Meet the speedrunner who shagged his way to a Fallout world record

cre: Meet the speedrunner who shagged his way to a Fallout world record

“If you don’t know what a Sex% race is, it’s about starting a new game and having sex as quickly as possible.”

That’s how Fallout speedrunner tomatoanus – which I assume refers to the green part of a tomato – describes the Fallout Anthology Sex% run in his latest speedrunning video, posted after he set a new world record last week. last.

“I first saw speedruns in 2011 when a friend showed me AGDQ 2011,” tomatoanus tells me. “At the beginning of 2017, I was fed up with Dota and was looking for a new competitive hobby. AGDQ 2017 was underway, so I watched pretty much every race and decided to do my My first build was Fallout 4 Any% and I’ve been running Fallout games ever since. Tomatoanus actually holds the Any% world record for Fallout 4, having completed the game in just 11 minutes and 12 seconds.

“Sex% was a category created in 2016 by a runner named JshaKhajiit,” explains tomatoanus. “After harassing enough [in my Twitch chat] I finally gave in and did a few races with it in 2018.” Tomatoanus was unhappy with his time in the category, and although he left Sex% behind for a while, he took the mental note to come back to it in the future. And that’s exactly what he did.

Last week, tomatoanus managed to have consecutive sex in all five main Fallout games in just 23 minutes and 7 seconds. Since the Sex% race is governed by the same rules as Any%, trouble is allowed. Naturally, a race of this magnitude comes with interesting feats, some of which lead to hilarious (and disturbing) results.

“In Fallout 3, you can totally have sex as a ‘baby’ if you leave the vault out of bounds,” says tomatoanus. “It’s actually incredibly annoying because the baby’s movement speed is so slow.” Luckily, despite the fact that you technically leave the vault as a baby, Bethesda seems to have taken great pains to ensure that babies can’t actually have sex. “I put baby in quotes,” he continues, “because when you’re a baby in the game, you’re actually just a shrunken adult model. They didn’t make a baby for the character to play. So you’re not a minor, you’re just a little short.

While having sex as a baby in Fallout 3 is technically just having sex as a shrunken adult, you really can have sex at age 10. In fact, this is actually the fastest way to complete Fallout 3 Sex%. “The idea of ​​racing in Fallout 3 is pretty fun,” tomatoanus continues. “You celebrate your 10th birthday, then overuse fast save and fast load while walking through walls to abandon your surprise birthday party and rush to Megaton to have sex instead.”

Fallout 4 also has some interesting Sex% strategies. Sex% runners change the language from English to German in order to increase the speed of dialogue and save time in the long run. “If you play the whole game in Any%, French is actually the fastest language, being about 11 seconds faster than English,” explains tomatoanus. “If you do Sex%, then you’re only really playing during the intro of the game, and German is about two seconds faster than French in that time frame. So we’re using German for sex% .” German, the language of love.

While language swapping sounds more like an egghead strategy than having your 10-year-old Lone Wanderer lose his virginity to a Megaton worker, there’s also room for silliness in Fallout 4’s Sex% Strategies. “When we get to the Third Rail in Goodneighbor to have sex with Magnolia, she’s actually singing a song,” tomatoanus explains. “Naturally, we can’t talk to her while she’s performing.”

In order to rectify this, the Sole Survivor needs to make a bit of a scene. “As we run to the stage where she is singing, we hit one of the patrons at a table with a safety baton,” tomatoanus tells us. “It causes everyone in the area to become our enemy and immediately aggro us, including Magnolia. When we put away our gun, they all forgive us, and Magnolia doesn’t start singing again. This means that we can talk to her and convince her to have sex. Interesting romance strategy, but really the fastest way to end a Fallout Anthology Sex% run.

While the Sex% race might seem like fun and fun, there is a serious competitive circuit among Fallout speedrunners. “The thing is, for about a year now, the Sex% category for Fallout 4 has actually been the most competitive,” says tomatoanus. “Myself, Jinjenia and Duchys all traded the record back and forth. Kinda ironic coming from a category called Sex%.”

As for other interesting Fallout races, tomatoanus and some of his fellow Fallout speedrunners have a few things in mind at the moment, which tomatoanus was willing to share with us. “The one I’ve talked about in the past on my stream is something another runner named Jinjenia came up with,” says tomatoanus. “The speedrun is to overdose Mama Murphy in Fallout 4. It starts out normally, but your main objective is to kill her with drugs.

“The route is to warp around the map as usual, then use an exploit to have a container produce medicine over and over again until you get the right ones,” tomatoanus said. “After that, you’re just going to give them all to Mama Murphy.” I mean, Mama Murphy claims to have a special kind of magical power called “The Sight”, which she says can only be channeled through the use of chemicals. So you’re kind of helping him, if not for the whole death part.

It’s important to note that tomatoanus also holds a plethora of other Fallout records. If you visit speedrun.com/Fallout, you’ll see that it ranks incredibly high in the Any% rankings for every major Fallout game, as well as most Sex% records. He also holds the record for fastest official Fallout Anthology Any% run, which means he beat all five Fallout games consecutively faster than anyone else with a time of one hour, 29 minutes. and 47 seconds. If you want to see more tomatoanus runs, you can check it out on YouTube and Twitch.

Probably my favorite thing about this whole article is the fact that “tomatoanus” doesn’t even have a red squiggly line underneath it in Google Docs. It’s a real word.
