Anyone can fuck up a speedrun, but it takes a certain skill to fuck up so hard that you invent new strategies.

[@Destiny2Seishi]

Is it skill or luck that enabled her to use the "fail forward" technique though???

Nope just fucking up

Shen is really underrated as a content creator. She's really genuine and, it's really rare to find someone like her on YT nowadays. Keep it up Shen! You've got some Polish fans as well :D.

[@pizzatime9261]

Not to sound rude but I wouldn't say 675K+ subs is "underrated". That said, I hope she joins other gaming KZbinrs in the 1M+ sub gang as I do think a lot of people should watch her content.

PLEASE spend more time with Ray holy crap. I've been a fan of his forever and he's great solo but he's PERFECT when bouncing off someone and Shen, you're literally the best one for it. Your sheer Chaotic Stupid Energy (with an OBSCENE LUCK STAT BECAUSE OF IT) is the exact stuff he used to have to deal with in Achievement Hunter and you alone are like, Michael, Gavin and Geoff all in one package. Shen, keep up the good work, good job with the Shen Strat (by the way, another LPer, OTG coined the term "How to Successfully Fail" as his playthrough titles and that totally fits what just happened in this run), and PLEASE do more of these. This was friggin hilarious from start to finish.

8:36 “WOMEN GOT IT TOO EASY” is the best line to me

The Shen Strats. How could one forget the Shen Strats? Seriously this was a blast, and I'll always be glad I always believed in Shen. I didn't win much on the bet but the result was just satisfying to watch, along w/ Froob and Ray losing their minds, of course 😂
