This randomly showed up on my feed and made me so happy that people still play this game after all these years. Congrats on the WR!

[@Special1122]

you may think that people play old games solely because of nostalgia but that's not true. those games were simply great, certainly better than many indistinguishable open world games nowadays.

[@eermolaev]

I actually not sure that speedrunners really play games :)

this has to be one of the hardest speedruns ever done

[@kamilacieslak718]

And even Harder IS IT to beat

[@scottcaramel]

I don’t think anything will beat modern Super Mario Bros speedruns. Unless you’ve got superhuman reaction times, you have NO chance being anywhere on that leaderboard. That said, still impressive stuff on display

[@realkaiser]

@@scottcaramel truee that shit is just beyond human theres no guarantee even after 10k hours that youd ever get a good run. but i think if we see a new peak of half life in the next few years it will surpass even smb.

[@farima4_legacy]

@@scottcaramel it has nothing to do with skill. It is impossible, not humanly impossible, just straight up impossible

[@itsfine5818]

You know when a dude goes "That was bad, this is a disaster" through the entire run, he's about to break some records.

[@chadkirk925]

Lmao. Too fucking true

[@pannomic1818]

Imagine if someday someone do the perfect run with no mistakes... the real "20 minutes run" That would be super insane.... for no hearing the runner "that was bad" lol

[@AnoNym-zi5ty]

Don't worry this dude spend way more hours than you to figure it out.

You're absolutely insane. Congratulations! The skill level you have to have to achieve these niche tricks are absolutely astronomical.

the fact that single segment is coming so close to regular speedruns just shows the dedication of the runners. Good job man, that was an insane run!

[@cheesebusiness]

“Single segment” is what speedruns are supposed to be. The real world time to beat the game should be measured. Building speed runs from segments is cheating, because it takes much time IRL.

[@Dannyy._]

​@@cheesebusinessno es trampa, es otro método de speedrun, el más verídico es el corrido pero el otro método es válido también

[@iUUkk]

Your comment makes no sense. All speedruns are non segmented. If they are segmented they should be catagorized as such. What's more interesting about this run is the no-saves.

Even though he runs through through it all in 27 minutes, remind you of how much content the game actually had for the players.

[@mrclasspcwizard]

Indeed. And that plus time needed to figure out the puzzles and what to do and where to go. I remember spending weeks playing when i was a kid. had to buy magazines that had the game guides to help me when i get stuck. my pc was also slow as a potato, had to play it in windowed mode at 320x240 resolution. hahaha, the good'ole days. now we have it easy with 4K gaming

[@jaunzftw]

I remember being blown away by the precision and ingenuity of the tricks performed in "Half Life in Half an hour" all those years ago, no matter how segmented it is. But a run like this, single segment? Absolute lunacy. Congrats on the WR!

[@nyrbsamoht]

no deaths no saves this is truly unbelievable congrats . i remember watching the collab run quadrazid put together thinking how impossible a run in 1 take would be. and here it is!

[@Fantax92]

Your movement is insane for a real time speedrun. I'm blown away. I've heard some people thinking speedrunners disliked the games for skipping content, but you're truly in love with Half-Life to have mastered it so perfectly.

[@seniorjp6950]

This guy finished the game in the time i got to the suit.

[@germanklose4936]

The fact that game itself allows such flexibility is amazing.. Nowadays game’s storyline controls your moves..

KaNanga I absolutly love and enjoy Half-Life speedruns!!! Thank you for making this new WR !!! You are awesome.

[@tcapdungeon]

First time I’ve finally understood speedrunning, absolutely awe struck at what you were able to do!

[@andrejkuna2614]

Dunno why but i watch this like 2 or 3 times every month.. For some reason it is so relaxing to watch you just fly smoothly through the game

[@KaNangaTV]

Is it because there are no loads that it makes the flow much smoother? It's funny that this is my most watched video while it's not the fastest way to beat hl1

[@-Finlandia]

​@@KaNangaTVI'd say the uninterrupted flow (no saves etc.) of the speedrun is definitely one of the reasons why this is so satisfying to watch

[@Heihachi_Joestar]

I finished the game today in 10 hours. Amazing to see how it can be done faster. Epic.

[@Fate_KW]

the sound effects of these automated doors, npcs, destruction, weapons, and all of half life sfx is just something else, i really miss going back to the late 90s
