Hello everyone!

Recently, we’ve been interviewed by the Valve community news site LambdaGeneration on the Half-Life 2: Episode Two Done Quick speedrun we’ve done just a few weeks ago. In the interview, we talk about some general speedrun-related stuff, background info on the run creation process and a few other things.

The interview is now published and can be read here:http://lambdageneration.com/community/half-life/ep2dq-interview/

Huge thanks to Jeff @ LambdaGen for making this happen! 😀
We hope you enjoy the interview!

Half Life 2: Episode Two – Done Quick

posted in: Episode Two | 26

It’s been a long wait, 5 years to be precise, but it’s finally here;

Presenting Half Life 2: Episode Two Done Quick in 30:36.705

Development of the run started immediately after SourceRuns released Episode One speedrun back in 2010, a small group of runners started routing Episode Two’s maps and eventually doing segments. The run has been in progress for a very long time, lots of game-breaking tricks were discovered that forced the run to be restarted 3 times until being finally finished, saving more than 6 minutes from previous time estimates.

Completed on the initial Orange Box release, Engine 14; Protocol 4104 of EP2 in 441 segments (out of which 194 are save/load segments) by:
Jukspa, Matmo, Elgu, S., BitRain, Blizik, Valvinraim and Eidgod
