<h2>Speedrunning<h5>As many of you know I am a pretty hardcore gamer. I really enjoy most platforms but my heart lies with the retro gaming systems specifically the Super Nintendo console. 
What I really enjoy is something called video game "speedrunning" & yes its one word :) Speedrunning is just as it sounds. It is beating a video game as fast as possible. Typically to do this well it takes practice & if you want to be in the top 5% registered game times you will have to put forth some serious effort.
