Idle Thumbs 246: Mesmerized, Process, and Anxiety

That is AMAZING!  The video is nearly identical to the Giant Bomb Quick Look for three minutes, then the player stumbles into a MASSIVE SPOILERY secret.  "Was I, was I supposed to do that?  I'm scared."

 

Then the player goes back to doing the tutorial!  It's really an amazing watch—though I suppose no one should actually watch.

I had a little trouble tracking down the Blast Corps speed run, so I thought it might be useful to post it here.

I found it in a Reddit thread which timestamped all of the 2016 AGDQ runs on the Twitch stream:(https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/3z9fyi/agdq_vod_thread_2016/). 

The Blast Crops run is this one: http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/v/34028952?t=27h01m00s

Half Life soldiers also just feel like one of the weakest points of the game mechanically. You can't really evade their attacks like you can with headcrabs, zombies, bullsquids, houndeyes, etc., but the game came out before the age of cover systems, so in the end it's just one of those things where you point your gun at them and hold down fire until one of you falls over.

I disagree with that if we're talking about Half-Life proper. Fighting the marines is the best part of that game.
