The Most Insane GoldenEye Speedrun I've Ever Seen 

Rayan Isran is so good he made me uninstall GoldenEye 007 from my Nintendo 64. Use my code LEGEND to get $5 off your delicious, high protein Magic Spoon cereal by clicking this link: sponsr.is/magicspoon_legend

Karl Jobst without context: “I optimized things with a single bullet to the head” 😂

The speed at which he’s moving when he hits that long shot to the third camera is insane. If you blink, you’ll literally miss him shooting it. Unbelievable run.

That speedrunner Karl Jobst seems like an absolute legend for all those milestones he set. You should talk about him more often.

That 1 shot on camera 3 is the greatest shot in video game history. It’s a thing of beauty, must have been practiced a million times. I watched it like six times and then a few times in slow Mo.

every time i watch videos of old speedruns im reminded how blessed we are in the doom community to have demo files

2:00 ... This is the best part of this channel. I love the deep dive on the history of a speedrun, because it allows someone like me, who has never bothered to speedrun anything, to see how impressive a new record is.

Karl does such a good job with explaining the history, I actually said "wow" when Ace hit that third camera.

what makes this particularly impressive is that it doesn't rely on rng like most runs do

Karl is such a fucking legend, I love his way of nonchalantly explaining how he changed a strat in a world record 🤣🤣🤣

Goldeneye is the perfect game to speedrun, in my opinion. The better you are, the better you make James Bond be. I just love the idea he completes his mission, in real life, to infiltrate an enemy base, steal plans/evidence, rescue a hostage all in only 19 seconds and 5 bullets. Truly worthy of 007.

I would've thought the word "Perfect" to be an exaggeration, but this is INDEED a perfect run. The way Ace executed that run was flawless. I don't think that there will ever be a run like this in GoldenEye again.

Guy should be awarded the Tier 0 Speedrun award. He not only managed to produce a run noone has beaten yet, he then went on and lowered that same record. What an absolute legend!

14:22 This might be the best "THIS RUN!" Youve made. Normally its us being excited. But this time you really felt excited yourself.

Holy cow. You were not exaggerating. It's 19 seconds of perfection. Fantastic video.

The third camera shot is just immaculate. Full throttle, only gas throughout the whole level while taking frame perfect shots - what a run!

Only Karl Jobst can make a 17 minute video about 1 second in a video game. I love it.

Perfect Ace is just that far ahead of everyone else. His legacy is unmatched.

Karl is cranking out these videos! I just want to let you know that we really appreciate the effort you put into all of your content

Hey Karl, this is a bit of a random comment so please feel free to ignore it but I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm not really into speedrunning, by that what I mean is I do enjoy video games but I find speedrunning as a concept only vaguely interesting, for me it's more the mechanics and techniques that I find cool - and I know that speedrunning not really something that I'm ever going to get into doing. However, there is something about your videos which absolutely captivates me. The way you tell the story, teach about the history and the mechanics of the game, the way you speak so highly of players, being respectful and humble whenever you talk about anything - honestly I look forward to each and every upload. You make speedrunning so incredibly interesting for me, for games I've played incessantly, for games that have never interested me and even for games I've never heard of. It's always an absolute pleasure to see that you've made a new upload, and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one since stumbling across your channel. Just wanted to say thank you, and to let you know that your work is so, so appreciated and I hold you in high regard as one of my favourite RU-vidrs of all time. I hope your channel continues to grow and that you continue to enjoy doing what you do :) All the best!

6:06 can we just appreciate how humble Karl is? He broke a ridiculous world record and barely even mentions it or gives himself any credit. I actually almost didn't realize what he said here at first. Wow.

me most of the time: relatively forgettable me watching a Karl Jobst video: an absolute legend

Rayan Isran is by far one of the most gifted kids out there ever since he was 12 years old and beating most of the levels with a pal game of golden eye and perfect dark as well.

I love these goldeneye videos because i can almost feel Karl's passion and love for the game. It's also fun hearing him lowkey flex cause he's of course amazing at the game.

When I heard about this I knew it would only be a matter of hours before I'd hear Karl's famous line, 'achieved... this run.' Thanks for the recap and explanations!

2 seconds ahead in a record this old and a run this short is absolutely insane. I cannot even comprehend.

the amount of respect karl has for rayan isran is insane but also wholesome. you can tell he really does mean what he says whenever he says hes the best, theres no denying that rayan is practically perfect when it comes to golden eye. but hearing karl just shower him with praise and compliments is so nice to hear. instead of being bitter about the record being now even more impossible to beat he instead takes the time to say "this is crazy and you all need to see how perfect this is!". karl is very humble and is a great example of great sportsmanship. even when his own records are at stake he will instead ask others to cheer on those attempting to beat his times. its so nice to have this level of positivity to look forward to.

Holy, Rayan’s run looks like a TAS! Amazing how far this game has come

Comparatively speaking, I haven't gamed much in my life, but I have lots of good memories of playing GoldenEye back in the '90s with my sons when they were little kids. Good times. Fascinating video, as always.

I've played this so many times as a kid. There's only a handful of times I was able to drop any camera in one shot at distance, and that was an accident.

Super cool that you were in your own video for Golden Eye speedruns, love that you're a SME on this, brings in so much more authenticity and power to your words of praise:)

Those 3rd and 4th camera shots are absurd. Karl it is always a treat to watch you break down Speed running WRs because of your knowledge and love for Speed running

I remember playing this game as a 7 year old. Playing multiplayer with my brother and the babysitter. Crazy we are still talking about this game today. I am 32 now.

Oh shit, Karl’s about to do his own version of speedlore 2:02

Feel like as soon as Karl covers one major milestone something else happens in the speed running world that forces him back to work, and I must say we all appreciate you!

Karl talking about his own runs is so wholesome.

Look, I know the market research shows these style video thumbnails bring in the teen youtube views, but you are above this Karl.

Karl Jobst 🤝 Goose doing Goldeneye speedrun videos and ad reads for magic spoon

I love how the cameras still count as “100% accuracy” these developers know where it’s at

I love how much speed runners respect one another. Watching how much admiration runners have for the skills and techniques of one another is honestly super refreshing.

Just amazing. Amazing. Thanks for covering this with the history! Also- I love “the player Ryan white” lol

The confidence to shoot that 3rd camera without stopping in the 19 sec run is mental

Thanks for the continue coverage on these speedrunning milestones, events, scandals, etc. It's also a pleasure to watch your work.

Man 1999. One of the best and craziest years of my life. This game was absolutely part of those good times!

Exactly what I needed to finally put me to bed satisfied, thanks you absolute legend. RU-vid has me surfing for a while, but your videos among many other speedrun content videos are a treat, and I cant thank you enough!

17 minutes to explain the awesomeness of a 19 second speedrun. Heaven!

went from knowing absolutely nothing about this or its signifigance to getting chills while watching the absolute perfection of a run at the end, so id say job well done

Excellent video, Karl. Always nice to see a video from you in my feed.

Very impressive stuff. I watched goose cover it a few days ago. Do we have actual video footage of his reaction? Seeing that moment where he beat the record would be a sight to behold.

I literally couldn’t see the 2nd and 3rd camera’s being shot on 1st viewing. They were zapped and moved-past that fast! Just incredible. 👍

I love seeing GoldenEye videos on your channel, I started watching you when you only did GoldenEye videos and GoldenEye speedrunning is really fascinating to me despite never playing the game or even owning an N64, I just think the game has very unique speedruns and people

as someone who doesn't play most of the games you cover, I always can understand whats going on in the run and why its so fast/impressive. really amazing job explaining the goals and mechanics of each game/level. I literally have never played or watched videos of some of these games but your explanations never leave me in the dark. you are the true legend

I see the thumbnail game has leveled up.

Gotta love being called an absolute legend every time you open a video from the absolute legend, Karl Jobst.

I'd been waiting for your video on this, couldn't wait to see your take and appreciation of it.

It’s amazing to still see that people do have genuine passion for games, the way Karl speaks about video games (especially goldeneye) just warms my heart, have a good one Karl, lotta love from my family to yours 🥰

I see you have succumbed to the youtube thumbnail meta

I remember loving Goldeneye as a kid but holy heck Karl your videos just really make me want to fire it up and try speedrunning it for the first time

Thanks for contributing your expertise to these amazing achievements Karl.

Another legendary video, thank you so much. Also, I love how often FTL music is used as the bgm. One of my all time favorite games and soundtrack accompanied by one of my favorite youtubers. You Karl are the legend.

That was a beautiful 19 second, you were not wrong. Perfection.

"If you cant beat em, make monetisable videos about em." -the Karl philosophy.

Great video as always! Your insights truly add value

I look forward to your videos the most so you banging these out is awesome!

I really enjoy the wide coverage of speedrunning content, keep it up🤙

4 videos in a month, 3 in a week. jfc Karl youre killing it!!!!!!

Whenever Karl does a Goldeneye video you know he's got knowledge of it down to the finest detail, which always makes for a fun watch.

I just got my Nintendo64 working after 10+ years and i only have 2 more levels 2 beat on 00 agent to unlock egyptian, i fell inlove with this game all over again.. ive been on this game for 3 days straight and dont plan on stopping, beats most modern games imo.. btw this video i absolute gold

Thank you for your consistent quality videos

Another fact that shows how insane this run is: Bunker 1 SA 20 seconds would be the game's second-longest-standing untied WR if Ace didn't achieve 19 seconds. Train 00A 1:48 is the only current WR that has stood untied for longer.

I love how you break down the history of the speed run and really analyze every aspect of it.

I've been loving how many videos you've put out lately buddy! Give er bud!

I'm addicted to your videos! You are an amazing narrator and I look at speed running completely different now. Thanks!

at this point, I'd love a video just covering every level in order and how the WR changed in each level. You've covered what, 7 levels already?

I loved to speed run the God of War and Uncharted games a decade ago and all of these Speedrun videos just give me so much nostalgia. Great Video Karl😌

I was wondering if you would do a video about this, since Goose already made one. Really good stuff Karl keep posting high quality videos I love your channel!

Oh man when a goldeneye legend recognizes another

Just remember, even when the world says there is no better, its a challange not an unbreakable truth.

I remember running Facility on 00 Agent over and over just the unlock the Invincibility cheat. Friends of mine at school used to give me their cartridges to unlock cheats for them. I can't even remember how many times I had to run it initially before I got a route down that was feasible. Either way, this was long before I had heard of the concept of "speedrunning." I guess for me this is the game that really started it all. So cool to see how times have changed from the days of reading Nintendo Power for tips to guys running nearly perfect runs and setting world records. Thanks for the nostalgia and the always great videos

Amazing video. I'm not familiar with GoldenEye, but the context you provided throughout the video made me appreciate how impressive that speedrun is. The way he destroyed the cameras was simply perfect!

Bored as hell on my way to work, and this video pops up. Best way to start a day

karl's goldeneye videos just hit different.

Already saw the video to the run on Goose's Gamer Folklore, but such a perfect run cannot be shown enough!

I almost didn't click on this video because there's nothing circled in the thumbnail, but then I saw your expression and knew I was in for something insaneo style!

I feel so dam proud for you after seeing your head shot technique being implemented at the highest level. I can only imagine how you feel about it on top of all your other contributions.

So cool that Karl himself is part of the history of their world records. Including that really makes these videos wholesome.

Honestly Karl, your my favourite RU-vid channel. Any time I see you uploaded, I genuinely am happy I'll have something interesting to watch that night. Keep it up Karl!

Legend has it Rayan Isran already achieved the 18 and 17 sec WR's. He's just hording them for when someone comes within a second of him again

Damn, another Karl Jobst banger before I go to sleep at an unreasonable hour? What a blessing.

You don't need to make thumbnails like that Karl

Absolutely love your content, thank you!

This is awesome GoldenEye history. Congratulations on your world records. I can't imagine being good enough to set a world record in any game and I love games play em everyday. Awesome video!

No karl, you are the absolute legend.

keep up the good work!

Loving the uploads dude.

I really enjoy how u build up the thrill in ur videos, always a pleasure, chapeau from vienna

See you all in a few months when the "he was cheating all along" video comes out.

wtf is that thumbnail lol

I know this video might not have as many views as your more viral topics, so thank you so much for making it! To hear from a perspective that literally nobody else on earth can have at the moment is so awesome.

Those are some delicious one taps of the cameras. Amazing how there's always a little bit more to squeeze out in speedruns, even when it seems impossible.
