2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 In 6:23
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8U3kTTxMBvY I spent months trying to beat the brilliant Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 back in the day, and then this German dude comes along and does it in less time than it takes me to get out of bed in the morning. The speed at which he breezes through the achievement videos at the start of each level has us picturing a crazed German man mashing his PlayStation controller with all his might, but watching him play the actual game itself, there's no doubt that this guy is an absolute demon. He clearly has every level's objective clearly mapped out in his mind, completing all those necessary to progress to the next level in one smooth run, before exiting to the menu and loading the next level. It is simply astonishing that someone could have the level of concentration to do this; I've watched the video a few times now and I still can't fathom how it's humanly possible.
