"Can someone explain cube throw?" "You throw the cube!" Perfect.

[@BlizzyFoxTF]

51:00 Also the 2nd most viewed twitch clip of sgdq19

[@CalaCrisp88]

The fact that two of them said it in unison made it that much better.

"So a stuck launch… essentially, you get stuck and then you launch."

[@judgment5090]

That was peak comedy

[@Alegost1]

"i´m going to give you a countdown to start the timer....... start"

[@BobBertReal]

He speedran the countdown

[@captaingigglez1605]

Wanted to say this xD

[@Levi_OP]

He used his hands and did three two one to tell them

[@__mk_km__]

"Reportals are hard, one of them is actually frame-perfect" "Tick-perfect or frame-perfect" "Yes." "Okay"

[@happysedits]

tick perfect

[@toastytoaster974]

Imagine speed running a conversation while playing portal 2 at GDQ

[@simple__sigma3287]

As soon as i read this they said it

[@sucettacellapop]

19:11

[@theofficialczex1708]

At 60 FPS, it's frame-perfect. You get a single frame window to hit the wall, because you're going at terminal velocity when you enter the portal, so the flip is just one frame. At higher frame rates you get more frames to execute, but it's the same time period, because the physics are reliant on the tick rate.

[@asmiththeleader]

This run must have come a long way...they saved about 7 years of dialogue 5 times

[@Mayhemzz]

The first runners are only about a third of the way through their runs in 2019.

[@zacharyjohnson9562]

Underrated.

[@boopergoober]

And about 18 million years in loading screens

[@albertlofling7310]

nah they saved 7 years of gameplay over the course of five times, thats why its so cleanly routed in 2019

[@DodgeThatAttack]

dont forget the multiple lifetimes of loading screens

[@drakedbz]

My best "mind blown" moment comes from the end of this game. They explain at one point that the white gel is made from moon rocks, but you don't really think much about it, since it just seems like a random fact the game is throwing at you. After hours of additional gameplay, you get to the final boss and you get stuck... you don't know what to do... then it hits you. There's a hole in the ceiling and you can see the moon! It absolutely blew my mind when I realized I had to shoot the moon XD

[@Funnywargamesman]

Here's the other part, they bankrupted themselves going to the moon for more and more rocks; they could have just shot at the moon.

[@sakuyaizayoi8528]

Chekov’s gun and all.

[@codylee2818]

Ugh. As soon as I saw a big white thing I shot it. I felt so cheated. I didn't realize why the game was ending. I didn't get to solve the final puzzle because I had ingrained the solution into my muscle memory.

[@ethanhunter1567]

"Portal 1 was a much worse coded game." Valve developer: Cries

[@cognizant3252]

It wasn't made by valve. It was a student project at Digipen University. They were then picked up by Valve after the game was finished and released

[@Jfrost9101]

The original game also had a mechanic where you can literally shoot a portal through a portal. It was changed for Portal, but... well, the speedrun kinda brings it back, in a more complex way lol

[@DaDARKPass]

@@cognizant3252 You got the timeline wrong.

[@chadmartin6005]

y

[@vidc4313]

@@cognizant3252 no the first game was also made by valve but by the students you mentioned. the project you were talking about is called narbacular drop and it was the original idea for what later became portal under valve

**slow clap**

[@jinkstkittensen99]

best community

[@cubixthree3495]

Haven't watched the full video and read that as "applesauce." I hate me.

[@Optimusskyler]

42:11 the game thinks you should have momentum, so it gives it to you. You deserve it. ...aww, thanks, game!

[@pronounjow]

If only Modern Sonic worked like that...

[@mauer1]

its really good for a casual game. because it also slows you down. doesnt matter how fast or slow you go if you are in a reasonable threshhold you will get the perfect amount of speed to make a perfect jump.

[@corbin4360]

"Frame perfect or tick perfect?" "Yes"

[@ostya39]

"Okay."

[@erichartmanjr]

i JUST realized the blue lines behind the timer are binary written from top to bottom with a bright line as a 1 and a dark line as a 0, thats incredible.

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

Pretty clever design yeah

[@suttonlea8366]

damn i've watch a lot of these and never noticed

[@HeyItsRed_]

40:16 Terminal velocity of a potato is estimated at about 63.5 m/s while the terminal velocity of a human is around 53 m/s. The terminal velocity of a potato is about 10 m/s faster than the terminal velocity of a human

[@ashtonhoward5582]

Which is why you see the potato fall faster than you towards the end of the fall.

[@JonesCrimson]

Portal - 7min Portal 2 - 1 hour

[@two8three8]

Again, Portal is broken.

[@Lightning_Lance]

So Portal 3 is 8+ hours.

[@jarnukvideo3864]

played as intended it would take 3 months of game time.

[@djrocksgaming6255]

Jones Crimson Portal 3 is forever since it's sadly never gonna come out.

[@boopergoober]

“Why can’t you solve a simple test?” *literally flies straight to the end*

[@andybuscus383]

When he talked about how bad the mapping was in co-op, I immediately thought about how you can complete the entirety of the human vault without your partner.

[@ShadowBoltTF2]

_Are you absolutely sure you're solving these correctly?_

[@godsplayingfield]

*flying around and phasing through everything* ...... yes.

[@gamingg92]

The Caveman Johnson donation had me dead lol. Amazing speedrun, great participation, great commentary, absolutely amazing watch. Cheers

[@romilrh]

15:28 "But yeah, the way to do that map is, Valve just made not a perfect game, so..." Basically the entire run summed up

[@huismands]

I'm trying to follow what is happening on screen, but I... *Can't Even*

[@LilacDownDeep]

This has probably been the most chill and fun GDQ so far, with the audience participation, the cameraman having fun, the jokes and strats used. Looking forward to the rest!

[@m0n5a80]

You should definetly check out the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion run from AGDQ2019. That one is my absolute favorite.

[@dust_ee]

If you want to watch a chill, fun filled gdq go watch some runs from 2014. Still the best

[@orvilleredenpiller338]

You get *stuck* and then you *LAUNCH* 44:58

[@jasonant24]

The only downside of this run is you don't get to hear all the great dialouge. There is so many great lines

[@leilanpad9638]

this was a really good run and im glad to see some humor mixed in to something so stressful

[@rbsurla]

Can someone explain cube throw? Yeah, you throw the cube even Wheatley said, "haha yes"

[@PlayerSalt]

clean run, he seemed a bit nervous at the start which is understandable but really clean

[@TriploonGD]

25:19 Turret Wife Serenade: _Am I a joke to you?_

[@briankerstiens3550]

My favorite game ever, humor, puzzles, and a lot of fun! Too bad that it’s never getting another sequel.

[@vasilnikolov7993]

yeah valve are too busy making shitty card games and csgo cases lol

[@dabmasterars]

Portal 2 has custom levels made by community, some of them are heavily modded. At the moment there is ~850000 custom levels and about a 1000 are created every day. Valve just knows there is no need in sequel.

[@woodybob01]

it's better this way

[@tamarangarriott917]

I like how you’re solving these tests by breaking the laws of physics In a game about physics

[@2fifty533]

the game isn't about physics, the game mechanics literally break the laws of physics in the first place

[@Fs3i]

Oh god, the music in this game is still soooo good. And that run was incredible!

[@fe5958]

I remember watching can’t evens run live way earlier this year. So happy to see he made it to gdq. If you remember me, nice job my man :)

[@Loeey]

a highly skilled speedrun on one of my favorite games with a very entertaining commentary? i must be blessed.

[@OctavioHadra]

I don't even understand whats happening most of the time lol

[@chaosmagican]

Yeah I never really liked glitched runs of Portal (1/2). It's not really one of those runs that are nice to watch even though they are quite technical and require precise movement. Normally I enjoy watching a speedrun of a game I just casually completed but Portal wasn't one of them. At least not the glitched runs.

[@sheriffaboubakar9720]

Chaosmagican Yea, Portal Glitchless is more fun to watch IMO.

[@GreenTrapped]

It's like... You *can't even* understand

[@KhaosInductionCreator]

So THIS is the face behind those tutorials

GDQ is always amazing, no matter who's doing the run or what game it is. This run in particular was super fun to watch ✌🏻

[@helgemeff5555]

I love GDQ. It's just so good in so many ways.

[@GamerTime_2002]

I spent literal hours In the portal loading screen. Every time including when I died it would take 2 minutes

[@RoushTTV]

No one's really gonna talk about the $10,000 donation? @ 11:32

[@BreakTheBeat852]

They did talk about it and even applauded

[@Shinkaaaa]

@@BreakTheBeat852 He meant the comment section

[@KOrgan0414]

That’s because, while it’s great, it does happen fairly often. The Yetee donates a lot of money for GDQ, since they are one of the main vendors and sponsors for the event.

[@michelek5819]

I blink and he solves the puzzle

[@robin-vz1xd]

Tick perfect or frame perfect? Yes.

[@AdamSmith-de5oh]

As someone who's 30 the idea that in the future you could fill a room full of people just to watch a guy complete a couple of levels really fast is mind blowing.

You could say the same about most sports

[@tombruges1557]

You can speed run portal 1 in the loading times of portal 2

[@---rt5fj]

Run is great and absolutely love the commentary but does anyone else notice the screen tearing in the game it's pretty distracting to me inc retain parts.

[@sbsftw4232]

The game probably runs faster at uncapped framerate

[@GibusWearingMann]

It's very hard not to notice sometimes.

[@koth_harvest_final]

vsync slows framerate and messes up some tricks in most source games

[@ckowkay]

yea was about to comment about that

[@maxisthemoose]

He kinda mentioned it, not specifically l, but he said he was running the game at like 950 FPS on a 60Hz monitor, which will definetly make it tear.

V-sync adds a lot of input lag and makes the mouse feel bad for speed running. The tearing is bad here because he is running the game at 900fps (for certain tricks) on a 60hz stream.
