But your added context of being a pacifist speedrun makes the video more interesting.

When I first started playing it was keyboard only. Used to play deathmatch like that too. Think I played Duke3d like that as well. I can't remember what my first M+KB game was at this point--maybe Blood? It might've been even as late as Half Life.
I don't know. Just happened to do it that way.
Nowdays I use wasd and a mouse
