I Faked a Minecraft Speedrun - Summary

Summary

The speaker, Danny, is a YouTuber who is not good at video games. He has a friend, Curtis, who is also a YouTuber and a professional gamer. Danny has been plotting his revenge on Curtis for three years after Curtis made a video where he learned a bunch of card tricks that Danny doesn't know. Danny's plan is to trick his audience into thinking he's a good gamer by hiring a professional gamer to help him in a live stream.

Danny starts by pretending to practice speedrunning Minecraft on a live stream. He does this to make it seem like he's getting better at the game. However, he is actually getting worse at the game, which is the opposite of what he intended. He then decides to invite a professional Minecraft speedrunner, Anthony (Curry way), to his house to help him speedrun Minecraft.

Danny and Curry way practice speedrunning Minecraft together for about 4.5 hours. Danny learns a lot from Curry way, but he still struggles with the game. He decides to try to do a fake speedrun on a live stream. He asks Curry way if he will help him with this, and Curry way agrees.

During the live stream, Danny and Curry way play Minecraft together. Danny pretends to be controlling the game, and when he's ready to be done, he says a code word, "dang nabbin", which is their cue for him to secretly turn off his mouse and keyboard so that Curry way can take control.

During the stream, Danny makes several mistakes, and Curry way has to make the same mistakes to make it seem like Danny is actually playing the game. After about an hour, Curry way realizes he made a crucial error, which Danny hears and immediately begins to panic.

Despite the mistakes, Danny manages to finish the speedrun in 30 minutes, which is impossible according to the rules of Minecraft. After the stream, Danny invites Curtis to a Zoom call to ask him about his Minecraft world. Curtis is surprised by Danny's question and doesn't know what to say. Danny then reveals that he was the one who beat the Ender Dragon in Minecraft in 30 minutes, which is impossible.
