I loved the moment in this video where CJ says “it’s speed running time” and then proceeds to run with Mario all over the place, definitely one of the videos out there
Speed running while speed running the game, beautiful. Yes, I was there during the whole livestream, can confirm we were all freaking out when the treadmill shocked Cj and worrying he would bonk irl Props to Cj for his dedication, he finally got the shower and rest he needed.
@@thomashindle2230 I think it was the friction on his feet, because when Cj was walking slowly it would shock him a little. But once he started running, it didn't do that anymore. The treadmill was also like a squeaky toy at times too lol
I was reading this as the video was ending and thought to myself "wow great comment, they managed to capture CJs exact way of taking too lol" and then I got to that point in the video XP
The problem is, if you turn stuff like that into an actual speedrun, it will just change from "If X happens, do Y" to "If X happens reset the run". Because whatever punishment you get will most likely stop you from getting a good time anyway
I played SMO almost straight through a train ride from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, so a few hundred miles. (ON FOOT this is probably true, though. Unless someone played consistently while walking to class/work. More miles over more time.)
Still at the intro, but predicting one of two outcomes: either CJ ends up ready to run a 5K, or has to spend 5K repairing that room after he is launched through the wall by that treadmill. Let's hope it's the former.
As someone who has had his shoulder and tops of his fingers power sanded by a treadmill before, I'm reaaaaaally glad CJ did this safely! Edit: Did look again, god there is not much space between the treadmill and the wall for him to get away if something had gone wrong
I had part of my elbow skin scraped off by a treadmill. It didn’t even hurt much because of my runners high. I didn’t notice bad it was until I finished my run and got in the shower 😅
@@PkHunt13 yeah, i wondered about that too. anyway, sorry DSouls for being a buzzkill, and i don't think cj would mind us having more realistic athletic expectations of him.
I used to think he was insane but then I replaced my unused armchair with a bike and will just be playing games on that and it is fine for an hour but once it gets past that it starts getting rough. Really keeps me off my PlayStation too since I don't get on without the bike
A 7 minute mile? WHILE PLAYING( well speedrunning.. pun intended) ODDYSEY? Someone get this man an award. I couldn't run a 7 minute mile without playing oddysey and this man did it like it was nothing
This was a great stream! Genuinely very surprised you didn't fall 😂 Definitely would've fallen if you stuck to the original 12mph cap instead of lowering it to 8mph, a necessary concession for sure.
"Every time I take damage, the treadmill gets faster" This doesn't seem SO bad... "bonk/damage = +1 mph" wat *bonks on the inside of a door* welp. Good start...
I love that you totally were allowed to reset the mph after seaside (since you started at 2 mph from snow) but no one in chat said anything so you had to do luncheon starting at 4 mph 😂
This was actually very impressive and a very fun cool concept for a video. Great job! Also great to see the TransBiPOC pride flag in the background! Keep up the great work! Ps, anyone want to see something like this as a speed run category? A new wave of fitness gaming.
