Easy run of e1m3 in :38 for the Quake done Quick lite project
| |
Favorite speedrunning demo(s) from others?
Nightmare 100% of E1M6 in :53 by Peter Horvath
Just about any Peter Horvath run in the upcoming Quake done 100% Quick lite project
| |
Favorite player (overall/runs/100%/marathon/coop)?
Peter Horvath. Yeah, I know Markus is the king of speed and the fastest around, but Peter is simply the best all-rounder I've seen, capable of producing fast runs and performing many tough tricks and have the endurance to do everything to perfection through an entire map
| |
Favorite trick in a demo?
Double vore-ball jump by Evan on E3M6 back before the days of bunny-hopping
| |
Favorite QdQ release?
Favorite original Quake map?
E1M3. No other map has provided so much challenge to speed runners
| |
Favorite custom map?
Hip1M3. I hardly look at custom maps, really
| |
Most annoying monster/map?
Do you like Doom/Quake2/Q3A?
Doom? Yeah baby. Hey, I was camping at the wuarchive.wustl.edu ftp site on 10th December 1993. If that date is not significant to you, then you're not worthy :)
Quake 2, yeah, but not for long. Only kept it around just to co-ordinate and watch the runs for Quake 2 done Quick Too and to take care of the Quake 2 section of Speed Demos Archive. I played Q3Test, but grew bored of it and didn't get Quake3 Arena
| |
What do you think of Quake now?
The only reason I keep it around now is to watch speed runs. And that's a good enough reason to keep it around for a few more years :)
