What is that?
Wikipedia says yes.
Absolutely Amazing!
Good Work Boots!

That my FRiend is a Portal Gun, it was made by Aperture Science.

No Refunds.
Insanity
I got queasy just watching the video.
I hear your tensors flexing.
I did some climbing in my youth but nothing anywhere close to the difficult climbs this guy does.
Knew a guy who free climbed a 300’ 5.6 that we did on belay and thought he was insane. He took the same approach to riding a motorcycle. He was a better climber than rider and died in the saddle.
Oh, okay. I played a very tiny bit of the first one on Orange Box. We mostly played Half-Life 2.

You see a pattern here?
Unlike Leeroy Jenkins, Gabe Newell does Nothing Quickly.
