As I understand it, Looper got a record of 1 hour and 13 minutes and decided to lower it even further, but he hasn't gotten around to it. I have no idea if he will. Maybe if he doesn't, his achievement will show up in some form or another. I would like to see him finish, too.

I can see the value of blind runs if people are doing them with commentary. That's entertaining. Commentary-less blind runs are valuable to the map author if they need their work playtested. I'm not sure I see the value of blind speedrun demos. I agree with most others that it would be good to route the run first.

When I read your text, I first thought it was the All Ghosts bug, but it's not, because you're stuck within the confines of the walls. And I was stuck, because I -recordfromto'd from your demo near the end. The Hall of Mirrors effect is what happens when map authors leave walls/floors untextured. That's what it looks like happened here. It looks like the map authors wanted to keep you in the map and punish you when you tried to leave. Every time I open the exit door and move around, the walls and ceiling shut down. Pressing a switch doesn't change it. It's not a bug - it's the desired behavior for the map. I might be wrong - I might be on the wrong complevel or something, but there's nothing in the wad text file that tells me what complevel I'm supposed to use. I wish you had said more about the bug - not bug, event - in your forum post, though. It takes effort for me to download files and play them - more effort than if someone posts the video. I often cannot be bothered to put the work in. If someone puts a good description, it might motivate me to take a look.

If you mean me, then thanks :) If you mean the thread at large or someone else, then I'm sure it's appreciated.

I kind of answered this in a recent thread, but make a run that hasn't been done yet. I like figuring out the mechanics involved in solving an unsolved puzzle. There's also a blank spot in the table and I want something to be there. Not all the time, though. Some things makes me want to beat an existing run, like knowing that a run is beatable, or wanting to match my performance that I did in a TAS, or seeing a question mark run. I don't care how hard it is - I just want to beat that question mark. I'm not motivated as much by crowns since I'm never going to be someone who does dozens of high quality runs per week. The ones I do have are nice.

Normally TASes should be posted in the TAS thread. Cool looking map/demo, though.

That's Episode 4 - Thy Flesh Consumed. I'm sure you know, because you've done it before. Just pointing it out so you can correct it. Edit: You're welcome, and I watched your run. Your time on the run is 5:05, not 3:57 :p Edit again: I was confused, but it's fixed now, so never mind.

Way to go :)

It's exactly the same demo. There are two copies of it, and I just wanted one copy. The only difference is the one uploaded more recently has a more accurate text file.

Could one of my SIGIL E3M5 stroller TAS demos be deleted from the archive? Just the oldest one, so that there is only one there. Thank you, if possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ultimate Doom E1M1 Stroller in 18.14 e1m1strx1814.zip https://odysee.com/@taedev:2/doom_e1m1_strx_1814

Impressive work, but I particularly like Tysons and tablefills. P.S. You don't need all secrets for Tyson runs. They can get long enough already without requiring secrets.

Episode 1: E1M3 (Toxin Refinery) close behind: E1M5 (Phobos Lab) also notable: E1M6 (Central Processing) and E1M7 (Computer Station) These top two are the ones I have the most nostalgia for, and the ones I like the most. I certainly played E1M1 as a kid, and it scared me so much that I had to play it with cheats. It's fine, but it hasn't held up as much as 3 and 5. Episode 2: E2M2 (Containment Area). Lots to do, lots of places to go, lots to punch. I like it. Also notable: E2M4 (Deimos Lab) and E2M3 (Refinery). I'm not sure why people don't like E2M3, because I do. I like what the vines add to the atmosphere, and it's kind of non-linear, so I like that too. Episode 3: E3M4 (House of Pain). Fun with the berserk, fun with crushers. Not as fun to pacifist, but just don't pacifist. Also notable: E3M7 has grown on me. Wide open spaces, creepy atmosphere. Episode 4: E4M5 (They Will Repent). The texturing is bland, but I like the level design. Somehow this is my favorite. close behind: E4M6 (Against Thee Wickedly). Definitely not bland, lots of adventure, lots of challenge. Episode 5: E5M4 (Paths of Wretchedness) close behind: E5M7 (Nightmare Underworld). Maybe a little less fun to play, but more fun to watch than E5M4. I like the adventure and the atmosphere in both. Doom II: Map 24 (The Chasm). My favorite by far. Lots to explore, very non-linear. You can make this level as easy or as hard as you want. 2nd place: Map 04 (The Focus). 3rd place (tied): Map 18 (The Courtyard) and Map 19 (The Citadel). I have trouble explaining why I like these maps, aside from them mostly being non-linear and having a lot to explore. E1M3, E2M2, E3M4, E4M5, E5M4, and The Chasm are my favorites, with The Chasm is my favorite of all of them.
