19:47 - the observable universe is 93 billion (9.3x10^9) light years across. That means poop bucket is traversing approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 observable universes... per second. Assuming there's an average 397g of daily poo in the bucket (I've got that in my search history now, thanks, TA) the relativistic energy of this bucket would be equivalent to 1.87x10^76 eV or about 3 x10^57 watt-seconds. This is equivalent to the total output of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 suns.

I was just asking myself, "How DID speedrunners beat Half-Life 2 Any% No Voidclip in less than 38 minutes?" And then you drop this video. Thanks, tomatoanus! Edit: I said half life in less than 2 minutes and 38 seconds. Don't do drugs kids, you'll misread youtube titles severely

tomatoanus: heartfelt speech tomatoanus 5 seconds later: RADIOACTIVE JIZZ

Okay but the HL2 HUD in Comic Sans is really cursed.

>The obligatory no feeling is final speech Hey, reporting in that since I've started watching you in a bad place, I've made it out the other side and pushing forward.

9:08 the reason is known, it's caused by accidentally giving the prop vehicle physics, but most props don't have the right weight which causes them to have this strange noclip like effect, when the player makes contact with the prop they get vehicle physics as well and that's what leads them to fly, the reason that specific vehicle counts is because it's actually cut content from the game! the combine were originally supposed to drive around in these acp's and tanks but it was eventually scrapped. the vehicle still seems to have some remnants of code though

20:27 idk why but this whole sequence really got to me as being so absurd in a narrative sense. Demigod who is jet boosting through reality gets blocked by a simple iron gate, responds by time traveling, making a poop bucket fly to the edge of the universe instantly, and then very very VERY carefully starts putting two paint cans on top of eachother, constantly having to insure their safety by securing the time and place of every known object that exists every couple fractions of a second. All to pass through an iron gate.

No feeling is forever, especially the feeling of "lacking new tomatoanus" 🥰

Flinging the Havok Box just makes me imagine Gordon Freeman Astrally Projecting himself.

I like to imagine Breen and the rest of the Combine Advisory watching Gordon unpinning a nade, gently setting it down, and getting his run up to jump above it before it detonates, watching him fly across a hundred meters like it was the most commonplace thing.

you know I used to overlook those little moments where you talk directly to the viewer and tell us that if we're not feeling okay that's alright but I've been feeling bad lately and hearing you really helped me out, keep up the great content man and thanks for the little talk

holy shit thank you for explaining bill's big thrill, i have never understood that source-ry ever since i saw it at GDQ forever ago

Hey at one point I made a comment on your video where I was in a very bad place in life. Since then, I met my girlfriend, the love of my life, I got promoted twice at work, and my dad made a miraculous recovery after getting a liver transplant. We got more dogs after jack passed and they helped fill a lot of our life with joy. I moved back in with my parents to help take care of my dad but the girlfriend and I are talking about moving in together now that my dad doesn't need as much help anymore. Life is doing good, and I found that greener pasture. You are right, making that kind of final choice in a moment where you are low and not thinking clearly deprives you of life once it gets better, because life does get better. Your videos made me laugh and helped me though a tough time when I needed it, thank you

Hello everyone. P4nd4321 here also known as Wittle Wiener Wielder's personal panda

Half-life 2 is the most technical run I've ever saw, that's for sure. Been enamoured with it since I saw Gocnak run it ten years ago. Thanks for the video, dude.

The addition of the literal "put a pin on [x]" in visual form is a nice addition to these videos. Makes distinguishing certain things clearer and helps make it easier to follow~.

first video i’ve seen from you and man the little segment at 32:09 really hit me. Instant like and subscribe. Really appreciate that man

Gotta say Tomato, your comments about mental health mean a lot to me and now that i am doing better, i can easily see how right your comments are. Thanks for spreading the message.

The “bob wehadababyitsaboy” brought back some deep memories I forgot I had
