Oh wait, that’s not a dick.

Or at least he changes it into something that is not a dick.

You guys forgot to mention the time he has some time to spare which, naturally, he uses to shoot a dick-shaped succession of bullet holes into a wall.

This is awesome, and thanks for posting that YouTube comment, I was wondering that.

That said, looking at butts might be funny, but humping Alyx with a piece of wood left me feeling awkward. As in, I’d love to show this to my (non-gamer) girlfriend, because it really is awe-inspiring, but I don’t want to (and couldn’t) explain that bit.

The butt part, in case you were wondering, is at about 46 minutes.

I like how you can apparently fast-forward an NPC’s script by smacking them on the head with a book.

I love speedruns. And HL2 speedruns, by benefit of the versatile but somewhat buggy Source engine, are some of the greatest speedruns around.

Fun to watch, but for the runners, certain segments must be utter hell to get right. YEARS of preparation, and thousands of attempts go into these things, and I might just suspect these are one of the primary art forms provided by video games.

Art, in that each one takes a long time to craft, and is made as perfect as possible.
They still may make small mistakes, but that doesn’t really detract from the overall experience, it just tells you that HERE is a talented group of people, doing what they love.
