Speed demos archive
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
SDA (Speed demos archive) is an extremely shitty site with an even shittier layout that hosts so-called "skill based" (read: flukey) video game runs. The videos are played on their original console and the administrator requests a recording of the nerd (OH NOES!) playing the game with his shit-stained hands to ensure that the bastard didn't cheat.

Contributors and members
Most of the speedrun contributors to SDA are sexless geeks who suck both at life and video games, but have figured a way to gain a false title on the internet as a LEETMASTER OF [insert game title here] The players themselves are commonly misinterpreted by the public as having "skills" at a game. But the truth is: most of the speedruns were the result of replaying the game hundreds of times before submission, meaning that the final product is a fluke and not based on any actual skills. The actual, typical outcome of an SDA member playing a game would be far below average.
In July 2008 a newcomer designed a new site for SDA and parsed the entire website into a database. However, due to personal grudges on the part of admins, the entire project was destroyed and the user banned. This alternate site now exists on a secondary domain: speeddemosarchive.info.
Speedruns
The speedruns themselves are a rough demonstration of the fastest humanly possible way to beat the game. But the visual result is completely fucking lame and bears little to no difference from tool-assisted speedruns except the fact that the contributor didn't waste a couple hours of his life saving and reloading states to produce a "perfect speedrun" but instead wasted months of his worthless life reloading from the beginning each time he fucked up.
Either way, the results are the same: extremely lame-looking and style-lacking worthless videos consisting of the player purposely bumping into enemies or committing suicide to "save time" and doing anything but creatively exploring the game, taking on a variety of challenges and beating the game in style.
The site, to the present day, is obessessed with the crappy, FPS title Quake and is first priority on the site. When it comes time for a new speedrun of Quake to come up every last other video can piss off because the site loves it so much even though everyone has seen enough of that game played on the site over 9000 times.
Format
The videos are then hosted on the site as multimedia format videos, officially making SDA the #1 most useless fucking site to waste gigabytes of bandwidth on in order to see incredibly lame videos of geeks playing video games.
