Speed Game is a French internet show about speed running video games. It was originally known as "88 mph" back in 2009 but changed its name when it got a reboot on the French video game site jeuxvideo.com in 2011. It is hosted by Ronan Letoqueux (nicknamed "Real Myop") and Yann Chauvière (nicknamed "Coeur de Vandale") and shows different kinds of speedruns such as tool-assisted speedrun or single-segment speedrun. Some runs may be played live when a guest is invited.
Speed Game contains exemples of:
- Accentuate the Negative: Both Coeur de Vandale and Real Myop don't seem to like the credits song of ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.Real Myop: This ending song...
Coeur de Vandale: This might be the only song that sucks a little.
Real Myop: A little ?
Coeur de Vandale: Totally. American Elevator Music power.
Real Myop: Yeah, what were they thinking ? I don't think it was a Japanese who was in charge for this. - Black Comedy: When Real Myop tries to make the audience guess "Thriller" by Michael Jackson in the Christmas episode.Real Myop: You'll write it in the comments if you recognize this great American pop-artist... half-black half-white.
- Catchphrase: "It's not good to be a boss in a tool-assisted speedrun."
- Christmas Episode: During Christmas of 2011, speedruns of Elf Bowling 1 & 2, Bible Adventures, and a special Mario Paint tool-assisted speedrun by Real Myop are commented.
- Gasp!: Real Myop is usually stunned by certain Tool-assisted Speedruns.
- Meaningful Name: Real Myop is short for "Réalisateur Myope" which means "Blind Director" in french.
- Odd Couple: Coeur De Vandale and Real Myop. One is a calm host who explains the speedrun in most of the episodes while the other is a jokester who makes remarks about the craziness of certain speedruns. They are actually friends since childhood, though.
- Parody Episode: There is a special episode where Real Myop comes as a guest who presents his tool-assisted speedrun of... the Super NES version of Road Avenger. It turned out to be a joke.
- Sarcasm Mode: Real Myop, Coeur de Vandale as well as a speedrunner guest tend to mock the story of Resident Evil by being surprised that Wesker and Barry turn out to be the bad guys.
- Significant Anagram: Real Myop is an anagram of Play More.
- Spoiler: Every game they play gets spoiled since the point of a speedrun is to play a game from start to finish in one quick setting.
- Stay in the Kitchen: When Coeur De Vandale talks about how a speedrunner always choses Zoey in his Left 4 Dead Speedruns and how she can notice that her friends are dead while being miles away from them.Coeur de Vandale: She has medium powers. After all, she's a woman, it's logical.
- They Changed It, So It Sucks: Real Myop complains about the new voice actress of Peach in Super Mario 64 DS.
- Two Gamers on a Couch: Even though it's unknown if the two hosts are on an actual couch (since they are behind a huge Super NES controller), they both appear to be sitting together.
