The 'Impossible' Quake Record

Considered unbeatable for 24 years, this is the story of quake's most unlikely speedrun.

Chambers: @Chamburs

Huge thanks to Matt from @MattsRamblings for making the multi-ghost demo possible. His channel has some of the best Quake (and other!) content on Youtube.

This was absolutely amazing. The music, editing, commentary and cinematics.. just perfection. This is certainly one of the greatest moments of my Quake career, and a memory I will cherish for the rest of my days. Thank you so much, Connor. ❤

I was distracted by the Grunt fighting the Rottweiler and missed the record. Can he redo the run?

[bunnybreaker]

Mad respect to your wife for becoming a speed runner for tea.

3:09 shoutout to Markus Taipale. it's actually insane how good he was for the time. There's a reason that he has the records for basically all the most difficult levels in qdqwav, including literally all of E4. He's my favorite Quake speedrunner ever.

I cannot believe how high quality this video is. This was a pleasure to watch

[chiefbeef]

As someone who knows nothing about Quake speedrunning, you absolutly made me feel the weight of this accomplishment. Great job!

[matroksu]

Great to be part of it and ofcourse all Quake Games! :) - matr0xpl from Poland! :] Greetings!

I feel you, dog at 12:51. Chambers blew right past you, I'd be angry too.

[FatFilipinoUK]

The way Chambers gracefully sails through the air in slow motion, together with the music, is beautiful to see! Especially with all the other speedrunners trailing behind at the end!

[qdm]

The suspense! The 20 sec wife run :D The horde :DDD Beautiful video man <3

[tougeadventures]

I'm glad Quake is getting some what of a revival. Been playing Quake Live since it's release

[youptralala]

This is mind blowing in every sense: the record itself, the history, the narration, the recams, the music...!
And at the end you realize the vast majority of competitors jumped on the wrong side of that gap for years.
This video truly deserve Karl Jobst grade view counts!

This is the perfect speedrun video, you deserve the audience of the big time channels. It is the perfect length, with just the right amount of information and context to drive home the weight of the record without boring the audience. The tone both vocally and musically are fantastic, relaxed yet awe inspiring.

If anyone else made this video it would be 45 minutes long, explaining the back story of every runner who has held the record for 27 years, over explaining game mechanics, etc.

Great job, fastest subscribe of my life.

[brickchpel]

Your voice is perfect for this, kind of calming actually.

[radscorpion]

I think the music really takes this video to the next level. It isn't just the speedrunner but how well it was all captured

[Trancemason]

Suggesting this video for me is YouTube's algorithm's finest hour. Awesome video; awesome channel. To add to the others who have quite rightly commented on the quality of production on this - it is nothing short of fantastic. Great job all round!

[getradvideo]

LOVED this so much - the ending was, beautiful 😭

[shableep]

This video is a master class on video editing and story telling. Honestly haven't been gripped by a Quake video like this. Amazing work. Thanks for giving this niche such reverence with your videos.

[MrKwizzles]

this video is done so well, congratulations! very much appreciating the efforts you putting into this!

[spawnofyakub]

Dude your channel is gonna blow up. This quality of video is way beyond the norm for 1k subs. Keep up the great work!
