Welcome to the (un)official Alien Swarm Speedrunning group!

Exactly like our name implies - our goal is to be the first, foremost, last, and definitive force in speedrunning the Alien Swarm mod. We dissect every official level in the game, breaking it down to its components and planning the best path through until it's as finely-orchestrated as possible.

Our group is open and welcoming to anybody who plays Alien Swarm, and plays legitimately. Just own a Source-powered game, download the mod, and don't hack, and you're in!

Don't worry if you don't have a microphone - as long as you can type, you can still contribute! Of course, if you do have one, by all means use it and make everyone's life that much easier.

We haven't been as active recently, mainly because our chief administrator is a lazy jerkface (feel free to remind him of that). But eventually, we plan to be the go-to group for any and all Alien Swarm strategy.

One of our members gave us a head start on that, too - Bones has created a playlist of legitimate speed run videos, which can be found at the link below. We're all very grateful for his work - keep it up!

See you out there, marines!

Ladies, gentlemen, and everybody in between,

You continue to amaze me. Our fledgling group has grown to a whopping 100 people!

I never dreamed that we'd grow to even a fraction of the size of the official Alien Swarm group - although now that I think about it, even having 1 person would still make us a fraction of them, just a very *small* fraction.

But I digress. The point is, WE'RE FRIGGIN' HUGE!

And guess how we oughta celebrate?

---Tl;dr? Start here!---

That's right, Speed Run Sunday is back for more! And once again, we're having a group chat session beforehand. Times are at the bottom.

A quick note - for the speed run event, I've decided to rotate the time between America, Europe, and Asia. So, this new event will start so that it's in the morning for Asia and the evening for America, and Europe will join later. I'm doing this so that everybody can get involved at least one-out-of-three weekends.

Chat: All day Saturday. Keep your eyes open for a notification.

Speed Run: Tentatively scheduled for 1 AM Zulu Time/GMT.

Once again, you can find a Time Zone Map here to plan ahead (Zulu Time/GMT is at the Greenwich Meridian, 12 Noon).

See you in the field, marines!

I once hacked/and got banned in CSS, though that is a long time ago now.
May I still join? I am a fast and pro Alien Swarm player.
Also I should note that I already have ALL Alien Swarm Achivements and have done most of the maps on speedrun more than once.
