Some new stuff is coming out of the sourceruns community in the near-ish future and I'm so excited I just have to talk to whoever I can about it.
Spider-Waffle's amazing "Half Hour Half-Life" from years ago is finally going to have a proper successor in HL22, a speedrun estimated to finish around the 22 minute mark being worked on by Spider-Waffle and Quadrazid.

their progress on the project can be kept up with here

And HL2 Done Quick is getting redone on the modern source engine to take advantage of the implementation of ABH (Accelerated Back-Hop), which has provided us many an enjoyable Portal run. It doesn't have a proper teaser yet but the project is currently being referred to within the speedrunning community as "HL2:DWaHMoV", (HL2: Done with a High Magnitude of Velocity). Here's a little something to whet your appetite if you're not yet aware of the potential offered by by ABH.

There's a while to wait yet for this one, but various channels are dropping tantalizing clips of progress, this channel being one of the most notable.
If you want to try these things yourself:
for HL1, google New Gauge Half-Life, learn how to bhop, and find yourself some scripts.
for HL2, learn ABH and have fun flying around at mach 2. Until you graze a pebble and get sent flying into the skybox. But if you can avoid that it's a blast.

I have always enjoyed Half Life speed runs. I thinks it's the older style sounds that get me.

These are really fun to watch, I have so much more respect for the runners who do it all completely manually as opposed to the scripted runs though.

Quadrazid is not only an extremely talented runner, but he is also a pretty friendly dude. I added him on Steam a few months back to get some protips on GoldSrc engine movement (I was planning to get into GoldSrc engine speedrunning for a little while, never happened though). He answered all my questions and every month or so he messages me asking how my progress is coming. Super nice guy.

i really like running hl2 on the old engine rather than the new one. the new one it looks like it might be possible to go faster just because of the uncapped backwards acceleration but its not nearly as fun to play, especially single segment. hl2 is a fun game to speedrun though and either version is neat.

Our speedrun is coming along nicely
I've tried to do some of those speedrun tricks (Never attempted anything close to an actial run, though), and it's fucking hard. I have to give anyone involved with this credit, I tried reenacting one or two of the clips from HL2DQ, took over an hour each and was probably slower.

HL1 UPDATE:
Quadrazid+Spider-Waffle's run is now about halfway through the chapter "Surface Tension", and the new estimated time is 21:20 8I
here's a teaser Quadrazid released of him doing map c1a4j, first in slow-motion, then at normal speed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isyk6ZLljfw
For the uninitiated, he's dropping into the map through the ceiling with a nade cooked, he throws it as he's falling to blow up the crates, then he edgebugs the table, and object-boosts into the next map. (Thanks to the next map overlapping with this one, he'll be able to get those crate drops there)
HL2 UPDATE:
No great developments or announcements since the teaser that I'm aware of. Nova Prospekt is done and they're currently a couple maps into d3_c17.

Hello!
I'm the guy from the SourceRuns team, and I'm working on that Half-Life 2 re-run.
It's so nice to see that people here appreciate speedruns, because we've been getting a lot of flame comments on our Portal run that we released last year.
Just wanted to drop this, in case you haven't seen it yet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArlWbN9z_WHqdHZIemxZamp2ZWx0R2VCYm51V2VqLUE
It's our timesheet: all the map times we've done so far, so you can compare how much faster we are than HL2DQ.
Also, we have a little Wiki set up. You might want to read that as well, because we provide short explanations and how-to's of various tricks we do throughout the run.
http://wiki.sourceruns.org/ Check it out! :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'll answer them if I can :)

oh, cool, I didn't expect to see you post here.
Yeah people on this forum know a thing or two about getting hate from the "not how it's meant to be played" crowd.

Estimated release date? HL1/2 are some of the coolest speedruns to watch, and I've been craving some good speedrun action ever since I saw this thread.
