From the original High Speed Halo News Post:

When people come to High Speed Halo, generally they want to watch speedruns. Well hey, good timing, because we have three new runs for you today!

First up, cheeseliker92 brings us a run through your intestinal tract, or in other words, Cortana on legendary. It’s quite a solid performance, with some nifty use of the gravity hammer to knock off a fair bit of time during the sections where Gravemind feels it necessary to read us parts from his diary. Did I mention that cheeseliker92 doesn’t fire a shot for nearly 8 minutes? That’s right, this run is also a no-shot run. It took you 3 hours to beat the first time with weapons, don’t lie… or was that just me? 7:52 is the new time in the table.

Oh but we have more Cortana for you. Behold as Rorcin and cheeseliker92 are able to navigate this level without getting as hopelessly lost as I do! It’s everything a run of legendary co-op Cortana should be. Good shortcuts, neat little tricks… This run is particularly amusing, because the two seem to be racing each other rather than working together most of the time. But they get the job done in the end, and in impressive 7:48.

And finally, we have another cooperative run, coming from new runner Elephantom and guest. It’s a run of The Ark on Normal that brings meaning to the phrase, “long story short”, knocking off almost 2 minutes off the previous submission for a new time of 12:38. I could walk you through all the best parts, but I don’t want to spoil this great run. Just trust me on this one, this is a run you need to watch. Do enjoy the teleporting tank 6 minutes in.

Good show, gentlemen. Keep those runs coming!

This one is brought to you by N8ked Eli, and let me tell you, this is one impressive run. In fact, it’s directly responsible for the current state of my jaw, which is currently ajar and hanging just above the floor. I can’t spoil this video for you. You just have to watch it. You’ll be glad you did.
