Favorite speedrunning demo(s) from yourself (the one(s) that you're most proud of)?
I like my easy e3m1 100% naked run and the nightmare 100% naked on e1m2 skill 3 and I did all id1 with no armor/ +100/pent with 31 damage in total (5% e1m7 / 26% e2m5)had to do some hard moves(i found the end jump from teleporter at e4m2 real hard) for it and was a lot of fun finding out all the routes

Favorite speedrunning demo(s) from others?
e1m4_ehmm that to easy, his e1m1 nightmare wich i still used in wav

Favorite player (overall/runs/100%/marathon/coop)?
Ilkka Kurkela

Favorite trick in a demo?
e1m4_ ehh every trick that contains a ehmm no has been said to sah i like this one:(dont know if it ever will be any use) e4m2, drop through the wateron the bars(take pent if you want to) get on top of the shambler, get lucky,get blue key,unfortunately the teleporter is not open

Favorite QdQ release?
Wav! I think qdf should be beaten by qds (spawn)

castled!/deadsimple (just got that that's why:)/hmmm lots of them are great

Most annoying monster/map?
ogre at nightmareskill completely no brains just standing at one point not knowing how to throw a decent grenade, when there are a lot of them my frame rate drops cuz of all those explosions they hit everyone who might have given you a hard timeor you need for a trick and they are so fat evreyone will hit them/for speedrunning e2m6/dm/ctf dm4 god i hate that map always campers evrywhere
