Q: Why do you wait at elevators sometimes?
A: This optimizes the dialogues at the end of the chamber, reducing the time I need to wait between the speech finishing and the next map loading.
Q: How are you flying?
A: There is a glitch called crouch flying which lets you keep the zero gravity effect of the excursion funnels outside of the funnel.
Q: What are those splits for Portal 2?
A: Portal 2 Live Timer, made by alphahelix235. It reads the demo files during the run and gives me accurate in-game time splits. It's very cool and you can find it here: [P2LT](https://bitbucket.org/nick_timkovich/portal-2-live-timer/wiki/Home)
