Speed Demo Archives is the Guinness Book of Records for Quake speed runs, but they also have speed demos for other games, including a 2:57:35 Half-Life 2 run (torrent to video here). [Via FileRush]

Wow, I'm downloading the Half-Life 2 torrent our of sheer curiosity of how it looks (the downside of using a mac). Great find.

I'm personally a big fan of the Half-Life speed run. If you've ever played through the whole game, you can appreciate that the guy finishes it in 45 minutes...

There's a ton of fun speed runs at archive.org, although why they recently moved them from the videos area into the "software" are is anybody's guess.

So the HL2 speedrun - do they include the loading times?
