I got the world record for Plague Inc 

this record is definitely beatable, so I'm excited to see what you all can do :)

Fun fact: plagued inc is CDC endorsed. They believe the game to be a great tool for understanding how pathogens work and evolution of diseases.

Greenland is like that one friend who you’d never think would be athletic, then when they’re the last one In dodgeball they become a god.

This game was so good they made a live action of this after 8 years of it's release

57:40 this is honestly exactly what i imagine speezy talks irl he just goes on random facts and it's funny and awesome

Wasn’t expecting a random affirmation from Speezy during the Vampiric Plague

I'm not sure what I like more, the fact that when Speezy upgrades a single symptom like Cytopathic reanimation every person every infected with the disease suddenly becomes a zombie like sleeper agents, or the fact that his vampire managed to kill every single person in Greenland by itself, including the entire military and everyone who would be hiding in a bunker. Absolutely legendary plague creation

6:50 the line about "using Saudi Arabia for 9/11 of the examples" was errrr..... ONE HELL OF A CHOICE 😂

57:49 I really did NOT expect that, my mind wandered off for a bit and the next thing I know is Speezy being giga wholesome. Really sweet of you man, keep doing what you're doing because you're very good at it.

God the RNG must have been painful for this game

Plague Inc. Wiki editor and longtime community member here, thank you for giving the game a boost in exposure and popularity with this video. It’s a game with fascinating mechanics, so I’m glad you took the time to learn them through. 😊 By the way, Severity is a trade off mechanic - humanity’s response will be stronger, but you get more DNA from popping bubbles :)

CAHPTERS/TIME SKIPS: 0:07 Bacteria 2:16 Virus 4:59 Fungi 10:53 Neurax Worm 13:41 Parasite 17:47 Prion 23:17 Zombie(Necroa) 29:48 Killswitch 33:09 Bio 37:33 Flu 51:36 Shadow

Watching Eazy Speedy at 2x speed doubles the whiplash from "our vampire plague is spreaaaading" to "Seriously. You are Loved." to "yall ever think about how our memories are fake" back to "vampire plague!!" Great video, and it's really interesting to see the strats!

Just in case you were wondering the "manufactured memory" sounds like a psychology concept called "false memories" where if you gather enough information, your brain begins to really want to put everything together to make an actual story. It actually starts to piece together real events, imaginary details made up by the mind, and sometimes details distorted by other memories as well. These memories can actually begin to feel so real that in the past during law cases, there has actually been innocent suspects who start believing they were actually involved in the crime, resulting in false confessions.

mega brutal is...very brutal...seriously though, it feels impossible, even with a guide, because something goes wrong or you don't do something at the exact correct time and then you lost the entire game. I respect you for doing something like this.

I can barely do bacteria on casual mode and this guy is speed running all plagues on mega brutal mode. Huge respect.

The best part of this entire happening is your half memories that you start regaling about around 53:35. I've got my own very VERY early memories that feel dreamlike. Trying to go back and unearth these emotions always feels like a struggle no one else will have, because they're my own memories. The fact that you also have these experiences that you don't fully understand, but still openly talk about, is very exciting. Thank you for this experience.

this run is... sick.

“But it’s really nice when you can start killing” -EasySpeezy 2023

EazySpeezy told me at 4 in the morning at the end of a plague inc Speedrun that I am loved and I really needed to hear it. Thank you

The random candy smell you get could actually be from a persons perfume/cologne, some have a hard candy smell and one of them might be close enough to that original candy smell that it reminds you each time.

I studpied criminology in college, and it had a lot of overlaps with sociology. One of the topics we learnt were how unreliable witness testomonies can be due to how easily manipulated they can be. Not even maliciously, but due to an officer saying one thing, or presenting suspect portraits too early, it has the power to totally flip the memories around and instill fake ones. It's a really interesting!

Speezy: you are loved also Speezy: we are in a simulation

Your little message of telling us we are cared about honestly made me happy, Im up at 4am listening to your commentary to help me sleep as your videos are engaging but also relaxed, and it reminded me of my fiance who loves me so much and I always question it because something so great feels so unreal- so thank you for that, it cut off my overthinking :) And I get what you mean by your memories of Lucky! I have a cat called Puss (we did not know what to name her aha) and my mother saved her when she was less than a week old (presumably) and being beaten by teens, it was a miracle she survived. I was 10 months old when it happened so logically have no recollection, but I remember it- and I can only word it how you worded your own experience! She's 15 now, but not slowing down at all! She was spayed at 7, and they accidentally found out she had a severe hernia when spaying her- it saved her life by chance as she presumably would only have about a week left if unchecked, the poor thing's a fighter- she never changed how she act, we never would have known! I hope your dog Lucky is well, and if they have passed on, I know the sweet little thing had a great owner, you seemed extremely fond in your anecdote! Do share more of these chatty conversations in your videos, I enjoy listening to them!

My first day playing this game years ago on like my third attempt I ended up lossing with a single person in the world still healthy. I felt so robbed I was like when that one guy dies humanity is extinct even if he’s still alive I have won.

In reguards to Saudi Arabia: If you've used the scenario creator, you can see that the country has regular flights to RANDOM countries, unlike other routes which are set t9 go to selected countries

The memory talk is something I've been thinking about a lot, I remember a person that died when I was freshly newborn. I remember when asking about that person, my mom was really confused how I remember that (I only saw him once in bed dying) Human brain is really interesting IMHO

As a kid I never even managed to finish the virus stage so its kinda satisfying seeing this now. Patience and strategy were not my strongest suit :))

watching the vampire plague and laughing and thinking to myself, i wonder what kind of vampire easyspeezy would be, like "here i am in your house about to devour your blood in a second but first did you know someone in the world loves you, after i drink your blood and make you my minion you should give them a call, but now onto the main course.....which is killing you and turning you into my minon" LMFAO

I love playing this game and seeing no one left alive in the countries, looking at the map menu and it’s just like “US has been eradicated, Canada has been eradicated” or w/e and seeing the locations in the pictures going from there being a bunch of people to completely run down and deserted visually showing you that no one is left alive. Also I just love the game’s music. It’s got that perfect touch of unnerving and spooky for a game where you’re playing as a disease trying to wipe out humanity XD

I enjoy playing this game on casual when i am having a bad day and naming the plague after myself. There is something empowering about seeing has deztroyed the world

Very nice, watched it all through and big props to you for being able to talk all the time, it made it much more entertaining. Really enjoyed it... Keep it up

Woooo!! Congrats man, this is a pretty significant game to hold a record in.

I never thought I'd start crying while watching a plague inc speedrun :')

The Planet of the Apes trilogy, in my opinion, is actually one of the best movie trilogies out there. It's not without its flaws, but every entry is a super solid movie in its own right and unlike other trilogies that are notorious for DRASTICALLY dropping off in quality in the later installments, this one holds strong until the end, with an emotional finale if you've watched from the start. As examples of other trilogies that I think handle themselves extremely well I'd list the Hunger Games and How to Train Your Dragon trilogies, with Maze Runner being pretty dang solid overall though with a few more blatant flaws than the others. Long story short, if the premise interests you, I definitely would encourage giving PotA a watch :)

regarding the candy smell talk, when i was young, there was this raspberry/strawberry sugar candy in the local store where i lived, that just dissapeared one day. then 15 years later i started my apprenticeship at a car painting/damage company where one of the polishes we used smelled exactly like that candy and brought back so many memories i har forgetten about over the years

Listening to the part about the candy, the way you described it immediately reminded me of the striped aniseed hard candies.they have a pretty distinct smell and taste, and it's also a spice so you would be able to smell it randomly. Probably not right, but just what I thought.

What happens if you have exactly 1 survivor? I mean, theoretically, if there are 2 survivors, they COULD MAYBE repopulate the planet, so it makes sense you'd lose in that scenario, but if you have 1 lonely guy left wtf is he gonna do

This game always makes me anxious and worried about a random plague breaking out in the world but here I am watching anyways. Love you!!!

I also love hearing you talk! And I also needed that bit of encouragement so thank you. I always love watching your videos

The entire world: *gets infected* Greenland: "We don't do that here"

something ive liked as a plague inc player is the little notch on the infectiviry bar for a country showing what i call the "point of no return' where the infected population is so large it only takes a few seconds for the country to go from

“But is it a good movie? Tell me in the comments” It’s SO GOOD. That trilogy isn’t the kind of thing I’m usually into, but I ADORE those films. There is so much love and care put into the story telling- they are shockingly poignant- it caught me really off guard since I didn’t expect it, but I’m dead serious. Definitely worth checking out! And while I’m here.. I’ve been lingering for awhile on your channel and I always really love your runs! I’m a huge fan of speedrunning, and it’s tons of fun seeing your casual commentary alongside some genuinely impressive gameplay! You make some fantastic stuff! Keep up the good work and I hope you have a fantastic day ^-^

Actually, the topic you shared about the "manufactured memories" is truly fascinating! Your personal story, though 'fake' memory, really got me thinking. It's incredible how our memories can be shaped and influenced, especially at such a young age. Just a while ago, a friend and I were reminiscing about a trip we took, and through our conversation, some details seemed to get embellished or altered. It made me realize how susceptible our memories are to suggestion, not only in childhood but also in adulthood. I wonder how often this happens in various aspects of our lives. It's intriguing to consider the malleability of our recollections.

I never realize how quick you can play this game or how long the whole thing actually was. Even at 10:52, you’re already 3 plagues done.

Fun fact: severity does more than make you get noticed faster. The higher your severity the more DNA you get. You can easily notice in the parasite run that he gets something like 4 or 6 DNA per bubble when normally you get 1 or 2. That's the severity.

Awesome listening to you talk man! I am sure Lucky had a great life with you guys! Great content ofc.. keep up the grind

59:11 im pretty sure ive built memories around pictures and recordings from when i was younger, so that was very relatable. neat to see someone talk about it

God am I excited for an hour long video! Only downside to watching speedrun videoes is that they’re so short lol, keep up the great work!

A little thing to note- Severity increases the number of DNA points you get from red bubbles, so upgrading some symptoms early on is a great way to get more points.

57:30 deffo wasn’t expecting this but really needed to hear this so thank you ❤

I love the little tangent about memory during the Vamp plague. I have a couple different "memories" where its not something I actually remember but I've heard and told the story so many times it may as well be a memory. Cool to know others experience that :)

15:46 Genetic Drift does effect all traits in any category, the “Stasis genes” make the cost of the traits in a category increase slower.

I’ve always been curious, do you keep all your route notes for these games? You could be the biggest speed runner help website ever if you did and uploaded them lol

This was a fun speedrun! :D I've never managed to beat some of these outside of easy mode. Also, I absolutely understand what you mean re: those memories- I'm not sure if the memory of my family and I bringing home our puppy Ralph when my bro and I were 4 is a legit memory or, like you said, a manufactured one. Brains are odd. (And re: that candy! I have such distinct memories of my Gram having The Best Candy as a little, but trying the same candy as an teen/adult was underwhelming, RIP.)

First time i'm looking at ur videos... And i must say i fell in love. U got some great speech, some loving parts, and some fun. What more to ask for ? I'm staying, and i'll enjoy it ! Thx man !

It's interesting seeing shadow virus speedruns because I always learned to play it super slow and steady because if you don't trigger the actual infection and instead just sit in one place farming until you have like infinite points, you can basically just win every time

The fact that you mentioned the memories of someone telling you what happened while you were much younger... yeah, I have my own version of that. I don't have a vivid imagination that I remember it through my own mind... but I still remember it because of how many different times it was told. It starts like this: We lived in Italy because our dad was military. My older brother wanted to eat fruits... and saw a dish on the menu that translates to 'Fruits of the Sea'. He saw fruit and got it... found out it was seafood. Guess what my baby ass self decided to do? I ate all of it. I kept making a face that told everyone 'Bleh, I hate this' before I went back and have more. Fun fact: I actually like seafood now, so...

I love your speedruns, your voice is very calming to fall asleep to. Thanks :)

I’m so thankful for this video. I listen to that video every night to help me fall asleep because your voice is so calming. I don’t think I could sleep without it. Thank you so much

Tips: its a good idea to get more severity in early game of mega brutal since it gives you more dna per bubble popped

Hell yeah, i loved this game. I could never get past virus though. (The second one, not the first one hahah) One thing a lot of people dont know you can sell traits back for DNA. So if you get a random mutation that you dont like, you can get rid of it. (He does this during the simian flu.) Also, madagascar and greenland were always the worst for me I had a good strategy that when id get any symptoms, you can delete them for DNA to use somewhere else, and id put it all into infection. Then once everyone was infected, id take all the DNA back and put it all into symptoms to just watch everyone die hahaha

this is a great vid!!!! keep them coming!

I love the little appreciation and love bits you give randomly in videos ❤ It really means a lot to some people to hear that, at the very least as a reminder. I also loved the memory parts lol. I don't have fake memories myself from stories people have told me from before I could remember (though I've heard many), but I do have memories no one else remembers lmao. I remember waking up in my bed on my fourth birthday, getting dressed, walking to the kitchen, and my mom was there with a white decorated cake with a big ol' 4 candle on it, she wished me Happy Birthday lol. The memory just ends there for me kinda, but my mom doesn't remember this at all, except she remembers the cake, but doesn't remember any decorations besides the 4 candle.

Always up to the best of speed runs

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

i was sleeping when your video start playing and you just put me out of my sleep on 57:30 when you start talking about "random stuff" and it was a very pleaseant wake up thank you

Congratulations man you deserve it! Keep up the good work!

Hey, you're the most entertaining speedrunner on the platform rn. I never watch any speedruns but I watch you alot because you talk alot and explain every strat. I really enjoy listening to you ramble about stuff :D

The moment at 57:33 really surprised me but it was so nice and thank you from me and from all I would hope your way of thinking would be shared more And btw congrats on the record, really enjoyed the full explication and the commentaries all along as an old time player of the game even tho I'm not very good and never speed runned, always fun !

This video was pretty satisfying because a lot of the tactics you were using were the same ones I figured out when I first played the game, like Saudi Arabia being a really good starting spot, going for birds, water, and air travel first, though admittedly I fumbled a bit because I was a kid and dumbly lost to Greenland often because I didn't really get the temperature resistance thresholds >->

at around 57 minute mark. Thank you Speezy. You make my life better even when times are difficult. We appreciate you and know you are loved just as much as we are.

Man, I love this game, it's rare for me to watch a full one hour video, amazing video as always!

This is how I found your channel and I've got to say, I really enjoyed your little musings at the end and it genuinely made my day better. Also kind of dissapointed that it was some cheesy segway into an ad. But that's what I expect from RU-vid nowadays. Not your fault just sad YT is like that. Anyways you've earned yourself a sub. I hope you have a fantastic day!

Genetic drift does affect everything, which makes mega brutal so difficult. You can pick sympto-stasis, patho-stasis or trans-stasis, but not all of them at once, so you still have to be quick because everything is going to cost more and more

the random affirmation of being loved caught me so off guard, but thank you

Nuerax worm has always been my favorite plague, i love the concept and the trojan plans trivialize it. I know its not the hardest one but damn do i love playing it

That is what I call entertaining content. Thank you bro!

I like how it changed from Eazy documenting the game to sharing his memories

So while watching this I was playing plague inc on my phone, just relaxing. I was listening yet sorting out at the same time, yet my attention was fully grabbed when I heard you mentioning a dog named Lucky. I have a dog named Lucky (he's currently snuggling up to me). I just found it interesting that we both had/have a dog with the same name.

Well thank you for making sure everybody is good and ok and I absolutely loved this whole video

Wasn’t expecting a very kind affirmation from Speezy during the common Vampiric Plague and it made my day ngl

Your speed running skills are so good, its sickening

57:56 I came here to watch a speedrun and ended up questioning the way our brains work and the fact that I think I remember many things I didn't even experience

You earned yourself a subs with the random gibberish at the end. Keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed your random 2-minute ramble. It was a nice insight into how human memory is rather fluid.

I'm so glad you played this game! :D

The smell memory thing happens because the part of your brain that processes smell is very close to the part that saves memories, at least as far as I know.

So awesome seeing content for a game like this still.

another thing about severity, is that, a really high level of severity does make the labs shut down faster, at the endgame where ppl are about to die, you can get progression of healing alted in some countries as early as 65% deaths, while usually it's just a bit later

i like the tomato anus style positivity shout out. it’s always nice to hear even when i do start to expect it. it’s important to hear those types of things especially in todays world, and a chill video like this that people would probably watch to escape from life is a great place for it. appreciate it

Damn an hour long vid You deserve the record man 👏👏

That simian segment was kinda nutty. Now I'm motivated to try this game again. Thanks, Speezy!

Thank you for the message at the end of the video EazySpeezy. I really needed to hear that.

its a great day when eazy uploads❤

No I did not expect the wholesome sweet message near the end but I’m very happy to hear it :) thanks speezy

higher severity gives more dna points when popping red bubbles, can use it as a tactic in some runs, and if you get high enough severity, even if you don't kill, can still cause people to work on cure, just a bit slower, and can still cause people to close boarders, airports and ships

Bro I'm gonna be dead honest. I couldn't watch the entire video in 1 go. Amazing video regardless of my attention span, but I just listen to this because your voice is ever so perfect explaining a game in Great details. I'm barely past the half way mark, and I still love hearing the constant remarks on the game. Perfect video 10/10 👌

I love using plagues to eliminate man kind In game of course *whispers* now where’s that norovirus

Sickness speedrun
