Hmm… I don’t know anything about HL1, but is the final video out for this yet? ---

Seems to be slightly better quality than the YouTube one. Possibly a rip of the one on Google Video.Codec: DivX 4Resolution: 480 x 360Frms/sec: 60Duration: 36:02 ---

I thought RandomEngy’s speed run was good, but this is even better. I should really play Half-Life and learn it, so when Black Mesa source, we could perhaps speed run it 🙂 ---

Black mesa will be a lot different though, it will be hard to speed run I think.The beta is coming out soon, can’t wait it looks great!Oh, and that run seems amazing, I mean the old record was 45 mins and this is 30, right? ---

Yeah true that.I honestly don’t know why he called it half-life half-hour or whatever, when the run actually goes for 36 minutes (or something like that).But yeah, it’s about 10 minutes quicker than the other one. ---

Also in HL1-runs the timer stops when Nihilanth is killed.So the intro (the train ride) is not counted and the G-man speech is not counted. That’s why the playtime is considered 29:41 (not official SDA time, but it will probably be the same…)QUOTE I thought RandomEngy was encoding the speed run for him, like RandomEngy did for Half-Life 2: Done Quick.I believe that RandomEngy did convert all the demos into a uncompressed movie-file and then sent this to Spider-Waffle. Spider-Waffle then compressed it and encoded it into all the qualities that SDA requires.And isn’t the new run just beautiful?.. ---

I watched it last night, beautiful it is!Was the old run ran on the Steam version? Did it use HLSP?HL1 patched HL1:MP on Steam and it put a cap on bhopping in HL1:SP, so this guy used the old version of HL1. HLSP is a mod that fixes this but it also messes up other stuff. ---

Yeah, it’s an awesome run. I’ve posted a bit in the thread, and I think he used Half-Life v1.1.0.6 for the entire run.So now i’ve got myself this version, and I am doing his run. I can do most of the tricks, but the trick with the “physics” objects where he gets insane speed I just cannot do. I tried for like five minutes and only managed to do it twice, and it was a complete fluke :\ ---

He stated that he started in 2003 and ended in October 2006, which means part of it was on Steam, too.You guys need to think once in awhile 😛 ---

I play HL1 and HL:BS normally even though Steam was released. I don’t really see your point.Besides, RandomEngy (who captured Spider-Waffle’s demos) said this on SDA:QUOTE (RandomEngy)I captured all the demos for the run. It was off a vanilla install-\>patch update; no mods were required. ---

QUOTE (DemonStrate @ Jan 16 2007, 08:14 PM)He didn’t use the steam version. He only used that v1.1.0.6 for it. You don’t have to update the original game. I could go get my original disk, install it, and play it right now without Steam.That was a much better explanation of what I tried to say. Steam is not needed to run HL1 nor does Steam identify HL1 and make it Steam:ized.QUOTE (Pincus @ Jan 16 2007, 03:16 AM)So does this mean the “You guys need to think once in awhile” comment got CaLeB- owned or something ;)Well in his defense, he is right! We do need to think once in a while…From a philosophical standpoint, it is undoubtedly important to think. René Descartes once said:"I think, therefore I am"Makes you think doesn’t it? 😛 ---

QUOTE (Pincus @ Jan 17 2007, 05:54 AM)Makes no sense to me :\Haha, yeah it’s a bit trippy 😛 From a philosophical standpoint that theory can be discussed. But I think it basically means that:How can you prove that you exist? Well the fact that you think proves it. Your existence is proven by your own thoughts - philosophically, no other human does truly exist nor does material I guess. You can only prove to yourself that you truly exist.So for me, YOU do not exist philosophically. Neither does my parents. I do exist to myself.Or something, who cares!.. :lol: (note that I haven’t studied philosophy so I could be wildly wrong!)Still…it makes you think.On Topic:I hope Spider-Waffles run will be verified soon so we can see it in high-resolution!! 😃 ---
