[@user-uv2cp1qd1j]

Far too many video game records are speedruns, which are extremely subject to change. That’s why there’s so many “First ___ “ that are super specific.

This feels like that gaming magazine Caddicarus reviewed years ago. It feels like it was made by people who don’t play video games trying to cash in on what’s popular.

[@EruditeFeline]

This really kept me entertained while cleaning my room. This channel is my current favorite background noise.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

- this has peak "Teacher trying to sound hip with the Youths" energy & i kinda love it - Speedrun records are kinda silly considering how competitive the scene is & how often records get beaten - so many of these "First to [blank]" records make me go "WAIT! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OF THAT?!" - i guess "prolific" in the context of Party games means actually surviving and not just dumping 40 games on the Wii - Daisy & Luigi aren't a thing!! In fact she never really met Luigi until the Sports games - the Sonic Twitter has NEVER tried to be in-character - weirdly enough, i can think of at least 5 videogame swords bigger than the Buster Sword, 3 of them are from Dark Souls 2

[@Mimi.1001]

I guess Speedrun records are just nice to look at for people not too deep into the scene, like "You can beat [game] THAT fast?!". Plus they are actual legit records which isn't guaranteed with the oddly specific first to do X records as you point out. It's not too dissimilar to records in sports I suppose, those are getting beaten too from time to time, although much less frequently since humans can only do so much.

[@Cami454.g]

Well tbf, there is that statue of Luigi and daisy in mario kart wii daisy circut.

[@Garnox_]

I've seen clip of a guy cosplaying as Dante from devil may cry hold a really really big sword inside a subway. it looked just as big as the final fantasy one

[@LordArikado]

If you wanna get technical about big video game swords (and we know Guinness loves their technicalities), any sword wielded by a Megazord in any Power Rangers game is bigger than Cloud's sword by default. Also, isn't Sephiroth's sword WAY bigger than Cloud's in the same game?

[@ggnicklu]

This is incredible! Back in 2019 I believe it was Scott himself who got me into this book. I used to be a strictly Nintendo fan and all that wasn't Nintendo I would turn my back to, but Scott's videos also mentioned all the other companies and he said great things about all of the consoles and I learned a lot by it, so I decided I wanted to branch out on my gaming trivia knowledge, so I found this book in a bookshop and bought it for myself. Crazy how the years have passed and now we've come full circle.

[@BugsyFoga]

Hey, it’s the book series that Tommy Talerico got a totally legit record in of guy who’s worked on the most games in a lifetime, his mother must be very proud.

22:11 Seeing Sally Acorn in the book was so surreal, especially since this was after the whole Archie Comics drama or whatever. The image of her is from issue 221, which was right before the reboot. I believe Ian Flynn wrote that story if anyone's interested and is pretty much the last romance-type piece of Sonic media since. I recommend giving it a read, just from a historical view, as it makes Sonic fans seem marginally less weird, given what Sonic once was.

[@Nilon241]

Yeah this 'fact' is weird, random image of Sonic Boom Amy and late IDW Sally. At least they aren't going back to the Penders era of romance...

[@AlecMac]

@Nilon241 *Late Archie But yeah. Penders was unhinged, I'll give you that, however, in an odd way he set up some really good stories for later writers like Flynn, at least in my opinion.

[@LordArikado]

@@AlecMac But does he really get credit for coming up with terrible ideas that later, more competent writers managed to salvage?

[@AlecMac]

@LordArikado I give him some credit. Not a lot, but hey, it makes explaining Sonic lore to friends more interesting.

[@maccamachine]

I love these type of videos just looking through something

[@BedBuggy]

I remember constantly reading these in elementary and the only thing I remember was that one of them used a scrapped boss for Cuphead on a top 5 boss list

[@ethnol3842]

This video is weirdly nostalgic for me as in my head I still feel like most of the games in this book came out fairly recently, but it turns out that these all came out 4+ years ago. Time flies.

[@tartarsocks]

glad Scott was able to pick up this amazing book written by the one and only Tommy Tallarico

[@toadboy7493]

When the teacher said it’s required reading time and you pulled this shed out they’d just let out a deep sigh and look down

[@Mr_Mimestamp]

3:21 never thought I’d see Scott acknowledge the existence of Bowsette.

[@G00SEdaGoos3]

Someday we'll see Scott on Guinness World Records for having the most games

[@Game-BeatX14]

The Amazon listing for this book has an option to buy a hardcover version (used), so I guess not all of the copies are paperback.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

The fact we got a whole Luigi page makes me happy

[@georgejpg]

Portal and Portal 2, with their female lead, undoubtably outsold HZD. As of 2012 they sold a combined 8 million physical units (Roughly 50/50 between them). They've consistently been some of the best selling games on Steam ever since they released, so I assume they're well beyond 20 million by now.

[@brunoberti8790]

Acording to Playstation Oficial blog HZD has sold over 24 million copies and that's just one game

[@georgejpg]

@@brunoberti8790 That might be so, but the book was published in 2020 when it only sat at 8 million. Portal and Portal 2 had absolutely sold more copies at the time

[@Paccyd33]

These books used to be hype high quality records and now they just write fun facts and disguise them as records. One was like ‘first jrpg character to have a scent named after them’. That’s not a record

[@MorphBaller388]

Yeah, they’re really crappy books

[@LonkinPork]

Reminder that the reason Guinness, the beer company, started cataloguing World Records in various feats in the first place, was so that people in bars had a third-party authority they could turn to when trying to settle bar bets.

[@Kylekashi]

00:50:57 That transition from "who's the competition here" to Snake is just perfect

[@ajzeg01]

Some of these straight-up got information wrong. They called Ash Ketchum a video game character. Ash isn’t in the Pokemon games, he was created for the anime. They get his backstory wrong too, it says he was given Pikachu as punishment for being late to class? I don’t remember that from the show.

[@sadisticmaxwell]

17:58 - Guiness World Records are played, love. You can pay them a couple dozen thousand dollars to get a record. It’s rather well known.

HL2E3 and HL3 were both cancelled. HL3 was re-started and re-cancelled at least 2 more times. The cancellations weren't very official, people just stopped working on it.

[@LordArikado]

The real answer to "where's HL3" is probably more basic than most fans want to admit: Valve realized they could make far more money running Steam than they ever did when developing AAA games.

[@georgejpg]

@@LordArikado No, the reason that no follow-up to HL2E2 ever got released had nothing to do with the success of Steam. Just because that is a simple and plausible explanation doesn't mean that it is a correct one. Many Valve devs have talked about why we never got a follow-up to HL2E2 and Steam never comes up. They lacked confidence in their ability to release a game that didn't have any new exciting gimmick behind it. HL1 championed seamless level design and first person cutscenes, while HL2 brought cutting edge graphics and physics simulation. Those are not easy to follow up on.

[@SASTSimon]

15:18 gordon freeman does not fit there but also does and thats amazing

[@huskenator857]

That Luigi for Mario 64 DS is incorrect, that’s just a reskin of the original Mario 64 Mario 19:21

I totally forgot about Google Stadia. Used to get a lot of ads for it during the pandemic. Happy it never took off, cloud gaming is just bad for future replay-ability.

[@MikeyInsanity]

The Baten Kaitos spedrun being so long will always amuse me. For those unaware, there is an item in the game that requires 2 real world weeks to create. So you basically just have to wait 2 weeks to 100% the game.

[@MorphBaller388]

You can really tell that this book was put together by people who know very little about video games. Obviously, it has very few facts and the ones that are in there are pretty common knowledge. As for the records themselves, hardly any of them are very notable or interesting. I’m sure somebody looking on like speed running websites or things like that would be able to find many more records and interesting bit of information than this book.

[@MizunoKetsuban]

So to clarify the Q-bert thing: There was *supposed* to be coherent phrases that Qbert would say aloud, but it was basically impossible with the limitations of the hardware so they just jumbled it up into nonsense. The exception to this is the "Bye Bye" when you game over, that was able to come through understandably enough. But I highly doubt the intent was ever actual swearing.

[@kdude2704]

I still have my 2009 version of this. Crazy to think they still make them.

[@MysteryMii]

I mean, the only reason why they’re still in business is by letting corporations and authoritarian regimes use them for publicity stunts.

[@TheFleaX]

I almost ended up in that book, a family member called Guinness about my video game collection, Guinness was interested till another collector also came out and took the title. at the time I had over 16,000 and he had over 20,000. Today I have just under 20,000 but I understand the record holder is still collecting is at 24,000. Maybe one day I'll catch up. lol
