Speed is everything!

I haven't reuploaded my run yet because my internet connection is so slow and I want to reupload it with the internet of a friend...

So i think this is the end not Credits...Will See

The game ends when you lose the control, so when you will be hit by that man at the end, I think...

While you're at it, could you perhaps try to upload those "Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green" segments again? Wink

Yes, when you'll lose control, the timing stops. I thought he meant when he needed to stop recording...

Yeah I'll do that when I'm connected to a better internet connection. Wink

What?

No, the timing (The time of the speedrun) stops when you lose control, just keep on recording when you finish the game and everything will be good Grin

Now I've watched it and it looks very good! Good job! Smiley

But there are a few moments in those you can do some things better and faster, like some tricks or using more hotkeys.
I've you will watch my run you'll see some things where you can do it a bit better.
I'm currently uploading the run. Wink

And TheVoid, here is the LOTD run Wink

Thanks ZeRo for uploading the LOTD run! Smiley

Nice run 2x_Alpha although the quality of the video isn't too good (I mean with the kind of interlacing thing or whatever it is), I hope your source file isn't like that Wink

Like ZeRo pointed out, there are some things that can be improved. For example skipping the sawing cutscene, or moving the barrel to the left behind the door in order to open the door in the beginning of the game, and some other things which I can't remember right now. Still, the gameplay was pretty good Smiley

In the frictionalgames forum is a thread about glitches and there is written that you can stand on the TNT barrel while it's exploding or so and then you'll enter the next level. That would save much time! Shocked

Here is the thread. Wink

Yeah no problem, but don't wonder why it's so bad, it was my first run! Grin

I can remember that I've tried that but never succeeded. You can hide behind those crates in the corner too which is closer by (You and 2x_Alpha both ran away quite far). It would save a little bit of time if it's possible Wink

When you use the explosive potion, you can also go back a little bit and stand around the corner. But if you can survive the blast from the TNT barrel somehow, then I guess it should be possible to survive the explosive potion too somehow.

May I suggest to read the first 2 pages of this thread, maybe it contains some other stuff you didn't know about Smiley

EDIT: A little confirmation, yes it's possible to stand on the TNT barrel and enter the next level when it explodes. You just need to press the left mousebutton on the exit level icon when it explodes.

2x_Alpa, are you going to rerun it with all those tricks? That would be awesome! Grin

There's another thing I found out today, you don't have to pick up the portable phone/mobile or however it's called in the second part (You know, where you need to power up that big machine).

Oh my, I'm almost getting an urge to start attempting this game myself. But I'm not going to do that yet, I'll put it on my to-do list Wink
