The old Nintendo website from the late 90's is insane. Go check it out on the wayback!
The GBA era website is pretty cool too
can't believe it, and I thought you were exaggerating in your video title...
great video! 🙂
i use War Thunder to Leak Classified material whenever i get bored lol
bro I understand that those ads are part of content creation to actually earn some extra money, but I fucking hate them with all my power. I bought RUclips premium just because I didn't want to watch ads and here it is.. ads again. In every single video.
@@janetenuto6092embedded ads like Patreon, Kofi or sponsored content are obviously not removed by RUclips Premium or Twitch Prime, so that's a non issue.
The level was actually beaten in 31 seconds by Billy Mitchell.
Todd Rogers did it in 25 by starting in second gear.
Billy Mitchell actually beat it in 24 seconds in 1995 on the SNES.
@@TexasAmericana That's the oldest record that's recorded. I was there 3000 years ago when Billy Mitchel did it in 15 seconds. He was in his prime then. It was fucking wild. ;)
@@Hellbane224 😂😆😂😆😂😆 the man is a true legend.
@@superscatboyWho is Todd Rodgers, do you mean Todd Todgers?
Wow, Silly Bitchell managed to not be a nuisance long enough for Karl to make a new speedrunning video. Nice!
He is probably busy suing other people.
He delayed the trial until January of next year, so yeah. He's squirming as much as possible because he knows he's fucked lmao
He’s most likely going to make up more bs and make more fake evidence to try and legitimise himself but we all know that’s not possible he’s dug himself in to deep a hole
That guy seems so silly that I've never even watched one of those videos.
😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Doctor Doak delivers the door decoder deligently despite different destination directions due to dastardly deeds during design of the game.
During designers' decisions distracting.
If the odds for encountering the doctor are doubled and everyone's freaking out about it, then that's what I call a Doaki Doaki Panic
Yes...no...wait yes
🎉
Booooooo!
...Well played sir
That's no ordinary pun, that's a Gamer Dad Joke.
6:15 The double - Bodyarmor. Two quick ones. I already know I am getting there on the perfect line. LOOK AT THE F****** PACE
came to the comments looking for this and i'm so glad someone mentioned it
The video on Nintendo's website said:
"It's a 3 MB file! So if you can't wait; we provided a step-by-step of how he did it!"
And just like that; I feel old. I remember when 3MB was 'big'. x.x
More than two 1.44MB floppies worth
It's even crazier.
Nowadays, "56K" and "dialup" are basically synonymous to those who don't know, but in 1998 56k was brand new and almost nobody had it - and if you *did* have it, you almost certainly didn't get the full 56k.
Most people would've still had 33.6 or 28.8 which was even slower, and there were even still some people with 14.4. Downloading a 3MB file at 14.4 would take almost an hour - ironic for a speedrun video.
I remember when everygame had a "Big head" mode. Woulda been great if you could just give that trait to oddjob.
I remember having a 56k dial up and downloading Insaniquarium, a 2004 era game, and waiting for hours in front of my single core netbook. It was a 11 MB game...
The first time I ever played Golden Eye, my cousin and I rented it from Blockbuster. My cousin played first. We were doing the arctic level. Came upon the first guard. My cousin lines up a shot and fires his first round. Hits the guard in the crotch. There's an audible "GUK!" What a way to start.
Lol medal of honor used to track where you bullets hit and show it at the end of the level. Once my cousin and I realized this we became determined to beat the levels with the highest number of crotch shots. The devs really knew their audience back then lol.
@@huuuuuumpy I did that too
I still remember getting 007 and mariokart with the N64 as a package deal for Christmas. Your story made me remember the first few moments playing. Good stuff
@@huuuuuumpy the original MoH on windows xp.. the good ol' days.. and LAN parties
I convinced my brother to rent Armorines instead of 007... he never let me forget how I ruined his life.
It's always funny, and slightly annoying, to me whenever I hear about these ancient strategies turning out to be as good, if not better, than the tried and true ones. Just knowing that so many hours and so much annoyance at restarting due to RNG could have been partially avoided if people just didn't clutch onto the status quo so much and tried something new.
The decision-making process is very shortsighted at the best of times. It needs to be thoroughly convinced (like by the results of others) before it will make leeway for giving up the investment in mastering a pattern. People are hardwired to be skeptic and resistant to change as we tend to prefer a mediocre status quo over a risky improvement.
Its always interesting when its a language barrier thing, like "Hey, this dude in posted a run with a barrier skip on billibilli 5 years ago and EVRYONE overlooked it because how would you even find it"
@@dopaminecloud That is not what being a skeptic means but I get your point.
@@RanEncounter Get a dictionary.
@@dopaminecloud Nice projection!
Man, 50 seconds. I was so proud of myself when I got the invincibility cheat, I had never grinded anything so hard at that point. That people can go over twice as fast is a bit mind blowing.
I think I got that one way too easily, because I never recalled that as being anywhere near the hardest... but I do realize how many times I must've done it by recalling all those spawn locations decades later.
So many other ones I never unlocked in that game, and that one isn't in my mind as the tough one to beat.
Funny how much luck comes into play, I guess.
It took a damn while to get this one.
Hardest cheat for me was the train level one.. until I found out you could shoot Natalia at the end and it would give you extra time..
I got paid to get this cheat back in high school. I charged $5 to get this cheat and $2 for any other ones. Fun times.
@@stevebirk6399 Nice anecdote. I had a couple of people give me their games to take it home to get all of their cheats. Fun times here too.
"It's a 3 MB file, so if you can't wait..." oh man I love looking at old websites so much
Also thanks for cementing "Keith" as a legend by labelling his speedrun like you do everyone else ❤
I really liked that little touch :)
It’s gonna be hilarious in 20 years when we look back at 80 gig game updates or whatever and think the same exact shit 🤣
Karl Jobst + 007 video = instant click😃
Bro have a "Billy Mitchell" as patron 💀
Noticed that too. Honestly, the idea of a patron donating to one of Billy Mitchell’s most vocal critics in his name is a such a hilarious and great way to troll Silly Bitchell!
I just want to point out how good you are at telling a story. You don't just sit there and blandly state that a record was broken, you weave a compelling narrative that includes the history of the strats and people involved. It's why I love watching your videos and why your speedrunning content is the best on RUclips.
even if he's monotone as all heck, yes.
6:15 Never thought I’d see the day Karl references Streets 1:12 in a RUclips video
I remember Goose did a video on timesaves in GoldenEye a couple of years ago and this was actually one of the strategies he covered. He even said back then that the lure could be about the same time as the previous strategy and that it was more consistent because of the Doak odds but he also said that no one had really bothered to try it. Pretty surreal that it took another two years after he mentioned it for someone to try it.
Karl I've been following you since the early 2000's. Since the "skip Jaws, glass door trick" strategy was found in Aztec. It never ceases to amaze me on how the community can come together to find new ways to shave off seconds of time. Thank you for posting this video.
Geez, a record that took 6 YEARS to make... matched a week after a viable "new" strat was found. Kudos to Clemens, but man, that's gotta sting for Isran.
It's always great to see good news in the speedrunning community. Thanks as always for being an Absolute Legend highlighting the ups, not just the downs
Although a true statement to be fair 2 champions of the game looked closer into "why and what made that shooting lure more viable to be used in an actual speedrun" - It was discussed between myself and a few others Illu and David C Ryan Isran some through twitch messages / some discussion also on the forums - Ryan DID play out the SECOND Alternate shooting lure with a 53 however I think lost a potential high 51 - He did that on another shooting lure that WASNT this video above that Karl is showing - Illu made sense of the video shown and found out the best radius the guard can "hear" our shooting from which happened to be a "closer" area INSTEAD of another .5+ to the back corner of the labs - The lure back then in 2007 even later when talked about or found through speed lore didnt really dive into better strats per say - Better strat refinement made the lure not only better however enough time gain to make sense to do over the long OG mainline - Today speaking your average gamer is still better off doing the "OG mainline" we can call it now as the new shooting lure isnt for the faint of heart which everything requires to be done JUST right to save that .5-.8 seconds....its really tight however makes that 51 or 52 or 53 that youre going for that much easier if executed properly
Being called a legend by Carl always makes my day
Pronounce extra this time
you absolute LEGEND
you are not a legend
You are an **ABSOLUTE LEGEND**
Same
"have you unlocked invincibility" sounds like it could make a great meme lol.
"I have slayed dragons, obliterated hell, and punched a god in the nuts!"
"Yes, but have you unlocked invincibility?"
"Wha...?"
Invincibility and dk mode= you are now a god
Looks like a good punchline for a joke.
sounds like an annoying reddit meme, like "erm wholsome 100" typa shit
Questions to ask on your first date
Was my FAVORITE LEVEL when I was a little kid.
I guarantee that I shot the DR every. single. time. I didn't understand all of the missions back then. :P
Love when Karl talks about GoldenEye. Since he's so familiar with the game, it's always so well explained.
I will never be as good or as fast as I was at this game with the n64 controller. It was a golden console for a golden time. We were little kids sitting at home speed running for achievements before we even had internet access. We were checking magazines for tips and times... great moment in history.
I remember buying chapter books that had GameShark codes lol! Along with strategy guides were the only books I was interested in haha!
The 64 has some good times, but the controller ain't one of em.
It's a good controller. The centralised trigger and stick I appreciated for GoldenEye
@@1stCallipostleI know it's a meme but I genuinely loved the N64 controller.
@@1stCallipostleNintendo has quite the history of making awkward, yet comfortable, controllers
This is why I'm a big proponent of running on your own and coming up with your own routing and strategies before diving into existing speedrun routes and strats. No only do you gain a better understanding of the level/game this way, but you also never know when you might come up with something that seems perfectly sensible to try but has not yet occurred to the community at large (or worse, was tried and prematurely discounted as not viable).
Yeah there are a few stages left I think like this in the game unfortunately - Theres a Bunker 2 Agent strat or B2AROG meaning reverse OG mainline - There was also a shooting lure at the time on the reverse route however others are saying its non beneficial...not sure its been tested though on the proper cut scenes even though some say they've "tested" it all with no avail...the reverse mainline on B2A was pretty close to the mainline now thats not reverse (time wise) - I dont think it would beat the WR the B2AROG line however it has high chances to tie in my opinion...
Goes to show that old strats deserve another look
Having somehow never seen a Facility 00 speedrun before, I thought "hey, using a remote mine to clear the room with the terminal is a pretty good idea"
Then realizing that exact strat was featured in an official demo from Nintendo back in the day is really funny. That video would have taken me weeks to download with my internet connection back then.
I think streets is the most iconic and memorable level thanks to Ryan Lockwood
Thanks to someone no one has heard of
@@DenkyManner if you've heard of streets 1:12, you've heard of ryan lockwood. and mark rutzou. because it was a mr / rl time.
It bothers me this was my strategy for years in getting the cheat unlocked for others reliably (I used to make cash unlocking all cheats for others in the late 90s!)
I knew it was safer but never imagined it was actually faster 😮
I got everything but invincibility so my friend did it for me and I was never the same 😂😂😂
That is the most 90s gamer way to make money.
@@JustWowNick Kinda.. the DODGY way was to have a CD Burner and Mod Chip service and pirate kents' Playstation games for them.
@@JustWowNick My story of money and video games from the 90s is getting to the end of the Gameboy Metroid II game and not being able to beat the final boss.
I tried so many different strategies, and nothing was working. When my friend -- who had never played the game -- saw me struggling with it, he jokingly said he could beat the boss for me. I had tried so hard, that I said if he could beat the boss, I'd give him $5.00! I hand him the Gameboy and he proceeds to tap the missile button a whole lot... and the boss died. Wtf!?
I gave him the $5.
Throughout the game the bosses got steadily more and more difficult, requiring more precision jumping and shooting. So it was really unexpected that the strategy for the final boss is to literally to not jump or move, and just tap your missile button lots, let the boss to come to you...
lol never thought of making money that way but makes sense
I love that the official Nintendo guide for getting the time mentions the need for possible resets depending on Dr Doak's spawn location.
It somehow gives reset meta a kind of respected mythical history that the creators/forefathers have passed down to the next generation (being speedrunners and gamers).
Luring with shots is the kind of strategy I would expect in a Hitman or Metal Gear Solid game.
I don't know how familiar you are with current Hitman WoA speedruns, but luring with shots is incredibly useful in many ways. There's the obvious usage of distraction shots. There's the implementation of firing at guards three times to either A) move them out of the way so you can get by, or B) having the guard NPC come towards you since they are your target.
There's also a more recent strat found on Hokkaido. On that particular level, some doors can only be opened if you are wearing particular outfits. If you lure an NPC with such an outfit to a door, 47 will be able to open it.
@@danielyoungblood3931 Oh, I know of these. Way back into 2016 with HITMAN's release, I watched speedrunners like Frote, Mendi and GuLe or CJ perform these ones. Normally the ones of us in Hitman Forum would be of the first to watch their performances!
always nice to see new goldeneye strats. i've long wondered if something new would be discovered for control. i remember realizing as a kid that the second story balcony overlooking natalia is within the radius that she still works on the satelite and that all enemies that attack natalia spawn on the third floor and climb down the stairs at the center (then either move left, right, or down). whether enemies attack natalia or bond are also identifiable by their hat color (i believe black attack bond, red/blue attack natalia). so you can just stand on the balcony facing away from natalia and pretty safely fire at the center stairway. some guards spawn to your left and right, but they all attack you not her. the problem is getting to the balcony requires moving outside the radius she'll work on the satelite and potentially doesn't set you up as well for getting to the level exit once she finishes. but this strategy still seemed way safer for full run games and had some merit for casual play that i was always surprised no one talked about (plus the pile of guns lying in one area after the protect sequence ends is very satisfying to pick up).
Wow, this seems like a great strategy! Control is one of the few levels (along with Cradle and Aztec) I could never beat on 00 Agent.
What does " the problem is getting to the balcony requires moving outside the radius she'll work on the satelite" mean, in effect?
@@drunyon214 If I had to guess it means if Bond moves too far away from Natalia, her script will stop and she'll stop doing what she's supposed to until you get back close enough for it to resume. Probably something to do with hardware limitations built into the game that stop processes running further away from the player to spare system resources and allow the game to actually run. Likely the devs never intended for the player to leave Natalia in that section, so they didn't program an exception for her script to keep working while you're out of the usual range for NPCs. Remember the average mid-range smartphone today has several orders of magnitude more processing power than the strongest gaming console then, only powerful industrial computers even came close to a modern smartphone. Both The Matrix and The Phantom Menace were released in 1999, two years after Goldeneye, and that was the peak of CGI back then, taking weeks to months of processing for each scene to be spit out of custom-made computers.
I remember getting to this, having all other cheats unlocked, and realizing that it was just going to be grinding rng rolls. Put Goldeneye down after that and never really tiuched it again, best time was 2:06. Congrats if you put the hours in.
I had the Invincibility cheat back in the day, and hadn't thought about that grind for years. Good times!
It was great, and nostalgic, running across this video! That was actually my video for Facility back when I worked for Nintendo in the 90s! Thanks for the prop's Karl
I kinda wish there was a Karl video where the thing everyone said was bad (but one person said was good) actually just turned out to be bad.
Oh wait, that series does exist. How silly of me cough cough 🇺🇸👔
A real Parker Square method eh?
@@zeikjt idk I always assumed it was a clip on
I wonder just how many goldeneye speedrunners would have dreams where they'd be in their house/apartment peeking around a corner and seeing Dr. Doak. :)
I literally just thought how cool it would be to get another Karl Jobst video. Thanks!
There's even a SECONDARY shooting lure that I brought up several months back on the forums which is on RI 's back up RUclips page where he gets 53 HIS FIRST attempt on SA (well he didnt show the end time and suggested it was 53...) This 53 of his was done with a bad trev as well as going too far in 2 spots..(the lure spot and the return to doak area) - Now having the Bad Trev (BT) is probably losing .8 itself so that brings in 52 as I timed his 53 at 53.34 ..then his 2 other blemishes going too far in each spot may have gotten a high 51 as the rest of the run looked optimal/ideal - This SECONDARY SHOOTING LURE probably is as good/fast as the old route time wise however falls about .5 seconds short from Illu's found mainline shooting lure (which puts it about equal to the OG mainline) ...thats unless this secondary lure somehow becomes more optimized from the few attempts that have been run as RI literally got a low 53 his FIRST ATTEMPT at trying with the SECOND shooting lure (which is a totally different shooting lure than the new Illu found shooting lure) - Lastly this second shooting lure though is ONLY good for the BEST DOAK LOCATION and DOESNT encompass double doak odds which the other shooting lure does ....
Paragraphs, please, for the love of all that is holy.
I love your Goldeneye content. I am around your age and played this game A LOT back in the day!
This should be a fun watch, I remember speedrunning this when it first came out to get all the cheat codes
I absolutely have to agree with the video quality back then having a sort of "vibe". I lived in a rural area, and our internet connection was horrendous. Even a 3MB video would take multiple minutes to download. Not to mention, ever connection was metered back then, so you would have to ask for permission before downloading "such large files". And then you would rewatch this choppy, low-resolution clip over and over and over to learn all the secrets you can. It was truly a magical time.
Karl you are like nationality geographical content but for what I really want to see
I can't express how much respect i have for the dedication of speedrunners.
I tried it a few times and already gave up after 1-2 hours because it was too tedious.
And then there are people who play the same 50-60 second level for fucking 6 years(!!)...this is pure insanity, but i bow before these people. Of course not only before Ryan Isran (i hope i got the name right) but before every sincere speedrunner who played a level/game for hundreds or thousands times ❤
Hey Carl, I love when you give the history of how times have evolved over the years. I'd love to see in your videos more details on how say the level progressed from right back at game release...
Ie. first to crack x, then x, then x.
*karl
I had the FIRST VIDEO World Record for goldeneye on THIS specific level Facility OOA @1:04 in 1998 - Was able to lower it using only the 1.1 control style to just about 1:00 before retiring from speedrunning - The game testers had 1:25 in 1998 who thought my video was fake and "IMPOSSIBLE" yet here we are in 2023 and were talking about possibly :50 which I think is possible on SA anyways
Check out the Speedlore series from Goose (another Goldeneye runner). It's exactly what you're looking for. He's been doing them for years and has covered every level on every difficulty at this point. He starts with the very first known world record for a level and then slowly works all the way up to the current world record, showing videos of the runs and explaining the different strategies and how they have evolved over the years.
Most of his recent Speedlores have been about DLTK (a different category of speedrun) and other stuff, so you may have to go back a year or two to find the full level Speedlores. Some of them are getting a little outdated as new strats have been found since then, but it's a good place to start if you want to learn the history of Goldeneye's levels.
Great video! I can't wait for another Mitchell video. I know the trial should be close to starting or already has
I literally started playing goldeneye yesterday and thought, I wonder if Karl has posted any new videos about it recently, and needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
I used to try getting enemies in Wolfenstein 3D to open locked doors so I didn't to go all around the level to get the gold and silver keys. In fact in episode 6, floor 3, it was an officer that opened up the locked door near the beginning allowing me to practically speedrun the floor going straight to the secret level. That is the closest to lure strategy you get.
man, this is just fucking awesome. just the idea of a decade old strat that was written off as being not worth anyone's time making a sudden resurgence and becoming best strat available. something about that just appeals so much to my monkey brain. honestly this video made my day, I'm just so filled with hope and excitement to see how much the time for this level will improve
I love your goldeneye videos I wish you could do them more often, this was an awesome video. I've been playing Goldeneye since my childhood and this discovery is mind blowing
This takes me back. I remember you Karl from the old days on the perfect dark elite boards. I was an active member for a time on those boards and was an active player in the pd elite rankings (never that great...but I believe I reached 30th or so at one point). It's neat to see you have grown into this amazing channel. It sure takes me back in time. All I did was grind PD and a little bit of goldeneye too. I remember when the boards were on fire when the 3 second glitch was discovered for the first level lol. Crazy times. Anyway, props to you and all this great content.
P.s. while I don't speed run anymore...my newest vice is rocket league. The skill ceiling is unmeasurable and unlimited. Never experienced anything like it
it always makes me happy to see a karl video once i feel a bit down. thank you for the time

Its clearly a level.
@@ericmcmullen6254 One of the levels of all time for sure

What kid?
I don't think it's a level. It's just a really long, playable cut scene.
Refreshing and seeing a new jobst vid is like coming down on Christmas morning.
What an affirming video this is. I was never a speed runner, but I remember watching that exact video at a friend's house and basically repeating the same run for what seemed like an eternity to try and get that cheat. I don't think I've ever experienced a bigger rush in years of gaming than when the red text appeared on the finishing screen.
While the speedrunning community is known for thinking outside the box, they're still a collection of humans with ingrained notions of how things work and will parrot each other until someone "important" can prove an alternate path is just as viable as the accepted one. You see it everywhere.
Yeah, It's like that in every community and field pretty much.
Casuals: the game is too optimized there's no way to find better strats
Real players: find already uncovered strategy and optimize it to be better
Extra casual: L, R, up, down
This right here - Love it
I was born in 2001 but played this game all the time at our camper since we only had an N64 there. So nostalgic for me to watch these speedrun videos and so neat to delve into a community I didn’t even know existed years ago when I played the game constantly.
I remember looking at the world record videos for Goldeneye back in the day. Saw so many amazing times by so many people and never understood how they were so good and then realized you had to strafe and that still didn't make me be able to come close but at least I was able to unlock all the cheats.
Karl always does an amazing job
ive never played a second of goldeneye but every time Karl does a video on it I'm entranced
Nice video and summary! Two things come to mind: the door lure strategy is used in some DooM maps, fun to see it working in other games too. The bit about getting emotional over a strat being replaced…I feel the same when Super Mario 35 was discontinued, and when CSGO was changed to CS2. Change can be difficult to deal with, especially when it’s forced on you.
I friggin love GoldenEye. I was in highschool when this came out and now one of my kids is in the same grade as I was in highschool. I'm so happy that older games are still played. It really is a gift to know that younger people are still awesome and appreciate awesome games.
Hey, Karl. Thanks for the amazing content you make. You are the Absolute Legend.
Is it just me or does Karl sound really sarcastic when he calls us legends? 😂😭
I agree! Such amazing content, love the narration and effort put into these videos that essentially capture moments in history
Nice video.
Wooooo Karrlllll - it's always a treat seeing a new video pop into my alerts!! Also, F Billy Mitchell. Also, you're all a bunch of goddamn LEGENDSSSSS
6:55 that start was so contervesial at the time.
Just goes to show that you can never pass or dismiss a strategy as viable until you've truly pushed it to its limit.
Thanks for the vid, you absolute legend!
Gotta love a good Goldeneye video.
It was great that they included these time based unlocks in the game.
Took me quite a lot of swearing to get the facility and train times back in the day.
Facility was definitely hard but I think Caverns 00A was also a hard cheat for me to unlock. The target time was like 9:30 but the level was very long and full of guards with AR-33s which meant that you could only get hit a few times before dying. Multiple times I missed it by a few seconds and finally squeaked by with only a few seconds to spare.
My grandfather was a B17 tail-gunner in ww2 and he passed away this week. RIP Corporal E.T. Flood and bless you for your service.
🗣️ KEEP NERDING OUT YOUR GOLDENEYE KNOWLEDGE 🔥🔥 WE LOVE IT
6:16 this is so cheeky I love it 🤣
I played this recently. Now I’ve got to play it again. Thx!!!
I do find that these speed running communities often have an "inner circle" of top runners that like to gatekeep the optimal route they've practiced a bajillion times over and are usually very hesitant in trying new ideas.
Really interesting to see this crop up a few times before finally being accepted and optimised.
SUPER COOL! one of my all time favorite games; i was very good at this game when i was a kid. love it exciting to see it in the limelight again,. i'll have to keep my eye out for that 50s facility run
Great video. So interesting. Love the work you put in. Legend of a game and a legend of a man. Thanks!
7:31 Well this explains why the door would seem to just magically open without the decoder sometimes. Because when I was a kid I thought even then how hilarious it was that everything explodes in that game, so I'd go around shooting everything, including the stuff in that room that lures the guard
Saw karl's head pop up in my sub feed and was stoked to hear about new speed running strategies, even though I have never sped run anything except to the bathroom.
1:11 oh my word I remember watching that video and thinking damn this is high-quality
Hey Karl, you should cover binding of Issac! I bet the amount of stuff to do, number of characters and items in that game make its speed running incredibly rich and diverse
Love your videos! Always a well told and rich story, thank you!
The history of this game me so much nostalgia. I remember people talking about this cheat back in the day, and even I knew about the OG process, to get it, keep making quality content you Legend.
I have been watching Your videos for years. There are like 3 channels that I care about, and when I see a new video posted, I legit get excited.
Your videos are to relevant to my childhood
I have never played GoldenEye, but vids from Karl bout this game r my fav. Remember when I used to watch first few vids about GoldenEye from Karl when he got like maybe 6k subs or somethin. I was there
06:16 oh you silly goose you, I see what you did there! And I LOVE IT!
Love when you do goldeneye content
I used ths method growing up, and also just running down the hall towards the locked door shooting, without going in the room. That would sometimes do it.
Oh man i was just watching Calle_W's stream (he came back!) talking about the new strat - you're an absolute legend Karl, now I understand it fully!
Man, I love your vids. All the best!!!!
the music you choose for your videos always hits me in the feels
Great content, always love your video drops.
Great vid Karl!
I love the Nintendo 64 and Golden Eye 007 is one of my favorite games. I love watching speed runs and Golden Eye speed runs are fun and interesting. This is the end of an era and the start of something new and I love that gamers still find new ways to play and win in Golden Eye 007. Cool video. ^_^
1:08 you took me back to 2006 when I started playing in the laundry after school
That video from the official site was the first video I ever downloaded. I think I had to download quicktime too.
Get on it Karl: Start doing runs
"the file is 3mb, so if you can't wait, we provided a step-by-step description" ...haha, 3mb were so big back at the time!
Karl's vids are one of the only cases where I'll set playback speed to normal just to savor the experience.
50 seconds is insane. I remember grinding this in early 2000's and getting 2:02, feeling like a god. It really was the defining level/difficulty in Goldeneye - after this you felt everything was achievable. Thankfully I still have my original Goldeneye cartridge and N64 from the day :)
Absolutely love your goldeneye videos
I don't know why the word "Double Doak Odds" cracks me up so much.
