If nothing else, that's a pretty good indication of the relative difficulties of the columns, at least in my experience. I completed columns 6 and 7 pretty early on, definitely before 4 and 5, maybe even before 3. Your times reflect that dip in difficulty, and the extreme spike at the 80s.

It's also a pretty cool accomplishment to have speedrun the game in under 14 hours. Nice job. Next up, who can complete the game in one fell swoop? Imagine 14 solid hours of N. O_______o;;

there's nothing in the game which records time (as far as I know), so you must've timed yourself, which I personally have no problem with (seeing as this is a game), but unless you want to challenge others in a competition-like manner, I don't find this relevant, as I'm sure xaeler has completed N in under 8 hours (or about that).





I also like run-on sentences.

I doubt it, why would he have? I'm sure he could, but unless he was trying to I don't see why he would've...
Also, I think there was a competition like this on the old forums, but no one really had the patience to do it, good job squibbles (=

...no life...actually jk, i probably would if my parents would let me play N for that long

my record for columns 1 and 2 is...1.5 hours, that's about as far as i can do consistently.

hmm...doing it on overclock, you could probably get a better time...

i just beat the first column on overclock, so as soon as i get the speed out of my system i'll start timing...

The best thing about speed 10 completions is, if you set a new personal record, then watch it, you realize how much better you could do it normally. Also, everything looks slower by comparison, so immediately playing a level that requires precision makes it easier.

Also, on topic, congrats squibbles.

That's actually quite a feat.
Congrats, and I suppose it's also a public challenge to see if anyone can do better? ;P

Dang.
I've only beaten like 2 columns, and that took more than 14 hours I'm sure.

Congrats, dude!

Just gave column 0 a shot, using 5x overclock, got a 40 minute run.
I would not recommend this method to anyone else: playing with high overclocks is extremely infuriating, and by the end of the column I was literally shaking with anger and my obscenity count had gone into the thousands.

...yeah.

yeah, i've only played through it on ten to get the sigbar, but five might work. i still think it'd be easier to speedrun on 0

just beat through it on overclock 5

got 39 minutes

nothing wrong with overclock 5, i'd just recommend playing on 10 first

the next step would be the whole 20 Nreality columns.

Those 100 and 110 columns will kill.

meh not really. After a good hour, I beat about half of column 110. Most other columns take about 1 and a half to 3 hours. 80 took.... I don't even know. It was actually not that bad. for some reason, mount doom was harder than MTI for me. Anyways, I think it could be done. I wouldn't be able to do it though. I Just don't have the time.... or patience... (omg i'm still on ep. 116)

New .sol on my new computer, so I might try prove my seven hour claim. Haven't played in ages though.

*Begins on 00-0*

Edit: Twenty eight minutes for the first column.
