The people who have managed to play all three Dark Souls games, in a row, without getting hit are frankly staggering.
Re: Speedrun
My standards for speedrunning got way inflated by my brief time in the industry. The QA folks play the same game, over and over, and wind up better than I would have naively expected to be humanly possible. (Eg, playing all the way through Thief in 55 minutes, just using the bow and trick arrows and never confronting or killing any NPCs. Or something like that -- I don't remember the details, but I remember going, "You can do that?")

The zoledronate information sounds very promising, especially in respect of extending "healthspan". Most countries with shorter lifespans could probably already extend them with basic public health interventions.
