It's done in 13 seconds. I didn't watch it but it seems like such a pointless video.

It's a flash adventure game that has been circling around. The video isn't really interesting since he exploits the flash movie sequences. He really doesnt solve it, just show the ending very fast :D

It's actually a fun, challenging flash game. No replay value though. Just Google "Crimson Room" as it is hosted on many different sites.

If you're going to do a speed run of a flash game, make it Megaman vs. Metroid.

Megaman VS Metroid is a very short game.. and prety easy, too. Fireman: Incoming Storm would be a better choice. Not any longer, but much harder.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

Every flash game is rather short, relatively easy to beat, and usually very glitchy. Doing a flash game as a speedrun is not a good idea to begin with. I just mentioned M vs. M because it's an interesting concept and a very well programmed flash game. heh, what's next, speedruns of Java games? :|

I totally agree with Deviance.

Maybe I should make a speed run video of my high score in Jail Break :)

Why do you say that? It hasn't been taken off of ZHQ yet. I think it's kind of obvious that I used a glitch (or two) to get such a high score.

These two sentences seem contradictory to me. Flash games are fairly popular. If they really are all 'very glitchy' then it would be interesting to see all of those glitches exploited. And being 'rather short' means it would be difficult to get bored watching them. The Crimson Room glitch shown apparently only works with a certain version of Flash.

I'm aware fash games are popular, as most of my site is devoted to it. But many times, the glitches ruin the fun of the game all together, like in Jail Break. They aren't difficult to discover either; it doesn't take much creativity to exploit the mistakes in a flash game, as in Megaman RPG, just right-clicking and pressing "play" allows you to skip any level. In Jail Break, shoot the same enemy over and over. In Frogger, hold down Left and when the game starts you'll fly off the side of the screen. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I wouldn't download an avi just to watch 10 second video of something as simple as that, especially when there are thousands of flash games out there. It'll probably take you less time to play the game yourself and exploit the many mistakes in some obscure flash game's poor programming.
