Hello people, I finally decided to join.
So yeah, I found this website around a year ago during a friendly competition over at GamingW.net, where Sonic 1's first level was featured as a level to speedrun during that competition. I've been lurking on it for the most part of that, downloading videos and reading the forums when I felt like it. I've been a fan of the Sonic games for as long as I can remember too, trading in my SNES for a Genesis to get Sonic 2 and buying every Sega consoles since then with anticipation, even going as far as pre-ordering a Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure and a few other games.
I've been speedrunning games for nearly two years now, although I have nothing published (I do have a completed speedrun of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Radix won't accept it until I recapture it in 640x480 however instead of my 320x240 max setting for my capture card). I had originally decided to register here to submit my video from the GamingW.net competiton, which was a 00:25 video, but I somehow managed to lose it, so I've been trying to get it done again. I'm a very competitive type as well, so I'll probably submit a lot of times for the Sonic games I like.
So yeah, I hope I'll enjoy myself here. Actually, I'm pretty sure I will. I'll also be hanging around IRC, and maybe you'll see me ranting over there about how much I suck even if I'm at 10 frames of matching the top score. Stupid perfectionist mentality.
