[@local-admin]

Can I say your ad transition was gold.

[@Luigi64]

Pretty crazy how Bethesda's team implemented a hello fresh in game delivery service back in 2006. It took a while longer until modders added dominos delivery in oblivion (this is a real mod)

[@ShadyPlatinum777]

Bethesda have always been forward thinking so it’s no surprise

[@DoctorSwellman]

Pretty crazy how screwed up physics for an item can lead to something as cool as this. Great video!

[@osirisatot19]

I'm guessing all Bethesda games have weird speedruns like this because of the engine and physics.

[@NoahGooder]

@@osirisatot19 nvm speedrunning itself, but all games made by beth that use the same general engine have these issues.

[@LordOOTFD]

The item jumping from ~5mins looks like the precursor to the modern VLC clipping used in Fallout 4 runs, it's amusing seeing the same engine quirks persisting all this time.

[@ItsJabo]

The under-city door in Oblivion is one of the coolest secrets/exploits in the entire arsenal of Bethesda games. Love that you made a video covering it.

[@jasonblalock4429]

10:13 It's a little thing, but the way he casually bullseyes the assassin mid-jump is just *beautiful.*

[@y0LAs_]

Nice video! At the beginning you say that the sole intended purpose for the paintbrush is to be sold, but it's worth 0 gold, so I would say its only purpose is for decoration ^^

[@dukemagus]

10:00 "and this is where things with Oblivion NPCs start to defy reality" You say that after starting a video with stairs made of paint brushes frozen in place and making a guy run for twelve hours without pause without him even knowing who you are?

[@dave-kt7sj]

The chair saving with load warping is called "saddling". If you load warp without a saddle, you just go through the door like normal, with whatever character you loaded.

[@AmalgamJiena]

Ah, so this is where the splatoon developers got the idea of going fast with paintbrushes.

[@WretchedRedoran]

As both a diehard Elder Scrolls *and* Splatoon fan, this gives me a hearty chuckle.

[@kylecoulombe7890]

This channel is super underrated.

[@DavidWonn]

Sitting in a chair... using paintbrushes... All that's missing is Bob Ross.

[@Sannspoof]

Playing through Oblivion and picking up every paintbrush was one of my favorite gaming experiences.

[@medea27]

I imagine the game devs would be so conflicted about speedruns like these... on the one hand, you've invested all this time & effort into ironing out all the wrinkles in your game, only to have a bunch of players uncover glitches they can use to short-cut all that gameplay. On the other hand, you've captured the hearts & minds of a player group who are willing to invest an insane amount of time into playing your game but finding _their own ways_ to play it... giving it longevity. What an interesting conundrum!

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Its not like they pick up a game and crack it open immediately. Some games are more breakable than others but it all still takes a solid time investment and knowledge of how the game progresses.

[@0xGRIDRUNR]

man i gotta give you credit for that ad transition, ya got me real good there

[@IsoYear]

my favorite, made me laugh so hard haha

[@williamlyon5553]

Same I was so excited to see what it was!

[@SpeedrunningSimplified]

It's absolutely incredible how many great stories can come from completely random and at first glance, relatively useless items. Great work as usual!

[@TheThirdPrice]

The thumbnail art is so cute!!!

[@raymiller1753]

I've never said anything like this before.. But, I'm gonna sub just because of the way you transitioned into the sponsor segment. That was gold. I can tell already, I'm going to like this channel.

[@osirisatot19]

This and Dragon Age: Origins are like my favorite games ever. I got it on PS3 when it first launched on that and I pretty quickly found out about all the weird stuff you could do with the game.

[@superparadox]

1:04 i guess you could say it was actually... groundMAKING

[@Abyssoft]

This is the joke the video needed

[@jacobtrapp3772]

Alright, you got me on that ad read. Bravo sir, bravo

[@daniellassander]

What i want to see is a speedrunner saying "after subscribing to Abyssoft my PB's have gone down a lot" :)

[@Helena-dg3dh]

I can't believe they found Ganondoor in Oblivion.

[@Magavynhigara]

Ok that segway was internet historian level good.

[@FoMScratch]

What an amazing ad. Compliments an amazing video.

[@patricklaune5712]

How speedrunners beat... my favorite content

[@ArnieMcStranglehold]

oh my god that sponsor deviation was masterful.

[@tripple-a6031]

The paintbrush is such an infamous item as well as the run itself and the door that leads straight to the end of the game.

[@SirSevy]

I always did the duplication trick with arrows not across. Just draw bow back and then while drawn drop item to be duped. Then let the arrow go and it spawns as many arrows as you have

[@NPOCrushader]

That was one smooth ad, great job and great video!

[@-whiskey-4134]

I did that dupe glitch once with with watermelons. There were so many my game froze for about 10 minutes then lagged for another like 6-7. Then all kf a sudden it was back to normal minus the 20k watermelons flying in every direction.

[@AlexRiversMusic]

Love this game!

[@purekaidell]

You totally got me with that ad read 😅

[@jglaab]

This product placement actually snapped my neck clean off

[@justinbrooks6807]

I used a similar glitch on the Xbox you have a quiver with 99 arrows and it drops 99 of whatever items you selected on the ground in front

[@thewolfofthestars1847]

This game runs on literal troll physics I can't

[@JLocker]

Cool video man!

[@raafmaat]

I thoroughly enjoy glitches in speedruns, but i dont know about save-loading continually, is there a category for ALL glitches except load glitch? ^^

[@Abyssoft]

They do have a no out of bounds category that features some other glitches and huge amounts of skooma abuse

[@raafmaat]

@@Abyssoft i love out of bounds tho, i just dont really like saving-loading :P

[@PhoxjawVA]

That sponsor insert was slick as fk.

[@matthewbrantner798]

oh I thought this was a glitch unique to my save. I thought I'd found the most powerful item in all of Tamriel. oh well, it was still super fun to play around with.

[@awiseman93]

You give amazing hellofresh ads but we need to see you try to get a WR speed running a HelloFresh recipe ha

[@johnpatton7533]

And this whole time I've run around grinding levels like a chump lol

[@atab6555]

Im sure this makes perfect sense

[@deckbuildergeneral]

Now THAT is how you do an ad pivot! 10/10, no notes

[@Dargorthverse]

I wonder how much quicker you can beat oblivion with alternative start mods? Under a minute?

[@tmi1234567]

Ahhh yes this is wonderful....

[@andrewpool2014]

Too bad "Peppy", the magical paintbrush was not included in Skyrim. I'd cart her around with my two other favorite items: "Bobby" the bucket from Helgen Keep, and "Woody" the wooden plate.

[@bargiona]

Finally a segue for a sponsor that can rival Linus', from LTT.

[@xsealentseafoodcompany188]

I want Bickdonalds

[@CakeAddict]

"But even masterpieces have bugs" Lmao it is a Bethesda game. Their games are a stack of bugs in a trenchcoat. Seconds later "Except to be sold" shows a screen of the paintbrush being worth 0 septims. A good video but the intro to this video had me laughing.

[@StepBaum]

Good video :)

[@RootVegetabIe]

"One of the greatest games ever made" "Masterpiece" Oblivion wasn't even the best RPG from 2007.

[@liamnoname6662]

Shut up bozo, Oblivion is a masterpiece

[@naf8787]

Fix the level scaling and u got urself one of the best RPG's ever made imo

[@joshuabryant9845]

Because it's from 2006.

[@Darkling665]

So there is no bucket glitch in oblivion? ._.

[@keystep8669]

I adore Oblivion. The game has so many stupid bugs in it lol

[@SilentVinyl]

neat

[@matthewkeen6281]

nice,

[@l9m241]

"An items purpose is meant to be sold" not really. It has a value of 0 so it's worthless in that regard lmao. Still a fun glitch to mess with though.

[@AvsJoe]

Okay, I'll admit, that Hello Fresh segue got me laughing. Great gag!

[@dantefree3837]

speedrunners don't watch credits

[@feelincrispy7053]

I dunno but load warps are lame

[@Poisonjam7]

Don’t hide your ads in the script like that. Not cool.

An ad into in ad nice one man. I might unsub.
