In tribute to the great people at AGDQ this year, here is the only game that I've ever made an attempt at speedrunning - it's Prince of Persia on the PC. I used to play this all the time a few years ago, trying to take seconds off my time... but I hadn't played it since 2006 and a whole plethora of new techniques have been discovered since then, making my time look unimpressive in comparison. So to do something a little different, here I attempt to get to the game's end in the practice mode, which reduces your timer to 15 minutes so that - theoretically - you can't complete the game.

This is without a doubt the most exhausting video I have ever produced.
