Speed Run: Fallout 3

Speed runs are when a video game expert utilizes every trick (non-hacking cheat) available to complete a game in the shortest amount of time.  They are impressive to watch when you consider how much time and practice it took to achieve.  Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games because of the massive world it inhabited.  I remember finishing the game (in many multiples of this speed run) and then learning I had only uncovered 11% of the world map.  Amazing.
