Congrats dude! One of the most informative runs of the SGDQ, especially incredible since you just were two to commentate during the run. GG to ProtoAus as well.
wow, i used to speedrun Hl a few years back, was never too good but still loved it. Its cool to see all the new strats that people use. Keep the runs going :)
I've always been amazed how far people get in a game in so little time. It takes me hours to get through most of the game and not even be able to do the boss fight!
Just saying, this run is not fully legit - at 12:23 he has 40HP and 4 nades, then he opens console, loads a savegame from a completely another run, and has 54HP and 5 nades. Other than that, it's a very great speedrun, enjoyed it thoroughly! Oh and before anyone starts hating on the speedrunner for this, let me mention that this even is less for doing official real speedruns, and more for just showing them to the public and watching them, so such things don't really matter a lot. I mean, he cheated, but seriously, who cares?
yeah Proto had to do that because he messed up a trick earlier involving blowing up boxes with a grenade to push them onto the next map. He decided in advance that if that happened he would have that save ready to make sure it was okay from the couch guy
I do! edit: I just noticed you agreed with me on what I said. Before I thought uh... Whatever, I'm dumb and I upped my defense shields way too quickly, nevermind! ._______.
Hey man, it happens a lot In gdq. They got to keep the show fun to watch and not boring if they would restart people would not want to watch everything. This event is all about the money that helps people with cancer soo, who cares if someone cheats a little bit. It's not for the run is for the people (sorry for my bad English or some weird stuff that's in there I did my vbest XDD)
PomP yes there are a lot of tutorials for test chamber skip, but there's none without crosshair. I think that they just had to practice a lot to lineup correctly without using a crosshair, but if you wanna do this trick you should do it with pause buffering, it's easier.
Proto discovered the skip, but apparently Maxam figured out how to do it without the crosshair, involving getting into that corner at a specific angle then not changing your angle at all until the trick
Yep. In Steam Half-Life you can choose between the 1998 "standard-definition" models or the 2001 "high-definition" models. In the PS2 port all models are the HD versions. In the HD Pack, the MP5 was changed to an M4 Carbine and the Glock 17 to a Beretta. All the other weapons just received minor changes.
How does he change fps? Others do it through pausing in other games in here it seems like a command that is sort of cheat(?) Know it's been used forever in half life runs though.
you can bind an fps command to any key or mouse button. like "fps_max 20" or "fps_max 99.5". Since you don't need cheats on to use it, it's not a cheat.
It's a marathon run and when your estimate is under an hour or under 30 min your +/- is like 4 minutes? It's not his legit runs he's wr holder there's probably like a dozen other points he would have reset in a non marathon in that run it wasn't 'competing' for the wr, which is like 21 minutes
i know bhop man its like cs 1.3 all over again but i think they did patch it in half life so u need to hold spacebare to jump like that otherwise its impossible even phoon cant do that
He is not using space bar, requires much more precision and shit, he use the wheel of the mouse, and scrolling he can buffer a LOT of jumps before touching the ground
e.g., in console: bind kp_end "fps_max 20"; bind kp_downarrow "fps_max 60" Press 1 on the numpad to limit framerate to 20, press 2 to set it back to 60.
VidaGoGo I can’t think of many games/categories where saving and loading are disallowed in speed runs. Obviously this run ended up using a backup save to make it more marathon safe, but it’s GDQ, not like he’s submitting this to a leaderboard.
I am far from a speedrun snob, and I understand that there are many different categories that runs fall under. That being said, wtf is with the rail console command? Is that allowed? I have never seen console commands allowed in a run. Can someone clarify this for me?
It's allowed because this isn't an official, leaderboard submitted run. Things have to be marathon safe to make it within the allotted time, so it's allowed, yes.
Runner introduction starts at 00:26. Run starts at 00:38.
thank you GDQ, very cool!
Must've been funny for the soldiers seeing a bloke in an orange suit hop passed them at Mach 3
love the dad on the couch. and the cheery nature of the runner.
thank you :)
Congrats dude! One of the most informative runs of the SGDQ, especially incredible since you just were two to commentate during the run. GG to ProtoAus as well.
I wish the half life speedrun community was bigger, it's such a cool game. The couch was great, but it would have been better were it full
Half-Life has got to be my favorite game to watch for speedruns, the game just flows so smoothly.
Just wish they were able to count to 3 and make the best game ever possible to exist.
Seriously
Shout out to Papa Proto for being an awesome supportive dad.
Great to see runners who actually still have fun playing the game.
The moment you realize, that Half-Life was released BEFORE the runner was conceived...
Dad's favorite game
I've been playing HL since 1998 release day and I had no idea that scientist could heal you.... wtf?
How did you survive in the game?
If you are cautious, your health would never get that low, and you would never even know that was a possibility. I didn't...
Still the best game for speedruns. Been watching it since 2006 and never got tired of it.
commentary was exceptional in this. Learned a lot. Thanks for that.
Have a glass of water for gods sake!
wow, i used to speedrun Hl a few years back, was never too good but still loved it. Its cool to see all the new strats that people use. Keep the runs going :)
I remember watching Half-Life and thinking "wow, the graphics are amazing!!"
épinards & caramel I wish I was there at that time and your age. Sounds like the golden days of classic gaming
still amazing
That era still has an appealing look IMO.
I got a Voodoo 2 card with 12 MB memory just for this game.
brutal
"They're waiting for you, Gor...don... he's already there."
Half-Life speedrun is so amazing to watch.
"Gordon, you need to get to the surface and oh hey you've already killed the alien leader cool see you in 20 years."
😂
ProtoAus: mhehehehe
Covert muffin #2 anyone?
it's a cute laugh
ILikeActions Peter griffin junior
This ASMR is amazing

LIKE A SPEED DEMON
THROUGH IVY
THROUGH OUR CONNECTOR
One of the top 5 games i've ever played to this day!
Great run , great to see an aussie , keep up the good work
Man Half Life! The FPS that revolutionized the genre. All those SFX are taking me back big time!
Nice to see all this rock solid bhopping. Makes me want to fire up some TFC skills maps again.
Im kinda glad they were explaining everything, I know shit about speed running and it was nice hearing about all the different strats he was using.
wheres quadrazid at
jsXanatos I ate him
Good stuff Proto and Alex!
my favorite runners together
I've always been amazed how far people get in a game in so little time. It takes me hours to get through most of the game and not even be able to do the boss fight!
It's true. Running this game, even badly, is incredibly fun.
AlexH0we's commentary is always top notch
I loved his laugh, amazing run and broken game
Very cool! I've played this game many times and there's still a lot I could learn to do!
Having his dad there is so cute.
32 minutes and done. I was still hanging out in the kitchen after that time.
lol The giggles make this better
I love them haha, makes him more loveable
Absolutely amazing
9:27 "This is my hiding spot".
Classic Proto hahaha
This runs have become so optimised.
SCIENTISTS CAN HEAL YOU??? IT'S 2019 AND I DIDN'T KNOW
I didn't find out until 2020.
why does he remind me of swag, like braxton swag pierce
I love hl speed run
dope run / game
STAHP!
DARGH!
is it just me or this guy looks like Dev1ce from CSGO ?
yeah hes a young device, i 100% agree
Damn dad get off reddit there's things happening
Actually, the dad is recording his son's run.
Someone get that guy a drink... good lord
man i wish i couldnt hear their mouths when they talk
oh my fucking god me too
*mlam mlam*
Couldn't finish the video
He sounds parched.
Give the man a glass of water!
Top 10 most iconic Anime Laughs xD
Sourceruns with their 6 minute run really lets this run look insanely long even though theirs is segmented
they used save warping which wouldnt be that fun to watch
Can anyone here explain the whole lowering FPS thing?
Gordon: Heh physics.
Soldiers: The what?
Just saying, this run is not fully legit - at 12:23 he has 40HP and 4 nades, then he opens console, loads a savegame from a completely another run, and has 54HP and 5 nades.
Other than that, it's a very great speedrun, enjoyed it thoroughly!

from the couch guy
What Alex the couch guy is saying is very true
I do!
edit: I just noticed you agreed with me on what I said. Before I thought uh... Whatever, I'm dumb and I upped my defense shields way too quickly, nevermind! ._______.
Hope you consider using a less sensitive microphone next time. Had to watch it muted.
Hey man, it happens a lot In gdq. They got to keep the show fun to watch and not boring if they would restart people would not want to watch everything.

It's not for the run is for the people (sorry for my bad English or some weird stuff that's in there I did my vbest XDD)
Anyone whose seen Ping Pong the Animation.. this guy is exactly like Peco
When someone manages to get sub 30...minds will be blown.
amazing !!!
What console command did he input when he went to the “on a rail” chapter?
looks like "load rail" which seemed to have loaded a savegame previously made
i just realised he loaded an illegal save in power up because he failed the grenade trick lmao
"Please save"
I wonder what would Freeman's Mind be like at this speed
How on earth do they even discover these tricks? Some of them are so random its unreal how they even found them
damn hes cute
It kinda makes me sad that I took ten hours to beat this game and this guy beats it in less than half an hour on his channel.
How does he do the test chamber skip with no crosshair?
Dude he discovered the trick
SaC SeBaS right, but is there a tutorial or some shit, I'm trying to learn it
PomP yes there are a lot of tutorials for test chamber skip, but there's none without crosshair. I think that they just had to practice a lot to lineup correctly without using a crosshair, but if you wanna do this trick you should do it with pause buffering, it's easier.
SaC SeBaS thanks!
Proto discovered the skip, but apparently Maxam figured out how to do it without the crosshair, involving getting into that corner at a specific angle then not changing your angle at all until the trick
All right :)
That IS swaag
Just wish they would release 3, just to see how it ends -_-
It might be just me, but protoaus looks like rubberross
what keys do these speedrunners use for binds lol
jsXanatos I'm pretty sure the only custom key bind he used for this run was too make the jump bound to the scroll wheel for faster jumps.
nah we use a lot more binds that dont come in the options menu, like the fps values, crappy texture bind, weapon binds etc etc etc
whats up janus syndicate
Framerate bind
Jump bind
Crounch bind
Save load bind
yeah but what keys on your keyboard do you hit for each
How does he drop the FPS at will?
fps_max command bound to a key via the console
Anyone know which patch this is? Is this a true WON iteration or replicated in steam?
guy on couch smoked a joint before this
Can anyone tell me how he lowers hes fps at Will?
You can bind it in the console. For example: bind m "fps_max 20"
I used an m14 instead of the smg he is using. Is there different guns in different ports?
Yep. In Steam Half-Life you can choose between the 1998 "standard-definition" models or the 2001 "high-definition" models. In the PS2 port all models are the HD versions.
In the HD Pack, the MP5 was changed to an M4 Carbine and the Glock 17 to a Beretta. All the other weapons just received minor changes.
I want to see odyssey ;-;
29:26 EEK!!

12:25 he literally cheated loading a presaved file?
wtf
nice moves otherwise good job
It's a marathon run and when your estimate is under an hour or under 30 min your +/- is like 4 minutes? It's not his legit runs he's wr holder there's probably like a dozen other points he would have reset in a non marathon in that run it wasn't 'competing' for the wr, which is like 21 minutes
재미있다. 근데 화면을 보는동안 구역질나고 머리가 아파왔다.
으어어
mlem mlem mlem
there is no way you can bhop like that without script
i know bhop man its like cs 1.3 all over again but i think they did patch it in half life so u need to hold spacebare to jump like that otherwise its impossible even phoon cant do that
He is not using space bar, requires much more precision and shit, he use the wheel of the mouse, and scrolling he can buffer a LOT of jumps before touching the ground
And no, in the gold source nothing in speed tech was patched
Is that Ouma irl?
How does he lower fps on the fly?
e.g., in console: bind kp_end "fps_max 20"; bind kp_downarrow "fps_max 60"
Press 1 on the numpad to limit framerate to 20, press 2 to set it back to 60.
youre gonna need a shitload of binds
please give some water to the guy speaking from the couch
Very precice.
Half life(:
wht the fk just happen?
HM-HMHM
Fun to watch, no doubt, but those spots with constant save/loads (and loading alternate file) really don't make it legit.
VidaGoGo I can’t think of many games/categories where saving and loading are disallowed in speed runs. Obviously this run ended up using a backup save to make it more marathon safe, but it’s GDQ, not like he’s submitting this to a leaderboard.

Thanks for that explanation
Invite slvm
the highest iq speedrun
So high he cheated and no one noticed. I mean it's just a showcase but still lol
it's gauss, pronounced like guh-ouse, not gorze
Hmhmhmhm
-chooses the most boring thumbnail for the best run
"Angle perfect" -> "1 frame trick" -> "1 frame at 100FPS" -> "130 milliseconds". These guys have no idea what they are talking about.
yes they do lol
Why are the scrawny kids always the weirdest
I donno this is pretty standard australian behavior.
464th viewer!
Great player. Lame run with console.
