Seriously tho, between HL1 and 2, which one would be easier for a beginner? Also The Swapper seems like it would be fun too lol. Also, sad to see the SDA Marathons come to a close, really is my favorite week of the year, so much content, such a good cause, and many good times. I started learning HL2 a week or so ago, and it's honestly not that hard to get in to. Between built-in console commands to look at where clip brushes/triggers are, built in quicksaves/quickloads, and gocnak's ghosting mod features (displays speed, built in timer, ghosts) it's really easy to practice the tons of crazy tricks "required" to get a good time. That said, my first run was 4 hours long (Orb launch took FOREVER to understand T___T) and I've had crashes at almost everywhere in the run, so it can try your patience. But my goal is just to get a sub 2 hour time, and I'm having fun getting there. Do recommend. Most speedrunners' advice on choosing games to run is something like this: "Do you like the game a whole lot casually? If you do, run it. If you didn't find it fun before, you won't find it fun to speedrun." | ||

I don't do it well, but it's still an amazingly fun game to run. I think my first run was almost an hour long which is just stupidly slow. Took me a while getting used to the backwards jumping. Anyone know when the bonus stream starts? I thought it was in an hour? noon local but I dont know when that is ^^ | ||

If you didn't find it fun before, you won't find it fun to speedrun." Also, gocnak has a 3 hour tutorial on twitch which ive been watching, alot to take in thats for sure. The thing is most people run HL2 with Source Engine (build 5135), whereas most of us are using the latest "Steampipe" version, which apparently has some issues for speedrunning, but is still doable. I actually made a small post on Reddit asking about the differences, here My post. Seems like it may be worth getting that Source Unpack version going, which as far as i know we can only get my messagin Yalter in Steam for a link, which to me is odd. But imma scour google for maybe another link somewhere. Anyways, GL! | ||

Monopoli? Really annoying how the game audio is so much louder than the runner right now :< | ||
