==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|This page was created recently. Don't remove this notice too soon.}}<br />
100% All Achievements is a category of {{w|Speedrunning|video game speedruns}} where the goal is to do everything possible in the game, as fast as possible, while getting all achievements. (Many games have a progress bar to track completion of the game, making the "100%" criterion officially defined.) Cueball is attempting a 100% all achievements run for his university, which is a ridiculous pursuit for several reasons. Even though 100% runs for video games can take very long (up to [https://www.speedrun.com/baten_kaitos_eternal_wings_and_the_lost_ocean?h=100&x=mke7v926 two weeks]), they don't even come close to the amount of time needed to complete a single university major, let alone every class. Other factors to take into account are the high costs of university attendance and the vague definition of "all achievements". <br />
<br />
In traditional speedrunning, a {{w|tool-assisted speedrun}} is one done with software such as a video game emulator to perform incredibly precise movements. These tools do not exist in real life{{Citation needed}}, so Cueball may have meant using artificial intelligence or similar "cheats" to illegitimately complete his work. Unassisted speedruns are typically reviewed in full by a moderator of the speedrunning community for that game, to ensure there truly were no tools involved. There is no known community for university speedrunning,{{Citation needed}} so no moderators will be able to review the years of footage to determine whether the speedrun was legitimate.<br />
<br />
Most video sharing services limit the length of uploaded videos, either by size or length, for a variaty of reasons. A decade long video file is almost certianly to big for any service, and would require significant infrasteucture support by the service for it to be allowed.<br />

:[Cueball, arms outstretched, is talking to White Hat.]<br />
:Cueball: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I'm up to the 400-level courses in most departments.<br />
:Cueball: But now one of my advisors is saying I "can't have more than 20 majors" and "need to graduate next year."<br />
:Cueball: It's outrageous!<br />
