This Tony Hawk Speedrun is Flat Out Bonkers

I was pretty solid at Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 in my day. But I don’t hold a candle to GeorgeThePlushie, who demolished the game in 3 minutes and 26 seconds. Take a look at it, and bathe in your game-playing inadequacies! See how fast he moves through the menus! George mentions that fraps was…
