Half Life 2, Lowest Graphical Settings Possible (CFG in Description)

Please read all of the annotations before commenting. I'd like to have more original comments.

Original description:
I lowered the graphical quality of Half-Life 2 by a huge amount, and this is the result. I'm sorry for jumping around too much. Also, I forgot to disable vertical sync, so the whole time the game was running at a solid 60. I have no idea what the capabilities where beyond that if I had removed the cap.

The settings used were:

mat_dxlevel 60
cl_ragdoll_collide 0
sv_cheats 1
mat_picmip 4
r_WaterDrawReflection 0
r_WaterDrawRefraction 0
mat_wateroverlaysize 8
r_lod 5
mat_fullbright 1
mat_diffuse 5
mat_bumpmap 0
r_shadows 0
mat_fullbright 1
mat_forceaniso 0
mat_forcehardwaresync 0
mat_reducefillrate 0
mat_mipmaptextures 0
mat_filtertextures 0
mat_bloom 0
mat_envmapsize 32
mat_envmapgasize 8
mat_antialiasing 0
cl_phys_props_enable 0
mat_filterlightmaps 0
mat_showlowresimage 1

I compiled that list together from various videos I found, as well as from messing around with all of the commands beginning with "mat_". Some of the strange effects you see are probably easily removed with no performance impact, so if you find anything, comment about it.

Number one way to ensure the same old boring stale comments: tell people NOT to make said comments.

@Artstsym

I used to get at least a dozen comments a day saying how the game looks like Minecraft. Not any more. My tactics may not be liked by all, but since I read every comment I get it was tiring. Some people may not understand that I really do read every comment and therefore think it's unreasonable to ask for some originality in the comments I get.
