Tool assisted? Is every movement and action scripted somehow?

The Miragia one was actually quite reasonable.

It was done pretty much frame by frame, using tools such as memory watch to manipulate luck and perform every movement perfect to the frame. This movie took 50 thousand re-records (going back to a saved point) to finish.

Impressive. Most impressive.

why doesn't he ever die when he touches the skypest?

Five bytes:

Code: Select all

F10+G

Maybe, he might just get really lucky every time.

Read my post above, there's no cheats, just tools.

The "Tool" being to insert that code into memory at the right point?

Lol, the lick is invincible. At 3:03 you can see him hopping around at the bottom of the tar. XD

At 4:30ish the skypest got killed without a pogo. I like how the skypest got shot at 4:40. 4:35ish looks fishy. At around 7:06 two sky pests could have been killed. It's a sin to let them live like that.

At 8:17 he should have been a goner. Isle of fire looks faked up a bit. Can keen jump that high really? And those guys who shoot sparks in the well of wishes... they were idle.

Overall it is impressive. But, I consider it cheating.

It reminds me of this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydbd1tP2QWk , though I like that one more.

This is one of the craziest "devoted fan" gaming things I've seen...

On an exciting side note, this video had exactly 314 views when I watched it. Keen must be trying to tell me something important, possibly that hax are the best way to succeed in life.

And has a definite cheat at 1:37!

No, those only kill when they're at full power, and it doesn't look like it was when Keen went through it. I do, however, question why the mine didn't explode when Keen was standing inside the thing.
