Mega Happy Video Compilation Super Game Fun Time

Ok, so here's the rub: I want to see videos of awesome shit in games. This isn't a chance to share awesome stuff that you've done in games, because those threads suck for lack of videos and stuff that people THINK is awesome but really isn't.
Here's some examples of interesting compilations from games that some of you might like:
Metal Gear Solid Soldier Stupidity series - A series of compilation videos showing the stupidity of the soldiers in Metal Gear Solid... I don't even know if I needed to explain that, given the title of the videos, but maybe someone is that stupid. Like the soldiers.

Super Mario Galaxy Tricks Collection - A compilation of trick jumps and short-cuts in Super Mario Galaxy. I watched it, and I don't think there's anything really spoiled in here, but be warned that you might not like it if you haven't played a lot of the game yet.

Obligatory mention: The Daigo video - This has made the rounds so many times that I can't believe no-one would have heard of it, but I figure I'd post it anyway to stop anyone else doing so. For those of you that haven't seen it, the excellence of the moment at the end is that in order to parry in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike you have to press the forward key within a 0.3 second time-frame, as far as I'm aware, and if you mess it up once then it leaves you open for attack. The fact that he does it 13 or so times, including some hits that he doesn't even NEED to parry, makes it an awesome display of skill. Now let's not mention it again.

Just a quick note: If it's not immediately apparent (For people who haven't played a game or if something is hard to spot happening at first glance) why a video is showing something impressive, then make sure to explain it. Also, if we could try and avoid videos just showing ONE thing in a game, unless it's monumental (Like the Daigo video used to be), that'd be awesome. I'd rather see compilations. Finally, compilations of fighting game combos are only impressive if you're sad enough to be good at them. Let's try and leave those out because I KNOW that most people don't find them impressive.

Last time I saw a thread like this (like a year+ ago) I ended up going on a buying spree that angered the wife

Note that this is the last level, so if you care about shmup spoilers, don't watch. But if you love awesome, do watch.
This is the best video.

Edit: The Big Adventure of Owata's Life. No more need be said.
Neither of those videos are awesome. The EVE one, particularly, is only awesome for EVE players, because even though I've played a little bit of EVE, and enjoyed it, I don't know what the shit is going on.
Houk has the right idea. I'd completely forgotten about those awesome Ikaruga videos. You've already posted chapter 5, and I can find chapter 1 and 3 with the hands on screen, but not the others. Some idiot decided to put the others up with the video stretched and not showing the guy's hands. Anyway:
Ikaruaga - One man controlling both players:

SUPER HAPPY EDIT: Also, can people stop posting videos with no explanation of what they are? That sucks big time.
