Doom2 section 
Just got interested in Doom2 speedrunning and made a table for it. It's almost empty now, but hopefully I have enough motivation to fill it a bit soon ;-)

BTW, deadline for "Get down into the mines" -Doom2 contest is 12nd December. 

extra Easter egg for Grenades
Attila Csernyik and Chroy have recorded a coop, finishing the level in 4.77 seconds! A perfect demo.

Two new entries for e2m1
Evan Wagner did e2m1 in 8.84.
Qurre did it in 8.89.

Get into the Mines!
Here it goes, a DOOM2 competition. Yes, I must be mad. Anyways, the idea is to run one of my old maps, Mines, on Ultraviolence skill. You don't have to care about kills or anything, just run.

Although there's no need to kill the monsters, I just recorded a 100% of Mines 5:40, in which I show all the secrets and kill the monsters. That mine-540.lmp is included in the mines.zip, and it's definately NOT speedrunning! :)

Grenade contest! 
So, finally the time for the deadline. Congratulations to Muriel for winning the contest with his awesome double-ogre-GJ. There are lots of quality demos that you should check out, so head over to the results page.

New entry for e2m1 contest
Alexander "Muriel" Osipov sent me 8.94 for e2m1 contest. He claims that nobody will ever get 0:07, perhaps he is right? ;-)

ROTW at SDA
Another Run of the week contest at SDA ended. The idea was to run e4m1 without using the barrel-jump to reach the floodgate button, so you were supposed to use "the long way". Congratulations to Peter Horvath for winning the contest with his incredible 0:18 demo, which is 6! seconds faster than The Rabbit Run time. You just HAVE to see his demo -> I though my entry (0:19) was optimal...

I know it sounds strange, the previous record in e4m1 was 0:24. There's a really wacky new trick... Get the demos from SDA.

New Demos
After a long while I desided to post some new demos I've done during the last couple days :

e1m2 0:34, nightmare run. 4 seconds faster than Quake done Quicker.
e4m2 0:36, nightmare run. Improves QDQr time by 9 seconds.
e4m3 0:44, easy run. Worth watching, improves The Rabbit Run time by 4 seconds.

Grenade madness
The contest gets even more interesting when even more people are sending faster and faster demos. The competition is very tight, so make sure that you squeeze every tenth of a second you are able to :)

Quality stuff
I've already received many good demos for the Grenade contest. I won't post the demos before 28th, but the competition is very tight. In all the demos there are cool grenade jumps, very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all the demos and good luck for further improvements :)

Grenade contest

Ehehehe.. got bored and built a short custom map in 1 hour. Get it HERE. The idea is to run this map as fast as u can killing the both monsters and "finding" the secret on easy skill. You must use QdQStats when recording. Yeah, I know the level sucks but so what. Send me your demos as soon as you've done them and rename them to "gren_<your time>".dem. Zip the demos, thanks. The contest deadline is November 28th. Have fun :)

New e2m1 -contest demos
8's again : Fredrik Arviddson did a great 8.59. Here's also Optic's 8.74...

Mad speed in e1m1
e1m1_024 wohoo! , get it from SDA, too lazy to link it...

ROTW
This weeks ROTW contest in SDA ended a couple days ago. Gibbing in e4m4 ended to 31 kills. Optic and I both got 31 kills, but I sent mine earlier... The next contest is pretty interesting, e4m1 on easy, without using the barrel to get to the floodgate button.

Three new entries
e2m1 contest is getting more popular. Chris improved his previous demo by 0.20 seconds and got 8.54. Attila and Optic both did a demo of 8.74. (the demo is Attila's) Sorry Optic, I've lost your demo please send it again :( For those who don't know the rules yet, check the contest section. Thanks for the demos. Hopefully we'll get more people in, and good luck for further improvements :)

First e2m1 contest demos
Chris sent me a nice demo of e2m1 getting 8.74. I also did a demo for it some days ago and got 8.49. Anyone else have enough skills to get 8? :)

Chthon, dead.
Improved my old record in e1m7 on nightmare skill and got 0:33.

Uploading demos...
I'm having lots of troubles with my ISP and uploading demos to FTP server... Sorry if some of the links are broken :(

ROTW news +stuff
Haven't updated for a while, too lazy and busy with school (yeah right ;). Anyways, the usual ROTW contest -e2m5 without RL-  in SDA ended some days ago, which I won getting a time of 38.3 :) Peter and Burninsun were pretty close getting 39. both. The new contest has been up for a couple of days : "e1m6, skill 0, activate the gold key bridge, run to exit", yes it's simple and easy. So go RUN!

E2M1 in seven seconds. Ridiculous!?
e2m1 0:07 IS possible (it's proved by using hfr), but nobody has gotten it without hfr. So here's a contest : get e2m1 0:07. The contest will be going on as long as someone manages to get :07. In order to enter, you must get a 0:08. So everyone who has gotten 8, please send it.

New demos?
Argh, I'll update them someday... Too busy at the moment. That e2m1 8.49 should be enough for now :)

That's it...
Just got bored to that damn buggy counter and removed it... Oh, now those old news should be working (why does anyone want to read them...?   :)
