I have been wondering why the internet is taking special notice about
this run in particular. (It's not the first one of its kind. The first
multigame-TAS beats Megaman X and X2 with one controller input, and
there's another that beats Megamen 3 through 6.)
Maybe it's the combination of multigame-TAS and Mario that's so special.

Or maybe it's just that *this* one happened to get picked up by Wired on a
slow day.

It's not the only (nor the first) non-gaming-specific (or even
gaming-specific) to publish a story about it.
