Thank you, Andy. This week's DSDA update is one of my greatest gaming moments ever. <3

Why so? I'm curious.

Well, I did two tyson runs that had never been done before, which feels incredible. It also looks like I motivated j4rio to make even more tysons, so we suddenly got a great tyson rush, a total of 6 hours and 44 minutes of tyson madness! There are great runs in the update from Zero-Master and others, too. Just seeing my nick on the same page with all those awesome doomers feels like an achievement to me. A screenshot from that page is like a photograph in my autistic online family alboom.

Oh girl i know that feeling.. We're on the same page here ;)

Looks like my estranged runs slipped through the crack http://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/1385774. Unless you're just waiting for it to show up on idgames, which I can understand. It should have been up by now, I'm not sure what the author is up to :P

[Andy Olivera]

41 demos this week.

Aqfaq: Congrats! Good Tyson demos are always appreciated, especially when they haven't been done before.

kraflab: Yes, I'm just waiting for an official release.

[Andy Olivera]

19 demos this week.

stx-Vile's D1EP1 NM-Speed is 6:46, not 8:35.

Andy's taking the ExM8 time into account, which wasn't possible back in the days of Compet-N when there wasn't a reliable way to calculate it.
The time from E1M1-E1M7 is indeed 6:46, but when E1M8 is added, it becomes 8:35.

[Andy Olivera]

50 demos this week.

[Joca64]

My Ultimate Doom E3M1 UV-Tyson in 2:33 seems to have been mistakenly placed under Map01.

[Andrea Rovenski]

Dime's MAP07 nomo is actually MAP08 for Flashback to Hell

[Andy Olivera]

52 demos this week.

Joca & Cyber: Both fixed. Thanks!

[vdgg]

Eternal MAP21: Adam Landefeld's demo is pseudo-Max, doesn't kill 2 arachnotrons and 4 arch-viles on purpose.

[Andy Olivera]

38 demos this week.

vdgg: Fixed. Thanks! Oh, and another awesome TAS. :-)

[Andrea Rovenski]

Added another MAP01 demo for Joca's E3M1 tyson. I would assume it's because of the way he formats his text file.

[4shockblast]

My Abyssal Speedmapping Session 19 demos and the fourth weekly IL demos got missed.

[dew]

I went through the TVR table and compared it to my local archive and the TVR thread. There's a bunch of demos missing from the 2006 era when attachments didn't work yet and some guys linked archives from their personal webspaces. Those are all dead nowadays, of course. At one point Grazza filled in Method's runs. Btw, that link got deleted/misplaced somehow and the attachment was added/fixed by Linguica yesterday.

Anyways, I'm attaching a bunch of cack_handed demos I somehow managed to obtain. I don't even remember how. The archive contains:

tv11-158 - max
tv12p016 - pacifist
tv13p008 - pacifist
tv14-103 - other (max with a missed secret, 50% only)
tv14-112 - max
tv25n003 - nm speed
tv25p003 - pacifist

Also included an early ClumsyDoomer TAS that I didn't see on the archives:
tv14x004 - pacifist TAS

Demos still missing! I suspect Grazza might possibly have those. Luckily none of them are records anymore. :)
tv09-240 - max by cack_handed
tv10-326 - max by cack_handed
tv10m046 - nomo by cack_handed
tv11p031 - pacifist by Radeg
tv02n109 - nm speed by sneakfast
tv02n053 - nm speed by sneakfast

Furthermore, mislabeled stuff!
tv12s038 - Grazza, in pacifist section, should also be labeled stroller.
tv14-059 - Gusta, not a max! Only gets 50%, should be other.
tv14-109 - Gusta, same as above.
On map 30, it would simplify things if Grazza's 17s Legacy demo was moved to max and GrumpyCat's 10s nm speed to nm100s as the categories overlap.

Whew, a messy situation, heh.

This demo was not missed, it's for map13. My mistake.

[dew]

Oh heh, my bad. And I even played it back and somehow didn't realize it.

Seems likely.

BTW, there are a lot of unmarked strollers at DSDA.

I'm sure it would take a herculean effort to properly "debug" all DSDA tables. Thanks a lot for the demos!

[4shockblast]

dew's post inspired me to look through some of the Scythe runs on DSDA and check for some errors (mostly I looked at UV-Speed/NM-Speed runs to check for pacifist/NM100s):

All the map 1 Tysons are also UV-Maxes, including the co-op Tyson (although in co-op, UV-Max and UV-Tyson are significantly different as there are weapons other than the chainsaw).
All map 4 UV-Speeds are pacifist except tatsurd's TAS.
All map 5 NM-Speeds are also NM100.
Ryback's demo pack NM-Speed for map 6 is NM100.
I dunno how to check GZDoom runs for pacifist, but most likely Cyberdemon531's map 7 UV-Speed is Pacifist, as he fires the rocket for the RJ far from any of the mancs.
Ryback's demo pack NM-Speed for map 8 is NM100.
Opulent's map 10 UV-Speed (sc10-033) is in 0:22, not 0:33, heh.
Method's map 14 NM-Speed (sn14-058) is NM100.
Ryback's demo pack NM-Speed for map 17 is NM100.
All the map 18 UV-Speed TASes are pacifist as well.
Ryback's demo pack NM-Speed for map 20 is NM100.
Angus' map 22 UV-Speed (sc22-032) is also pacifist.
Opulent's map 27 UV-Speed (sP27-013op) is also pacifist.

[Grazza]

A few more missing cack_handed demos:

TVR map14 NM 100S in 0:41
Doom2 Episode 1 UV Max Cervantes style in 50:15
Doom2 "to the death" Nightmare! movie Cervantes style; 01-06 in 13:58 (dies on map07)

Cervantes = mouse only, one-handed

Now that sounds like something I'm gonna do.

[4shockblast]

Another unrelated error, Michael Novikov's run for temple.wad from here is on E2M1 not E1M1 as stated in the textfile.

[Andy Olivera]

50 demos this week.

All added and fixed (I think) since last update. Thanks!

[Fredrik]

An old error: doom2 lv32-o24 is listed as UV Max, but only gets 33% secrets, so should presumably be moved to "Other"

[4shockblast]

I spent some time watching all of the Perdition's Gate runs to see if I can find any mistakes. The only one I found was that Opulent's map 17 max (pg17_510) misses four monsters, two ghost imps and two imps that didn't teleport.

Another interesting thing about the map 27 demos that miss a secret: Opulent's run misses a different secret than both cannonball's runs. :P
