10 Superhuman Gaming Feats That Put Us All To Shame

7. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind In 4:19 (Glitch Run)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_fFApDyki4 There's a lot of contention in the speed run community about the worthiness of glitch runs, given that they exploit areas of the game that allow you to bypass masses of content in order to reach the end-game screen faster, rather than actually completing every task that the game intends of you. Still, there's no denying the ingenuity and intelligence that must've gone into completing Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind in less time than it takes most people to even finish making their freaking character! The player utilises a large number of glitches to disable enemies and also enhance their attacking abilities, as well as jumping through walls and teleporting to bypass the vast majority of the game. Even if it's more a testament to the ability of a determined player to basically "break" a game than their skill at breezing through the established rules, it's no less impressive.
