Abstract
It's part of the human nature to constantly challenge ourselves to tackle harder challenges. Video games are no exception, and they often provide a difficulty setting to allow people to push their limit. When this is still not enough, gamers introduce self-constrained challenges, such as playing with a banana instead of a controller or playing blindfolded. Or just trying to go faster and faster. And when you think you can't go any faster, you break the game to go even faster. Come to learn about all the shenanigans of speedrunners!
