[@Alexander_Sannikov]

it's one of those really rare speedruns that instead of breaking the game, just plays it really well the intended way

[@gottimw]

intended is a bit of a stretch :)

[@JandarLefey]

… mostly.

[@vordloras]

there are few not really intended mechanics, but he really plays it very well (all that pixel aiming takes A LOT of practice just to remember them all). i love how he talks about it and goes through the whole speed run explaining and giving some trivia. this should be titles "how to speed run without breaking the game and make it interesting to watch and listen" ps. bonus points for "crowd" behind cheering for some small victories

[@CarrowMind]

My favourite type of speedrun honestly, where you don't abuse ridiculous glitches and bugs to skip half the content, but instead play extremely well very fast. For this reason 100% glitcheless is my favourite category for any game as it's simply a showcase of skill as the developers intended.

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

What are other games like that? Please, name

[@lanychabot-laroche135]

This guy is a amazing at explaining what is happening and keeping it entertaining and very professionnal.

[@wafflebroz]

The amount of precision in this run is amazing

[@killerhurtalot]

the random wind and grenade timers swaps are ridiculous lol.

[@Kaiimei]

The fact there was such a small audience really hammered home for me how few people actually even remember Worms Armageddon.

[@poppy3318]

You're getting old.

[@ItsSansom]

Still the best Worms game hands down

[@canschultes8275]

You're right but I also think that many people were asleep because the run was at 5.30 am

[@EmberTheShark]

Great charismatic runner and impressive gameplay

[@avalonjustin]

No offense to the younger runners, but more older runners like this fellow would be cool👍

[@plaguedoct0r]

I just stopped by for a quick nostalgia hit, but this was a really well optimized speedrun. Watched the whole thing!

[@yrwestillhere]

This and Worms 2 were a big part of my childhood. Thank you guys for a great run!

[@Dragobrath]

This is insane. I played this game as a kid extensively and I understand amount of RNG in it. And pixel perfect manipulation of launches and explosions is insane... Great job.

[@itzhakdavidi2775]

What RNG has to do with this game?

[@xCANOCx]

@@itzhakdavidi2775 the bots sometimes land great shots or blow themselves up depending on rng

[@devilbob]

19:58 My life will never be the same.. Absolutely amazing move right there

[@hoobaguy4311]

I used to stay up all night on the weekends playing this online with 56k dial-up while I was in high school. The music and ambience brought back so many memories. Excellent game and a great run. Thank you!

[@aziztcf]

Nothing better than wandering in a game and wondering wtf PACK means and why everyone keeps killing you and calling you a cow.

[@LiamPorterFilms]

Amazing skills on display here - and the runner is a really good communicator

[@gatorguard5931]

Good lord, I never dreamed this game could be played so precisely.

[@dalmirogranas9990]

The gamplay was stellar as expect. But the NARRATION was also ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@olcay8233]

came for the handsome runner, stayed for the said handsome runner's very explanatory commentary. i've always been an avid fan of speedrunning ever since ive discovered its existence, however this is the first time ive actually wanted to speedrun a game from watching it being done. this looks super fun!

[@Geddarm]

This was one of the most entertaining speedrunes i habe ever seen, and i'm watching them regurarly sińce 2008

[@KestalDoern]

I'd never thought that Worms might be a great speedrunning experience. Well done, RuffledBricks!

[@TheActualJae]

I can’t believe only 5 people saw this live, this was insane!

[@ouroboros.berlin]

I see 6

[@MrToomash]

Unfortunately this run was quite early (around 5-6am local time iirc) so not many people were awake at ESA to watch it live (I joined the room around half way into the run myself)

[@OneEyedDeacon]

The room is bigger than what's shown on screen. There were more people (like me) off camera on the left.

[@bchgh]

Imagine playing worm against this guy and he obliterates your squad in turn 1.

[@vordloras]

Worms: Allright guys! Send the best against this guy! We have banana bombs, airstrike and sheeps! He have no chances! RuffledBricks: Ok, this one is going to be one-turner.

[@exile6129]

watching this man do things that took me months to clear is just insulting. great job!

[@damonskinner4766]

Awesome, you killed it. Very fun speedrun and entertaining commentary for this classic game.

[@arongan8938]

Explanations are really good.

[@aznhomig]

Man this is a blast from the past. I played this game with my cousins all the time on a single computer in PVP. Sometimes there were some awesome clutch moves but in general we loved the Holy Hand Grenades.

[@xxxx85]

Excellent run, couldn't imagine I'd be watching a speedrun of Worms Armageddon. Great running commentary and explanations of everything. :)

[@EgorKlenov]

1:02:32 the face of the spectator on the right perfectly reflects how I feel about this run

[@mrsery5941]

Wow, that was masterpiece of a run! Good job!

[@ogkdr]

Amazing run and amazing runner! Thanks to RuffledBricks for providing such great commentary throughout the entire run while blitzing through levels that took me hours as a kid. :D

[@MarioMayer]

That was simply awesome. That game was my childhood. Thanks a lot for your great commentary!

[@Ails1234]

Now there's a speedrun I can get behind. No glitches, not out of bounds, just perfect mastery of the mechanics

[@sharksmate]

He is an ACTUAL ninja with the rope O.O

[@Shibarec]

Wow, this brings back memories. And the level of skill and precision is unreal! Great run, very entertaining!

[@YaroslaffFedin]

Really loved the speed run. I did not expect to enjoy it so much. I also liked seeing the audience member behind snile in approval of certain tricks :D

[@jaklegend3]

The strats are so cool

[@RomualdFlibustier]

Impressive skills and commentary, precise and clear all the way👍 Congratulation on the run

[@ghoulbuster1]

First time I have seen a speedrun of worms Armageddon!

[@LK.Cynric]

That was an amazing run. Really awesome tech and great commentary! Loved it.

[@kickingkenno]

Awesome run and great to watch and listen!

[@Hj4a]

One of my favourite things watching this video is watching the moustached guy to the left to see when he smiles and applauds because then I know when to smile and applaud

[@Konedwag]

This is freakin' awesome! Thank you so much RuffledBricks and the ESA fam

[@Glanthor88]

probably the only speedrun i watched all the way through. very skilled, informed runner and quite good commentator. fun to watch this run of my favourite old game...

[@zatozatoichi7920]

Delightful, in every aspect. Was thinking about playing some Worms Armageddon LANs with friends for a while. : > Love this game, have good memories with it.

[@rdk9MusicFan]

Thats was very entertaining! Thank you!

[@renejuren2398]

I love watching games not ment or been made for speedruns optimized like this. The runner was very enjoyable to listen to too throughout the run. Brilliant video

[@enpeacy]

Incredible shot!

[@AdultZechez]

This was perfect, really fun to watch and listen to. Excellent!

[@joaoaguilar3022]

This was a great run and a great runner!

[@MncMarcos]

A pretty precise and entertaining run, I enjoyed it a lot, thanks!

[@alexispave3108]

Love he speedrun and the commentary. So perfect

[@RoboSparkle]

The absolute precision of this man! Great run :)

[@Furahri]

I played Worms Armageddon for fun / nostalgia a bit ago, and thought to myself "I wonder if there's a speedrun of this lol". Looked this up only for a giggle to see if it existed, and ended up getting WIDLY impressed by how talented Ruffledbricks was here! Really didn't expect there to be such a dedicated speedrunning community in a game like this. Love to see it!

[@joelwallenius2877]

Enjoyed this immensely.

[@shadowlicked]

I knew this would be cool and quirky, but I did not expect this level of wizardry. very impressive speedrun, and now it's got me planning on a worms session with some friends.

[@HamidKarzai]

haha the slow claps are awesome. also loved that mole bomb + mine captain kill, very smart

[@giga9955]

The hours me and my sister put into Worms when we were younger was mad! loved this run and the care put into the explanations

[@sven_bender]

Wow, just blitzing through this! The muscle memory is insane.

[@bettergames6259]

Great run

[@UltimatePeaceWalker]

What an exquisite run

[@tsjbb]

Really interesting run, loved the runners humour and skill too :) Thanks!

[@paulharold2602]

Great run. Very interesting!

[@JulioHaagensen]

That was amazing!

[@LalsMK91]

Crazy speedrun! Great job, runner

[@RaliX-dx8xv]

Just WTF 😮 played it as an child and this is just mindblowing

[@Listen2Concentr8]

this is phenomenal!

[@alexkfridges]

Insane. Speedrunning this game with all the variation in outcomes would be infruriating! Nice af

[@Joetoep]

Great run and good narrating ! Superb play.

[@n_k_]

Wow, this run was just pure mastery of skill!

[@ChaosPootato]

That's a pretty awesome run, the strats are crazy

[@petertimowreef9085]

This run is just the perfect combination of advanced strats I can actually understand, nostalgia and excellent commentary.

[@kadymaidel1]

Holy shit... All content is amazing..

[@darylwatts1242]

This was so relaxed, just sheer knowledge of the game combined with skills. Interesting to see the differences between the PC version and the PS 1 version. Would love to see a speedrun on the PS 1 game, as that took me a good long while to do back in the day. Cracking video though!

[@artempertsovskiy7596]

great stuff

[@mdqmatias]

This was very fun!

[@Moncho_]

Beautiful moves

[@lemagreengreen]

We loved this game so much, it was always fun at lanparties in multiplayer.

[@watch666]

great run and great game

[@TheJonathanc82]

This was very impressive. I loved the worms games as a kid, and the precision on display here is amazing.

[@salah4651]

that was so entertaining!

[@PurepOis0n123]

Runner did a great job with both commentating and playing. Solid work.

[@kurzackd]

What a glorious nostalgia trip this was!! :) I was playing THE SHIT outta this game back since its release all throughout the 00s, including with the pimped-up mod. (whose name eludes me right now) I gotta say -- this runner is the BEST I've ever seen, not only in terms of skills, but also PRESENTATION as he goes along. (AND he even has dashing looks to boot! xDD) Just... wow! :O Only bad moment is, he was so immersed in his oral presentation while playing, that this inevitably led to a few errors, which would have otherwise probably shaved like 2 minutes from the total runtimes, if he wasn't so intent on talking all the time. Keep up the good work! :)

[@ight_of_heart]

Sick moves

[@dkwh1986]

Absolute madman!

[@thesigmaenigma9102]

Man I never knew this game could get so precise and technical. Great explanation of the strats.

[@peterberg9219]

Incredible

[@fxexile]

Bought this whole franchise on steam during sale. :)

[@chichoskruch21]

great run and runner

[@Chazara2point0]

surprised I watched all of this... only wanted a quick nostalgia hit, but RuiffledBricks kept it really entertaining!

[@OzirV1000]

Really cool and entertaining runner

[@hakonbogen]

Honestly one of the best speedruns i have ever seen.

[@dariusus9870]

this game is so "sweet". Childhood memories. Awesome run

[@Sclonez]

This run was spectacular. The difficult level is bonkers with all those pixel perfect ticks, rgn manipulation and differents scenarios, so there's no shame in making a few mistakes IMO. WA is such an amazing game that I love since my childhood. thank you very much.

[@Scriptease1]

It was a blast

[@laelles660]

Armageddon is the best entry in the series by a long shot

[@TheRealPlato]

i remember that radiation pie chart graphic at the start of the mission taking a solid 20s to load back in the day

[@extractwise]

this is wild

[@MeridianLights]

this is the most amazing thing I've seen on KZbin in since the tetris world championships

[@jacksonlefteye]

probably my favorite speedrun

[@Bl00dWolf]

wow, such an interesting and good run =)

[@emanuel81111]

This guy is amazing.

[@TheChosenOne171]

That was pixel perfect!

[@Buharov1]

Amazing run, so creative play

[@MySpeedmetal]

My first game for PS1 Mom nearly died laughing when she found out what the game was about lmao Also the most impressive run ive seen in a long time, very nice!
