I've gotten enough messages regarding this to warrant posting this, but in case anyone's reading this far and is wondering, yes, I was the guy in the thumbnail who was melted into the couch. I was 22 at the time. I had no clue he had spliced records. I just thought he was maybe really really rusty and did not practice his run. AGDQ in 2010 was only the second GDQ after "Classic Games Done Quick", which was in Mike Uyama's basement one year prior. So nobody really knew what the best practices were for preparing for a speedrun marathon yet. So, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Just really funny when I think about it.

There are so many confusing things about this. Like, if you know you're signed up to do a live event and you can't actually play like that, either practice like mad for the few weeks you have, or just call and say that you can't come for some reason. The sheer insanity to show up anyway, completely unprepared is just wild.

[@BarkBevastation]

For additional context; Cody Miller ran 3 games at GDQ2011. The other two were completely fine. Metal Gear Solid and Portal. They werent anything spectacular, but they also weren't disastrous. But thats clearly what he practiced instead of CE. He did hold *some* legit world records in Halo CE. Not to try to defend the guy, just providing further context on the situation that most people seem to miss.

[@HunterStiles651]

@@BarkBevastation Yeah. I could believe that some of his world records are legit. For all the piss Charlie and Frog took out of Cody's many deaths, you don't beat a 10-hour game in four hours unless you have *some* idea of what the hell you're doing.

[@KitKatNisa]

He wanted his chance to be on the stream. He didn't care about the event or the cause, and he certainly didn't care if he looked good. He probably didn't realize just HOW bad he'd look, though.

[@ken.7019]

​@@HunterStiles651 but he was always praised as one of the best runners of Halo at the time.

[@Wumbo_the_Mumbo]

What blows my mind is that Cody applied to be there. GDQ doesn't just randomly pick WR runners and dozens more runners get turned away than accepted. Cody asked for this humiliation.

[@ryanhodin5014]

I remember hearing that he was backed into a corner a bit - The Halo speedrunning community was kind of suspicious of his runs, so they asked him to prove he can perform live at GDQ. Basically, he was forced to either admit defeat or try his best at defending his titles by looking like a good runner having a bad day, and... Well, you know the rest. I don't remember where I heard this or know if it's actually true though, so grain of salt and all. But it'd certainly explain why he didn't just... Not do this.

[@mayorhaggar1275]

He was invited back later.

[@MrCactuar13]

This was like the 3rd GDQ ever organized, they were still more or less still figuring things out. They were still breaking new ground here and there's no doubt the vetting process was refined at all beyond "contact guy on internet who says they have fast times and hope they say yes." It's honestly not surprising considering the time period. What's embarrassing though is the fact he was invited for several more events after the fact even though he was basically just a proven fraud by this point.

[@RMDragon3]

@@ryanhodin5014 even assuming that was the case, I would much rather admit to cheating than embarrass myself for over 4 hours in front of the biggest audience I can find. It's not like anyone was convinced he hadn't cheated his runs after that.

[@ryanhodin5014]

@@RMDragon3 Oh, no doubt. I think Cody was one of the people who started out thinking they were genuinely good, but were getting cheated out of it by the game, so they cheated the game back (much like my thoughts on the history of someone who's name is similar to "Silly Bitchell"). Over time, I imagine he just kept cheating a little more and playing a little less, not really realizing how much he was now downright terrible. So when he was pushed into playing at GDQ he probably thought "I'm pretty good, so even if I don't have my tools I should do good enough that I can play it off" up until he got into it and realized he was in no way good enough to look like he was at all a respectable player

[@amadeus.7436]

​​@@Mr_Vakarian You only practice the few specific things you need to speedrun the game and do them over and over again until you get them all to work in a single sitting. You can sit at home and get a world record like that, but as we see here as soon as something goes wrong he shuts down. Here in the run he doesn't have the ability to just re-start a hundred times until it goes his way. That's why it's much more entertaining to watch people who actually know a game play it.

[@SM4SH3R]

It was faked, back in the day when we didn't have the experience or knowledge to realize what he was doing ​@@Mr_Vakarian

[@ryanhodin5014]

​@@Mr_VakarianSimply put, he cheated. If you watch the run and compare it to a contemporary actual run, it's not even like Cody just got really bad luck, or screwed up tricks too much, he just... Didn't know how to do any tricks. One of his longest standing and most impressive records was found to be spliced, if you want to know a bit about how he cheated.

It was wild how I saw him on the snowy 5th level struggling with trying to do the trick to skip a bunch of the level, so I left to go make dinner, take a shower, do some chores, and come back to Cody, STILL on the same level; I legitimately couldn't believe it. I kept watching in hopes of seeing cool tricks, and I basically got none. The schedule for the rest of the entire event was ruined from just this run. I cannot imagine the embarrassment to be the permanent originator of the GDQ mercy kill rule, but Cody more than earned it.

Legend says Cody is still there trying to beat the game on Legendary

[@rood5000]

I'm not a speed runner, but you never forget games that you've "mastered." Whenever I go back to a classic game I've played in the past, it only takes me 5-10 minutes for the ingrained motions to come rushing back, not at full 100% but good enough.

[@kerakhunter-b3n]

True. I stopped playing shooters for years, met a crew that got into it, and I was still among the top when it came to shooting things. One of them even had that shocked laugh when they really saw me play. Keep in mind it had probably been like 5-6 years since I even touched a proper shooter and was still doing well. This guy had no excuse.

[@JGdouble2]

I can leave a game for years and pick it up in the same hour. Especially where it is a long standing series that barely changes control settings.

[@SumitShrivastava17]

Yup, hopped back on Monster Hunter after years, and took me about 15mins to get all the muscle memory back.

[@themousemage]

There's a particular level that I've never completed and every time I retry it I get the same time to the hundredths of a second. 😂 But for other games I absolutely agree. If you've nailed a game and come back to it fifteen years later some corner of your brain will *remember*.

[@xvgm24]

The best part was someone who promised to donate some money on the condition that Cody didn't die in the next five minutes, then he proceeds to die right afterwards lmao.

[@LastOfTheJedi88]

I'm more convinced that he has never played the game in his life. He probably either spliced footage from other speedruns together or had a friend that did play Halo and is taking credit for them. The fact that the GDQ did nothing to stop "The Speedrun" after he lowered the difficulty and let him continue for FOUR HOURS is just embarrassing.

[@RobKaiser_SQuest]

There's a mix of shame and fucked-up pride in being the reason a rule exists. I didn't cheat anything, but if you go to Trent U and stay in Lady Eaton dorms, you're explicitly not allowed to play bagpipes at any time... and I'm the reason why.

[@ferretyluv]

As a kid, I wanted to learn to play the bagpipes because I like the sound. My parents refused. I didn’t know what an uillean was at 8 so I couldn’t try and compromise. But I would love to hear your bagpipes playing.

[@majortellandrus2552]

I wanna make a correction: stealth Elites in CE don't have less shields... They DON'T get shields AT ALL. CE is the only Halo that has unshielded Elites, because the shields are taken off of them in favor of the active camo to balance them back in the day, that's just what you did back then when you made an enemy invisible. Halo 2 is where we get shielded camo, because H2 is where we get the more lore heavy authentic enemies that are more like alien soldiers than just chess pieces.
