Jimmy "two-squeaks" didn't even have time to squeak once the poor bastard

[fightswithbears]

"Concerningly punctual" is the greatest description of speedrunning I've heard.

Joel Haver sharing the way to recreate his animation style was the best thing to ever happen

[DeSinc]

my favourite part is where he knocks on the door purely so the NPC can open it so it clips into him

[sea]

I love the cut as the boss looks wide-eyed and then goes back to talking like normal

[youdontknowmegigna]

Just as an FYI, the mob boss npc asks for you to find "Vinny Two-Squeaks" but will accept 'Jimmy Two-Squeaks' as well. It's probably a bug but until it's patched this is the faster route as you can collect Jimmy on the way to the vault before meeting the mob boss. I've been able to replicate this several times fairly consistently.

[TigerBrows]

i am absolutely in love with the phrase "concerningly punctual"

[VelosoNarciso]

I just love how he used the door opening animation to clip through the wall and skip the 'boss is dead' custscene and subsequent fight to just come back and kill the last guy while he is distracted. Beautiful all the way.

[OfficialMaxBox]

Incredible all the way through. The purposeful rapping of the door to trigger the henchman to clip the player? Genius.

[Hnk_the_hnk]

I love how every time the colorless NPC gets interrupted by speedrunner being fast, it briefly gains enough sentience and consciousness to open it's mouth and put a "holy 💩" look on it's face right before the next line of dialog kicks in.

[Joel-Haver]

The box glitching is phenomenal, as well as how calmly they continue speaking while it’s happening! Great work all around!

[mindfulcat]

Loved how the npcs are shocked at the occurrences almost like a real personal reaction yet then clip into their next scripted line of story dialogue

Nice dichotomy

[GreatFox]

i like how the don's animation "resets" after each shocked face

[SephBentos]

Love that Joel has not only sparked an entire new genre of video, but is actively encouraging and cheering on others who are taking inspiration from him. What a great guy 💛

[fakenate]

Using the Don's surprised facial expression to the speedrunner's accomplishments and then carrying over that same look of surprise when the Don gets shot was genius.

[haachamachama]

This is the highest quality Joel Haver animation not made by Joel Haver I've seen!

[allninelivez]

Farengar: "fetch the Dragonsto...."

Dragonborn: "You mean this old tablet?"

[epicsaxguy]

Love how the boss kept untucking, then re-tucking his shirt everytime he spoke

[willofone]

I never realized how terrifying and efficient the protagonist is.

[fearanger]

I love how everybody sounds genuinely mystified by the speedrunner defying reality.
