring moment, things got absolutely insane for no reason
Idk why but I died when he said “Dormamu I’ve come to bargain” now I want to see Charlie appear as doctor strange in Multiverse of Madness
49:15 fucking sent me, the comedic timing there was pure gold I cried lmao
Lmfaooooo as he was hopping too
He got so lucky he grabbed the checkpoint
Give it a few weeks of dedication and Charlie can get in the top 10’s, that’s how good of a gamer he is.
Top tier epic gamer
Ok
true
Facts
At least top 3 by the end of the year
YEAAAAA CHARLIE!!!! (My wife and I say this now and will continue saying it after our kid is born in the next few days) I hope the best for this channel!
congratz in advance, brother. may young charlie live long and prosper (:
@@Meskalin_ congratulations buddy
Thanks! We need more people like Charlie!
Hey Charlie, something to make you proud of Florida. Did you know that Miyazaki, while doing level design for elden ring, took inspiration from Florida for Caelid’s design
bro there's no HOES in here this is CAELID you are going to DIE
Absolutely dead, you thought these pests were gonna let your insolence fly? Go get bent bud Caelid has nothing on Charles White's daily life.
Is this a fact?
I answered my question
Without even playing or looking at this game before, you can already tell it's a classic.
@YeaMan shutup
@@phoenixlw_ he's a bot, along with many others
Let’s be honest, Charlie could easily be top 1, he just wants to give the other 49 people a chance
More like had he not made content around this. His fans wouldn’t be there taking some of the top spots from him lol
Charlie sure is a chad for giving them a chance to beat him
@@cum3864 Charlie's**
@Tom Van Loenen your mother is getting old

Dude I was playing this game on PS2 when I was like 8-10. I was all about some LotR movies/books/games. The nostalgia watching Charlie play this game is crazy haha.
Imagine traveling back in time to 1937 and showing this video to J.R.R. Tolkien
Charlie basically shaved 25 minutes off his initial time. He's like Senna trying to shave seconds off of Pole Position at Monaco or Suzuka.
Anyone else notice 3:35 charlie stretched his arms at the same time the hobbit did???
I was about to say that too :P
Hehe i was looking for exactly that comment xD that is the real speedrun tactics, hes one with his charakter and can feel everything..
@@justSayKnow411 lol foreal!

Love to see when you climb the
speedrun ladders! Hope you stick to this until you're atleast top 15! Good luck to your future runs and to the rng gods haha
3:38 Charlie and the character yawned at the same time lol
Charlie going from the Hobbit Speed Run record lore to inserting himself into the sagas. True character development.
I love Charlie's speedruns, so I was very happy when I seen this was 1 hour long
Get Charlie’s attention so he sees this!
You should look into speed running mass effect 1. There’s a lot of clipping through the map and out of bounds tricks you get to do, plus it’s just an amazing nostalgic experience.
I am so happy to see this game getting attention. It's one of my childhood favourites.
Yes!!! This game has a special place in my heart.
I was only 4 when this game out. Any chance you know if this was made in connection with one of the movies?
@@therelaxedrealist9066 To my knowledge, they were completely unrelated.
49:13 Had me dying that was so unlucky
I'm definitely not watching a movie tonight... This is what I preach.
That jump scare noise that you thought was a bird is actually the noise of a bullfrog
AT 3:36 CHARLIE AND BILBO STRETCH AT THE SAME TIME
fun to see the speed run practicing and then you running them. great content
I love seeing charlie genuinely happy when im in these streams, it's super wholesome
Dormammu I’ve come to bargain when he got stuck in the mine cart loop was the funniest shit
I can't believe that the hobbit has 50 players interested in speedrunning it.
that frog jumpscared the hell out of me
I’ve been waiting for the hobbit speed run for so long
Watching Charlie speed run is like watching jesus turn water into wine
Top 50 but always number 1 in our hearts.
id fucking LOVE to see more of this. i dont watch the streams often so i dont actually know what hes been playing but i'd also love to see more elden ring speedruns ofc, charlie + elden ring is just sooooo fcking good together like piss and orange juice its so fucking nice to watch.
but yeah this game is really fucking enjoyable as a game to run, has the magic of majoras mask and oot n64 era game runs. those games all have the best fucking routes and glitches/strats theyre so nice for running
I would love to see more of this this route is really interesting
I love the way you edited this

@@imtimon TH-cam only ever removes features, you think they’re gonna add a new feature? And one that helps people…. LOL

I love how he went over how crazy the speed runs are for this game, then tried to speed run elden ring, then went back to the Hobbit.
Honestly, in my eyes, Charlie is in the Top 3’s for always being a chad gamer and having the skills for one.

This is wild I just rewatched his reaction to the hobbit speedrun saga a couple days ago.
as a kid I remember finding a "wiggle clip" on Spyro ps2 , but I found it under water so I could pretty much fly around the whole map
My favorite TH-camr and Hobbit game in one video
I loved this game as a kid I played it so much on PC. I tried streaming it again recently but it handcrashed in the mine level.
Completely cracked at hobbiting.
charlie's arc with this game is quite something
Hobbit speed runs are going to be the new way to elect a president in the future
This is giving me flashbacks! Got gifted this game when I was like 10 years old for some reason 🤷🏼♀️
Whoever gave you that, they blessed you with a great gift!

My favorite speed run series
This genuinely looks like a fun dose of nostalgia
The confidence in this video makes me feel like a can fight a polar bear
Dam I remember playing this game on my PS2 when I got it for Christmas in 03. I got stuck in the forest level to ever when I couldn't find a cup.
What a blast from the past I remember playing this game when it first came out
I’ve been waiting for this since he saw the documentary, can’t believe I didn’t catch the stream
While you may only be top 50 in speed running, you are top 1 in being an absolute goat
"Dormammu I've come to bargain" 😂😂🤣
The intensity of the gameplay..
Genuinely surprised he's not done runs on portal, at least from what I've seen

Nothing can beat Charlie in gaming
Except cockroaches
Lol u pick the goofiest games to speed run like spongeglock and the mr krabs on ketamine I love it
I just enjoyed this video because the character and him both stretched at the same exact time.
Speedrunning Journey on unpatched PS3 is super fun. Would recommend.
The mad man actually picked the game up. What a legend.
Where’s your White Simba slapfight video, man’s a legend already
This is great, but i also really want to see a casual playtrough, it is totally worth the time
Once youve started speed running a game, you can't go back to play it properly--it just don't feel right, its like being a drug addict
