heeyyy UA-cam algorithm finally did it’s thing properly and recommended me a cool up-and-coming longform speedrun content creator wish ya lots of energy and desire to keep doing what you do!
this came up in my recommended videos and i was fascinated by the name alone. i lost it in the first ten minutes of the video after you explained the details of the run. good shit my dude,
Music track playing from 0:00 to 1:44 and 18:27 to 20:05 is called Space X-plorers by Kevin MacLeod. You are welcome. The "reference" link provided does not include this track.
it does have it though, searched for "space", and the track was at the end of the list. the website doesnt display all the author's tracks with a default query if they have a lot of them
Portal manages to bring together an entire community by creating one of the most astonishing parts of narrative journalism I have ever seen. So much admiration for this man. GGs #ChungusGudRun
This is a nice collab video breaking down this seemingly silly category, which turns out to be one of the more hardcore ones in speedrunning. There really is something funny about making harry fat, then making it one of the fastest/optimized categories in the entire game. #chungusgodrun
Ok, I arrive really late on that one, but wow ! ^^' Great video, well documented, showing how much a category evolution is a huge community effort and not a single runner's own doing. Making many runners participate in the commentary was a really nice touch aswell ! Keep up the great work Portal ! #Chungusgudrun
Shout out Keira and Amanda, the teenage daughters of me neighbour who were stuck looking after me after school. They had a PS2 and this game and I played the fuck out of it. I still remember having ice blocks with Rugrats branding and then playing this game while they did their 10th grade homework and I wondered what the fuck an algebra was
this is amazing dude! Subscribed :) (my only note is turn down the music a _tiny bit_ and turn [some of] the voices up a little bit and you're golden!)
This video was incredibly fun to watch and really heartwarming bringing together a full community to cover the collective work! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks for the feedback, yeah, I've definitely noticed even in post production that it was a bit on the loud side, haha! I'll for sure keep it in mind for the future
23:37 I was watching a tournament that Nixxo was streaming when it was mention this tactic and wondering if any of the runners would use it. I think it was either warpless or glitchless tournament of the past year.
Yeah, especially at the start of the video, the music is kinda loud. I've noted that and will definitely keep it in mind for the next project! Thanks for the feedback
Thank you so much for the kind words! Any% will take a lot of time and effort, we've already started and have a dedicated team working on it :) in the meantime, there are some other stories I'd really like to tell regarding these games, so I'll have stuff out while we work on Any% ^^
The fatness itself is an attribute of Unreal Engine 1 if I recall correctly, likely used for the difference in sizes for gnomes and such. As for Harry's fatness triggering all spells, devs left that in as an easter egg
Fascinating, the youtube algorithm finally hit a bullseye! Absolutely loved this well researched and well written peek into the depths of insanity! I don't recall hearing it in the video, perhaps I missed it - but I'm curious as to the reason why almost all the game footage is of the swedish version? Is there a specific glitch or exploit specific to that version in particular?
Since cutscenes played during the full-game runs are unskippable, the the length of the dialogues depends on the language, and the language timed to be the fastest was Swedish. Most people have the game already installed in Swedish, and didn't bother installing a second instance. Swedish doesn't save our lose time over English in Chungus%, it's just more convenient to keep playing in it
Harry Potter speedruns aren't as talked about very much they should I'm very impressed by some harry potter runs, like all 8 games on PC in under 11 hrs harry potter 4 in under 59 minutes and all 23 games in about 32 hours, and all 23 games 100% in like 3 days it's all super impressive to me.
All tracks are listed at the end, in the credits. The main theme I used throughout the video was Kevin MacLeod's Space Explorers ^^ you can find the music in the description. If you're looking for a specific track, check out the credits at the end ^^
That is the brightness bar, reloading the game while paused unpauses the game in the background and moving the brightness bar during this sends Harry into the air.
As a Dutch, I have to love the name DrKaasKnabbelaar. Dr. Cheese nibler EDIT: Are you Dutch too? Your pronunciation of kaas is perfect. I'm impressed, I would have never guessed from the rest of the narration.
Unreal engine 1 has a fatness setting. This works in HP1 as well but it doesn't cast the spells. In hp2 they decided as an easter to add the casts when harry is chonky. The devs did confirm this in an interview with Nixxo a few months ago.
I cant bring this game to run. Got the originam pc game. I destroyef my first mouse on the end boss. After that i startet all over again...mixed more potions and got better. I will never forget my grandpa said to my father "What is wrong with your son". Took me 20 more years to figure out that destroying out of frustration wont make me better.
Haha, that's relatable, the snake is truly hell, even in the speedrun :D in regards to getting the game to work - I recommend joining the HP speedrunning discord. The games are abandonware and are all linked there, with instructions on how to get going on newer systems ^^ let me know if u need help. Link is in the description
is there any explanation on why does harry have a fatness variable, why it affects the character the way it does and why getting it to more than 200 makes you cause earthquakes? like, you gotta program all that in, games are not realistic simulator, much less in that era, someone went out their freaking way to make chungus harry a reality
In UE1 every given actor has a fatness attribute. As for Harry's fatness changing his behaviour, you're absolutely right. When asked in an interview by Nixxo last year, the devs specifically stated that it was left in as an Easter egg, among other things. All of it was in fact implemented and on purpose
@@KnoxCarbon also a possibility. What most runners do now is they bind a hotkey with the command and simply press it before skipping the first cutscene
yeah, especially at the start. I noticed in post production, but I had lost the files required to fix it. I've definitely taken a mental note for that for the future, thanks for the feedback!
yeah, especially at the beginning segments. I noticed that in post-production, but had sadly already lost the files for these parts, so I took a mental note and fixed it for the later parts of the video. Will definitely take a note for the future tho!
its been a year and chungus is still good
‘The discovery of aragog manipulation was the biggest time save found in chungus percent to date’ is a wild sentence
it sounds like something an AI would write if you told it to make a speedrunning documentary script
Its funny because we were messing around with chatgbt when the video was being written i dont think we actually used anything from it though.
Bless you for providing extremely high quality subtitles for the entire thing.
Thanks! It wasn't originally planned, but I had insane help with them
Me beating snek should be a 30 minute segment. Jokes aside im really proud of everyone who worked on this. We did an amazing job
Truly, a category of speedrunning.

the quality is amazing

My sense of humor must be broken. I have no idea why Mega-Harry slamming into the ground and creating a massive dust cloud is so funny
We stan HP2 PC speedrunning 🙌👏👌
honestly tho we stan it

#chungusgodrun
I can't believe this video is a year old.
Cannot believe pissbaby69 was almost left out
that would have made the video invalid you know
Thanks for the entertaining and well-researched video, it's always so fun hearing about all the collective effort that goes into achieving WRs.
this wonderful speedrun story thanks for your efforts! I really laughed at the ending with "Any% soon..."
Ok, I arrive really late on that one, but wow ! ^^'
Great video, well documented, showing how much a category evolution is a huge community effort and not a single runner's own doing.
Making many runners participate in the commentary was a really nice touch aswell !
Keep up the great work Portal ! #Chungusgudrun
i think ive rewatched the enter flo montage like 50 times now its just too good
Really amazing video, glad to fully watch this. Im proud of everyone that came together to work on this.
Yay! Portalguy's video finally getting the recognition it deserves! Keep it up brother.
Shout out Keira and Amanda, the teenage daughters of me neighbour who were stuck looking after me after school. They had a PS2 and this game and I played the fuck out of it. I still remember having ice blocks with Rugrats branding and then playing this game while they did their 10th grade homework and I wondered what the fuck an algebra was
You deserve much more subs and views! This video is amazing: the video, ur voice ecc. awesome stuff, keep it up!
this is amazing dude! Subscribed :)
(my only note is turn down the music a _tiny bit_ and turn [some of] the voices up a little bit and you're golden!)
You can definetly tell all the effort put into this, great video!
Only a few minutes in, i already know this will be a banger. YT really upped their recommendation game lately.
This video was incredibly fun to watch and really heartwarming bringing together a full community to cover the collective work! Looking forward to seeing more!
I'm very happy you enjoyed it ^^ there will be more very soon
It's actually crazy to see this, sub 8 was so hard to get, and then bam. 3 of them nearing 7:50
Really amazing video. You can see how much work you put into it.
That was the most epic video I have watched on UA-cam. I salute the work you put in #chungusgudrun
#ChungusGudRun **
you should check short 20 hours skyrim video
Hi
great video! Just a small suggestion, you might consider reducing the music volume against your voice a tiny bit. Loved the vibes!
Thanks for the feedback, yeah, I've definitely noticed even in post production that it was a bit on the loud side, haha! I'll for sure keep it in mind for the future
Amazing video! Enjoyed it from beginning to end
Don't know what's up with UA-cam Algorithms, but it recommends small channels like this more than before. Looking forward to more documentaries
Pretty good video for a small channel, didn't expect you to have
huge passion creates great projects :D
glad u enjoyed it
23:37 I was watching a tournament that Nixxo was streaming when it was mention this tactic and wondering if any of the runners would use it. I think it was either warpless or glitchless tournament of the past year.
Yeah, this was discovered like a week before the glitchless B tournament I believe
The algorithm shines brightly upon you brother. Can't wait to see more content :D
Feedback: boost your audio a bit, it's a bit hard to hear over the background music, you want to have your voice front and center
Yeah, especially at the start of the video, the music is kinda loud. I've noted that and will definitely keep it in mind for the next project! Thanks for the feedback
This is arguably the best speedrun history video I've ever watched, I can't wait for the any%.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Any% will take a lot of time and effort, we've already started and have a dedicated team working on it :) in the meantime, there are some other stories I'd really like to tell regarding these games, so I'll have stuff out while we work on Any% ^^
@@Portalguy1000 I'm excited.
Dude I love HP speedruns. They're wild!
Came here after a King's Quest Speedrun History video, great video mate
Speedrun Mystery SOLVED After 7 Years by OnSortEye? I followed the same path.
All of this makes so much sense.
Great job! A lot of work went into this, hope it blows up!
Oh fuck, i read channel name as "portugal guy"
@@Barryislarge same
dude this was my fav pc game as a kid, well the one time I played it.
mine too ^^
I love the effort put into the subtitles!
*I truly don't know why im watching this but i need more*
Soon
tm
Dude this was so good. Definitely earned a sub.
Great video Portal! I bet there will be some big streamers reacting to this soon should beef up those views
Chungus modes should bebin every Harry Potter game. Even the Lego ones. Perhaps especially
A BEAN
excellent video hope your channel gets bigger good stuff
Ok, solid video. But I still have one question. Why the hell does this game have a fatness attribute to begin with?
The fatness itself is an attribute of Unreal Engine 1 if I recall correctly, likely used for the difference in sizes for gnomes and such. As for Harry's fatness triggering all spells, devs left that in as an easter egg

@@marczeslaw11 Thanks! That was my guess! Interesting stuff. Plus it's fun to hear snippets of the voices from the version i played as a kid! :)
what am i watching? why? but most important: can I get more?
Working on the next project already ^^
Awesome job Portal and everyone involved 😄😄
thank you :)
I feel like I just watched a long and inspiring documentary about Mt Everest climbers.
What the fuck

This seems like a good use of what little time I have on Earth
What is the music you guys play at the beginning and throughout the video. It’s very beautiful and I’m struggling to find it!
All tracks are listed at the end, in the credits. The main theme I used throughout the video was Kevin MacLeod's Space Explorers ^^ you can find the music in the description. If you're looking for a specific track, check out the credits at the end ^^
hey reader, I hope you're doing well
Thanks, you too :D
Great video pal, you got my sub
pog category, not as good as #5GBA but very solid
What settings are they sliding back and forth in the pause menu during the runs? I'm curious what they are quickly modifying between moves!
That is the brightness bar, reloading the game while paused unpauses the game in the background and moving the brightness bar during this sends Harry into the air.
@@gawb4544 thank you so much!
Bless the algorithm
That was an epic watch! Thank you for making this
It's a run that gives them something to do.
I'm ten minutes in and melting with the smooth jazz... incredible
50:42 honestly I'd be surprised if that was intentional. If only he was .05 seconds slower.
Maybe voice should be a little louder, while music a little quieter. It's relative thing, feels like music is louder than voice atm.
thanks for the feedback :) I've taken note for the future!
Bravo sir, bravo...
As a Dutch, I have to love the name DrKaasKnabbelaar. Dr. Cheese nibler
EDIT: Are you Dutch too? Your pronunciation of kaas is perfect. I'm impressed, I would have never guessed from the rest of the narration.
I myself am Bulgarian :) Seven, who is the main narrator is Belgian. I always envisioned him to narrate this project because of his voice
Yes more long run speedrun lore
Why does the game have a fatness setting?
Unreal engine 1 has a fatness setting. This works in HP1 as well but it doesn't cast the spells. In hp2 they decided as an easter to add the casts when harry is chonky. The devs did confirm this in an interview with Nixxo a few months ago.
Nixxo does so many categories for harry potter.
I cant bring this game to run. Got the originam pc game. I destroyef my first mouse on the end boss.
After that i startet all over again...mixed more potions and got better.
I will never forget my grandpa said to my father "What is wrong with your son". Took me 20 more years to figure out that destroying out of frustration wont make me better.

@@Portalguy1000 Thanks. I will look into it.
Should have just gotten a single narrator. The narration and voice/mic quality is all over the place.
I'll try to make them more balanced for next one :) I kinda like it with more people, it's mostly on me that the audio is unbalanced ^^
I literally had no idea the narrator wasn't actually British. The utter confusion I had when he started talking in an American accent was palpable.
The crazy thing - he's Belgian xD
@@Portalguy1000 Broooo I'm too high for this right now, wtf
Music is so good dude
is there any explanation on why does harry have a fatness variable, why it affects the character the way it does and why getting it to more than 200 makes you cause earthquakes? like, you gotta program all that in, games are not realistic simulator, much less in that era, someone went out their freaking way to make chungus harry a reality

When asked in an interview by Nixxo last year, the devs specifically stated that it was left in as an Easter egg, among other things. All of it was in fact implemented and on purpose
@@Portalguy1000 what a lovely game development company
is him being fat something that happens in game or is it a mod giving him damaging jumps and making him big?
it's just the fatness command that lets you trigger it
ye, it's in the game basically, the game is not modified
But... why is 'Fatness' a variable?
Likely has to do with the variety of thickness in different creatures, such as gnomes, pixies etc. Every single actor has a fatness value in hp2
this guy sounds like he should be pronouncing wizard as weez-yard
Congrats to Human for 7:3X
I follow Harry potter speedruns and I also do harry potter speedruns also, I'm not very good at speedrunning harry potter but I do it nonetheless.
Wait...they allow debug codes in this run?
Only at the start of the run - to set Harry's fatness. The use of debug mode after the first load (the start of the timer) is strictly prohibited
Couldn't they just put together a mod so debug mode isn't necessary?
@@KnoxCarbon also a possibility. What most runners do now is they bind a hotkey with the command and simply press it before skipping the first cutscene

1:20 The boxart is upside down 😂
Like the video but the background music is a bit loud
yeah, especially at the start. I noticed in post production, but I had lost the files required to fix it. I've definitely taken a mental note for that for the future, thanks for the feedback!
making titles for 1,5 hours video must be a torture
Yeah, I had huge help with that
Omg I’m also an idiot. I just realized YOU are the Portal in the video. Lmao, it’s been a hard morning, okay?
Haha, no worries ^^ it's been a fun ride
Music is too loud.
yeah, especially at the beginning segments. I noticed that in post-production, but had sadly already lost the files for these parts, so I took a mental note and fixed it for the later parts of the video. Will definitely take a note for the future tho!
@@Portalguy1000 Thank you for acknowledging it, some people get defensive.
I was here!
Perfect accent for Harry Potter lol
what did i just watch
ths discord link dont work
yo, thanks for pointing that out, should be fixed now :)
yo, I'm there :O
musics a bit too loud
yeah, especially at the start! I've taken note and will definitely do something about it for the next video ^^ thx for the feedback!
@@Portalguy1000 np, gl in the future
you will never be a real wizard
why does a harry potter game have a *fatness* parameter
It's an attribute for Unreal Engine 1. Every actor has a fatness parameter :)
