Inex and I were talking today, and he says we should just go ahead and start running HL:S seeing as how this update fucked us up pretty bad. I’m all for it, what do you guys think? ---

I’ve never played HL:S, as I’ve heard it’s not that good(?), and I’ve been looking forward to BMS instead. However, if we’re not gonna be running ep2 anymore I guess I’ll buy it just to have something to run. ---

We’re going to be running on a different version to what’s available on steam because that way demo recording will work. ---

Didn’t you say you got a steamless copy of ep2 working, Jared? So there is a way we (you) could run ep2 after all, right? Eitherway I’m personally more interested in seeing a hls run at the moment, so I vote for that. Edit: Just played around a lil in hls again. What bhopping script are you guys using for this? The one from the ep1 run makes duckjumping kinda choppy. ---

Yay, Cameron saves the day. We’re still gonna be running Ep2, but it seems Josh won’t be participating in HL:S… ---

HL:S is like HL1, but handicapped and more advanced watergraphic. ;D Why wont Josh participate? ---

We’re not abandoning the ep2 run, but it seems like it might still take a while to sort out the entire version difference. Along with that, I’m a bit busy, have stuff to do, so I won’t be around as much to lead the ep2 run. I figured that we should keep working on things, so HL:S would be a good idea to get going, as I know a lot of people want to see it and want to run it. I won’t be participating MUCH, I doubt I’ll get a segment, as I’m not too great with the game. I think, if hl:s is decided to be run, you need to figure who’s leading it, because there’s not much point me doing so. ---

Alright then. I forgot about that, so since that’s sorted… How long is the poll being left open for? Seems like a pretty clear result atm 😛 ---

I’ll do one better! An optimum time. [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6432493/HLS%20Demo's/firstmap\_TSA\_15s.dem](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6432493/HLS%20Demo%27s/firstmap_TSA_15s.dem) I reckon you could get 14s if you timed the door a bit better, did better air control (I haven’t mastered fast bunny’s while playing slowly) and perhaps managed a wall strafe somewhere. ---

How about a shared dropbox folder for the recordings, rather than having to download them individually? EDIT: Created one, [Create an account](https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTczMjk3MDY5) if you don’t have one already then PM me your email address (that you use for your DB account) and I’ll invite you to the shared folder. ---

> [@CooL](#): > > Hey now, technically we have to beat Dales 14 second segment for the first map 😛 I was just going to mention that as well 😛 I think it’s great that a (new) HLS run is getting started, but for me personally, the timing couldn’t have been worse - I’m going away for a couple of weeks and I won’t have access to a computer. But then again, I was running this game “back in the days” over at [HL2DQ.net](http://HL2DQ.net) so my best attempts are in those demos. Good luck guys! I’ll be joining you when I come back. ---

A few weeks is NOTHING for us. We’ll probably get through maybe 3 segments :P. We’re a slow bunch. ---

> [@TYPICAL](#): > > What did you use to start the run? What are we going to use? I seems that we used the map command (since nobody mentioned a save for the first map in [the old HLSDQ-thread](http://sourceruns.org/index.php/topic,169.0.html)). I’m not sure there is a difference between entering the “air-chamber” or using the map command. Naturally should be tested/timed.
