Half-L.A.I.F. 2: Episode 2 - Chapter 2 - This Vortal Coil
4Half-Life 2: Episode 2 - Looking around is forbidden
My attempt at playing through the entire HL2:EP2 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.

No, this isn't a joke. You can skip a whole chapter (2 or 3 maps) with this one simple trick! Speedrunners hate him! (Except they taught me this trick :p)
This is the only time in Half-L.A.I.F. so far where I had to use a script (because I can't time jumps well enough to do this).
For anyone confused, this is referred to as accelerated back hopping (ABH), which was an attempt by Valve to fix bunny hopping. Jumping while facing away from your movement direction and crouching will keep accelerating you.
Combine that with a ramp, and you got upwards motion!
This map is a hub that you'd usually get back to later on, but I skipped all of that just like this.
