Half-L.A.I.F. 2 - Chapter 2 - "A Red Letter Day"
23Half-Life 2 - Looking around is forbidden
My attempt at playing through the entire HL2 series without ever looking around using the mouse or whatever input methods you could think of.
This is a segmented run, not aiming for speed, but merely to get through. Each video starts where the last one left off. If you see any weird cuts, it's because of Source's save stutter. Similarly, some graphical errors occur due to reloading saves.

While "A red letter day" seems very basic at a glance, it has some pitfalls.
I use the vending machine door to rotate myself towards the right (ideal angle would be -90 yaw). This way, it is easier to throw the plug and switch.
The encounter with Barney is a bit tougher. You usually have to look up to him so he starts his dialogue line. Since a viewing angle of around 45° is required, we'll actually need to create a small pile of props to be able to look at him. I also had to use the door to spin my view towards Barney, which was not easy considering it automatically closes and locks behind my back.
If my angle would've been any further to the right, I wouldn't have been able to break the wooden planks near the end of the chapter.
