- When I started this project I had no idea it would be the most difficult challenge I've ever done in Trackmania, but after over 120 hours - I finally managed to do it! This is the story of how I beat TMNF blindfolded.

"I hit a tree and broke it"
"Mate this is e04"
"Oh. Oh yeah youre right."
And you can't break trees on any other track, either :D
I was watching the stream that night. It was, no joking, like watching someone starting to develop dementia. He was apathetic, wandering, delirious. He pushed it too far that day.
@@flashpeter625 I had that one time while driving home at night, after a 13 hour work day. There where suddenly (no kidding) pink elephant on the highway, wich scared the shit out of me. that was my signal to pull over and go to sleep for an hour. I'm realy glad i didn't die that night. but it tought me to respect tiredness!

Lol so true, same exact reaction
To be fair, the Black series (aka E01 to E05) are the hardest 5 tracks in the game, so, that's not surprising.
Bro when Wirtual was on the last track and i saw 7 minutes of video left..
Imagine going into a stream just to see a blind folded guy get so excited of an upside down car driving in the grass
for some reason i felt sad at that part, he was so happy when he thought that

That one moment when you think something like this lol
That sleep was either the most haunting night this man has ever had in his life or his deepest slumber. Likely a mixture of both.
Sleep is like a reset button for your brain, it's the best thing he could've done in that situation.
I'll never forget Freddie Mercury's timeless line:
"Mamaaaaa, three, four, five."

The statement “I can do this eyes closed” has a whole different meaning now

To be frank, I have never played track mania but am loyally devoted to this channel due to this mans flawless story telling. You make me care about the breaking of personal time records for a game I normally would never show interest in. Keep at it Wirtual!
Same for me. This man is a true master of story telling and truly captivating. At first, you think it's about a racing game, but ultimately, it's really about much much more.
@@ruferd I completely agree.
never played the game, i discovered wirtual's channel with youtube recommendations, and this guy has an awesome storytelling, he is a f*cking legend, he can make ppl who don't even play the game to like these videos
I'm installing the game right now and a couple of months ago, before watching this channel, never even heard of it.
Same, I thought I was the only was but obviously I was wrong
The gifted sub or whatever under Wirtual at 43:16 translate from French too "Are you insane or what". Fitting
I’ve seen a few comments saying “well you used alternate routes to make it easier so it doesn’t count” and I just want to say: Some of these tracks can be difficult even without a blindfold. So until you’ve beaten trackmania, with a blindfold, without using alternate routes, I don’t wanna freaking hear any complaining.
if you say runs that don't take the original route don't count, trackmania without te ability to shortcut would be so so boring. it's part of the game.
@@jorishenger1240 these are probably the same people who thought bugsliding was cheating
@@dsdy1205 Or using wall to gain momentum and thus more speed.
@@jorishenger1240 agreed, taking shortcuts is a valid thing to do in speedruns/wr attempts in many games, especially trackmania
When the game registers you starting and finishing a level, it counts. Otherwise, alot of world records wouldn't count in that mind
Wirtual: "One of my all time gaming memories"
Wirtual's fav memory: *black screen*
like when you die that you watch all your life passing in front of you. and wirtual has 125 hours of nothingness
Impressive right?
I don't know how he did that. I would have literally gone insane after the first 10 hours and just started crying :(
"favorite memory : shovel"
That made me giggle, thank you :)
E04 allucinations at 4 am are something I will not forget
33:04 song name is "Tale of a Cruel World" by DM Dokuro. It is the menu theme of the Calamity mod for Terraria. I am glad to see that there is someone playing a whole different game that uses the Calamity soundtrack. Love to see it.
"This may seem like a dumb challenge to you" ARE YOU KIDDING I DONT EVEN PLAY THIS GAME BUT I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THE WHOOOOOOOOLE TIME.
Wirtual, keep it up! Amazing content. Subbed, love your stuff, amazing speedrunner and storyteller.
It's funny how he beats the game blindfolded and I can't even complete all the levels with both of my eyes open
Same
Same
You know what funnier , I don't even play Trackmania , but still enjoy this channel. I just fascinated about how some people could put soo much time into single game because I , myself rarely beat any game twice let alone trying to speedrun. Same goes to FitMc (2b2t Minecraft) , agamescout (tetris) , Core A Gaming (fighting game), fireb0rn , mossbag (Hollow Knight) , WaifuRuns ( RE4 and LFD) , SHiFT (Battle for Bikini Bottom) , Goose's Gamer Folklore (Goldeneye) , Msushi (Portal) , you all are LEGEND . It beyond me how some guy could dissect a single game and making content from just one game.
Try give a shot for each of this channel. Trust me , you would not be disappointed.
@@penguinisnotracist8440 Yeah me too I don't even play this game but i enjoy this channel
@@penguinisnotracist8440 I recommend checking out Super Mario Bros any% speedruns. Those are possibly the most optimized and best reverse-engineered speedruns ever. The players have to do pixel perfect and frame perfect inputs, they have to master very peculiar methods to utilize various glitches, they memorize all likely enemy patterns in the game, they manipulate the game in the most unexpected ways, and there is even a little bit of RNG to add salt to the frustration.
Mom: Can you drive me to the groceries?
Wirtual: Sure!
Also Wirtual: (puts blindfold on)
A SpongeBob move
“There’s gotta be a humming airco in the house next to me, then I’ll steer right”
*plays bohemian rhapsody on loop on the radio*
"I just have to time this jump right"
“I can hear air blowing on my left, this should be the sign to take a U-turn”
@@absolutehuman951 Yeah, Wirtual cannot drive without a blindfold
"So, what is your best achievement, dad?"
"Oh, I finished a racing game blindfolded while being watched by a lot of spectators, which took more than 100 hours."
125 hours of complete blindness, car crashing sounds, ambient booster sounds and 4 am hallucinations

The satisfaction he must get from those checkpoint sounds. We can only imagine.
Imagine the speed run mod having to review this footage

"Mom, can we watch Daredevil?"
"We have Daredevil at home."
Daredevil at home:
way better than ben aflecks daredevil
The rare occasion that the at home version is better LMAO
the upsidedown blindfolded wait where he goes nowhere made me cry laughing i kept pausing to look at chat lose their minds
Wirtual would be scare the hell out of the drivers license instructors that are just there to tell him if he passed or not
"do some parallel parking"
Wirtual: *does a flip in the car while the car does a flip while blindfolded*
"If I slinky on the curb of this road 5 times, back up until I hear the sewer culvert, and then fullspeed through the stoplight and turn right with brake after 2 seconds, it'll work every time"
@@richardpike8748 that's a really good one
35:42 That "Mama, 3 4 5, didn't mean to make you cry" killed me
It sounds like Wirtual put some autotune on his voice 😂
Edit:
I just realized he used some other version of the song to avoid copyright attacks.
@@beargrylls6135 But autotune is illegal in Bohemian Rhapsody
😂
It's impossible to compress the magnitude and difficulty of this accomplishment into a reasonably sized RUclips video. In this video we gloss over an hour of attempts with just "after some time I made it to the finish" (which is good, a 100-hour video wouldn't be very fun to watch). But watching the stream let you truly see how little information Wirtual was working with. Driving blindfolded appears easier than it is until _you_ close your eyes too and realize just how quickly you lose track of where the car is and what direction it's facing.
D11 had Wirtual fail so, so, so so SO many times on the final platform because he just overestimated the amount of the final steering input, and he had practically zero feedback on what exactly he was doing wrong. TTS was disabled during the stream, but the mods let through a message telling Wirt that he had to take the blindfold off, recalibrate and see what he was doing wrong. There's only one checkpoint on the track so he wouldn't even lose any progress. But the madman said no and went ahead with another hour of blind attempts :D So the eventual completion really did feel like a miracle.
What a great journey. What a crazy guy. One of my favorite events in gaming history. 💪
Yes, it is crazy how many fails were in between it. Only the first round in E05, we sat there for 3, 4, 5 hours, I don‘t remember how long it was in the end, on that last 15 second driving section from the checkpoint to the multilap - every time having the hope that this time must be it.
And every single time he hit somewhere, flew outside, hit the ring, everything, just no successful run. Keeping going despite that, that‘s the spirit of Wirtual that made that unbelievable achievement possible.
Honestly belive this is fake, could of hade a friend telling him to go in his headset. Sometimes he knew where to turn and go without any reason behind it.
@@neero7009 the dude streamed for 120 hours and you're calling it fake lol

The fucking fact that he this took 125 HOURS to beat a car game blindfolded is amazing. You can tell Wirt was dedicated to this, driving to the point where he started fucking hallucinating. This is why I love Trackmania and its community.
Best video on youtube. For reals. Thanks for displaying such an awesome achievement! I was hesitant at first to watch it but I'm glad I did.
Wirtual is a real one, he completed a whole racing game blindfolded and then proceeded to motivate others to complete their own goals. Thanks for always pulling a Wirtual!
S L I N K Y S T R A T S
best part of the whole thing
That is dedication. And now I can understand how familiar you are with all those tracks, so deeply.
Watching your videos for 5 hours a day got me motivated to return to speedrunning and I did manage to beat a WR today in Mirror's Edge iOS 5-2 in 00:53.04 which only took half an hour of effort. And I know that it can still be faster as I have an offline PB that is better.
Man every time im having a tough time (im studying medicine in a foreign country) idk how i find this video in my reccomended and that last words... absolute cheering up moment, wow

Somewhere, Morpheus is smiling.
"He's beginning to believe".
I've started watching most of his videos now, as I discovered him 2 months ago, I've also looked at other trackmania streamers and nobody really comes close to Wirtual in his content creation. Keep up the amazing work.
i followed your advide at the end, and challenged myself to get the platinum trophy for dark souls (remastered on the ps4)
after maaaaany hours, and a few rage quits i finally did it.
im not too ashamed to admit a few happy tears flowed down my face, what a journey it was
(yeah, i get that this is not nearly as difficult as what wirtual did here, but i feel proud of it regardless)
1) Holy shit thats impressive
2) That ending sentiment made me go start my Uni essay that's due tomorrow, so thanks :D
how’d it go
How are you now?

What if you are blind and deaf?

I've always loved how you tell the story, I binge watched most of your videos, I pop into the streams. But the moment this story got to Bohemian Rhapsody I absolutely lost it. Unreal video this one. Felt like crying at the end there xD Thanks and huge congrats on this challenge, what a grind, what an achievement!!
Such a cool feat Wirt. Just started watching ur videos recently. Never played track mania myself so I totally get what you mean when you say it is not about TM. Keep doing what ur’ doing!

Lad had been blindfolded for 10h. If you haven't been, you probs can't imagine it. I definetly can't.
@@cbt_mannot only blindfolded for 10h, he was playing a track and getting full focus to finish the game.
He is like Neo in the Matrix when he looses his sight in the fight with Agent Smith. He can still see with no sight. You are a crazy man Wirtual hahaha
imagine the 1st matrix movie lasts like 113 hours. no marathon needed xD
This got me through unimaginable amounts of homework
Yeah I think this is my favorite RUclips video of all time. I’ve always enjoyed challenges, but this really takes it to the extreme, and the fact he didn’t give up is just amazing to me.
I still remember that feeling of watching you on the final lap on E05. The intensity, crazy stuff to see, keep it up! Also, don't pull a wirtual ;)

i'm really unsure how your videos came to my lists, but i've been watching many of them, which actually lead me to reinstall this game that i didn't played in 10 years probably. Great work, lovely content.
You are insanely good at telling a story and creating a mood. You make me and everyone’s day better.
Watching you do this live was a surreal experience. This is one of the most impressive feats in gaming. A big congrats from me wirt :)
Everyone on e01: no way dude, that's impossible
Wirtual: don't ever use the word impossible with me
He’s now gotten to the point that impossible doesn’t mean he can’t do it, it just means everyone else thinks it can’t be done
This is easily one of the most inspiring videos I've ever watched and I'd be lying if I said that I'm not spending too much time on the internet watching tons of videos on different topics. Congrats man!
Great video and storytelling as usual!
And impressive skills, dedication and creativity: gg!

Amazing video. Really inspired by your video making process and just the outcome of getting the challenge done
I like the part where he drives blindfolded

Man, this dude is such a nice guy! I'm over here surprised by everything he's doing! And at the end of the video, he tells you to try and do things you want to do and achieve things you thought were hard to make you feel good.
