NowGamer checks out some insane speed runs of Oblivion, Braid, Fallout, Mario Bros. and more. Some of these speed runs have to be seen to be believed. Links to videos in the article.
In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.
Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.
Thanks a lot, Todd
"with no plans to retire anytime soon" I mean this is like a common news topic involving his name. Knock it off and do some actual newsing. This is like the biggest "No Duh" article of the day, and several sites had to regurgitate it. Geez. So lame.

This is when he'll retire.
Discover the impact of the recent Fallout show on Amazon Prime and the white-hot popularity of the Fallout franchise. Will there be a Fallout 5 anytime soon? How about any new Fallout? Its a good problem to have.
I’m going to get back into Fallout 4 since I haven’t finished it yet. The recent update will likely give me more of an incentive to get to it sooner rather than later.
Where is the problem part again?
There is a show
There is 76 that is perfect for non-standard fallout players and perfect for Bethesda to coin up on.
There is a Fallout Shelter
There is Fallout 4 updated for current gen (that went free for subscription services in most cases).
Also there is a whole new audience that has never seen or played fallout before. Seems like they have PLENTY to dig into, before they worry about FO5.
They are beyond trending and are banking with willing investors atm, and you are calling it a problem. Mkay. Sounds more like you are just chapped that FO5 is not point of discussion. No worries, it is coming, just gonna take a bit. Just be glad MS and Bethesda ironed out their multi-platform woes, THAT was a problem, the rest is cake.
Just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't worth revisiting.
The three first "Fallout" games are still pure RPG gold in the current year imo.
I agree I played the original 3 a few years ago and they are fun. I feel this needs to be said though. Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame. However, If you have any sort of windows laptop you can play them they are really old now a basic office pc can play it.
I also want to say is Fallout Brotherhood Of Steel on the PS2 the first console Fallout game. It gets hate for no reason. I enjoyed them more than the originals. I believe it's on Xbox as well. Anyone with access to a PS2 or Xbox or emulated them on pc. It's a fun game to play. Don't get why it was hated on.
Hate turned based worlds. Tried playing 1 10years ago and couldnt figure out howto get past 30 feet.
The Mario Bros. 3 one is insane. Seen it before though, but it never fails to impress.
I think I've seen one of Metroid Prime being beaten in an hour so which is pretty impressive. These take a level of determination that I will never possess.
that he knew someone who completed Final Fantasy VII is a total span of 25 hours, to which I replied "LIES." I then proceeded to beat him down for his unruly smack talk.
I remember back in the day, a Mario Bros 3 level used to take yrs to beat compared to to when i revisted it on my lil cousin's Gameboy Advance(2003) and again on her Gameboy SP(2007).
Mario Bros 3 was orginally my fav in the series but the length of the levels change my mind( if thats fair) as Mario World is now my fav.
I'm pretty sure I can still beat Mario Bros. 2 in 12 minutes, haven't tried in a while but that is a fun speedrun.
Another impressive speedrun I've seen is 100% in Super Metroid in about 59 minutes. CRAZY
