Speedrunners Hate Him! The History of Speedrunning Diablo 2's Slowest Class.

A brief history of the Barbarian Normal speedrun in Diablo 2. Massive thanks to all the runners who came along for interviews. It was a true struggle to cut our great conversations down to these tiny snippets.

Editing videos is not a fun task so I only do these very sporadically. Seems I already have a year's work ahead of me updating the 8 player record history and covering the Hell barb records. I only make these because I love D2 speedruns and think they should exist - I don't really get many views so if someone else thinks they can do better (or even lesser!): PLEASE DO. I WILL WATCH THE HECK OUT OF YOUR VIDEOS.
