he's playing on a keyboard too, i remember the ps1 controls were impossible to use, the jumping doesn't feel responsive at all and requires stupid timing, it's impressive to see him get around with ease.
Oh the days when Tomb Raider was good and full of skill-based gameplay. How I miss you.
Oh yeah, he's definitely ain't firing blanks.

There is more skill involved in the first room of the first tomb raider game than the 2013 effort.
This run is just making me sad again...but in an awesome way.
There's more skill in the tutorial obstacle course at Lara's mansion.
I remember replaying the demo for Tomb Raider II over and over again when it was first released. It was the entirety of the Venice stage and so great.
Yeah, I've never played this game and it's fun to watch and listen to them talk about it. I wish I could stay up to see all of it, but I really should sleep soon.

It is all a little hazy but I remember the games as:
TR1. Exploring tombs
TR2. Swimming underwater pulling levers... shower
TR3. Killing stuff and getting completely lost in big environments
TR4. Tombs again! But not as exciting
TR5. Dat black outfit
...
Underworld. Nice water.
Tomb Raider 2 starts out with a great tomb level and then gets sidetracked for too long with the venice and offshore rig levels, which aren't great. After that it's awesome. Sunken ships, ancient catacombs, epic palace, alternate dimension.
Keep in mind that he is skipping the shit out of the levels. Even the venice and offshore rig levels feature puzzles to solve.

that level design is unparalleled.

^Yeah, Vampire is up afterwards.
Duke Nukem 3D is another game where the character will yell if they fall too great of a distance even if they're landing in water and lose no health.
Have all of them on Steam, will have to try them all!

I'm afraid that if I watch the Bloodlines speedrun I'm going to have to play through the game yet again.
Can you mod out the entire sewer part?

People called Romanes they go the house?
I know there's a console command to skip the hotel, but I think the fastest way around the sewers is just to noclip, lol.
Gonna pass out now, but will get caught up when I wake up.

Vampire is fairly story/narrative/theme heavy, but I don't know how much the run is going to skip/mash through the dialogue, which is where most of it comes from.
There are also some key unskippable moments that transition into combat and the like, which will probably get spoiled, though a good deal are optional and will most likely be skipped.
Personally, I'd probably play it yourself before watching the SR, but like I said, it's gonna depend on how much they mash through. Watching the run will show you some rough spots of the combat mechanics, lol.
On the other hand, a full playthrough of Bloodlines (exploring, etc.) will probably take at least 10-15 hours without a guide.

You're going to have no idea what is going on, but I'd still say itll be spoilery.
Plus without the unofficial patches its going to be buggy as hell.

Welp he plowed right through Ocean House. That level made me jump 5 feet out of my chair at one point. Great example of Half-Life-like scripting in that level.
