They uploaded another one yesterday which is way more amazing in my opinion. Link to video By the way, if anyone wants to see more of this all you can cheack out the list I'm updating here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgMaN_OsTxgAdDlCWGZ2LUZFbGdrejJKcWdkWmRsc1E&usp=drive_web#gid=0. The ones that are highlighted in light-green are those fully scripted runs and the not-highlighted ones were done using just saves and slowmotion.

Very impressive but does anyone else find these nauseating to watch? Specifically the constant jittering.

I must say that I agree. While I'd be all over TASing Half-Life, the jitter is what I'm afraid of. Perhaps it's better to watch in slow motion, but at full speed, it isn't very pretty.

It depends on the person. Some people get motion sick watching 3D TASes, some people don't.

FWIW, this is the first time I can recall ever feeling nauseous from watching any video.

the jitter doesn't bother me at all. the instantaneous new-direction-looking is pretty disorienting though.

I don't mind the jitter personally. I find it rather entertaining. Imagine Gordon jittering frantically as he phases through the black mesa facility. Like a psychopath who has no idea what he's doing, he just has to keep moving forward. I can see how it would be an entertainment deficit relative to more smooth bunnyhopping of course, but I think that the jitter version has a right to exist, it is the fastest after all and by no small margin.
