Really? How many functional adults are there?
That depends heavily on the game. You can see runs of games that aren't super popular to run with so many large mistakes in them that you can very realistically say: "Yeah, I can do that better.". Spend one or two hours every evening on running and you can break world records in weeks.
Most runners that aren't mental are either still in school and have fuckloads of time or run not so competitive games.

But somebody that's grown up and thinks he can go and break records in something like Golden Eye or SM64? They will either get a rude awakening or are somewhat crazy and have much too much time on their hands.
Repeating something loads of time isn't in itself crazy, however. Tetris or Pinball are basically always the same with minor randomness to them. Is it crazy to try and get better for fun at a repetitive task?

You would think by the 100th time you've played through a game as seriously as possible that you'd be sick of it.

Besides Tetris and Pinball are meant to be played over and over and over, whereas you don't really get the intended experience from GoldenEye if you have to restart the mission all the time because you took a second too long at one section.

Goldeneye is overrated trash, though. Ugly then, ugly now. Unplayable ALWAYS.

Imagine spending a billion US dollars to be a loser. Could've watched animu and be one for free.

Lets get real here, goldeneye doesn't hold up today no matter how many first places it gets in top 10 lists. Time splitters holds up much better.

100% this. It was shit the day it launched.

Console faggots didn't know any better because it was the first time any of them used analog controls for a FPS.

Of course is TS better. More game modes, more weapons, and you actually have two analogue sticks.

Well, yeah, but that's not the point. It's very competitive with decades worth of pure autism at work.
