i played e1m1 in 2022 during QBJ1
i watched a speedrun youtube video about e1m1 it in early 2024
on Discord, my friend would ask me to play through my maps on stream. i did this recurring bit, where after i beat my map and got sent to start, i would run over to e1m1 and play a few seconds of it

i remember...

an alcove to the left of spawn, and a raised platform to the right with green armor
an elevator with a grunt in it
a spiral ramp with lights and buttons
- a tower holding a secret that you have to slope-jump into
an outdoor section with a bridge over a river
- a secret if you travel the river
- big brown exterior facades
stairs leading to the exit with lots of grunts guarding the way out
- the speedrun video i watched mentioned how the plethora of grunts will block your path a lot...
- a secret quad to fight the grunts
a bridge above your head, leading to a nailgun
a bridge over acid
scarce 45 degree angles, mostly 90 degree angles
weird angled ceiling lights
