This is about ''man versus machine''. This is about taking gaming ''above'' and ''beyond''. [[speed run|Faster times]]. [[high score|Higher scores]]. More insane stunts. Stuff you didn't think was humanly possible. If you already know what you're doing, and want to know how to do it a hell of a lot better, you have come to the right place.

To put it simply, this is man versus machine. Not machine-assisted man versus machine, and not man versus man, although there's nothing wrong with that. This is about pounding the computer into a bloody pulp.
