While "Fallout 4" was all the rage after its much-anticipated November 2015 release, it's the video game's predecessor, "Fallout 3," that's making headlines this week after a gamer reportedly beat it in less than 15 minutes.
As Polygon.com reports, Youtube user "Rydou" completed the main story of "Fallout 3" in just 14 minutes and 54 seconds -- the amount of time it takes most players to finish creating their character.
It typically takes 24 hours and 47 minutes for the average user to beat the main story, according to howlongtobeat.com.
Rydou's video, which is quickly going viral, has garnered more than 300,000 views in less than a week.
Watch the video below to see Rydou dethrone Petite_Miku, a gamer who reportedly completed "Fallout 3" in just 15 minutes last month.
Rydou claims to have accomplished the feat, in part, by taking advantage of a glitch in the game.
"[Every time] you quickload, the collision detection doesn't work during something like 10 frames, allowing me to clip through objects and walls, in some extent," Rydou wrote on YouTube.
Rydou's achievement, which Kotaku.com has already dubbed a "new world record," took place two days before the start of Awesome Games Done Quick, a biannual video game marathon that focuses on "speedrunning" (in other words, playing games as quickly as possible.)
