News comes from Randy at I.Am-TFC that when the Half-Life 1.0.1.3 patch broke all their old demos, "the world's fastest TFC flag-runners were pretty sad" (apparently they all hang around in a cafe somewhere swapping speed run stories all day over small cups of rich exotic coffee). This sadness, however, soon gave way to resolve to show the world that even faster demos were possible. Now having accomplished their daunting task, the site has posted no less than 28 new 1.0.1.3 demos of speed-runs, combat action, and special techniques described as "great for learning from the experts, benchmarking, or just watching for fun." Contented, the speed runners can go back to their coffee and war stories.
