Eli actually works for some special effects studio and is currently making bank. He stopped doing halo stuff when microsoft (not 343) force changed his name because "nak3d" is suggestive. He was slowly losing interest in halo in general but that was the final nail for him. He also apparently got some disease or illness that has made it hard for him to speak for very long terms, like 2-4 hours a day. So even if he was still into content creating it would be very spaced out due to this. He also got married around 2017/18 something like that. I had to ask Joker who was the Halo 4 speedrunner during Eli's day cause they used to make videos together. Eli was a treasure to the semi-hardcore casual group and will forever be missed

I remember binging Eli's zero shot runs back in 2014 on my older sister's 3ds lol. It sucks that he's gone. Quitting just because of the name is stupid, but the other reasons he quit are pretty valid.

I remember when I finally got the achievement for Halo CE in under 3 hours, such a sigh of relief! I then tried Halo 2 and quit.

After watching this I just manged to get a 2:52 on keys legendary Thanks to you brother ! :)

CE was the first game I ever played at an age where I shouldn't have been playing video games it's so nostalgic for me and I still go back to it every now and again. I also have a love for Halo Custom Edition the firefight and single player maps were tons of fun to play around in

I'm here before you blow up. I appreciate how detailed you are, very rare with smaller channels. I actually learned a few things I never knew from this video like the sentinels at the end of 343 Guilty Spark or that the banshee doesn't need to be flown out to finish Keyes. I've done just about everything including LASO yet never knew those two things lol. Extremely underrated and can't wait to see you succeed even more.

Just got into this channel, I like Halo but as someone new to speedrunning it's pretty great

Gotta love the South Park montage song input.

Despite banshee grab being the easier one for some reason i just couldn't get it so i opted for the bridge fall, was much more consistent with it. Can never get bored of playing this game.

Can you continue this series of Beating (ALL) Halo games in _ Minutes? Seriously enjoy the content! The editing, gameplay and explanations of speed running tricks is great! I enjoy it because you’re learning the tricks as well, and not a 15 year veteran boringly explaining how to do so! (Not saying that’s bad; I don’t mind walk through tutorials) I just like the way you go about it. Also collecting achievements and learning how to run these games is entertaining! I can see this channel getting bigger, and also maybe branching into different games, learning the tricks and making more content to keep it going! Best of luck! 🤙🏽 liked and subbed.

I will at some point. The issue with it being a regular series is that it takes a ton of time. Each game is a completely different speed run, and I'd have to start from scratch. So, it's more likely something that I'll add to every few months rather than every few weeks.

nak3d eli is my childhood, im glad people still respect him a ton

Marty..... He's killing the marines!

I barely got it done in under 3 hours - Speedrunners are something else

Garish is the GOAT at speed running he set and beat the world record multiple times. He's on another level

I know this is supposed to be the most “fair” halo game but sometimes it really doesn’t feel like it

You should do voice over jobs

I believe my time to clear T&R on legendary is forever.

And to this day doing beating all campaigns under 3 hours is something I will never be able to do because how unlucky I am with the enemies

I’m typically a lurker but for some reason I’ve begun replaying all the halo games to beat par score. I liked your walk through on the cartographer video. Can you make more for every halo level? Im not sure if you speed run all the games. Great videos thank you.
