    I feel like I've walked into the wrong classroom but I decided to stick around anyway

    Found it funny that "tortugo" (close to tortuga meaning tortoise) beat the track where doing a turtle maneuver is key

    I just watched a 14 minute video on a game I have never even heard of before from a youtuber I've never heard of before, in a subject i'm not really interested in, all because the video was so well put together. They were able to keep my attention the entire time through good commentary and video. Kudos to you.

    TrackMania is actually an excellent illustration of "no shortcuts to success". Each one of these achievements took their authors thousands upon thousands of hard work.

    6:33 Is like a work of art, the way it moves perfectly around the ramp. It's beautiful

    The research of Wirtual is incredible. He should get the title "Historian" by Nadeo!

    Igntul: “Do not try and shortcut the track—that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.” Panos: “What truth?” Igntul: “There is no shortcut.” Panos: "Challenge accepted."
  • Ironic how some named Tortugo found a way to complete it without turtling :D

    Wirtual: "The only thing that matters is your end time, no matter how you achieve it." Me: "Cool, I'm gonna cheat my way to victory!" Wirtual: "Wait no."

    "This led to players saving minutes, and eventually hours on tracks" The fact that they can take hours at all is highly concerning to me

    Love the fact that the devs welcome the whacky bugs and embrace it. Makes it easy more fun for everyone involved for sure.
