Thanks to alexh0w, @waezone, baister09, and Source28 for helping with the video creation process.

This video is not an actual speedrun world record, nor a speedrun tutorial. This video is a showcase of a speedrun strategy that goes in-depth to the various glitches and bugs that make the strategy possible.

lmao the graph in the outro, it really shows how the youtube algorithm loves your new series of videos

[YourHighnessHannah]

You have such high quality videos, you really deserve more views and subs. I really hope your channel blows up some day, you deserve it.

[PebsBeans]

there should be an easter egg if you skip the resonance cascade where the disaster never happens and there are no aliens

(yes i know it would be nearly impossible to program and not worth it at all but let me dream)

[zordnTV]

This was great! Thank you for this video!

[pegton]

You are going to be a huge youtuber if you continue making these man. These are great

[npcnugget]

I think they specifically left that level skip sequence there for this very reason... XD

[WalengaLeo]

after soooo many years this is the first time i noticed the bricks that fall bounce on the ground lmao 0:00

[OpelsiSq]

I wonder if the devs made these weird trigger and lip positions specifically for future speedrunners to discover them

[thearch-vile]

Or you could pull out the crystal and the vorts when hitting the ground will not teleport away

[JBBrickman]

LOL I just played that game a few months ago and that cutscene blew me away with all the special effects, they don’t do that kinda cool stuff in modern games

[Nikokl]

Yo you're gaining alot of subs bois

[TheWolfcast]

If gordon doesn't do it then gman will or he will make alyx do it I guess

[shred]

"1998 wasn't the best year for graphics". So is any year compared to something 20 years later. Do you even listen to yourself?

[AvSias]

How are you able to run the game in hardware mode, without any graphical acceleration?

[krychur]

does this still work on the current build?

[jackhoff]

you sound like the burger king foot lettuce guy...
