Vinny does Wikipedia Speedruns #1

[@markjordan7557]

If Vinny could read, these comments would make him pretty upset

[@Pasakoye]

Vinny that was considered TAS only.

[@kflemonice]

Hello Vinny, the creator of human knowledge here, glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing more knowledge from you!

[@guydude439]

Thanks for inventing human knowledge, I got at least 200 hours on it in steam

[@chaImers]

Can you add an easier path to faster than light travel

[@lerquian1970]

Man, I'm so hyped for human knowledge 2

[@Yourname942]

if this is true, you shouls show the hyperlink text chain (to see how you got from the starting point to end point) as a summary at the end of a round.

[@daanthedoctor]

when's the next update we've been waiting for ages???!?!

[@tatapnhob]

14:07 i was drilling that molecular modeling link with my eyes so hard i thought i was gonna leave a hole in my screen

[@tatapnhob]

i can't take it it's smack dab in the middle of the page at almost all times

[@miserirken]

he even passed the mouse arrow over it several times

[@chefmike8177]

vinny may be the most visually impaired streamer. i have yet to see a streamer who misses things to the extent that vinny vinesauce does

[@Scum42]

at 11:25, there was a link to Hydroflouric Acid's structure in JSmol. Could have been even better.

[@Laikadaisical]

and then at 15:06 scrolling past a link to "molecular design software" I'm losing my mind

[@ScooterCat64]

This is just like Blue's Clues when Steve can't see the paw print

[@SpingotGoomer]

"What's your favorite Vinesauce vid?" "Oh, you know, the one where he reads Wikipedia for an hour straight"

[@Awesomeamh99]

Vinny has created the nerd equivalent to those phone game ads where they play bad, i have to play it now.

[@sgas]

RIGHT?

[@TC_EHGL]

Watching Vinny try to find Jmol and scrolling past "molecular modelling" like a billion times was so infuriating. Yes, Vinny, I was in fact screaming at the TV the entire time.

[@crackedemerald4930]

you were like football dad

[@RickWhitechest]

He scrolled past Jmol itself a few times and still went to other pages. I roared.

[@hideus_ex9222]

-"Is Greece in Europe?" That's a contender for Vinesauce quote of the year.

[@Quasarbooster]

It's geoguessr all over again

[@TehCakeIzALie1]

I mean, ask the Greeks and you'll get at least three different answers.

[@rodrigoparra123]

​@@TehCakeIzALie1 From the same greek

[@diacetylmorphines]

It’s obviously easy to know because Greece and Europe in general are both fucking pathetic laughingstocks.

Vinny is not beating the american alegations

[@Scott...]

Gotta love how he clicked every link except molecular modelling on the Jmol one

[@SWISS-1337]

Yeah, I noticed that too ha. Pretty hilarious, especially because he still somehow stumbled across it ha

[@ponpokopiii]

I think it's even more amusing that on his first visit there, he scrolls too fast and misses a Jmol link as well.

[@WorldsNotFound]

MOLECULAR MODELING VINNY IT'S RIGHT THERE

[@polarknight5376]

It was on literally every page he went to.

[@WorldsNotFound]

@@polarknight5376 YEAH LOLLLL

[@josecarlosalvarezhuerta3786]

Literally made me tweak

[@Evaisa]

I hate the fact that i saw a link to JSmol on the hydrofluoric acid page which would have immediately completed the run.

[@xxthelinkxx3296]

Biny simply doesnt know chemistry 🗿

[@HolyKrap92]

Pretty much every chemical links to Jmol on the side bar lol

[@eatmyfrigginshorts]

not seeing molecular modelling for several minutes in the chemistry box wounded me

[@ryanlutes9833]

I'm more annoyed at the fact that he was specifically tunnel-visioning chemical structure, and missed it multiple times at the bottom of the structural chemistry page.

[@lShadowdark]

TBF in other subjects is not common to put credits of it like that (if you take a picture of a building you credit the author not the camera model), so its completely unexpected to look one in there

[@eletric_shower]

The English Major showing his skills again

[@goodshowmanythanks]

The sheer lack of contextual awareness has shattered my bones and left me a decrepit husk

[@seuake]

was about to comment smth like that lol

[@CorruptedDogg]

Immediately gets served an article about the English language, has to look up what it means

[@Hithere-uz6wd]

As if anyone watching would do any better which they would but they would also be wasting their time

[@Forever_Zero]

30:44 He blinded "English" so hard. Just imagine if he played this live, the backseating would be legendary

[@diacetylmorphines]

Yeah, as though all of the blinded backseaters would be able to provide any amount of information.

[@MapleBeeSticky]

"The English major that can't read"

[@masterowl123]

@@diacetylmorphines youtube commenters slandering vinny's chat is always funny in an ironic sense

[@Slvrgs]

I can't believe how hard he blinded molecular modeling. He even had the cursor right next to it. SMH my head.

[@Bunster]

I cant believe you said "shaking my head my head"

[@seto007]

The funny thing is he didn't even technically blind it. He even said the name out loud but just chose not to click it

[@Slvrgs]

@@Bunster That's the joke.

[@ElSuperNova23]

@@Bunster first day on the internet huh, dw we all learn some day

[@kflemonice]

Seriously if only he would just scan the entire section for keywords and not give up after reading 2 lines lol

[@KirbyMario12345_939]

It's like there was a giant invisible barrier around the molecular modelling link in that template that physically prevented Vinyost from looking past it and seeing the link.

[@vladyslavsmirnov1875]

I’m emotionally attached to Jmol now

[@Rainquack]

I see Van Halen → Bread, and my brain goes: "Paneeera, paneeera-ah!"

[@Ub3rGr00SS]

That sounds like a killer Olive Garden commercial

[@ARDIZsq]

Vinny really is the type of person to, instead of scanning ALL of the rows of links, scan the same row of 6-10 links about 10 times before going "Yep, don't think it's here."

[@EndyHawk]

[@RubænCaptor]

Man, I can't wait for Summoning Salt to make the History of Wikipedia any%, and how Vinny Vinesauce found out a new strat that changed the speedruns forever

[@Konarcoffee]

That would be the end of our story, but in 2024 the mind behind grey Leno would unexpectedly change the world of History of Wikipedia speedrunning FOREVER

[@Zenbrey]

@@Konarcoffee It was first believed that reaching the paranormal page in 3 Clicks would be impossible. But then, Leno did THIS:

[@NekkoBlue]

52:13 dude couldn’t resist a casual “let’s check it out”

[@poorsoul8492]

CHECK IT OUT!

[@sgas]

one of my fav bits for sure

[@a-ug9yk]

now let's go check it out

[@titania49]

The Jmol section was frustrating because I saw “molecular modeling” multiple times before he finally found it lmao

[@emilemil1]

Vinny's English major will definitely prove its value here.

[@duckie070]

I'm feeling enraged and enthused at the same time, it's like a trainwreck you can't stop watching.

[@Odyanii]

When he said that the Alien page would probably help him get to Jmol I said "How??" but then the literal next page did in fact have a link to Jmol. Should've trusted your gut Vinny

[@ManiakMonkey]

Who up Modeling their Moleculars?

[@2000newyearseve]

watching him pass jsmol and molecular modeling so many times actually made me lose it. thank you mr sauce

[@SegmentW]

The background music in this video is incredible

[@frukoDarKeL]

21:17 for a second he even put the cursor on it. 🤦

[@DogsRNice]

Binyot is illiterate confirmed

[@mattm5803]

lmao

[@Akumzz]

finally he is a wikipedia speedrunner

[@8lacKhawKtheRIPPER]

The real reason why Vibdy didn't stream this live was not the possibility of va-jjs but rather because chat would've practically been screaming at him the entire time

[@arfdinglare]

everyone's talking about the JMol blind but I just want to throw in that "A Greek-English Lexicon" is on the page for "Comparison of Ancient Greek dictionaries"; like two scrolls up and that woulda been that

[@JacobKinsley]

The way vinny is on a page about molecular structures while looking for jsmol and is panicking so bad that he can't find it that the link he clicks is just the page for 'chemistry' is so funny

[@brazilian_oak]

25:58 He finally came to Brazil

[@peralynth]

I kept on being like, “Oh I can’t believe Vinny didn’t see that, it’s so obvious!” But then I realized that if I were in his shoes I would be even worse at this. All-in-all, I think he did pretty good.

[@ProxAuthReq]

11:22 JSmol right there...

[@rojorum2433]

That's what I was saying

[@skyshunts]

Bro needs glasses

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

This looks like a legendary game for staying awake during the night shift.

How did he not see Molecular modelling in Theoretical branch...

[@overwatch1774]

Beware the Van Halen to bread pipeline.

[@Cmanorange]

i hope mad clown is watching, this is great poop fodder

[@lithium444]

I can't wait for Vinny to make Wikipedia speedruns famous like he did with FnF and Infinite Craft and his world renowned snorting clip

[@beatnik6806]

I remember when people came up with this game in 4chan over 10 years ago lol. you had to click "random article" and find the certain evil European mustache man. You always found him in like 5 clicks and that was the whole joke.

[@lolzforlunch]

Only Vincenzo could find a way for people to backseat on a prerecorded stream about 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon

[@MrKitrid]

Ah yes, quite a notable work of modern Greek literature: A Greek-English Lexicon, published in 1843 by the Oxford University Press.

[@itryen7632]

Vinny basically did what i do every sunday morning after a nice cup of coffee and a hard, vigorous bong rip.

[@BlunterSales]

starting off strong with Mario Paint music

[@fresh218]

Honestly not bad for a first few attempts at Wikipedia speedrunning, good job Vinny!

[@lasarousi]

Vinny is like that guy that geo guesses places withing seconds, but with crunchy Wikipedia articlesv and crusty English.

[@eddyspaghetti6211]

I can hear Vinny’s friends yelling at him for playing Wikipedia instead of Undertale

[@bsodcat]

Cannot believe this, what a beautiful career shift for vinny and we’ll always be here for him ❤

[@colly6022]

almost every chemical on wikipedia has a jsmol link... it's literally how people share molecular structures with each other!

[@jaypetrequin9012]

When he said "having fun?" more than 50 minutes in I instantly looked up to go "yes vinny!" enthusiastically in real life

[@aflatchestedyandere5483]

Me screaming "WORDS" and shortly after vinny calling me out hahaha classic vinny and his fortune teller powers

Vinny really was at war with East Asia the whole time

[@cart89]

40:17 You were so close, it was "Greeklish", then "Comparison of Ancient Greek dictionaries", an there was the A Greek-English lexicon

[@seaharrierfrs1]

I can almost hear the Gregory Brothers commentating over this wonderful solo act of Wiki War-ing

[@itsnick37]

I’m just watching for the music

[@SpicyAvocado]

Vinny that run changed my life

[@JackMacWindows]

This is one of those "scream at the TV"-type VODstreams, huh?

[@olliepop2282]

I would watch more of this

[@burgerpocalypse]

next week, i hope we get a 3 hour video of vincent using an encyclopedia collection to gather research for a 12 page single space report on land wars in asia

[@EnviedShadow]

I wish he'd streamed this just so I could see the chat when he asked if Greece is in Europe lol

on the edge of my seat the hole time thinking "melpert....."

Duuude this is the last thing I was expecting but I'm SO here for it!

"Is Greece in Europe?" Vinny, your English Degree is showing. I would love more of this, and I'd understand if they're only prerecorded

[@warmCabin]

My computer's reall high end, it's got molecular graphics

[@RacheltheRad]

I really enjoyed this! I love seeing the way our brains network to conclusions, so it was fun playing the same prompts as Vinny and comparing our results.

[@Soxviper]

There should be a mode where it's just based on amount of links clicked.

[@darkangel9551]

never thought I would hear Nepal in a vinesauce video

[@OvAeons]

These speed runs are a corrosion test of the mind.

[@mault1998]

Im not a bot who has big boobs, but I appreciate the content non the less

[@daanthedoctor]

[@michaelwashboard2323]

just immediately watch that a bot grabs this comment, and inflate its like count. Those type of bots are really annoying.

[@TakeNoShift]

from ISBN to Madonna in 2 clicks is CRAZY

[@SWISS-1337]

At least Vinny didn't choose an absolutely insane music choice to accompany this video of stress, as we see the word 5 pages before Vinny, oh wait... In seriousness it's easier when we're not doing it, as the task causes you to become narrow focused.

[@lesprit...]

Actually started to fall asleep during the jmol part but the song at 18:42 startled me awake. It sure is the most exciting video of all time vinny.

[@mysticdigital5936]

Very fun one, Vinny. I haven't used this application, but I've always enjoyed playing/watching this "degrees of separation" game with wikipedia. It's a fun time seeing where you can go with the countless pages of information of varying degrees of specificity. The chemistry one was painful when there were so many obvious links he overlooked. It happens though
