Perfect Dark SPEEDLORE: WAR! Perfect Agent - Expert's Claim (E02 with Karl Jobst)

Perfect Dark's final bonus level... and a stage set where one speedrunner's remarkable, unproven claim, went questioned on and off for more than a decade; all the while, many other runners were playing their absolute best trying to match the world record that was allegedly set all these years ago. Come on this journey through gaming & N64 history where we explore the characters & strategies which made Perfect Dark's WAR! Perfect Agent such a ride over the last 20 years!
