This run first started after the discovery of a new glitch, which snowballed into a whirlwind of discoveries of new tricks, skips, and glitches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We started running chambers in April, took a brief hiatus, and then resumed work in late June. The bulk of the run was completed in about two weeks time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video below to see how it&#8217;s done, and realise just how much you suck at games.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mC47O6mKHJY?feature=player_embedded\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41927-windows-8-is-a-catastrophe-says-gabe-newell.html\">Windows 8 is a \u201ccatastrophe\u201d, says Gabe Newell<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41887-left-4-dead-2-cold-stream-dlc-out-now-on-pc-mac.html\">Left 4 Dead 2 Cold Stream DLC out now on PC, Mac<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/41755-portal-2s-space-core-going-to-space-on-shuttle.html\">Portal 2\u2032s Space Core going to space on shuttle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/41559-10-most-played-games-on-steam-right-now.html\">10 most played games on Steam right now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You, [subject name here], must be the pride of [subject hometown here].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":41938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,2471,1598,5910,697],"class_list":["post-41928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-portal","tag-record","tag-speedrun","tag-valve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41928"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41928\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41940,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41928\/revisions\/41940"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
