In mid-2004, Sad acquired a TV tuner card to be able to make videos, and naturally, they came.  Russell has openly stated that he doesn't care about being atop a game's overall charts, but rather that he picks his spots, and does so with exceeding efficiency.  From the floor dive in [[Death Chamber]] to reduce the 3rd and 5th missions of that level under 42 seconds each (and later under 37 through optimization), to the post-death emerald collection in [[Security Hall]]'s hard mode, to a number of fake walls in multiple other levels (including [[Casinopolis]] where it can be used to bypass the main objective of that level entirely and reduce it to almost nothing), he consistently surprises the gaming world with a series of new discoveries.  Most notably, Russell analyzed the treasure hunting stages in both [[Sonic Adventure]] series games, stages oft-begrudged for their random elements which can take hundreds of tries to manipulate properly, and revealed the ideal way of playing them.  He currently holds 11 of the hunting stage [[world record]]s, down from all 14 at one point due to the recent efforts of [[Stephen Chan|yoshifan]].
