Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Today is intensely slow news-wise.

Instead of actually going outside and bettering your chances of procreation, I bring you the above speedrun of one of my all-time favorite, ultra-action-packed, 2D psuedo-shmups, Gunstar Heroes.

These speedrun videos are the gamer's equivalent of listening to Mozart (or, for that matter, Martin Leung); there is absolutely no way your abilities will ever approach that level of perfection, but no one can deny the unanticipated wood outbreaks that symphonies are notorious for causing.

Jeez, I just played that game in January with a friend. Even with co-op, we barely finished it on normal after an entire night of gaming. This video was just beautiful.

It's rediculous that they couldn't provide online functionality for the VC games, I would kill to play Gunstar online with friends.

I used to do Quake I speed runs. Does that mean I have teh purfekt skillz? Oh wait, I played Mozart on the piano for over a decade, I guess that's a resounding YES!

But yeah, gunstar heros is the best game evar. And my mozart playing skills will never help me get to this level of gaming.

Oh, and if you think it's a slow news day, then you obviously haven't heard that Charles Nelson Reilly died. This is highly relevant to gaming.

The gay rat from Charlotte's Web croaked?

This is relevant.

@ tazarthayoot:

You're thinking of Paul Lynde I believe. Charles Nelson Reilly was probably best known for being the flamboyant gay guy on Match Game (best game show evar) and Jose Chung in that awesome episode of X-Files.

You need to be either extremely lucky or good at save states to be able to roll through the Dice Game with all 3's.

All I remember of Charles Nelson Reilly is that SNL skit that Will Ferrell did of Inside The Actor's Studio with Charles Nelson Reilly. That made me laugh. So it is relevant.

@Campbell: I'm sure whoever it is has run it so many times that they're bound to record one of them getting the perfect rolls.

I always got owned by the one who transformed into the gun as a kid. Man I miss games like this.
