One day Tobias "Dopefish" Lundmark decided to finish Half-Life for the first time in his life, he had played some before, just never finished it. He's quite active in playing Counter-Strike as well.
Anyway, after finishing Half-Life he decided to make a quick run and pretty much promised to finish it within 40 minutes. His record is now 51:09 minutes. Dopefish broke the old record with five minutes and thirty seconds.
The complete movie can be downloaded from
www.fegis.nu. Registration is, of course, free of charge. There isn't any info about his speed run on that page, but you might wanna check out

I've been speed-running since QdQ was formed back in those good 'ol days. I've been thinking about speed-running various games and one of them have been half-life, the only problem is, there isn't really a way to judge exactly at what time one finish the game. When I saw -think.circle- running like his mom was on fire in the first speed-run ever released for half-life, I knew I had to redo his run, and I did with a 5 minutes and 30 seconds improvement. I thought it was quite impressive for being the second time I played thru half-life. :D
Well, by the time I released my speed-run, I've already found out some new tricks that would save me a minute or two, and then people started messing me about new shortcuts I've never heard of, real good ones too. So this movie is already outdated imho and a new one will probably be done shortly, the problem is I'm going thru my 12th year in school, and therefore having some serious load of home-work to do first. ;)
Even if I did such an great speed-run, I still think -think.circle- is the better one, because once one have done it before you, it's always easier to improve it afterwards. For all the people thinking I'm using a cheat, well I can't say much about that because I ain't which can be shown by my recorded demos. And for those accusing me for using a bunny jump script, I actually don't, I just use +jump on my mwheel and then time the jumps when I land.
The last thing I wanted to say is that this movie was meant as a speed-run, I wanted to do a record. Well hopefully we will get a speed-running mod for half-life which sets static saving points and a community around speed-running for half-life will be formed. I would love to have -think.circle- on my speed-running team. Maybe a half-life done double quick with the mod Sven Co-op? :)
