    Yeah - the slowed down music is strange.

    Also the direction keeps changing. He starts at Heuston, then he's running from the Museum towards Heuston, then back along that stretch again. Like the audio - it's subtly jarring.

    Yeah jarring is the word - was trying to figure out what way he was actually going, given it's jumping all over the place geographically. I reckon it was stitched together from a few 'runs'.

    Weird, weird video.

    I was waiting for him to run into the liffey, then looking for a bubble of gas rising from the river bed, while the numbers tick down to his doom...

    Maybe next time...

    That lad is rapid. Fair play to him.

    Should have tied a balloon to a fox and have it following behind to really make it feel like sonic.

    Orange runners and a sonic hat does not make one sonic. I expect for his next video that he don's the full on sonic suit.

    Not as bad as Sonic 2006. Then again, not much is. :p

    Additional Notes: Must try harder

    That music, it's like the person playing momentarily forgets what the next note is before continuing on.

    Whoever is playing the music either has no rhythm or has no clue what the original sounds like.

    Also second crime, it sounds like he's trying to play the PAL 50hz slowed down version :pac:

    If the music really bothers you, just mute the video and open up the actual greenhill song up on youtube side by side.. :)
