No, Tribes both pre-dates it and had it's own engine.

Source engine physics are indistinguishable from magic.

Tribes came out the same year as HL1, same publisher though.

Yep. He had an interesting run last one of these I watched. Using objects and placing them on NPC heads to make the, advance to their next dialogue point. It was cool.

Yeah, having almost zero experience with the speedrun community beyond these events, I still find myself very impressed with some of the runner's personalities. To the point where I begin to remember who they are, year-to-year, even though I really don't keep up with any of this stuff. This guy's a keeper.

White Forest or whatever it's called is a pretty long area I think, and indoors so it's probably marginally harder to fly over entire maps with a single clever jump.

My very first GamesDoneQuick event, I think was a Summer event, and SpikeVegeta played Dokney Kong Country returns. I was hooked. The speedruns are usually technically impressive, for sure, but the runner's personalities are what hooked me.

tallying up the tracker donation + the humble bundle pile so far, it looks like the totals are at 1,009,141.28 (as of a few minutes ago.) :woop:

It should be noted that the amount on the Humble Bundle website (currently $436,896.70) is almost certainly the entire purchase amount and not just the PCF contribution. So the total is probably closer to $800k.
