Right now I just have time for a quick update. If you haven't been watching the message boards since the last update, you've missed three of the best world records in TS2 history courtesy of MegaDestructor9. Do yourself a favor and watch them:

Golden Thighs - 21.9
Scrap Metal - 51.0
Adios Amigos - 15.7

I've been insanely busy lately, which is why I haven't had the time to tell you about the insane world record activity that we've been having on TS2.

So let's talk about Batteries. Not the kind you put in your TV remote to make it work, nor the kind you stick under the hood of your car, but Batteries as in "But Where Do the Batteries Go?" Historically, this is one of the most played stages in TS2, so the 1:54.8 WR by Ace was pretty damn good. I say "was" because Ace decided he didn't want 1:54.8. His original 1:54.8 run rounded up from 1:54.7. So Ace decided to play Batteries again. He got no less than eight runs under 1:55 and another 1:54.7 that rounded up before finally getting a new WR. 1:54.7.

The effort need by Ace was tremendous, so when Matthijs Triep got 1:54.6 about two minutes after Ace got his 1:54.7, it came as a bit of a surprise. That's right. 1:54.6 seemingly out of nowhere. This new record now means that Matthijs holds all three Story Classic world records. A big congrats Matthijs.

There's more. I haven't mentioned Mega Destructor. He's been playing Shrinking from the Cold. A lot. First he got 23.4, which is a site record. Then someone told him that once upon a time someone had claimed that they got 22.9, but it was never proven. So Mega Destructor fired up his XBox and played more SftC. He next got 23.1, in which he made a few changes to where he stands to fire the grenades. He kept grinding at it and today announced an undisputed untied world records of 22.8...with a dam spawn. Absolutely insane.

Mega Destructor also got 13.3 on Trouble at the Docks, becoming the eighth person on this site to do so.

I sure hope you wanted more TS2 records, because we have two more courtesy of MegaDestructor9. First up is Gone Bananas. He was able to tie the 39.6 mark set by that Silent Thunder guy, and he claims that lower is possible, but would be very, very hard. I have agree with him.

Mega Destructor took a short break after that but returned with a sub-20 Adios Amigos time. He wasn't satisfied, and slowed chipped away until he got the insane spawns necessary for a 16.4, beating Mattijs Triep by only a tenth. It'll be interesting to see what's next from MegaDestructor9. Congrats!

There's been some major records achieved on TS2 over the last few days, most of them coming courtesy of MegaDestructor9.

First, we have a new record on Fight Off the Living Dead. MegaDestructor endured 14 hours of playing to become the first over the 4 million mark, beating Matthijs Triep's 3.8 million run. His final score was 4,083,539.

A few days later, MegaDestructor achieved another very difficult record by getting 47.2 on Chastity Chased, beating Remlosh by only a tenth of a second. The luck needed with spawns for such a score is insane, and MegaDestructor got it on his first try of the day. Mega also got 16.0 on NeoTokyo.

It's not all MegaDestructor this update, however. Matthijs Triep has been playing more Killer Queen, resulting in a full second taken off of the previous record, which was also held by Matthijs. His new time is 37.3. Nice work by Matthijs.

Back in September, MegaDestructor9 was added to the TSFP rankings with some very good world records. I'm pleased to announce that MegaDestructor9 has now been added to the Timesplitters 2 rankings with a new untied world records and three other very good times.

MegaDestructor9 took down my own Monkey Business record with a 40.2 run. That run is the first to use the same route as Gone Bananas, and is a very solid run all around. Very impressive given how annoying this stage can be.

He also did a 39.8 on Gone Bananas, which is the second best time ever and also makes him the third person to break the 40 second barrier.

MegaDestructor9 also got 2,627,362 on FotLD, giving him a 97 point time on the rankings. He said it took about 8 hours total. Kudos to him for enduring that stage.

Finally, he got 13.4 on Trouble at the Docks. The run was pretty solid, but he seemed doubtful about getting 13.3, although I think it's within his reach.

Congrats to MegaDestructor9!
