Specialized scripts and SourcePauseTool were heavily relied upon for executing attempts and routing. The run was rendered using custom tooling from 2838 and ffmpeg, and was edited using Adobe After Effects. »»------------- SPECIAL THANKS -------------«« YaLTeR & Jukspa for SourcePauseTool Traderain for Listdemo- SourceRuns for being awesome Crowbar Collective for Black Mesa (and patching our skips) Enjoy! http://sourceruns.org   / sourceruns
