You'd be surprised what a dedicated fanbase can do. Sailor Moon S, a super broken, super obscure Japan-only SNES fighting game got brought to the state by one single guy that liked the game a little too much. Now it's one of the most beloved meme game of the FGC.
I don't hate on anyone that does speed runs for any game but sometimes with these random ass games and how much time they put into finding exploits and glitches just boggles my mind. I find it quite ridiculous tbh but that's because I love taking my time with games.
@BAM! It's easy to say that when Cr1t basically spoiled it right at the beginning which primed you to look for it. When you just watch the video on its own for the first time it's not so obvious
@@sneezewax3567 they did the right thing though. I take back what I said, TH-cam did the perfect move and made a huge impact to the TH-cam users. TH-cam devs are absolute chads! Merry Christmas tho
So insanely glad to see this amazing speedgame getting the attention it deserves! I've poured a lot of time and dedication into this game over the last 7 years and I'm ecstatic seeing our story spreading the way it is. Edit: Yes, I am The Guy.
So one cool thing about our favorite guy Julius Caesar is that we have documentation that he himself authored about his own rule and conquest as a leader in the Roman Empire. But what's funny is, he took into account the idea that his writing would exist long after he's gone; so, he wrote in third person. "Caesar did this, Caesar did this *because*..." and that's actually pretty cool to get the man's personal account of his own actions. Given the way MKarma structured his video, one could make the case that what he did makes him a modern Caesar.
I cannot express enough how positively weird it feels to see one of my favorite big TH-cam creators react to a video from a guy I've subbed since around 400 subs that is about a game I've played during my childhood that I believed would never reach any form of recognition outside its humble fanbase. Truly a fever dream I welcome with open arms.
It’s hilarious how that guy wanted Charlie to watch the extra hour and a half of the video at 3am, he really must have thought Charlie doesn’t need sleep
@@dat_berserk_gamer445__7 if I were to bet it’s probably more accurate to the book than Peter Jackson’s version since this game was based off the really old animated movies
Lol I remember buying Lego movie game for my PS2, the cover says Lego movie game but the content inside is this game instead. But the game is still fun tho.

I played this game on Gamecube. I remember it fondly as a fun little adventure game with a lot of heart. There are a variety of challenges from platforming to puzzles, the soundtrack absolutely slaps, and I enjoyed the cartoony art style.
I love how the actual community could've been a total of like 6 dudes, and the yet the video paints it as one of the greatest and most speedran games ever. You could do this for almost any game with as many as 6 or so runners and it'd get recommended to me to watch with upwards of 500k views
Wow, sucks to see all the spam bots in your replies. I'll be sure to report them all. Also, that's really sweet! Something about old video games being a part of our childhoods.... it brings so much nostalgia.
It's weird how I have that same memory implemented in me.. But just a different game, a Lego game of you will and I'd play it while my parents were asleep
That 2 1/2 hour hobbit speedrun video is honestly super good. It popped up in my recommended when it came out and it got me back into watching speedruns.
I remember playing this and I remember Charlie watching and I was like oh my god no way there's like this dedicated of a community this is such a beautiful thing
I wasn't looking at the video and just had Charlie talking as background noise while I was getting dressed to go to work and when I listened to "THAT WAS PROGRAMED BY STEVE JOBS HIMSEEEEELF" I lost it LMAO
I cant believe one of my favorite games on the PS2 is getting this attention. It feels like validation cuz i've been singing The Hobbit's praises for so long now. Thanks for bringing attention to it, Charlie!
I played The Hobbit when I was younger, got to a point where I had 3 coloured pots or something and I thoguht you had to pick them up in the order you need to place them and I didn't realise you could select which pot to place
You see, Penguinz scares me. He’s a guy who I never want to mess with. His roasts, are legendary. He can tear literally anyone to pieces. He’s like the Utree of the gaming world.
But Irule did actually change his username over time... Irule now went by... Mkarma. This was literally the most elaborate and surprising plot twist I'v ever experienced in my life.
As a guy who not only played this game as a kid, but still still has the working copy to this day, thank you for bringing attention to this gem of a game.
Merry Christmas Charlie! I have had to deal with a rough year and having your videos to laugh too has kept me in good spirits thanks for your content !
I also stumbled upon this speedrun video and thought it was one of the best gaming videos on TH-cam. The plot twist, the "drama", the cool skips. Its pretty sic
if this is one of the most interesting video you’ve ever seen charlie then you clearly haven’t watched the instant classic “Super Donkey Kong Shake” directed by videogamedunkey, it is truly a cinematic masterpiece
your comment doesnt make sense because he said 'one of the most' not 'the most' so its possible that he's seen more videos which are just as if not more interesting
Seein Charlie upload literally makes me day , I work night shifts 8-8 am there comes a point in the night where I can just sit n watch stream / TH-cam for a few hours to pass time
I was so invested in this and you as always had me laughing the whole way. Been watching you since call of duty wm2 days. Thanks for all the years of giving me an outlet for forgetting my problems for a few videos of my day Charlie
I love the idea that everyone only subscribes to obscure Gamecube The Hobbit speedrunners. So the moment they check their subscription box they're like OH FUCK!
i loved this game so much. i was so sad when my copy for the gamecube got scratched and i still think about the memories ive made playing this game when i was a kid
I used to play this game as a kid and it was genuinely awesome at the time. It was kinda difficult at the time too. Never expected to see a video here about it. So many flashbacks lmao
You should also check out the Battle for Bakini Bottom History of Speedrunning video. Speed runners are quite passionate about the games they play and it shows.
I streamed this last year. It's not too bad. Not that difficult to setup either. That's not its own dedicated speedrun website btw. It's a page for it on speedrun site. Just like anyone can make a reddit page. But speedrun site owns the page, not the person uploading to it/who made the page there.
video game speedrunning is full of literal scientists and engineers. They study the game world, enact experiments and extrapolate their findings to create science-backed strategies. There is no substantive difference between science and engineering in the real world, and in the video game worlds of speedruns
I played this game as a kid with my mom, during one of the missions we got a save point right as i died to a spider, basically soft locking my game entirely. We gave up after that. Sucks, cuz I really liked the game. But being a kid at the time I didn’t have it in me to restart.

I watched this a few weeks ago while at work, and the plot twist really had me goin for a bit. But it's funny how you called it... a bit. 10/10 video
I was just playing this game on my PS2 a month ago. Such a great game
Honestly have to respect speedrunners who hype-focus and dedicate themselves to one single game. I could never.
I streamed this last year. It's not too bad. Not that difficult to setup either.
That's not its own dedicated speedrun website btw. It's a page for it on speedrun site. Just like anyone can make a reddit page. But speedrun site owns the page, not the person uploading to it/who made the page there.
it's so interesting how some people just take the most obscure hobby and dedicate a large chunk of their life to it
