“Ma’am, that’s all well and good, but have you ever adventured in the land of Hyrule? Rocky mountain hikes, scenic river tours - not to mention fishing ponds (my personal favourite). Ma’am? Ma’am are you there?”

Fast Travel is now accepting runs from local speedrun marathons, so to kick us off we've got four runners from this weekend's @albionspeedrun.co.uk Marathon Manchester to share the awesome runs they did! With @streetbackguy.bsky.social, @spyran.co.uk, @garlips.bsky.social and @marisa77.bsky.social
Beyond proud to be a part of this! Here’s to many more!
You don't want to see that, right? Me dressed as Snake? With eyepatch after torture, running the end game with one eye? Yeah, we don't need to meet that milestone. Right? RIGHT!?
We are just £80 off our milestone incentive to have NickRPGreen do his MGS3 Snake Eater run in full costume as Snake. With a little over an hour to go, can we hit it?

SQUAD MK. I
Justified
Very proud to be a part of the crew bringing you this Marathon, as well as doing a cheeky Blobby run in the middle of Saturday! If you see me there come over and say hi, I’ll make you regret it! 🤣 “Garlips, please stop crying and singing Simple and Clean, I only wanted a fistbump…”
THREE DAYS TO GO! Albion Speedrun Marathon Manchester starts this Saturday at 10am! We're raising money for Everyone Can, a Manchester based charity that provides accessible gaming for all disabilities.

Schedule for Giochi d'un Fiato 2026
As if our first event next week isn't enough, we're announcing another! We're partnering with the Italian Speedrun Community to provide an English restream of Giochi d'un Fiato 2026. The marathon runs 9-10th May and we're looking for commentators. Details and sign up here: forms.gle/6KbcBfXWHZHe...
Me too, that Garlips guy is the *worst*.
We're getting so much closer to our first live event in Manchester! But we've got one more AMAZING surprise for you. We've managed to source a raven costume so our mascot R.N.G. will be at the event! We are after a volunteer to wear it, so please email info@albionspeedrun.co.uk if you're interested!
Nuff said. 💜
I have run SH1 before a few times and could help out, at least to begin with. There are a couple of nifty, slightly tricky skips and one cutscene bugs out in a glorious way 🤠
Reminder that we have a couple of days left to submit apps!!!!
So you should!!!! APPLY! The gif below is me when you do apply 😂

“Man, whoever wrote your book is dumb as shit!” 🤠

The secret is OUT! @albionspeedrun.co.uk’s inaugural, in-person marathon is happening in less than a month and the schedule is out!!! I have the distinctly honourable pleasure of running the cursed Mr. Blobby in front of real people in real life! Why have I chosen this for myself… oh no…
Lovely day for a schedule reveal don't you think? Outlook is sunny, with a dash of speedruns at around 8:30pm GMT in the twitch.tv/albionspeedrun area. Recommended to take some hype if you're going out.
Just picked up Canterbury tickets! Haven’t been up on Campus for a few years now so it’ll be oddly nostalgic 🥸
There's only ONE WEEK LEFT to get your submissions in for Albion Speedrun Marathon Manchester! Come speedrun and hang out with fellow runners at Manchester Anime and Gaming Con April 11-12th!

Post-game here I come! BAGUETTE!
I have to thank Ads for lending it to me. I now want to get hold of a special or collector’s edition soon, because it’s had a profound impact on me. One of the best JRPGs I’ve ever played. Legendary soundtrack. Just play it already; the hype is real.
Okay as usual I am very late to the party but Clair Obscur, if I’d played it last year, would have been my GOTY. But it goes beyond that. A couple days after beating it, it won’t leave my head. It’s genuinely great (I can count my nitpicks on one-hand) and the complete package.
