Half-Life """""Speedrun"""""

I'd like to give a shoutout to a few people that helped me to research stuff for this video, firstly the SourceRuns Discord and YouTube channels for giving me some help learning about Half-Life speedrunning strats... here are the links if you're curious yourself!

I've also been really addicted to the YouTube channels MarphitimusBlackimus, Leadhead and
lymphoid, all of whom make some kind of Half-Life-related content. Most of the information in this video is gleaned from them and there's lots of really interesting stuff to find there that I didn't come close to covering.

One final dorky Half-Life related thing, and I meant to mention this in the stream because it was so cool but I never got around to it, is the video "Black-Mesa Disaster on one map". Basically someone made a video mapping out the movements and locations of all 3 protagonists of Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life: Blue Shift in relation to one another; the video's incredibly well-edited with lots of great use of in-game voice lines, sound effects and ambient music, and it's pretty insanely comprehensive in its detail as well. It's really eerie and unsettling and it occupied my thoughts for the better part of a week. It may be the sort of thing that will only have that effect on you if you've already played all 3 of those games... but regardless, check it out!
