Mysterious speedrunner breaks records... then vanishes without a trace.

[@gabrielgodinho3187]

Not a mysterious speedrunner, but a mysterious speed chess player: In 2001, grand master Nigel Short, then #2 blitz player of the world, lost 8 online rapid games against an unknown player. No one has ever taken credit for these wins. Some believe it was a programmer with a strong chess computer. Others, including Short, believe the mysterious player was former world champion Bobby Fischer, then a recluse. There're evidences to both sides.

[@estebanembroglio6371]

@@GamerFolklore Short asked the mysterious player during the game if he knew Armano Acevedo, a not-very-well-known chess master from Fischer's era. The player replied almost immediately, "Siegen 1970", which was the year and location of a tournament where Fischer played Acevedo. The reply was given too quick to have been looked up, so the player either had an encyclopedic knowledge of Fischer's chess career, or it was the man himself.

[@anentiresleeveoforeos2087]

This applies to a lot of things. A few years ago our studio was contracted to do the visuals and animation for a kids' show, something we had never done before; everything else was to be handled by a subsidiary of the property's owners who, probably due to the sizable investment into the project, opted to send everyone on their end who was involved in the show's actual production to be with us in person. This was fine and it wasn't too unusual to be put in this situation but this particular case was notable for how thorough they were in assuring the show's marketability. Anyways, so production has started and we're getting barked at by a bunch of directors to do "this!" and "that!", that sort of thing. Compromising between artistic integrity and corporate meddling always sucks and although you understand it's necessary you still end up feeling fairly resentful and sometimes, as in this case, can end up acting fairly unprofessional. So one day we're doing our work and getting reprimanded by the brass, the usual shenanigans, when a high-rank employee from the client company comes in to do an overview of our work so far. It's pretty standard stuff so everyone is mostly sticking to their paper and screens doing whatever. Out of nowhere though the whole space it just reverberating with conflicting shouts and even a scream. I was a sort-of supervisor at the time so I went to go see what was going on when I find one of their directors and two of our animators/designers arguing with each other while the client is standing there watching this unfold. I go into damage control mode, apologize to the director and find out that they have differing opinions on some minor design choice, something inconsequential. We're sorting it out right when the client steps forward and very intently analyzes the work on the screen; if you've never had to deal with a service/client situation before then be assured that this is one of the most stressful things a client can do. We all, even the director (who technically works with the client), go silent and anxiously stare at him. It's a minute before he breaks the lack of sound by listing the problems he has with the design... and then he does so for all the other designs, the backgrounds, the animation, everything. He very methodically rips apart our hard work and tells us why it's not good enough for the show and why kids won't like it. He then gives us very elaborate and specific advice with examples and personal anecdotes on what kids like, what they don't like and how we should go about implementing changes. He correctly guesses who does and doesn't have kids just by how their designs look (genuinely impressive considering he did this probably 7 times and was right about all of them), explains that he has a few kids and a bunch of grandkids and that we should spend some more time with our own kids, our cousins, nieces and nephews if we got them. Really cool guy, gave solid advice that we probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise and wouldn't have figured out ourselves. He really helped improve our capacity to work on projects with very specific demographics. Also sorry for the rant, just thought it was relevant. Whoops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mind you, computer Go at the time was extraordinarily weak, so he was most certainly genuine. There was absolutely no way to cheat back then.

(Little) Bo Peep is a British nursery rhyme and also a peekaboo game for children. Peekaboo is obviously a game of now-you-see-it-now-you-don't. On Bo Peep's "Masquerade" KZbin video , the description apparently jokingly rips the NTSC version of the game. NTSC N64 games have a higher framerate than PAL games-which are used in western Europe. Eurocom, a British company, developed TWINE to be the fastest first-person game on N64, focusing on framerate rate and technical aspects. The game closely follows the film but the 'Underground Uprising' level was not from the Bond film at all, rather it was added for game design. Wyster's "luckfest" bomb defusal explanation is leaving out the possibility of a generally unknown mechanic. My conclusion: Bo Peep is not a former British developer for the game-it's late and i need to go to bed.

There have to be some who thought that "it's not the right way"? 2) The history about the controller, how did 1.1, 1.2 and so on get invented, how was the reception on a new "version"? What about when some did begin to use two controllers, was that considered cheating or "not playing the game right"? Who did invent the different versions, what provoked these inventions, were there versions that never got accepted, were to difficult or simply never ought on?

"This is the true story, of...BoPeep!" *laughter ensues*

Mentioning privacy while youtube asks for either my ID or credit card

[@natejoe9924]

If anybody is a speedrunner in the chat I respect y'all even you that owns this channel 💯

[@Tankotater]

Was really hoping near the end Goose would say something like... "now it's time to pull up the curtain. I am Bo Peep..." and that's it. just ends lol

[@twizz420]

TWINE was a great game. I thought it was the perfect next step from Goldeneye.

[@ralsei3554]

You know he's probably watching this grinning

[@RasAnnunaki]

Maybe he was the famous Taku Anuda Sukoru ?

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

People trying to tie the name "Bopeep" to Toy Story is hilarious. Like, the name "Bopeep" existed LONG before Toy Story did lol

[@trucid2]

He may have found a trick to keep the bomb from exploding. Too unlikely to be just luck.

Some of us just have a really different perspective on the overall hobby of gaming and what we find rewarding about things that speed runners typically do. I do some pretty crazy and interesting gameplay performance for a tiny little dedicated community of people who share my niche interests and fascinations. To most viewers here, I might come across as one of those weirdos who invents random categories for personal satisfaction, only I don't try pushing them toward the mainstream communities like I think anyone will care. What I do is genuinely interesting to the few people who follow me, but I just feel like it's not worth going out of my way spreading my stuff everywhere, casting a wide net over a large number of people knowing it will only come back having caught one or two if I'm lucky.

@Fuck Google I don't remember seeing you at that stream... but you're welcome! ;3

[@zoidsfan12]

There are a fair amount of people like this that just really want to remain anonymous. That don't want to put themselves out there. Personally I'm just not that personality type, I prefer to get myself out there and be recognized. But even some of my friends pretty much don't want to be bothered and thus have no presence online at all, and I can respect that because it gets tiring having to clear friends requests on steam because I exploited a bug during the steam summer sale and got to lvl 100 (which causes bots and people to friend you just based on you being a high level). And there are many times that I just have to take a break from the internet, so I can understand those that want to cordon themselves off.

[@purplecatjake]

I've considered doing low profile speedrunning. Maybe not nearly as mysterious as bopeep but still like practicing before submitting any attempts

[@TheSmashingDoc1]

imagine you remember your last inkarnations, and at some point you start to speedrun life

[@neil340]

So basically a guy speedran a game that not many people did, thought he would get a bunch of world records, but quickly had them all taken away and then said screw it and quit.

[@strangewasya]

...And considering that this video was made it seems that he was completely right in his actions. After all, there are quite a few people who completely despise what internet nowadays has become, with all this "tie your real-life identity to your online one" bullshit.

[@TailsClock]

"No one has seen or heard from Bopeep" Not a peep?

[@lilarreola27]

Has to be the Legend Denis Lucid

[@AJ-xv7oh]

I like eating Rice Krispies whilst watching these videos.

[@SarahConnor618]

If he worked for pixar maybe he faked it completely haha

[@mauriciocamposnoemi9721]

I heard he was recruited by cicada because of his skills to defuse bombs quickly.

[@bsharpmajorscale]

If not an alt account, there's also the possibility it was someone from a country with more restrictive attitudes towards the internet, media, et al. Don't know why they wouldn't have gone for a different, "larger" video hosting site.

[@mpg272727]

Would laugh so hard if bo peep turned out to be one of the elite 1 percent of north koreans with internet access who for some reason took an interest in speedrunning

[@colbyvanquished7708]

I think it's an iguana who just isn't ready for fame

[@steakcrust558]

I always wondered why the world is not enough wasnt ran, than I watched your dope video on pause buffering.

[@vjm3]

Some people don't want the fame. They just want to see how far people will dive in to the rabbit hole.

[@trickstabber8117]

He didn't just vanish from speedrunning, he vanished from the most degenerate act man has ever come up with.

[@loyalugoff6479]

His name was Robert Paulson

[@LuccyLuc]

How do you know?

[@johnmarionesantos275]

@@LuccyLuc he's memeing, that's a line from Fight Club

[@kemp10]

Little Bo Peep is an age old nursery rhyme dating back who knows when sir

[@NoClipMode]

Exactly. It's from at least the early 1800's and it's still popular today. It's like, at least do some research before making a video...

[@MoneyManHolmes]

But leaving the “Little” off the name was pretty much unheard of before Toy Story.

[@hedesonpeter8471]

any chance you do a video on odissey? there's been some glitch discoveries recently, and the minimum captures is 3, maybe it could be a interesting video. stay true and keep up with the remarkable videos!

[@112ghostclown]

Saying the Bo Peep with danish accent feels good, could it be? MR?!

[@PrinceofFreshia]

BoPeep is probably watching this video... From a secret base
