Here's a no-nonsense video chronicling the progress of the Donkey Kong world record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAQ2vEHq2N4

This guy has also made videos chronicling similar speedrun records for other games, and they're fascinating to watch.

Summoning Salt is one of the best gaming youtubers I've run across. He describes what he's talking about in both a technical and end-result sense, and really makes a viewer understand the passion for games that these players have.

I do wish he had a little more passion in his voice about the subject. It's obvious he is thoroughly involved and cares from the material, but it sometimes sounds like a recording of the absolute worst teacher you've ever had

I just discovered this guy, Summoning Salt, this week and I cannot stop watching his videos! Super fascinating stuff :)

I made an account purely to express how strange it is that I just found this guy no more than a week ago, and now I'm seeing people talk about him somewhere that I never would have expected. It's weird.

Great video, except it ends too early. Robbie Lakeman has twice now beaten Wes Copeland's high score, presented at the end of this video.

But still, great watching.
