Imagine giving a long time family friend an implement that can literally manipulate gravity only for him to instantly use it to jettison himself halfway across the country.
How to sum up a HL2 Speed Run from the Combine Point of View: *CP Officer just outside Train Station (First Chapter)*: "Yeah We got a Suspicious Looking man coming off... the.... Command, He just Disappeared... Yeah he just Flew off using a Soda Can... I'm fired now aren't I?" *CP Officer in the Canals 30 Seconds Later*: "Command, We've got that guy over here.... Nevermind... Just used an old Oil Barrel to disappear into a wall..." *Overwatch Sniper outside Ravenholm 2 Minutes After that*: "Uh... Not sure if It's related but I just saw some Orange Blur fly across my Scope. It went up over a wall somewhere." *Overwatch Soldier on the Coast 5 Minutes later still*: "We've got him.... No... No we don't. Just ramped off of our APC and flew across the bay into some Car Tunnel on the other Side." *Overwatch Guard in Nova Prospect 7 Minutes still*: "Command! We need Assistance! Some guy in an Orange suit just flew in through some Ventilation Shaft and blew up the experimental teleporter! Please Advise!" *Overwatch Elite in the Citadel 14 Minutes after exiting the Train*: "Yeah we may have an Issue here... That Orange Suit you guys are talking about just flew into the City Administrator's Office with some Glowing Blue thing after launching one of the guards into a wall with it. We may want to call an Evacuation."
Um yeah Gordon is like sonic but a bird and part ghost so he can case through walls also it's funny that most of the time he's beating up them to make them move faster it's basically telling a kid to hurry the Fuck up or get raped the kid will haul ass with no fucks given
“The seven hour war? Pff, more like the destruction and revolution of powerful alien slave masters that have taken over hundreds of planets and subjugated the inhabitants in 1 hour.”
7:15 _Gordon, fruitlessly plowing his finger into the switch_ “You gonna let Gordon throw the switch?” _Gordon briefly looks over to Doctor Kleiner before resuming plowing his finger into the switch_
I can just imagine the combine radio... Combine: Overwatch. We have a visual on the Alpha target jumping around 400 miles per hour across the city by only using his feet, boxes and explosive barrels. How shall we proceed? Overwatch: Punch him at close quarters. You'll hit him. *Gordon gains more momentum from punches*
@@helpmyhouseonfire1405 "The Planck time is the time it would take a photon travelling at the speed of light to cross a distance equal to the Planck length. This is the “quantum of time”, the *smallest measurement of time that has any meaning*, and is equal to 10^-43 seconds."
the most impressive part about this is is not only that they were only using the gravity gun but that this is new engine so it was directly competing with DWAHMOV
"Give it a try." . . . "The primary trigger-" and while Alyx is talking, Gordon has slingshot himself over the cliff-face, tunnels through the ground and concrete, slides up a ladder, and is in Ravenholm, not even one minute after her saying "That's Ravenholm. We don't go there anymore." Don't point things out if you don't want a quantum tunneling 27 year old physicist to go there as soon as possible, I suppose.
Guard: I fear no man! [Points to Gordon] Guard: But that thing..... [flashes back to Gordon flying around around the map] Guard: *hushed tone*It scares me....
When you want to use only the Gravity Gun on Ravenholm for the achievement but you mixed it up in your mind and did a Gravity Gun-only speedrun instead.
i love the parts where Gordon is just stuck in a custscene and forced to wait, while toying around with stuff, climbing up walls and Bhopping into corners, then slamming things into everyone's heads constantly to teleport them around the room
Something tells me that in the near future of HL2 speedruns, everything will be "Half-Life 2 Speedrun, but it's X", where X is random modifier/goal/thing
