<div class="IPBDescription">15 Minutes of WTF.</div>Upon checking my various web locales a new speed run was posted up on <a href="http://speeddemosarchive.com/" target="_blank">Speed Demos Archive</a>, there's a speed run of <a href="http://speeddemosarchive.com/Portal.html" target="_blank">Portal</a> up that will just confuse the hell out of you. There's also a 360-version run if you want to see it without the scripts.

Them, I suggest you look away unless you enjoy seeing your baby utterly raped.

I suggest getting the Insane Quality Torrent, I'm currently seeding it.

    I was just going to post this. Ridiculous exploitation of near-portal collision detection.

    I read "Portal Destroyed" and hoped someone did something similar to Smash-My-PS3 etc.

    What were they doing when they fired portals multiple times at a single spot? One moment they were firing three portals in a row, the next moment they went through the portal and ended up in a room that was basically at the end of the level.

    And I was sure that I had tried firing a portal while standing in a portal and had it fail, but it seemed to work just fine for them.

    I'm guessing they used some lamo scripts to break the game, which means they're effectively changing the game by using binds that aren't supported in the default control setup options, which means they're effectively speed-running a different game.

    Scriptless is where it's at., tbh.

    Don't start that again! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Honestly though I find the scriptless run more impressive.

    I like the spliced feel of the tool-assisted run. It's like he just tore a hole through parts of the game. Very cool.

    For all we know, that's what he did. It's quite easy to bind a key to change the level.

    ...Man, you're just saying that. Did you watch it?

    I'm not "just saying that." It's just a simple bind command.<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->bind "keyhere" "commandhere"<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->It's not harder than that.

    I'm saying it's pretty clear that if you watch the speedrun, that's NOT what he did.

    also, at the beginning of every single segment, it says 'verified: no cheating'

    But I <i>didn't</i> watch the speed run (because such things do not interest me), so I can happily assume that this is, in fact, exactly what he did! You are powerless before my impeccable powers of the logic. Know me, and despair!
