Dzip Update
Many of us have noticed that our demos on some of the new maps escalate in size quite quickly. Luckily we now have an updated tool that will help to tame these huge demos: Dzip v3.0. Thanks to Radix for sharing the source code!
This version adds support for the special dzip encoding of demos for protocol 666, which many newer, larger maps use. As a result, the compressed files are much smaller.
The new version can of course handle all .dz files created with earlier versions of Dzip. But, files that are created with the new version v3.0 can not be opened with older Dzip versions. So please make sure to start using the new version, so that you can unpack all future demos without issues.
Let us know if you encounter any problems with the new version.

Day of Frigg
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore never ceases to amaze us once again. He improved Peter Horvath's 20(!) year old Nightmare 100% of e4m1 by one second to get a time of 0:57 (video link). This just shows how fast some of Peter's old demos are. Must watch!
EddWardG improved Thomas Stubgaard's Easy Run of coagula3 cheapway by one second to get a time of 0:03 (video link) and the Nightmare Run by one second, 0:03 (video link). Surely must be optimal now. He also improved my Easy Run of ad_juz2 by 4 seconds to get a time of 0:23 (video link). Nicely done!

First up we have two pretty darn good ID records:
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore did the Easy 100% of e2m2 in 0:48 (video link), 5 seconds faster than Elias 'Elgu' Solla. Incredible demo!
Conny 'Jukebox' Wernersson tried his luck on the long way of e3m2 and got 0:36 (video link), 1 second faster than Petar 'PraskOo' P. Amazing!
Conny also took on the recently-improved-and-according-to-me-unbeatable Nightmare 100% record of tower and got 0:14 (video link), 1 second faster than Tony Hänninen.
A day later, he submitted yet another improvement where he exited at 0:13 (video link).
I must say that I love being misproven in situations like this!
The rest of the demos can be found here:
Unfortunately for him, Connor skipped the rocket launcher and instead used an ogre grenade getting 0:12 (video link). Connor also did the Nightmare Run and exited at 0:11 (video link).
The third party in this made-up conflict is Ryan who submitted demos with the same times as Connor but a tad too late.
EddWardG, Sphere and Ryan 'Chambers' Moore gave us:
From EddWardG, Sphere, Ryan 'Chambers' Moore and Elias 'Elgu' Sollas we got:
Joe quickly identified the issue and released a new build (version 0.17.1, build 6746) which solves the problem. Make sure to get it here.
Should you need any tips on how to do this, please check out these two videos (courtesy of kipi):
Secondly, we have several new demos from Damian, Joshua, Angruo and Petar P.
I want you all to pay attention to Petar's demo; the first (unless I'm mistaken) run through e1m1 in 0:20 seconds without using the explobox.
Crazy!
Last but not least, here is another video by kipi. He has combined all demos in the 400m contest into one video. Well worth a look.

I'm not overly familiar with Arcane Dimension, so if there's something fishy going on with any of the maps (like if you can't get 100% kills and such), just let me/us know and we'll take it from there.

Here's some highlights from the new version. All the changes can be viewed here.

Thrice the haunted halls
This time it's not a new player but instead Thomas Stubgaard who has improved no less than three of his four single player records on e3m7.
Let's have a look and try to visualise the hundreds of hours this man has put into this truly haunted map:
I've asked him to provide a few words for each of the demos:
Right after you jump off from the lift and land on the bridge, you need to hit a trigger for the door to open.
It's not hard hitting the trigger in itself, but right after hitting the trigger you need to stay all the way to the left on the bridge, so the 2nd Ogre will start moving in that direction.
The Ogre can't move too far or you won't be able to squeeze past it when you stun it. It's really a case of 1 or 2 pixels seperating failure from success.
It's possible to stun the Ogre so it falls
on its butt on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th shot. I don't know why it won't get stunned on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th shot, but in the hundreds of hours I've been playing this map in the past it has never occured.
Some weird shit in the code probably. Ideally you want to stun it on the 3rd shot as that's when the Ogre is in the perfect position. Getting the 1st stun will just make it fall back in an unwanted direction.
"But what about the Easy 100% I can already hear you asking?", well, to improve the Easy 100% you can't really get a single shot wrong, and the monsters have to cooperate close to perfectly (lots of infightning and no Zombies knocked down). With the Nightmare 100% there's room for small errors here and there, but yeah, first you have to survive the onslaught :-)
What's new in this demo compared to the previous one is the end room in which I make the Vore and one of the Ogres infight. It saves a lot of precious shots I can use to make other sections of the run go faster. It's super tight on ammo as it is!

A New Year Begins
UPDATE: Oops, I forgot to mention Sphere's Easy 100% of r2m8 in 0:22 (video link), which is 5 seconds faster than Robert Axelsson.

Surprise!
Most of you who frequent this website knows about the 100m map that was used as a contest in 2001. It's since been used as a way for Quake speedrunners to measure themselves against eachother as the ultimate bunnyhopping test. The winning time back in 2001 was 10.68 seconds, and by comparison the current record is 9.63 which is a strong testiment to how much Quake speedrunning have advanced over a span of 20 years. Fun fact: Usain Bolt's real life 100m record is 9.58 seconds, so we're inching closer to that.
This time we're taking it a step further with a 400m run! The current real life world record is held by Wayde van Niekerk and clocks in at 43.03 seconds. It'll be fun to see if anyone can get close - or even surpass - that time. You can also run the map in coop mode for those feeling adventurous.
Full details of the contest are to be found right here. Make sure you're using the latest JoeQuake build as the map won't run otherwise. The contest will run for nearly 1½ month, so you've got plenty of time to hone those bunnyhopping skills.
UPDATE: If you're having FPS issues when running the map, use this "stripped down" version instead. It won't look as pretty, but it'll run smoother.
Demos being run on both maps will be accepted.
READY, SET, GO!

110m Hurdles
For those of you who've been around since the internet was wee old might remember we had a contest on this map. It dates back to November 4th, 2001. It's no big surprise that Peter Horvath ended up winning the contest. He did so in a winning time of 12.59 seconds. For the contest we also ran the map on different difficulties which yielded very different results. If you want to check out some of the old contest demos you can do so right here. All the demos can be downloaded on the bottom of the page.
NOTE: The map is being restricted to the "Easy Run" for the Bunny Comparison page though.
So, who can beat Peter's time?

Madness Strikes At Midnight
As of now, we're at 793 demos YTD, still at a 7th place. To grab the 6th place, we need another 92 demos in just under a month.
Are we gonna make it?
Regardless, this has been the best Quake year demo-wise since 2004 and if including the AWESOME Quake done 100% Quickest lite movie I'd rank it even higher.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to play at all for the last couple of months but luckily a few other players are going at it! Let's see what they've been up to since the last update.
First up we have our very own Ryan 'Chambers' Moore who graced us with yet another ID record. He improved the Easy Run of e2m10 getting 1:27 (video link), 2 seconds faster than Tom Nguyen. This was Tom's last and only ID record.
Up next is Gustav 'brainfluid' L. with two very nice demos:
The third hero in this update is Justin 'optic' Fleck, who focused on running skill 3 (with one exception):
We also had three coop demos submitted:
Oh, there are a few more demos in store but they have to wait until the next update.

Total ownage!
The first time this was done was back in January when Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson got the chance to comment on his awesome e1m1 demos.
This time it's Ryan 'Chambers' Moore's turn to shine; the bunny god just improved the 100% records on e1m2 and now holds the total ownage of the level. Oh my stars and garters, he's good!
Without further delay, over to the man himself:
This run is very straight-forward, with just pure movement. One thing to note though, is the knight at the very end. Like many enemies in Quake, his patrolling pattern is somewhat offset; occasionally causing him to spot you as you pass the corner, making it much more difficult to maneuver around him.
Big thanks to deniu for pushing me to get the 0:28 and for putting up with my overexcitement. :)
For the run, I pretty much just optimized Arturo's 0:48 with inspiration from Conny's segment in Qd100Qstlite. Thanks Conny.
Elgu and I briefly discussed our runs and had both achieved low 30s with saves, but couldn't find where else to save that little bit of time.
Most runs ended to either the knights at the bridge button, or the silver key door; since you need to knock down the Ogre to be able to squeeze by quickly.
Initally, this was a 1:02 (video link). But after having barely missed out on a 1:01, I decided to go back and try again. I wasn't too familiar with the route at first, putting more time into it helped me to discover some new strats and overall, become much better.
Everything lined up as well I could of hoped. Unfortunately, Due to some bad luck; I botched the ending. Missing out on yet another second. This is something I would like to revisit again in the future.
Worth knowing is that there are two more ID levels where one player holds the total ownage: e1m7 by Markus Taipale and e3m7 by Thomas Stubgaard. I don't think Taipale will improve his runs but in case Stubby does his, I'll make sure he gets his very own update like this!

Runner's delight
Before continuing with the new demos I must give a huge shout-out to Carl Tholin who managed to hold the total ownage of all individual RDE maps as well as all four marathon categories for a total of 16 years. That's crazy!
With that said, the reign of Carl Tholin has come to an end. At least a part of it. Let's take a look at what we, the usurpers, have done.
We also tried our luck with the unrestricted bunny categories on some of the maps:

Back To Updating Duties
Anyways, let's dig right into two amazing id demos by Ryan 'Chambers' Moore. And when I say amazing, I mean truly AMAZING!

Tuesday, August 25th 2020 by Jonny Andersson
https://bfy.tw/OsJf
We're still in 11th place overall with a total of 588 demos this year. To snatch the 10th place, we need an additional 35 demos.
Let's not walk as the cat around hot porridge and get going: ID records first.
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson utilized the new found trigger bypass FPS trick (as described in the Guide) on e3m2 to do the Nightmare Run in the optimised time of 0:15 (video link).
Conny also improved the Easy Run of end_pre and got the also optimised time of 0:08 (video link), 1 second faster than Mathias Thore.
Up next we have a new record from Connor Fitzgerald. Well, the record isn't exactly new since it was recorded and submitted almost 16 years ago. Back in '04, Connor did the Easy 100% record on miffo in 0:09 (video link). When looking at the demo the other day I noticed that he did in fact exit on 0:09, but he was playing on the Nightmare skill and not Easy as the text file says.
I guess that since Connor turned 18 the year before, he must have sipped a bit too much on the Bundaberg Rum while recording and/or writing the text file. Regardless, the demo is awesome and beats the existing record held by Rutger Baks by 2 seconds. This also means that the Easy 100% record now is held by Martin Selinus at 0:11.
Before we bring out the big guns I made a single demo for this update; the Easy run of tchak in 0:41 (video link), 5 seconds faster than Sphere.
Big Gun numero uno, the FGM-148 Javelin from Sweden's west coast, Mattias Öman did the following demos:
Big gun numero dos, the Minnesotian Schwerer Gustav, Justin 'optic' Fleck went nuts:
About a month ago, a small battle occured where Mattias did the Nightmare 100% of tyrcoag. Justin wouldn't have it and beat it by 38 seconds and got 3:55 (video link). Total ownage must be defended, so Mattias improved it further and got 3:38 (video link).
The next battlefield is gatordiv. Mattias had the Runs (lol) while Justin had the 100%'s. Since then, the area has switched side several times:
With all of these demos, Justin has amassed a total of 1438 demos. 1-4-3-8 demos! Holy shit!
Oh, one more thing. Michael 'goomba' Eskelinen has submitted some really nice bunny comparison demos on 100m, e1m6 and e4m5.

Updated guide + rules
Our hope is that this guide will make it as easy as possible for people that are interested in starting to play as well as to contain all the necessary information and answer as many questions as possible. Hopefully it can be useful for both beginners and more experienced players.
With that said, there is one type of trick that we need to shed extra light on after recent discussions;
FPS tricks
Recently, it has become clear that by lowering your FPS you can perform more tricks than those that have previously been known.
In some cases, this has led to discussions about whether it should be approved or not. The opinions of this differs within the community, to say the least.
This is a complicated situation as no decision will satisfy everyone. The two of us have therefore discussed it between us and based on the comments we have read and what we ourselves think we have come to the conclusion that we need to find a middle ground.
What thus applies to FPS tricks is the following:
We are well aware that this decision will not satisfy everyone involved but it is the best we could come up with.
Regarding the bottom point, we believe that it is at the limit of what should be allowed, but since we already allow other FPS tricks, we also deem it wrong to ban it. Hence the middle ground.
We really hope that this way satisfies as many people as possible.

Guess who's back, back again
Please note that these maps are NOT to be included in any marathon.
Since there already are valid records on both maps I say: May the odds be ever in your favor.
Including today's demos, the total for 2020 is now 525 demos. That's the 11th place overall my boys and girls.
As usual, we'll start with the new ID records:
Elias 'Elgu' Solla improved his already amazing Easy 100% of episode 1 by 8 seconds and exited The House of Chton at 6:38 (video link).
I'm so impressed that one can keep that level of playing for so many levels.
Thomas 'tuborg' Stubgaard played the Easy 100% on e2m10 and improved Basil's previous record by 65 seconds and got 4:45 (video link).
The day after he lowered it to 4:34 (video link). Well done my Danish comrade.
I hope all of you have seen Quake done 100% Quickest lite? If not DO IT! In this grandiose show of force, Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson smashes his previous Easy 100% of e3m1 and lowers the time by 2 seconds to 0:59 (video link).
You know the optimised 0:18 Easy Run of e4m1 by Peter Horvath from 1998? Well, Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson came up with a new FPS trick (described here by the man himself) and improved it by 1 second to 0:17 (video link). Needless to say, this goes on the unbeatable list.
Let's continue with the other demos.
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson didn't stop at the ID maps, he also broke another "unbeatable" record and repeated it on Nightmare. These records will of course also end up on the unbeatable list.
Michael 'goomba' Eskelinen improved the Nightmare Run of zer1m5 and got 1:57 (video link), 10 seconds faster than Justin Fleck.
There are so many places he manages to avoid getting stuck that I lost count. Good job!
I submitted the following three demos:
Mattias Öman kept busy and sent in eight demos:
... And now to the man whose demos we've been waiting for, Mr. Justin 'optic' Fleck. He truly is a machine with 54 (!!!) demos submitted since the last update.
Justin's total number of submitted demos throughout the years are now up to 1393 (of which 1186 is single player). I can't even grasp it. Only 107 demos left to the magic 1500.
"You can do it!"

Quake done 100% Quickest lite
It's finally here! After two years of sweat, blood (not literally), tears, joy, frustration, and everything in between, the newest installment in the Quake done Quick series is unleashed to the masses.
It clocks in at 29 minutes and 20 seconds, which is a whopping 4 minutes and 13 seconds faster than the Quake done 100% Quick lite 2 run from 2006. And to think that we thought the old run was close to being optimized! Ignorance is bliss I guess.
Quake done 100% Quickest lite is Quake speedrunning at its absolute finest. It just doesn't get any better than this. The planning and the execution is second to none. Some of these demos are already legendary in their own right. Personally I'm hardpressed to pick a favorite demo since they're all so frickin' good!
I've been fortunate enough to have witnessed first hand the progress through this run since the early stages, and I literally had my jaw drop to the floor on several occasions. These guys delivered on such a high level that an old fart like me can't help but be a little proud of how far Quake speedrunning have come. And when I say "these guys", I'm referring to the newest Quake done Quick team of course, consisting of:
When you're done watching I'd suggest you stop by the Discord channel and tell the guys how much you loved the run.

Correction: 36 is the magic number
I won't bore you with statistics (did you know the oldest demo on SDA - Nightmare 100% on e1m1 in 1:52 - turns 24 years in less than a month?) this time so let's check out the demos.
Nowadays, it is almost uncommon to do an update without any ID records and boy, do I love being spoiled like this:
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson smashed three demos, one of which was on the unbeatable list:
A few days before Conny beat the Easy Run of e4m2, Ryan 'Chambers' Moore improved Robert Maglic's Nightmare Run by 2 seconds and got 0:27 (video link). This was Robert's last ID record. Make sure to read the both demos' text files. Ryan, you deserve all the praise!
As if that wasn't enough, Elias 'Elgu' Solla improved his Nightmare Run of episode 4 by 7 seconds and got 3:10 (video link). I find this so impressive since it's only 20 seconds slower than the Easy Run.
Next up we have the remaining demos for the custom maps and episodes. I'll present them alphabetically by player name.
Connor Fitzgerald has been working on his power bunnies and showed it off in these three demos:
Damian 'Ankh' Kulot submitted his first demo since November last year:
Besides the record above, Elias 'Elgu' Solla dug through his archive and found a two demos he had not submitted before as well as two new ones:
The hungarian thunder Jozsef Szalontai did one really cool demo for this update:
Up next is Justin 'optic' Fleck who had complete focus on the Rogue levels submitting no less than 19 (!) demos on them:
The last entry in this update is none other than Sphere with three major improvements:
I won't be able to do any new update in a while due to holiday plans (within Sweden, I promise). It might be until the second half of July but it all depends on weather and how many demos are submitted. Until then, stay safe and let's hope for a lot of rainy days - speed running is a great way to pass the time!
Btw, I can't even begin to tell you how hyped I am for Quake done 100% Quickest lite. Only a few days left...

"ID do anything for love"
Since the last update, we have received no less than eight (8) new, fresh and awesome id records! WHAT.IS.HAPPENING?!
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore took on one of my all time favorite demos, Peter Horvath's Easy 100% on e1m4. The previous record had just turned 20 years old but it was still pretty much flawless in its execution. Regardless of this, he managed to shave off three entire seconds and exited at 1:01 (video link). Looks like I might have a new favorite record...
Elias 'Elgu' Solla managed to improve Tony Hänninen's recently submitted episode 2 Nightmare Run by a staggering 12 seconds and got 4:20 (video link). It goes without saying that this is very impressive, especially the gold key jump on e2m2. Congratulations!
Jozsef Szalontai has had his eye on Peter Horvath's Nightmare Run on e2m2 for quite some time and even streamed some of his attempts. If I'm not mistaken, I read that Joe said that he would be happy with 0:32. But Joe being Joe, he got a fabulous 0:31 (video link). It's hard enough to get past the knights and the fiend in the beginning and then two ogre grenade jumps on top of that? That's hardcore.
The mathematicians among us can figure out that we have five records left to go through. They were all submitted by none other than Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson. The speed at which he delivers high-quality records is incredible. Is he even human? The records he has in store for us are:
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Sphere for helping out with video capturing and YouTube uploading. It's a very time-consuming task that's made easier with his help!
As always, here's the Discord channel.

Sanity Soiled
I think our good friend Colin was right, at least in regards to speed running (he might have been a tad wrong about the invasion of Iraq though).
I'm 100% sure that there have been A LOT of preparation, hard work and (hopefully) some learning when recording all the demos for this update.
So, what do we have to offer? When we close the books for May, we can see that the demo budget has been exceeded BIG TIME.
Since the last update, 70 demos have been submitted. The total for May was thus 140 demos. With seven months to go, 2020 is now in 13th place overall.
This calls for a celebration! Here, have a Swedish "vacuum cleaner":
Enough with the fun, let's take a look at the demos.
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore, the man without any old runs has not been lazy:
Next up we have our own immigrated Berliener Weisse Connor Fitzgerald with two awesome demos:
We also have a demo each from The Three Stooges:
What's next? You guessed it! Justin 'optic' Fleck - the gift that keeps on giving - has submitted an exceptional amount of demos for this update.
41 to be exact. With a total running time of over 208 minutes, improving the previous records by a staggering 13.6 minutes.
Mattias Öman had no intention of not leaving his mark on an update and therefore submitted these two demos:
Last and least of the single players, I did a few demos:
Time for some coop! We have 16 demos up for screening:
Mattias Öman and Myself did the:
Petar 'praskOo' P., Sphere and myself did two demos on cult:
And now the last three records for this update:
There are still a few things that need to be recognised:

Quake done 100% Quickest lite (Teaser)
It will all go down June 22nd 2020, but in the meantime you can wet your pants with this stylish teaser video.
Fun fact: June 22nd is the 24th birthday of Quake.

One For The Ages
As of this update, 283 demos have been submitted since January 1st placing 2020 at 14th place since 1996. However, it's only a few demos until it takes 13th place. And it's only May!
Moving on to the demos.
First of all we have two ID records:
Tony also improved his Nightmare Run of dmc3m4 by 3 seconds and got 0:18 (video link).
Justin 'optic' Fleck graced us with 26 demos. There is no stopping the mean, green, killing machine!
Next up we have Mattias Öman with 12 demos:
I had the audacity of doing a few demos as well:
I then did all four records on warehaus:
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson submitted 3 demos for this update:
Rounding off the part with single player records, we have:
Had the update ended here it would have been awesome. However, we still have the coop demos to go through:
Myself and Mattias Öman did the:
Sphere and myself did the Easy 100% of dmc2m2 in 0:29 (video link), table filler; 8 seconds faster than the single player.
Petar 'praskOo' P. and Sphere did the:
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson, myself, Paul 'lagdotcom' Davies, Petar 'praskOo' P. and Sphere did the:
Oh, almost forgot - the Bunny Comparison page has been updated. Not only is the 100m runs now in order (I hope), but we also have new runner ups on said map as well as on e2m1. Head on over to see who it is.

Qroute
Qroute is a program that visualises Quake demos from a top-down perspective. You can load all the demos of one coop run to combine their views and see what's going on all over the map. It's in an early state and being actively developed, so comments and feature requests are welcome.
You can find Paul on Discord.

You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'
Let's kick this update off with mentioning that we've decided to create a long way section on dmc3m7. Click the link and read the instructions. Both Easy and Nightmare Run is allowed.
What's next? The amazing demo sent in by Sphere where he improves the Easy 100% record of e2m5 in 1:02 (video link), 2 seconds faster than Petar P.
Before we move on to all the demos that have been submitted on the DMC3 maps we have some custom maps to go through:
Sphere didn't stop at the ID levels for this update. He also did a Nightmare Run marathon through digs01 in 2:52 (video link), 89 seconds faster than Michael Eskelinen.
Sphere also teamed up with Petar 'praskOo' P. to do the first coop demo since July 20; the 2-player Easy Run of dmc3m5 in 0:06 (video link).
Gustav 'brainfluid' L. overtook the Easy Run of evspq1 from Mattias Öman by 3 seconds and got 1:02 (video link).
I played some rit2 and did the Easy Run in 0:34 (video link) and the Nightmare Run in the same time (video link), both 1 second faster than Anders Nordensten.
Onward to the madness that is Justin 'optic' Fleck:
How about the DMC3 maps? Were any demos submitted? Hell yes! Let's show them off, map by map:
dmc3m8 (due to the fact that you have to kill all enemies to exit the map, we have decided to only accept 100% demos)
So, what about the statistics promised above? First I should mention that I love this kind of stuff and spend far too much time searching for it. Please bear with me.

Deathmatch Classics Vol. 3
Grab the pack right here. Name the demos d3m1, d3m2, d3m3, and so forth.
Note: The dmc3m6 map is the exact same as the ritualsp map which is already on SDA. I took the liberty to rename all the ritual demos to corrospond with the new pack, so for future demos on the ritual map make sure you name them d3m6.
Edit: Turns out the dmc3m5 map was also on SDA already under a different name (q1shw1sp). I've moved all the q1shw1sp demos to the dmc3m5 page.

It's that time again...
FYI: In some videos you don't see the full clock. This is because they have been captured in window mode in JoeQuake, otherwise I'm not able to use the computer while capturing.
First out we have a new player, Petter 'lament_' Langseth, who submitted 3 demos:
What would an update be without several demos from said Justin 'optic' Fleck? Hopefully we will not have to find out. For this update he sent in 18 demos:
The remaining demos were submitted by myself:

Here's Jonny!
Stubgaard warned me in advance that the system was old school and that it was a "VERY tedious work to do an update". He didn't lie!
I would therefore like to give Stubgaard a big THANK YOU for the updates and all the time he has put in over the years.There are also some other people who deserve a shout-out:
With that said, let's move on to the demos! In this update we have no less than 38 records from three players.
First out we have my brother Mattias Öman:
Next one to the shave (as the Swedish expression goes) is Michael 'goomba' Eskelinen with two really nice demos:
Up next, we have the man, the myth, the legend Justin 'optic' Fleck. He has submitted no less than 31 demos(!!!). Great job!
To begin with, he submitted the following demos on custom episode 5:
He then moved on to custom episode dmc2:
Last but not least, he also submitted a few demos on custom levels:
Should there be any questions or concerns, please give me a shout on Discord.

It Takes Two To Tango
The name is Jonny Andersson aka Pretty-Balls, or PB for short. He burst onto the Quake speedrunning scene way back in the tender year of 2000. His first demo dates back to August 15th 2000 and it's the 4-player Easy 100% of e2m2 in 0:44. His most recent one is of course the Nightmare 100% of e2m1 in 1:21 (video link) from just a few days ago. He's currently placed 9th on the tables with 127 records to his name, and a total of 343 demos. He used to be part of the much feared "The Udders" gang. The Udders were a bunch of young speedrunners from Uddevalla in Sweden, hence the name The Udders. They produced an amazing amount of coop demos before they all drifted off into different directions. Some quick statistics reveal that a total of 20 people from Uddevalla has sent in 1554 demos over the years. That equals to 13,76% of all demos submitted to SDA. Yikes!
So, without further ado, let's welcome Jonny to the team.

The Show Must Go On
Remember when I wrote about Mattias's first ever ID demo in the update from a week ago? Well, it turns out Mattias' brother Jonny wouldn't let him take all the glory, so he dished out his first ID single player record as well, beating a demo from me in the process:

Fun ID Statistics
Today I had some time to kill when the offspring was asleep, so I summarised some information about ID records. Since I found it interesting, perhaps someone else does as well.
There are a total of 152 available ID records (counting Easy Run, Nightmare Run, Easy 100%, and Nightmare 100% on all levels, Episodes and Full Game Marathons). There are a total of 26 unique persons with at least one ID record. The holder of most ID records regardless of type is Conny Wernersson with an impressive 34 (22.4% of all)!
Here are some more statistics:
On a more serious note, I hope everyone's safe and sound. It might be a while before I can work on a full demo update, but please keep sending demos.
Friday, 28th February, 2020 by Stubgaard
Boom!
ID demos:
Just a quick note that it recently came to our attention (thanks Conny) that Marlo's Nightmare 100% marathon run of All of Quake is invalid due to him not triggering one of the secrets on e4m5. Weird that no-one has noticed this before. It's been 15 years since Marlo did the demo. But then again, a lengthy run like this is not something you watch every day. That means that Justin Fleck's 69:33 will be reinstated as the current record.
Thursday, 23th January, 2020 by Stubgaard
First proper demo update in 2020
We've also received a handful demos for the Bunny Comparison page:
Version 0.16.2b6320 of JoeQuake is available to download. You can either grab it from Joe's own webpage by clicking this link, or you can grab it from the SDA servers right here.
And finally just a friendly reminder to join evergrowing Discord channel. Quite a few from the old guard have joined already. The likes of Connor Fitzgerald, mwh, Richard 'Morfans' Skidmore, Jozsef Szalontai, Justin Fleck, Gerald Tan, Jonny Andersson, Mattias Öman, Damian 'Ankh' Kulot, Tim Doherty, Daniel 'MaxRebo' Magnusson, Thomas 'lodis' Bergendorff, etc. All the "new" runners are in there too of course :-) Come say hello!

The Slipgate Complex (continued)
Here's some words of wisdom from the man himself to keep you entertained:
Teaser: This demo is also the first demo of the upcoming segmented Easy 100% of Quake, 'Quake done 100% Quickest lite', which will destroy 'Quake done 100% Quick lite 2' from back in 2006.

The Slipgate Complex - World Record Breakdown
Recently, a very entertaining video was unleashed onto the internet that took the viewers by storm. It's a world record breakdown of the Easy Run on e1m1, brilliantly narrated by Karl Jobst, maybe not a name familiar to those in the Quake speedrunning scene, but a speedrunning legend in his own right, holding world records in games like Goldeneye. I suggest you check out his Doom speedrunning videos (such as this one), they're very entertaining. Here's a link to his YouTube channel.
I figured it'd be fun doing a slighy different take on all the current e1m1 single player records, i.e. those held on the Easy Run, The Easy 100%, The Nightmare Run, and the Nightmare 100%. They're all very impressive in their own right, but the Easy Run is probably one of the best speedruns ever seen in Quake, and it's crazy to think that speedrunners are STILL speedrunning this game 23 years after its incarnation and only getting better at it.
Fun facts:
- Here's one from Anthony Bailey (the guy responsible for writing QdQstats and helping with many of the first Quake done Quick movies)
I feel in my bones that 0:30 is possible, just because there are one or two tiny delays in the 0:31 that I saw. But maybe they weren't one second's worth.

Both of them have the following content:
The "large" version contains the following "bonus" stuff:
There's even three brand new ID demos included in the two downloads above. I had a bit of (frustrating) fun beating some of my old records:
That's all for today folks. Hopefully everyone will get well into the new year and feel rejuvenated to do more Quake demos.

Here we go again
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore improved Jozsef's Easy 100% on e1m5 by two seconds to get 0:44 (video link). Ryan almost botched the ending, but luckily he prevailed. Needles to say this is a MUST WATCH!
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson has made a welcome return to speedrunning by improving praskOo's Easy Run of episode 4 by one mammoth second to get 2:52. Marathons like these are truly fascinating. The blend of powerbunnies and precision is second to none. Pssst, rumor has it that Conny is working on improving this... This is naturally another MUST WATCH!
Michael 'goomba' Eskelinen produced two top notch demos:
Friday, 15th November, 2019 by Stubgaard
Another big demo update
It's crazy the pace at which the demos keep coming. It's like 2000 all over again (not quite though, but you get the point). It's our most profilic year since 2009 with a current count of 163 demos. Keep it up guys!
Let's start with five demos from Elias 'Elgu' Solla:
Monday, 28th October, 2019 by Stubgaard
The "Other Demos" section
Just a short explanation for the uninitiated of what exactly these somewhat different endeavours in Quake are:
Cheated Runs: Run through the maps with full ammo + all weapons + Godmode. You can do Runs and you can do 100% on both skill 0 and 3. QdQstats for Cheated runs can be found here.
Naked Runs: You have NO weapons, but you do have full ammo. The key here is you need to kill as many monsters as possible. Let's use an example: The current record for the Naked Easy 100% on e1m3 is 9 kills out of 31 in a time of 5:58. If you could somehow get 10 kills out of 31 that would be the new record no matter if your time is slower. Kills are what matters. QdQstats for Naked runs can be found here.
Careful Runs: You start with only 1 health and all health crates have been removed. Only Easy Runs are accepted for this category. QdQstats for Careful runs can be found here.
Coop Runs are accepted for all three categories.
There's also some old assorted tricks and egg demos if you're into that kinda stuff. Feel free to send in demos if you have anything unusual laying around that would be fun to watch.
And then there's the Bunny Comparison of course on which we've received a handful of demos since the last update. I also found a couple of runs on Speedrun.com which I added to the tables.
Crashfort is the new king of 100m with this crazy 09.70. Redc takes 3rd place with 09.92. Michael Eskelinen takes 16th with 10.37, Fodder takes 18th with 10.38, Mattias Öman takes 32nd with 10.82, and PintoBeans takes 55th with 12.11.
Michael Eskelinen takes 17th on e1m1 with 23.40, 21st on e1m6 with 9.99, and 15th on e2m1 with 7.94.
Ryan Moore improves on his 1st place on e4m5 with this 10.80. Redc takes 2nd with 10.89 and Michael Eskelinin takes 14th with 12.13.
Friday, 25th October, 2019 by Stubgaard
Comparing the Bunnies
Petar 'praskOo' P. moves into 2nd place on 100m with this 09.98, just 0.12 shy of Jason's time. Mattias Öman takes 34th place with 0:11.23.
By now we've all seen Conny 'Jukebox' Wernersson's recordbreaking e1m1 in 0:19.96 which moves him ahead of the field into a much deserved 1st place. Petar 'praskOo' P. takes 2nd place WITHOUT using the barrelboost in a time of 0:21.07. Damian ' Ankh' Kulot takes 21st place with 0:24.49 and Mattias takes 26th with 0:24.81.
Ryan 'Chambers' Moore smoked the rest of the competition on e2m1 with this 0:07.23 moving him into 1st spot. So close to that illusive 0:06! Mattias got 34th place with 0:08.35.
Ryan again left everyone else in the dust with this 0:10.91 on e4m5 giving him 1st place. Mattias took 26th spot with 0:13.22.
That's all for now folks.

Attack of the Oldies
Seems like I wasn't the only "oldie" to crawl out of his cave recently... The recent excitement from e1m1 0:19 has brought several runners out of 10+ years of retirement and a new flood of demos awaits:
NOTE: I promised in the last update I would do my best to add video links to all/most of the new runs, but unfortunately that idea has hit a snag. I've been having issues capturing the demos, so until I find a workable solution I'm afraid we'll have to do with demo files for most of the runs. Sorry.
Let's kick this giant update off with some amazing ID and Mission Pack runs courtesy of Petar 'praskOo' P.:

I've fixed some broken links in the menu, and generally cleaned up the page a bit (with help from Radix). Still a lot to fix, I know.

Hi!
The official SDA Quake Speedrunning YouTube channel is up and running again. I'll try my best to have a video available for all new demos posted on SDA unless it's some mammoth marathon run or some other crazy shit. For future updates, it would be totally wicked if you along with your demo could submit a link to a video of that demo. I'll try my best to encode videos for the demos we receive, but if you're capable of doing videos of your own that'd be a HUGE help!
There's a handful more demos in the queue, but I'll save those for the next demo update :-)
Expect a steady flow of updates the next couple of days/weeks.
Monday, 2nd September, 2019 by Radix
Three updates in one year!
Quake is on fire like it's 1999, and one of the demos in this update brings down the oldest record on the tables!

The summer demo rush!
The year 2018 was looking pretty quiet for Quake demos, but all of a sudden I have received several dozen in the last few weeks, though some of them were recorded in 2016 and only submitted this year.
Here are a bunch more demos from Conny Wernersson:
Next up are some more demos from Elias "Elgu" Solla, most of which are coops with friends:
Sunday, 22nd October, 2017 by Radix
The year is almost over, I'd better post some demos...
This update features several impressive records, proving that even levels we had thought "unbeatable" could still be improved.
Tony Hänninen improved the all-of-Quake nightmare marathon run, a category few have ever done, to an impressive time of 15:00. This is 4 minutes 50 seconds faster than demo from 2005.
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson started breaking records in April 2016 but didn't send any in until recently, deciding it was best to hit me with a large amount all at once!

Semi Annual quake update...
Grzegorz 'deniu' Gładowski has joined the continuing celebrations of Quake's 20th year with a few demos:
Friday, 29th July, 2016 by Radix
A belated 20th birthday party for Quake
To celebrate the recent passing of 20 years since Quake's release date, a group going by the name Machine Games released an "episode 5" on Twitter.
Max "coolkid" Lundberg was quick to submit Easy Runs of all nine levels in the episode. Here is the run down:
Tony Hänninen submitted a few demos as well, mostly from the Hipnotic expansion:
Saturday, 26th December, 2015 by Radix
2015 year-end close out
Elias "Elgu" Solla submitted a pretty amazing demo. It's an easy 100% marathon through all of Quake in a time of 40:00. This is 3:52 faster than his time from earlier this year.
Some more demos from Elias:
We've also got a few demos from a new submitter, Maša Obed who sent in:
Finally, Tony Hänninen submitted an easy 100% demo on hip2m3 in a time of 1:34, which is 8 seconds faster than the record from 2000.

I lost a whole month...
First up we have some single player demos.
Monday, 7th September, 2015 by Radix
Well that didn't work, but here's some more
Tony improved his own record for the easy marathon run through all of Quake to 12:42, 7 seconds faster than his time from two updates ago.
Then just a few days later, sent in another improvement, taking the time down to a very impressive 12:26!
In the process of working on that run, Tony also improved the easy run time of episode 4 by two seconds to 3:03.

Maybe if I post a few demos every day or so...
The coop team Elias "Elgu" Solla and HiipFire got a one second improvement to the easy run of e2m2, to end up with a time of 0:29.
Tony Hänninen submitted a new time on the marathon run through episode 2. His new time is 3:31, 5 seconds better than the run a few updates ago.

Ring in the new year with some Quake
Max "coolkid" Lundberg has sent in an improvement of his easy all-of-Quake marathon from last year. The new time is only 13:00, an impressive improvement of 37 seconds.
That is not the only run from Max, oh no. He also sent in runs of:
We also have some demos from Flávio "GinKo" Quadros:

Not Dead Yet!
I am pleased to list four runs from Max "coolkid" Lundberg:
Flávio "GinKo" Quadros sent in several demos as well:
Jaakko Alakopsa sent in one demo, on tdl - The Death Lair. He filled the hole for the Easy 100% with 3:34.
And that's all 12 demos I have in the queue. Not many for an entire year plus of time, but it's better than nothing. It got me out of the woodwork to post this update. Who knows, maybe more demos will appear...

We've had another big pile of demos on the newly released DMC2 episode:

Bulletstyle Bonanza - 00:48
There's been 35 demos since the last update, and a few more that just arrived in inbox. They'll have to wait for the next update though.
Let's kick it off in style with two demos on the original iD maps. These are the first two 'proper' iD demos we've had in quite some time. I did the Nightmare 100% of The Nameless City (e4m8) in 3:46, 17 seconds faster than Jaakko. I also did the Nightmare 100% of The Crypt Of Decay (e2m3) in 1:55, 10 seconds faster than Timo.
On we go to the newly added DMC2 episode:
Thursday, 12th May, 2011 by Stubgaard
Only 7 years late... - 21:43
Also, I've been meaning to add this map for a very long time, though I've been asked not to :-) But things have changed around here at SDA, and we're not as strict with mapping material as we might've been years ago, so I've decided to add the map for all you oldschoolers out there. The map in question is the original e2m6 as it was meant to be. No, I'm not talking about e2m10 (The Lost Entrance) which you can find in the DMC1 pack, but I'm talking about the lesser-known e2m10 in all its glory, i.e. e2m6 and e2m10 (The Lost Entrance) COMBINED into one big map as John Romero initially had invisioned it. The Lost Entrance, as we all know, was cut from e2m6 due to filesize issues. Also, the e2m6 section of the map is slighty different from the e2m6 we all know, but I'll let you discover that for yourself. The map is a total nightmare on nightmare skill (no pun intended), but I'm sure someone (Hi Basil!) can find a clever way to beat the map. On easy skill it should be fairly straight forward.
A demo update will follow shortly.

Who let Basil out - 10:52
It seems that someone let Basil out of a prison and he caused a lot of destruction in various maps of quake, mostly on the newest maps. The first in the series of tablefillers is the Easy Run of digs05. Straight out of the prison cell, he beats the mapper's expections with a high speed 0:46 demo. The next map in the list is ebony1, where he beat the previous record holder Weixing Ye by 4 seconds in the Easy 100% category. Given the pentagram, quad and rocket launcher, he is unstoppable. There is room for another quadded rocket boost but nevertheless, the finishing time is one minute. Surprisingly, the brave Dutchie skips the grenade launcher in the Easy Run of eels. It was probably too far away, who knows. Filling the table takes him 1:50. Pressing the button that opens the exit in fmb6 seems to be too easily reachable for speedrunners. With these interesting shortcuts performed, the Easy Run can be done in 1:07
The man who now goes by the nickname Optimus Joop has taken the Total Ownage of goatrun. Getting low decimals on all demos, so they can't be marked optimized. Who's ready for that? The Easy Run and Nightmare are both made in 10 seconds (tablefillers). Same thing for Easy 100% and Nightmare 100%, both done in 14 seconds, shaving one second off of Thomas Bergendorff's earlier endeavours. Wait... more like 14 minutes. Kills during the intermission don't change the running time, fortunately.
Time for maps with beautiful (and sometimes frustrating) architechture. The first one of them is mappi where an Easy Run was introduced to the masses of quake speedrunning fans. One Chthon less in the world, the map is finished in 0:48, tablefiller. The Nightmare Run is also new to the tables. Two Chthons can kiss their careers goodbye before they even realize what defeats them in 1:06. Mappi2 offers some interesting gameplay in the same style. Basil found his trusty grenade launcher and boosted his way to the end of Easy Run, in 0:38. Once again, a tablefiiler.
The next map in question is an action packed q1shw1sp. Basil takes his second Total Ownage of the update, all tablefillers this time. It has taken years of training to master the art of ogre grenade jumping. As there are no helpful ogres in the start of Easy Run, a longer route is needed. 0:19 is what follows. The Nightmare Run is 5 seconds faster, thanks to different monster leyout. There multiple possible routes in the Easy 100% category. Basil chose one that is quite impressive and the result is a 1:07. The rain of monster gibs continues in the form of Nightmare 100%. The finishing time is twice as long as the easy cleaning of the map.
The last two maps before coops. The mysterious shambler in the end of ritualsp is said to be immortal. The only torture devices used in the Easy Run are regular weapons - super nail gun and grenade launcher. The table is filled with a 1:51, tablefiller. Tdl is an arena for the singing super nail gun flavoured by a spicy quad damage. No mercy for monsters in this Easy Run which is completed in 0:44, tablefiller.
For the love of quake, Basil de Vries and Jaakko Alakopsa made two demos:
The quickest demo in the update is the Nightmare Run of q1shw1sp. No ogre grenades this time, lightning gun is more effective! It takes only 9 seconds to finish the map, tablefiller. The unlucky shambler in ritualsp has no idea what to do when there are two crazy runners loose. The Easy Run is 38 seconds faster than the single player demo: 1:13 (tablefiller).
A lot of enjoyment has been offered to you. Watch all demos, be inspired and make some speedruns yourself.

Assorted tidbits (as promised) - 14:28
There's been a few improvements to some of the Quake done Quick projects. It's been about 3 years since we updated on Quake done 100% Quickest. Jaakko Alakopsa improved upon my e4m6 with a 4 second improvement to get 1:36. As you may have noticed, the project was in limbo mode for quite a few years until Jozsef Szalontai recently picked it up and converted the finished project into a glorious HD quality movie. It can be downloaded in different qualities, and you can find all the nessecary links right here. A .pak version will follow shortly, and it can be found on the Quake done Quick site. I'll post it here too of course. Here's the YouTube version for those who can't be bothered to download the movie.
We also saw an improvement to Quake done Quickest recently. I.e. it was actually an old demo, but Jozsef had never bothered submitting this 1 second improvment of e2m5 until he surpringly from out of nowhere posted a HD quality movie version of this project, which you can find right here. A .pak file version of this project will also follow shortly, and it too can be found on the Quake done Quick site. Here's the YouTube version.
A movie version of Quake done Quickest lite is also in the works along with a .pak file version to boot. You'll read about it here first when it's released! :-)
Remember to stop by the official YouTube Quake Speedrunning channel, the official Facebook Quake Speedrunning group, the official SDA Steam group, and the official SDA Facebook group.
Also, you might want to watch this which I stumbled over last night. It's a pretty decent historic view of iD Software, and Part 1. and Part 2. are already up, while the rest of the parts have yet to follow (and they're probably the most interesting since they'll center around the Doom/Quake era). UPDATE: Part 3. can be found here, and Part 4. here.
