A speed run of half-life cutting 30% off the previous best time. I swear 
the guy must be cheating to get the speeds he does. :-) In any case, an 
excellent exercise video.  Mind-boggling if you've played half-life 
yourself.

My favorite moment: Realizing he blew away all his armor and 99/100 of 
his hit points to grenade-jump faster to get to the Final Boss.

A couple of times I wondered how he got through the tripwires without  

blowing himself up

I'd forgotten about snark jumps.

It took me a while to realize he was actually jumping over the trip 
wires while crawling thru the air vents.

That, or in the tunnels, running so fast that he goes past between the 
time the level loads and the time the trip-mine arms itself.
