Quantcast



Santa's dead. HAHAHAH, pwned. OK, now that that's out of the way I got some questions for you. Are you lonely tonight? Do you find yourself with nothing to do? Are you as much of a loser as I am? Yes? OK, I thought so. Join me, won't you, in watching this amazing 30-minute speed run through the original Half-Life. Get out the popcorn and crowbars, cause you're about to be entertained.

I've seen this video a long time ago on Google Video, and always wanted to find it again, so thank you for finding it Summa! I never got the chance to finish watching it.

@Gamechamp
Circle jumping, quite common among higher skill gamers playing Quake-based FPS games. It's a weird bug that allows you to move faster than normal by jumping and moving your mouse in quarter circles, or something, and it's technically a "bug", but has intentionally never been removed. Also, he makes rampant use of various "rocket jumping" techniques with explosive weapons, along with the Gauss gun with instant 180 degrees turning. I've never tried mastering circle jumping though, but the other techniques are far simpler to execute.

I think there 2 heat active in this run: no falling damage (insane jump from bridge down to little river), and disabled trip-mines: the building topside where loads of em are placed and will blow up everything (and insta-killy you) when you trigger one, he just runs through all of them..

In HL1 if you land in Water or grab a ladder, no matter how far you fall you take 0 damage, and he does it every time he falls

Supposedly, tripmines actually are activated only after a second or so after they are spawned. So it is simply possible that if you run fast enough through the mine spawn trigger, you can run past it faster than it activates.
