I meant to post this up as well. Thanks!
Unfortunately, like all years, I don't have anything to contribute. :(

I gotta put up at least $20.  These guys spend a lot of time chipping away on their runs

Fire alarm just went off during Trihex's Yoshi's Island run and someone left a cat plushie sitting on the couch just staring at the camera. Hilarious yet kinda creepy...

That Super Metroid race is incredible. I've never been that into speed runs, but that one is immensely entertaining.

Sinister1's Blindfolded run is something the whole office was watching and cheering along to. That was EPIC.

I had a ton of fun watching this. I really enjoyed the Super Metroid race, and the one handed SM64 speed run.
