The speaker shares their experience of attempting a blind speedrun of the game "Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends". They chose this game due to its familiarity and the fact that no one had done a speedrun of it yet. They set additional rules for their run, such as completing the main game mode and receiving a gold medal for each recipe.
The speaker struggled initially, making mistakes and taking longer than expected on some recipes. They had to redo some recipes multiple times, which added to the run time. They faced particular challenges with the mango pudding recipe, which required precise timing and memory. Despite these difficulties, they persevered and successfully completed all 80 recipes, achieving a time of 6 hours, 47 minutes, and 27 seconds.
They expressed a desire to submit their run to speedrun.com, but they need to wait seven more days due to account restrictions. They also mentioned upcoming merchandise releases. The speaker concluded by expressing their pride in completing the speedrun and their eagerness to participate in future runs.
