http://www.ctheory.net/articles.aspx?id=609 "The individual actor, who finds a way to manipulate a given technology without creating a trace of their action from the perspective of the machine's input or executive processes, is becoming nonexistent technically." There's a section on Speedrunning about 2/3 of the way through, which has several citations to TASVideos and in particular Bisqwit and Finalfighter's old megarockman run. Haven't slogged through the whole thing yet, but it seems intriguing...

Well, sure it's bullshit, but it's about video games! Yay!

That reminds me of this madness I chanced upon: http://www.videoludica.com/news/gamestudies/saggio-il-videogioco-inesistente?get=RuffinoVideogameThatNeverWas.pdf&lang=en Apparently Cheetahmen II doesn't exist either.

That is partially correct, though. you skip two levels, don't you?

Close enough. The second boss. The level 4 boss. The "ape man".
