Black Mesa is the game that went throught all my college lifetime, I'm so glad to participate this run and made a great ending for the part of my youth
The vent at interlopter chapter gives you 'noclip' state to prevent stuck, and everytime you save and load, the game extend few time of the state, I save and load 520+ times there to make sure we have enough time to get the 'noclip' state to the next map
@@mxylrblackmesadeathmatchtv6178ahh thanks, I was wondering why everyone started Nocliping at the end. 🤣 I was like are they burnt out or something? 😅

I did watch previous Half-Life runs so I don't know why I was so surprised when the actual run started in the test chamber. Yet, it still managed to blow my mind. GJ team.
seeing this made me want to give up on speedrunning black mesa because i just can't compete with how quick and complex this really is. i am so slow at this game when speedrunning that i feel like i will never reach this level of speedrunning. this run is amazing, props to the runners!!! :)

@@anglegaming6 ah thanks, it’s just the fact that if I want to at least get a time that I’m happy with then I need to learn some of these really hard tricks. I’m only speedrunning earth levels and even then last time I tried took me around 2 hours. (I’m not so great at speedrunning BM…) On the other hand I do also speedrun P2:SM and my latest attempt I did (not posted because I didn’t record it and I wanna get better at that before trying to submit anything again and I want to make sure that spplice doesn’t accidentally get me another vscript strike (in fact why doesn’t spplice clean temp vscript files???)) was around 57 minutes and last time I checked the wr time was 27 or so. I do kind of do it for fun already but I just want to be not terrible at running BM and get something similar to this. Even almost under an hour would be okay for me.
it's incredibly important to understand this is a segmented run by several runners, they're making a save and all playing a section to see who can do it the fastest, then saving again and repeating the process as a segmented run they get to try each part over and over again until the fastest time is reached, they can do outrageously difficult and unreliable strats because they have infinite attempts and lose no time on the run by retrying when they fail do not compare your own personal runs to this, this one took *3.5 years* to complete in a way all the runners were satisfied with
@@illican yeah, it is segmented but in reality that means this game can be completed around that time in about a few minutes more. It’s crazy to see. I get the whole don’t compare point but if I want to get good then I need to learn some of these tricks that are in normal speedruns
Rather Black Mesa Destroyed Quick :D Well done: - to the devs for creating it - btw, Xen looks awesome! - to the runners for doing what they do best! - to you for stitching everything together! GG WP!
Wow the Xen part was so cool to watch. Don’t get me wrong the whole thing was, but with the frequent going out of bounds and blasting yourself to the loading zone in the first half it was a little hard at times to understand what’s going on as a casual observer. Amazing video though no doubt.

basically the way the sucky air vents work in interloper temporarily gives you noclip and you can abuse this and get noclip for the rest of the game by saving and loading an absurd amount of times to extend the time in which you get noclip
Oh shit, the sorta modern version of "Half Life done in (I forgot when they manage to speedrun it at that time)" Edit: Oh my goodness, End Credits 1.....

No wonder G-Man wanted to hire this guy
In HL Speedrun, in final scene Freeman get out from the train cabin demonstrating G-man that He is an interdimensional super being too!
(had watched to the end) Yep, here it is too, ahah.
Soulless 100 when?
Even after shooting his butt?
Gordon really did come a long way from Black Mesa
30 minutes of Gordon testing his theoretical physics research by phasing through walls
lol fr
yet again proving that physics are in fact theoretical
that one HECU soldier saying "I hit him!" must have felt like he was punching God.

The music in this game goes so hard. Cool run too.
Oh hey Kovic :)
This run changed my chromosome count
+1 chromosomes
Thats how pederushkas achieve their extrachromosomity!
hrt for the poor
to negative or positive?
Now you have the right amount of chromosomes
whoever that managed to hit gordon while flying in 11:30 is a fucking god
This run changed my life (but fr tho it was an honor to be a part of this legendary run)
Question, i can understand the chapter change but how did Gordon recover 100 HP and 30 Energy when loading maps?
"annihilated" is the correct word for this cinematic masterpiece
This run clipped my void
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
oh hi jeepy
oh hi jeepy

Impressive. Very nice.
Let's see the in-bounds run.
Omg, this segmented run SOO good!
Especially from 10:45 to 13:10!
The music is perfectly superimposed, and these perfect movements are simply divine!
I'm happy you appreciate the music mix. Timing of the tracks was something I paid a lot of attention to.
@@the_kovic absolute cinema
@@the_kovic Honestly? It's an unsung art, and you did it really well. Interesting as the run is, it would get a bit mind-numbing without the music.
SourceRuns just proving to world that goldsrc/source/source 2 is the pinnacle of speedrun friendly/speedrun flexable engine. :P
I like the addition of knee skates they added to this remaster! Now, Gordon can travel with style!
this run made me feel unspeakable things

Void Mesa ✅
Wait a minute. If you’re Black Mesa and he’s Done Quick, then who’s flying the plane??
What plane?
epic work , good job team
Absolutely bombastic
That is trippy 0:34
no, it's neccessary
I am so proud to see how far speedrunning of this game has gone. Makes me want to open the game up again.

I'm still in awe of how INCREDIBLE this game looks.
I like how half of the video is Xen. Shows how much Crowbar Collective really did expand it.
I guess, 26:58 for black mesa now is the 20:41 for Half Life
Only now with this run did I realize how much Gordon walked to get to Nihilanth.

What a swell hard working gentleman we have here, Gordon Freeman
Amazing work, very entertaining!
I've been waiting to see this for AGES now !! Glad to finally see it !! :DDDD
We may never find out whether or not they in fact had hostiles.
"I'm fast af boy!" - Dr. Gordon Freeman PhD in theoretical physics.
komegatze should animate that
Two runs back to back? You spoil us, crew. 🙏
i was here and proud to be part of this legendary gaming moment
Holy fucking Jezus shit. Now that is called FAST.

Nicely done, Mr Freeman!
the music in surface tension works so well with the speedrun omg
This guy most definitely deserved the suit.
He earned it.
I knew crouch slide hops were in this game but I didn't expect to see Gordon slithering
really digging the Q4-ass crouch sliding
quite a nice piece of work!
Van confirm, this run is indeed very quick.
Now that the mesa is done, let’s move on to dessert
1:40 to head to the chamber!
surface tension was pure cinema, beautiful run
8:02 security:hey you Freeman right
Sourceruns:no I'm speedruner
imagine the scientists, hecu soldiers and shit seeing gordon flying in the air and clipping through things
Broke Black Mesa so hard at the end just gave you noclip for free lol
Still confused how this happened

so this is what fantastic meant when he said "i have a theoretical degree in physics"
15:21 Strangely, he has no choice but to wait
This run made me lose brain cells. 10/10 masterpiece
This run is a masterpiece!
This run is crazy-in-a-box with a side order of _fries...!_
Flying through Xen is really fun
jumps into a portal, wakes up in another planet and hardly takes his crowbar and casually fires an rpg in his butt
It's kinda interesting how much the Black Mesa speedruns differ from all the other Source games
This run changed my life
Theoretical physicist indeed!
"Mom, can i play on my pc?"
"Sure, sweetie, but just for half an hour"
"I'm gonna go play through Half Life again"
-"Cool. Have a nice flight."
When you don't get paid by the hour.
CINEMA
It seems like the new game is better for both normal gameplay and glitches too lol. amazing run!
For whatever reason that out-of-bounds movements quite resembled me that one that speedrunners use in modern Doom games
And as it is tradition: 1hp left when beating the game!

Nice to see save deletion abused to the absolute limit
It is impossible to hate black mesa, it is such a good remake
Nihilanth : "HE CAN FLY??"
No AI can do this. People can go to their work tomorrow :))
That was epic sauce
And it uses save/reload in half the sections.
Ah yes, I remember all of this from my playthrough.
AWESOME guys!
