We will begin with the Hungarian Bunny Machine, Jozsef Szalontai, who has taken both of the Long Way Runs on Hell's Atrium.

• First he improved Sebastian's Easy Run by one second. 0:55.
• Then the next day he beat that by another second to get 0:54.
• And finally he destroyed Martin's Nightmare Run by three seconds with a phenomenal fiend boost followed by some of the worst Quad SNG shooting I have ever seen. :-) 0:58.

Amrik Kochhar has been pedalling his bike like a demon for the last few days and has managed to take two Hipnotic records from our ol' pal Optic.

• He did a very slick run around hip3m2, managing a 5 second improvment to the Easy 100% to get 1:50.
• And he improved the Nightmare Run of hip2m1 by one second by bouncing a couple of grenades near the shambler at the end. Of course, if he could actually *hit* the shambler this could be even quicker. 0:31.

Speaking of Optic reminds me: What do you call a man with a 2 inch penis trying to have sex?

*drum roll*

Just-in!

I would like to make it quite clear that the "joke" above was only prompted by Mr Fleck's christian name, it was in no way suppossed to imply that he has a small cock. In fact I've been told by an undisclosed source known only as "S" that when he gets it up it looks like a two year old child's arm holding a big, red apple.

It's always nice to see new people submitting demos, and this week Anders Nordensten has lost his SDA virginity with two impressive demos.

• For his first ever improvement he has done the Easy Run of mntbase2 one second faster than DanielM. 0:53.
• And then, flushed with success, he decided to improve Daniel's Nightmare run, this time by a big 4 seconds. 1:03.

Keep up the good work, Anders, and soon you'll be submitting demos as good as these three from someone who's testicular beauty has been the talk of the Message Board recently. Jonny Andersson has been following Stubby's advice on developing a smoother wrist motion with a hectic training schedule of one-handed web surfing.

• He utilised a loooong bunny/slope jump at the start of polygon2 to grab the silver key and improve Martin's Long Way Easy Run by 11 seconds to give him 0:34.
• And he used the same trick to take one second off of Carl's Long Way Nightmare Run. I wouldn't be suprised if Carl gave him a kick right in his pretty balls for that one. 0:21.
• And finally he improved Evan's Easy Run of czg07c by one second to get 0:31. He say's that the idea for the improvement came from someone called Hansson. ;-)

The big download file is, as always, available from here (UK) and here (Denmark). This one contains a bonus egg demo from Stubby proving that although ogres are stupid, they have amazing powers of balance, even after they're dead.

Enjoy the demos. See you next time.

Two more ID records have been broken this week.

• Martin "Tarzan" Selinus has swung into the The Crypt of Decay and improved Timo's Easy 100% by 4 seconds. There are one or two minor mistakes so it can still be improved but overall a very fast piece of work. 1:13.
• Take a really long, boring map (say, Hell's Atrium), crank it up to Nightmare skill, then do a Nightmare 100% that contains probably the biggest mistake in the ID tables but is still 7 seconds faster than the current record. It can only be Thomas "Slope Jump" Stubgaard. He has also included two egg demos. One of a very annoying spawn bug and the other of some very funny Death Knight behaviour. (I've also tried this with vores and zombies. A big group of zombies looks hilarious doing this). 2:30.

One of our friends from Russia, Dan Stukanev, seems to be on a mission to capture all of Optics old records. He has now turned his attention to the Hipnotic tables and the Easy Run of hip3m4. He improved it by the usual one second to give him 1:07.

Tim Doherty has definitely put his bike crash and battle with the flu behind him as he completes his second Nightmare 100% Marathon in a week. This time he has filled the hole in the Beyond Belief table with this cautious, but impressive (it's a NH Marathon FFS!), 31:09.

And now, a little story...

Amrik Kochhar walks into a store to do his weekly grocery shopping. He goes around collecting all his stuff and then goes to pay.
The lady at the cash register goes through the items: One pint of milk; small loaf of bread; 4 x six pack of beer; 6 individual microwave meals; 1 porno mag.
She looks up at him, looks at what he's bought, looks back at him and says, "Tell me, Amrik. You're single, aren't you?"
"How did you know that?" He asked. "Is it because I did the Easy Run of hip3m2 in 0:28, three seconds faster than Ilkka?"
"No." She replied.
"Then is it because I improved my Easy 100% of czg_moon by 35 seconds to get 2:35?"
"No." She replied.
"Well, is it because I took three seconds off of Justin's Easy 100% of earth for a 1:36?"
"No." She replied.
"I'll bet it's because Martin has totally owned my bbelief3 records? Doing the Easy Run one second faster than I did to get 0:47 and the Nightmare Run 2 seconds faster to give him 0:53?"
"No." She replied.
"Then how did you know?"
"Well..." she said,

*drumroll*

"...it's because you're fucking ugly!"

The usual big .dz mirrors are in place here (UK) and here (Denmark) so go grab the bastard and start watching.

Finally, don't forget to check out the profiles every now and then. In the last few days we've had new and revised profiles for Johan, Carl, Ingmar, Stubby and me. That's all for this time, stay tuned for more demos and jokes at Amrik's expense. :-)

Except for Ken, of course. ;-)

Which brings us rather neatly to the latest demos. Amrik Kochhar, The Trinidad Tornado, has taken both of the 100% records on dma1 from Arturo.

• First he improved the nightmare 100% by 2 seconds to get 0:22.
• But he couldn't quite match that on Easy skill, only manageing a one second improvement. 0:23.

The next demo comes from the Russian Deathknight himself, Valeriy Burmistrov. He has improved Ilkka's ancient bbelief2 Nightmare Run by one second to give him 0:15. Rumour has it that Jozsef has also done the Easy Run in the same time but you're just going to have to wait for SBBlite2 to see it.

Jonny Andersson, The Uddevalla Whirlwind, has taken another second off of his chessp1 Easy 100% to give him 1:01. Personally, I think he could get under a minute if he was to grenade the zombies in a different way....

Tim Doherty, The Kiwi Cyclone, has filled yet another gap in the Rogue Marathon tables. This time he has totally abandoned his sanity and done the Nightmare 100% through the entire mission pack in the (probably not optimum) time of 78:19. Because of the bizarre reproductive behaviour of the Hell Spawns he has only 1333 kills, 4 less than the combined total for Nolan's NR1 and NR2 demos. For all you students of advanced mathematics out there that would make his total kills 1337. You just know he did it on purpose...

Our first coop for a few weeks comes to us courtesy of the Brothers Stubgaard Full Contact Tag Team. Thomas and Mads-Peter have improved Nolan and Evan's e4m5 NIghtmare 100% by 8 seconds to give them 1:57.

And no update these days would be complete without an ID improvement. This time Timo Nieminen, The Finnish Hurricane, has taken the Easy Run of e2m7 from Robert by one second to give him 0:32. He even suggests a way to improve it but it would take a brave man to try it...

The big download is available as usual from here (UK) and here (Denmark) without Tim's 4 Meg marathon, of here with it.
Please remember that these combined files are only available for a short time after each update so don't come maoning to us that you've tried to download one from several weeks ago and it isn't there anymore because, paradoxically, even though you're right, you'll still be a c^%t.

Enjoy!

"Friends, Romans, Countrymen: lend me a horse. For I come here not to bury Ceasar but to frag his biatch arse with some wintery discontent." (Henry XXVII, Act 37, Scene 3)

Food for thought indeed, but I think you'll agree that this site captures the essence of these words once you've seen the latest set of demos.
We have 3 ID records, 2 of which are going straight on to the Unbeatable Runs Table, and 5 other runs of such high quality that you'll think you've died and gone to the afterlife paradise of your choice.

To kick things off, we have three demos on darkages. In the last update Dan Stukanev took the Nightmare Run record, now the other three have also fallen.

• Stuker turned his attention to the Easy Run and took one second off of Daniel's record to get 0:28.
• Amrik Kochhar has taken both of the 100% records. First, the Easy from Optic by one second. 1:07.
• And then the Nightmare, also from Optic, also by one second. 1:09.

Ilkka Kurkela is definitely back. He has reclaimed his Easy Run of hip1m5 from Martin by 4 seconds to get 1:31. This run doesn't contain any spectacular, almost impossible tricks or massive damage boosts, just 101 small monster avoiding and corner cutting tricks (watch out for monster slides over Centroids). Beautiful.

Jozsef Szalontai makes it all look so simple. He has taken 6 seconds off of Justin's seemingly solid Easy Run of earth without even looking like he's trying. 0:53.

Looking back over the last month I am amazed at the number of ID improvements we have seen. And from the rumours I hear it isn't going to stop any time soon.

• Jozsef has gone fiend boosting, bunny hopping, grenade jumping, fish killing mad in The Palace Of Hate. He did the Nightmare Run in 0:21, one second faster than Markus.
• And the Easy Run in the seemingly optimum time of 0:19, again one second faster than the recently resurrected Mr Taipale.
• Markus Taipale has wasted no time in improving the 0:27 of e1m7 he did for the last update. If this isn't optimum I'll eat my keyboard. 0:26.

Once again, a single download of all eight demos is available from here (UK) and here (Denmark). Nolan has been making some heroic efforts in fixing the download servers but from the reaction on the message board I think we will keep on doing this in the future anyway. (Damn! Useful feedback from the message board already! And I thought it was all just chicken choking and insults. :-))

The goal of this contest is to run through E4M7 (Azure Agony) and get all 9 secrets and exit as fast as possible. Check the Run of the Whenever page for more info and make sure you download the provided progs.

This contest will last for a week (I hope I didn't calculate wrong this time). Deadline is Monday, October 15th, 17:00 EST, 22:00 GMT, 23:00 CET, 2001.

Happy running...

As if one prodigal son returning to the fold wasn't enough, we have received a demo from the most prolific man in Speed Running history. Apparently he's been locked in a brothel for the last few months, which explains why his hand's a little shakey, but he's back to reclaim his Easy Run of zer1m4 from David Hocking by one second to get 1:26. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Mr Justin "Optic" Fleck!

Our final Comeback King of the night is bunny pioneer, trained killer and all-round nice guy Ilkka Kurkela. (I know he did the cool e4m8 Easy Run a while ago but that was at SpeedCon and doesn't count :-))
He has taken back his Easy 100% of elektra from Carl by 6 seconds to give him 0:55.

I need a drink after that. BRB.

*burp* That's better. Our next demo is yet another ID Nightmare 100% improvement from Thomas Stubgaard. This time he improved his e4m7 record by 10 seconds, just by faster running and frighteningly smooth shotgun work, to get 3:38. Also included in here is a brilliant egg of the two stupidest fish to ever ride a boomstick. Must Download.

Dan Stukanev's runs just keep getting more impressive. This time he has improved Optic's Nightmare Run of darkages by one second to 0:30.

Eh? What's that you say? No link to Optic's demo? Well that's because I mailed David yesterday to point out that he didn't record his demo using the ZerStats patch, he replied this morning with this 1:26 several hours before Optic's arrived. That's rather Countered your Strike back into the heart of SDA, hasn't it, hookah toker? ;-)
But I sincerely hope this doesn't slow him down because he only has another 59 demos to go until he reaches the magic 1000 demo's submitted! And when he gets there I will personally buy him a beer and roll him a foot long doobie. (I've got no idea how I'll get them to him though...)

Naturally, the servers still aren't working so you can get a .dz of all these demos here (UK) and here (Denmark, available after Stubby wakes up tomorrow).
Please don't bitch at us about the servers, we are trying to get them fixed but it's totally out of our hands. We know it's frustrating and annoying but please be patient and try not to be too hard on us.
Otherwise we'll come to your house and kill you! :-)

Goodnight.

Go bitch at GameSpy!

The first demo of the evening comes to us from the Hungarian Cannonball that is Jozsef Szalontai. He has managed to shave 2 seconds off of his Nightmare Run of phallusy with a couple of route tweaks. The speed he now gets from the first boost has to be seen to be believed, and he still says it's not optimised yet! 0:26

Speaking of Joe, you must head on over to the QdQ Improvements Page and download his e2m3 0:16 nightmare run. Frightening.

Carl Tholin has gone RDE mad and taken the three rd1m1 - Quadrant Six records that he didn't already have. (BTW. Jesse, I'm sure you must have heard this a million times but a quadrant is one part, or area, of four parts. In order to have a 6 it would need to be at least a sextant.)

• He improved DanielL's Nightmare Run by one second by using, errrr, better bunnies, or something, to get 0:49
• He beat Ilkka's Easy Run by one second to get 0:47 by having a faster PC. ;-)
• And finally he destroyed DanielL's Nightmare 100% by 13 seconds 1:38

David Hocking has done the first Zerstorer improvement for quite some time. He beat Bong Boy Fleck's Easy Run of zer1m4 by three seconds to get 1:27. He also includes a nice little egg demo showing what can happen when enforcers act like dumb fu%$ks around the teleporters.

And to complete our demo round-up for this update we take a dive into the pit with Martin Selinus and Jonny Anderson.

• Marvin The Destroyer managed to hack 2 seconds off of Ingmar's Easy Run to give a very impressive 0:52. But of course he isn't happy with the run because there is some microscopic flaw in it that no one else could even spot. I don't know, he does a run that most people would kill for and all he does is moan moan moan. ;-)
• "Pretty Balls" Andersson has improved his Easy 100% by 5 seconds to get 2:06.

That's the end of the demos for now. There is one more just come in but I'm not going to post it until you can get to it. By which I mean that the FilePlanet servers are b0rked again. You can't even get to some of the files that were available before. :-/
But believe me this one is a bit of a suprise and well worth the wait....

So let's begin by charging straight in to the Haunted Halls, running around like a madman and swinging our axe at everything that moves. Such behaviour could only come from someone of Viking heritage, in this case the Main Dane Thomas Stubgaard.
Stubby has not been idle the last few days. He has improved three of the four single player records on e3m7. (Well, I guess he's just not an "Easy Run" kind of guy).

• He improved his Easy 100% by one second to get 1:34.
• He then cranked the game up to Nightmare and took 3 seconds off of Big Poppa Pflug's Run to get 1:07. But I have to say that this should have been a 1:06 or a 1:05. Why do you waste time with the 100 Health secret when there's very little to damage you after that point and you have good health/armour already, dude??? Please go to the message board and write out 100 times "I must not waste time on extraneous health packs towards the end of almost flawless runs." :-)
• Finally, he improved the hardest Nightmare 100% in the whole game, and he did it in fine style. Watching this makes it look easy, but if you've never tried to do the Nightmare 100% on this map I suggest you give it try. You will be scarred forever. :-) 2:08, a 9 second improvement.

Before I leave I've just got time to tell you about a nice little bit of optimising that Amrik Kochhar has been working on in the last few days. In DanielM's .txt from his Nightmare 100% of beach1 he says that he thinks a two second improvement to 0:21 would be optimum. On Sunday night (my time) Amrik sent in the "optimum" 0:21 but he thought he could do better. On Monday he sent in a 0:20 and thought that was the end of it. But Stubby then suggested to him that maybe he could squeeze in an extra grenade boost too. So off he went and finally came back with this very impressive 0:19. Personally, with a better grenade boost I think he could do an 0:18. ;-)
BTW. Watch out for the last scrag kill. Depending on how you look at it it's either the luckiest or the slickest kill we've seen for a long time.

Stay tuned, more to follow....

But you didn't come here to listen to me bang on about how much I love message boards. You came here to see if the latest demos could live up to the high standard of the last few weeks, and the answer is that you can bet your biatch ass they do.

The first two are taken from an upcoming QdQ project called Qd100Qwav. This project (like all QdQ projects) is likely to take some time to finish so the team has decided to post some of the first person scratch runs. For the later levels and the recams you'll just have to wait for the finished production.

• Jozsef Szalontai improved Thomas's e2m1 Nightmare 100% by 6 seconds to get 1:24. No real new suprises just Joe running unbelievably fast.
• Thomas Stubgaard improves his Nightmare 100% of e3m2 by 4 seconds. How does me manage to squeeze another 4 whole seconds from this map? By using a trick that requires stupidly accurate timing, even by todays Speed Running standard! DAMN! 1:21.

Do you think you can handle any more ID NH? You don't have a choice with Stubby around. I wish I could see Amrik's face when he sees that his recent e1m4 demo has been owned by 10 seconds. He always said the hardest part of this map was working out how to kill the ogres and fiends by the silver key door. Well, my friend, this 2:12 shows you how it's done. :-)

Amrik Kochhar has added a little swish-swash-jump to the 100% records on dwell. He did the Easy 100% in 1:22 (the only Easy skill demo in this update!), 4 seconds faster than Justin, and the Nightmare 100% in 1:49, 7 seconds faster than Justin.

And of course, no update would be complete without a demo from Uddevalla. Daniel Andersson has improved his Nightmare Run of frbdbase by another second to give him a fine 0:35.

That's all. Now I suggest that you all head back to the Message Board and start a new thread called "Why Richard is the greatest Updater, Speed Runner and Sexual Tyranosaurus of all time."

You can find the message board HERE and also by using the link provided at the top of this website.

We begin with four demos on the ever popular Beyond Belief maps.

• In my last update I mentioned that Amrik had missed out on doing a trick on the Easy 100% of bbelief4 which should save him 2 seconds. Within one hour of posting the update he had come back with this 1:50.
• Aleksander Osipov has decided to do something about Amrik pimping all the BB records. He reclaimed his bbelief5 Easy 100%, improving Amrik by 7 seconds to get 2:13.
• But that's only a small setback for everyone's favourite Trinidadian (is that right?). He was on his way to bbelief7 to do the demo below whan he decided to stop off at bbelief6 and destroy Big Daddy Pflug's Nightmare Run by 14 seconds to get 1:11.
• Flushed with his success he went on to beat Attila's thought-to-be-optimised Nightmare Run of bbelief7 by one second to give him an unbeatable 0:06.99937.

As good as those demos were, I think it's time to unveil the EIGHT ID improvements we have for you this week. I can't remember the last time we had eight different ID records broken in one week, and frankly I can't be frigged to trawl back through the news to find out. And even though a lot of these are from people beating their own records (and we all know how often some of these people "beat their own") not one of these is a cheap improvement. All are Must Download. So, in level order they are....

• Jozsef Szalontai takes a second off of a record that I thought would be here until the end. He beat Markus's e1m7 Nightmare Run by one second by out bunnying the bunny master to get 0:28.
• Martin Selinus has obviously been letting his bad RJ to the silver door in his Easy 100% of e1m8 play on his mind. He improved his almost flawless run by one second to give him another almost flawless run of 0:52.
• Thomas Stubgaard also improved his Nightmare 100% of the same map by 2 seconds to give a low-grav, rocket-boosted, quad-jumping, ogre-killing, scrag-scragging 1:19.
• Jozsef also did a frighteningly good Easy Run of e2m3. He flew through the level in a time of 0:31. Would it be worth grabbing the health the second time the bars hit him in order to throw the second gren at the Death Knight from much closer? Who knows.
• Also on the same map, Timo Nieminen has improved his already impressive Nightmare 100% by 13 seconds to get 2:23. He made a whole load of tweaks and one fairly big change (throwing a few grens down through the window instead of going back to kill all the outside monsters) but after reading his .txt he may not be satisfied yet. He say's he improved it because he thinks Stubby is after his record but...
• Thomas was otherwise engaged opening a can of whoop ass on his Nightmare 100% e2m4. He improved it by 4 seconds to get 2:27. I loved the way he missed the DK kill with the 3 grens just before the pent, but found the time to rocket the metal fukka on the way back. :-)
• That would be enough for some people, but not The Northern NH God. He has further improved his e3m6 Nightmare 100%, this time by a frightening 21 seconds!! 4:12.
• Tonight's final ID improvemant comes courtesy of Daniel Magnusson. He has nuked his previous Episode 1 Nightmare 100% by 49 seconds to get a damn nice 12:11. Marathons are hell. Nightmare Marathons are hell. 100% Marathons are hell. This is a little taste of heaven, but it could be improved...

Marvin has given us our first Hipnotic improvement for a while. He bunnied and hugged his way around hipdm1 and finally tempted the shambler into a good position to get a 0:23, 2 seconds faster than Ilkka.

And for the last demo, fresh in tonight from Sweden, Jonny Andersson has improved his Easy 100% (despite the fact his .txt says Easy Run) of escape by a whole big second to get a 1:04.

Finally, Stubby has updated the links page with links to Ingmar's Ill Mind Moves and Compet-N, and if you don't know what that is, go take a look.

G'night y'all.

Shambler has also been extremely busy with updates and reviews since he got a new monitor. Plenty of new information and quality reviews as always. Definitely worth a look.

We'll start off the demos tonight with a coop orgy by a couple of seriously disturbed Swedes. (See here if you don't believe me). Johan Nilsson and Carl Tholin have produced 8 demos of various qualities for your entertainment.

• They did the easy 100% of czgtoxic in 1:02. A solid demo and some very poignant philosophcal musing from Johan about maps with no secrets in the .txt.
• Not wishing to let Jonny hog all the eyesock glory, they utilised a very nice SSG/slope boost to complete the Easy Run in 0:42, 14 seconds better than their previous run, and the Easy 100% in 1:01, a 22 second improvement.
• They then moved on to rd1m1 and filled the Nightmare 100% slot with a 1:03.
• And since they were on the Runner's Delight levels they thought that they'd improve DanielH and DanielA's nightmare run of rd1m3. They did it by two seconds to get a very nice 0:32. There'll be fighting in the sauna over this one, I'm sure. :-)
• Next, they improved their runs on damaul3. They took a second off the Easy Run time for a 0:11, but they took the time to (probably) optimise the Nightmare Run. 2 seconds faster and a nice bit of "total coop" gives an impressive 0:10.
• Oh yeah, they also did the Easy 100% of elektra in 0:44, 2 seconds faster than Evan and Cameron, but they lost one of the demos, probably the one that uses every cheat in the book. ;-)

Thomas Stubgaard is definitely back in full ID Nightmare 100% mode. This time he has improved his own e3m6 by three seconds to get 4:33. As Thomas says, when it comes to this map there are four words that spring to mind: patience, persistance, monster-cooperation and shotgun skillz.

Amrik Kochhar continues his attempt to own every Beyond Belief record. Some people might say that such a quest is futile (as futile as trying to get him to shut up on ICQ?) but he's not letting that daunt him.

• First on his hit list was the bbelief4 Easy 100%, which he did in 1:52, improving young Fleck's run by 2 seconds. He did my favourite zombie-armour jump but wussed out of the zombie-emerging-from-water jump from SCBBlite that would have saved another two seconds. *tsch*
• He then turned his attention to bbelief5, doing the Easy 100% in an impressive 2:20, 4 seconds faster than Alex. There was a heart stopping moment just after he killed the fiend by the main exit when it looked like he came within the width of a flies dick of falling in the lava, but he recovered in fine style.
• He also improved Robert's Nightmare Run by one second to get 0:23. This includes an all to familiar egg demo of what happens when you mess wit' da feendz.

Finally, I teamed up with The Main Dane to fill the Nightmare 100% hole on the normal gravity e1m8. We tried a few days ago and got a 1:02, but it wasn't very good and Stubby forgot to record it (DOH!) so we tried again last night and we SUCKED. The best we could do was this 1:03.

BTW. I uploaded the demos about two hours ago but they haven't copied across to the mirror sites yet. So if you can't download them now please do try later. I apologise on behalf of PlanetQuake and the GameSpy Network for any inconvenience caused. (I have to say that, If you check my e-mail address above you'll see that I'm now an official corporate wh0re. :-))

• Jozsef Szalontai improved Martin Selinus' Nightmare Run (normal gravity) of e1m8 by 1 second to get 0:25.
• But Martin fought back and improved upon Jozsef's with one more second to get 0:24.
• Martin also owned me by doing the Easy 100% (gravity), 3 seconds faster to get a time of 0:53.
• And finally we have an awesome demo from Ingmar Poerner who did the Nightmare Run of e2m5, improving Robert's time by 2 seconds and the QdQwav time by 1 second to get 0:37. Make sure you read Ingmar's text file!

  All demos Must Download

• Jonny Andersson did the Nightmare Run of escape, 3 seconds faster than his previous demo to get a time of 0:51.
• Amrik Kochhar followed up on Jonny's eyesock runs. He did the Easy 100% in 1:16, 5 seconds faster than Thomas Bergendorff, and the Nightmare 100% in 1:17, 2 seconds faster than Thomas.

Jonny Andersson has sent in two sweet eyesock demos.

• He did the Easy Run in fine style to get 0:46, 2 seconds better than DanielL.
• And he did some mad bunnying through the Nightmare Run to get 0:49, one second better than Daniel. Jonny, someone that can do a run like this really should have an ID record to their name...

The Russian Optimising Machine that is Valeriy Burmistrov has managed to do the promised Easy 100% of beach1 in 0:24. He did this by finally managing to get all three Ogre kills without breaking step once. Is a 0:23 possible? Rather you than me. :-)

You'd think that after all this time the ID tables could get a well deserved rest. But not with people like Daniel Lindberg And Thomas Stubgaard around.

• Daniel has produced another amazing demo. This time he cruised the Easy 100% of e3m4 in 1:13, 7 seconds faster than Thomas. There are a number of route tweaks in here but the biggest time saving is a very twisty quadded rocket boost that took me totally by suprise. Must Download.
• Which brings us to The Northern God we all know as Stubby. He has improved his Nightmare 100% of e2m7 by one solitary second to get 2:49. Now you may think a one second improvement isn't much, but if you've ever tried a Nightmare 100% on this map you will know that it is *ahem* fiendishly difficult to even stay alive, let alone get to the end in a decent time. That said, it isn't one of Thomas's greatest runs, but the inclusion of an egg demo showing one of the funniest bits of monster madness I have ever seen makes this a Must Download.

Thomas Bergendorff tried to resist the lure of speed running but I'm very glad to say he couldn't. He managed to do the Nightmare run of networld in 1:33, a massive 19 seconds faster than DanielM, before he had to get back to his *cough* wrist exercises.

Amrik Kochhar has suprised us all by making a further (and I think final) improvement to his Easy Run Marathon on Beyond Belief. Outstanding running across all the levels gave him a five second improvement of 2:55. Check his .txt file: it reads like an acceptance speech at the Oscars. :-) Must Download.

For those of you that would like to try something a little different, Daz from The DaZ Dranz Level Cave is hosting a SpeedRunning Competition using his DMSP mod, a cool add-on that allows monsters to spawn on deathmatch levels. The results are being decided by two things, speed and the number of cool tricks you can perform during your run. See here for details and don't forget to tell him you heard it on SDA. :-)

I couldn't finish this update without offering our deepest condolences to all victims, families and friends of the hideous terrorist atrocities this week. I also hope that all the scum that plan, commit and support any terrorist action against innocent people for political or religious reasons die slow, horrible deaths. Bastards.

After Axel's cool demo from the previous update I thought we might have to wait a while before we saw any improvement to the e1m8 runs. But Martin Selinus had other ideas. He took some time off from stealing cars and setting fire to reindeer to improve the Nightmare Run by 2 seconds to get 0:27. The next day Jozsef Szalontai sent us a one second improvement on that, but he wasn't quite quick enough (how often do you get to say that about Joe?) because Martin had already submitted a 0:26.
Martin says that his run should be beatable and Joszef called his run "a slow piece of sh1t" so I don't think this is over yet!

Marvin also decided that Peter's incredible Easy Run just wasn't quite good enough. So he spent the evening precision-quad-blasting himself around the map until he finally completed one of the best looking demos I have seen. Unfortunately, I'm feeling sadistic and am going to make you wait for it....

....Ready?....

....0:23. Must Download.

Jozsef has also somehow managed to shave another second off of his e4m8 Nightmare Run. Some crazy running and 2 helpful fiends allowed him to exit in 0:44, one second faster than Ilkka's Easy Run!

Dan Stukanev has submitted another one second improvement to his Nightmare run on houstrps. 0:40. This will be very hard to beat without some incredibly lucky cooperation from the Ogres at the gold key.

Amrik Kochhar keeps the improvements for the Easy 100% Beyond Belief Marathon coming. He took 39 seconds off of his old time in a much slicker looking demo which includes the mid air Zombie-Gren jump and a dubious quality rocket boost. 14:45.

And finally, after precisely 2 months and 7 improvements (4 seconds this time) Amrik has got the Easy Run Marathon down to 3:00. Very few flaws and excellent running throughout make this a Must Download.

Another record! Morfans did the Sunday run of SDA_update in a time of 1:59, 3 seconds faster than his previous record. Must Upload. (Thanks for that one, Amrik). :-)

True to his word, Amrik Kochhar has begun his weekly improvement of the Easy 100% Marathon on Beyond Belief. This week he managed to beat his previous time by 64 seconds to get 15:24. He continues to have problems with the cool zombie-grenade-jump-yellow-armour-secret trick but I'm sure he'll get it one day.

Next, Dan Stukanev continues to own the runs on houstrps. Stuker improved his Nightmare Run by one second to get 0:41, and Justin's Easy Run by the same amount for a 0:34.

The whole rest of this update concerns ID records. Thomas Stubgaard has once again found some time to improve some 100% demos from the original Quake levels. I guess he must have found some fool to help with the updates.

• He improved Justin's Easy 100% of e2m7 by 3 seconds to 1:30. He knew Amrik was also working on this run so he improved an ID record just to annoy him! Now that's what I call EVIL. :-)
• He is also now happy enough with his marathon Nightmare 100% through Episode 2 to submit it. This is an amazing run in my opinion. He keeps the aggression level high throughout and even manages to do the "curling bunny rocket slope jump" to the Quad at the end of The Wizard's Manse. Mental play indeed from the NH guru. He managed a time of 17:36, 386(!!!) seconds faster than Justin's record.

With the gradual errosion of Optic's runs over the last few weeks I was shocked to see that he only has 355 current records left on SDA! At this rate he will have none at all by the middle of 2007! Maybe this desperate news will prompt him to stop stabbing the cat and get back to business. ;-)

This brings us to the Run Of The Whenever. It was another storming success with the devil himself, Peter Horvath, taking the Easy Hundred and the ever impressive Daniel Lindberg taking the Nightmare 100%. Add this to Peter's victory in last December's RotW and we have a new map and set of runs to add to the tables.

Ziggurat Gravito - e1m8 with normal gravity.

• Easy Run. Peter Horvath with 0:24. (Includes a very nice recam). If you've never seen this run, watch it now. It truly rocks.
• Easy 100%. Peter Horvath with 0:36.
• Nightmare 100%. Daniel Lindberg with 1:06.
• Nightmare Run. Jonny Andersson has beaten the crowd to the first gap in the ID tables for quite some time. He has done a 0:31 which I haven't seen myself yet as I'm writing this update at work, but Stubby tells me it's "adequate". This is Jonny's first solo ID record! Way to go Jonny you crazy young Swede.

That's it for now. Keep those demos coming in, send us in a profile if you haven't done so already *COUGH*Daniel*COUGH*, and stay tuned for the next contest, which will be coming.....

Whenever.

On to the other demos.

• Jozsef Szalontai has upped the stakes in the battle for the Easy Run of czg_moon. He changed the route to the first switch and found a new way to get to the silver key. This enabled him to improve Jonny's run by three seconds to get 0:30. Must Download.
• Jozsef also managed to shave a second off of his czgtoxic Easy Run with some insane bunnying. 0:26.
• Dan Stukanev has sent in another impressive nightmare run, this time on houstrps. He improved Justin's record by two seconds to get 0:42. Way to go Dan.
• Jan Schob has finally recaptured the only run he has ever had on SDA. He did the Nightmare Run of r1m1 in 1:24, two seconds faster than Justin. This demo was actually recorded over a year and a half ago. To find out why he has only just submitted it keep reading...

To finish off we have four marathon runs. Well, three marathons and a project.

• Tim Doherty has done both the marathon runs on DoE1:Hell's Fortress. He took 10 seconds off of Nolan's Easy Run to get 10:19.
• He then did the Nightmare Run in 16:52, 350 seconds faster than his previous run. This is much more aggressive than his previous attempt, although me came very close to blowing himself into little pieces on the final level.
• 16:52 is a good time but 8:44 is better. And that's exactly what Jan "Ghetto" Schob has done... kinda. Jan embarked on what he called Rogue done Roughly (RdR) back at the start of 2000, using QdQstats to record a complete run through DoE on Nightmare skill just like a QdQ run. Unfortunatley he only got as far as the end of the first episode before he ran out of time/enthusiasm (ain't that always the way?), but I've posted the result anyway as it does contain some nice tricks and running.
• We'll finish this update how we started it. With Mr Kochhar. Amrik has turned his attention to the Easy 100% of Beyond Belief. He has so far improved Nolans previous marathon by 63 seconds to get 16:13 but I doubt it will stay that way for long. Expect several improvements in the next few weeks. :-)

Before I go I'd just like to remind you that the closing date for the current Run Of the Whenever is this Wednesday (5th September). I know Stubby said two weeks but apparently in Denmark Saturday 18th August + 14 days = Wednesday 5th September. Crazy Dane. ;-)

The first demo we have for you is a very nice ID record by Amrik "The Trinidad Tornado" Kochhar. He improved Thomas Bergendorff's Nightmare 100% of e1m4 yesterday evening, and then kept on improving it last night and throughout today, finally settling on 2:26, an 11 second improvement.

The last couple of days have seen a real battle for the Easy 100% of czgtoxic.

• First Jonny Andersson took 4 seconds off his previous record to get 1:45.
• Then only minutes later Aleksander Osipov pitched in with a 1:40.
• Jonny replied with a 1:38.
• But then Carl Tholin entered the battle with a devastating 1:28.
• And since he was on the map he also decided to take Tim's Nightmare 100%. He did it in a very convincing manner by 114 seconds(!) to get 2:24. He says he would have improved it further but a woman dragged him off to bed. Unfortunately for him it was his Mother. :-)

Alex also managed to take two seconds off of his rpgsp1 Easy 100% with some nice route tweaks. 2:18.

Next, Dan Stukanev improved his nightmare run on ih1m4 by 4 seconds to get 0:39. Dan must really love this map as he is always "Russian" around on it. :-) (*Groan*. I can't believe I just wrote that).

Jonny was not prepared to let Amrik and Jozsef hog all the glory on czg_moon. He improved Jozsef's run by one second to get 0:33 by not doing the fiend boost and instead just bunnying around the outside to the silver key.

Now we move on to the much anticipated SpeedCon2001 demos. The speedy lads at this year's speedrunning event did some amazingly speedy demos which we've added to SDA's tables:

First up we have an ID record from the bunny pioneer himself. Let's have a big cheer for Mr Ilkka Kurkela. Ilkka is back with style as he improved his Easy Run of e4m8 by 1 second to get 0:45.

Then the chaps embarked on a coop frenzy which saw them p155 all over a lot of MP-Crew records. :-)

• e1m2 2 Player Nightmare 100% in 0:54 by Ilkka & Alex. 7 seconds faster than the previous time.
• e1m5 3 Player Easy 100% in 0:26 by Ilkka, Will & Ingmar. One second faster than the MP-Crew.
• e2m1 3 Player Easy 100% in 0:38 by Ilkka, Alex & Marlo. Improves the MP-Crew record by 2 seconds.
• e3m5 3 Player Easy Run in 0:28 by Alex, Will & Ingmar. Table filler.
• e4m1 3 Player Easy 100% in 0:32 by Ilkka, Alex & Will. Improves the MP-Crew record by a second.
• e4m3 3 Player Easy 100% in 0:48 by Ilkka, Will & Ingmar. Improves the MP-Crew record by 4 seconds.
• e1m1 4 Player Easy 100% in 0:25 by Ilkka, Alex, Will & Marlo. Improves the MP-Crew record by a second. A very slick run, guys.
• e1m1 4 Player Nightmare 100% in 0:30 by Alex, Marlo, Ingmar & Will. Improves the MP-Crew record by two seconds.
• e2m5 4 Player Easy 100% in 0:38 by Ilkka, Marlo Alex & Will. Improves the MP-Crew record by 5 seconds.

Will the Swedes fight back? Only time will tell.

So there you have it Ladies and Gentlemen. The end of another update. Now I'm going to bed because I'm so tired that I'm crying tears of blood, and although it makes quite a pretty pattern on the carpet I'm not convinced that it's good for my overall health.

UPDATE 10:52 AM

Seems like Morfy forgot to post the custom demos from SpeedCon....look above for the most likely reason why he forgot :)

• bbelief4 2 player Easy Run in 0:18 by Ilkka & Will. Tablefiller.
• darkages 2 player Easy 100% in 0:48 by Alex & Marlo. Improves the MP-Crew record by 7 seconds.
• mcomplex 2 player Nightmare 100% in 2:07 by Ilkka & Alex. Tablefiller.
• bbelief6 3 player Easy Run in 0:29 by Alex, Stefan & Will. Tablefiller.

It's a slow trickle of maps...cuz I'm still too lazy to post more than that at once. The newest map to be added to the glorious tables of SDA is czg100b - Rabbit in my Deadlight by CZG, of course.

To start things off I did the nightmare 100% in a lousy time of 2:18. Somebody beat it, please!

Special notice to the staff of PlanetQuake who made SDA the Site of the Day today. That's the 5th time in 3 years :-)

Run of the Whenever results are up. This contest goes down in history as the RotW contest with the most participants! The competition for 1st place was really tough. Be sure to check it out.
There will be a new RotW contest very soon, but this time with a little twist/surprise. I can tell you as much as it marks a new beginning for future RotW's. Stay tuned for more :)

• But a few days later Daniel Andersson improved Andrey's Easy 100% by 8 seconds to get 2:45.
• Richard Skidmore went kamikaze and improved Andrey's Nightmare 100% by 76 seconds to get 2:41. This is faster than the Easy 100% !!!...Way to go Richard :)
• Valeriy Burmistrov did an awesome Easy 100% of beach, which he improved by yet another second to get 0:26. I really enjoyed the way he killed the scrags at the end.
• Martin Selinus improved Jonny's Easy Run of escape by 1 second to get 0:48. Your ass got owned Jonny :)

Hail to id Software, we salute you! - 10:53 PM

The day has finally arrived that Quake turned 5 years!! There's a cool interview with John Romero and Tim Willits up at Methos Quake. The article even mentions some of the QdQ projects as a part of the most important events in Quake's history....Kewl!! :)

On another note there's a new speedmapping contest going on at Quake Speed Mapping. Part of the goal is to build speedrunning maps that we may use for future RotW contests on SDA! (be sure to read the "rules" on how to make a good speedrunning map). So if you're a skilled mapper and would like to see your map on SDA, then this is definitely worth a look.

UPDATE 11:19 PM
Also praise to Filip Söderholm with setting up a mirror for all of SDA's demos! Links to the demos on his server, in Sweden, now show up in all the demo.pl links.

Thursday, June 21st (2nd update) by Stubby

A few things - 5:35 AM

sda@pq is working again, so please use that for sending normal demos again. ROTW demos should go to Stub only...

Those of you using DOS Quake probably wonder what to do about fatal-error.bsp. If you name it fatal-er.bsp then you can watch all the demos. But that means if you record then people with it named fatal-error need to have two copies. *sigh*... lets just say you might have to rename your bsp to watch demos.

Run of the Whenever - 7:56 PM

Run of the Week...ehem!...of the Whenever is back with a vengeance!. The object is to get to the exit as fast as possible either as a single player or as a 2 player coop, using this map. You're welcome to do mad-coops as well, but they won't count as an entry, but I'll put them in the final package as eggs. All your demos must be recorded using the latest version of QdQStats and sent to me. Time to sharpen your bunny skillz folks :)

Results will be posted June 27th

Onward to the Army - 11:44 PM

Well the time has come for me to leave to the Army. I'm going to boot camp for the entire summer where I will get my ass beat into a fine young soldier! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am leaving Mr. Stub's in charge of my page and to direct all cheated/naked demos to stubgaard. Thank you for always being nice to me everyone, and if I was ever a dick to you on ICQ it's just because I'm usually working on something when I'm online :) Bye Nolan, continue to own those Zelda RPG's for me (I just beat Seasons).

Sunday, June 17th (2nd update) by Stubby

Fatal-Error - 8:54 PM

Fatal-error is literally what has happened to the planetquake mail server. We get multiple copies of the emails we've been sent, so until the problem has been fixed, please send your demos using this link.

We've recieved quite a few entried for Fatal-Error, but only two people managed to reach the 8 second barrier.

• Daniel Andersson improved Nolan's Easy Run of fatal-error by 2 seconds to get 0:08 using a completely NEW route! Well actually this route is the old one, coz Daniel did his demo one month ago :)
• Valeriy Burmistrov did the Nightmare Run in 0:08 too, using Nolan's route! Is there anyone crazy enough to try for 0:07?
• Daniel Hansson improved Justin's Easy Run of r1m1 by 1 second to get 1:16.
• Filip Söderholm managed to improve Fabian's Easy Run of doom2_08 by 1 second to get 1:32.
• Carl-Johan Andersson did the Easy Run of darknite 1 second faster than Justin to get a time of 1:28.
• He also did the Nightmare Run 4 seconds faster than Marlo to get 1:29.

It's a real map - 10:20 AM

Assholes aside, there were people who submitted valid votes for the poll, and It's been a slow process because of all my game addictions but now I can add a real map.

Yes, just one.

Yes there will be more later.

No, Stubby doesn't know what they are or when they'll be added; stop bugging him.

Don't even think about bugging me.

I expect high quality demos :-)

The map is fatal-error, reviewed at shambler's site. Download it here, or if you're feeling lucky, on fileplanet.

Since the author made a little boo-boo in the design, the run on this map is pretty quick.... I did the easy run in 10 seconds.

That's all...

Where the fuck did the summer go? - 6:54 PM

What the fuck is this!?!? Isn't it supposed to be all sunny and warm in the middle of June?? It's so friggin' cold here in denmark that my balls has shrunk to half the normal size! I wanna see boobs, I wanna see thongs, I wanna see naked chicks god dammit!! Ok ok, I'll stop rambling about girls now....errr, for now :)

Single player demos:

• First up we have an awesome demo from Jozsef Szalontai also knows as the Hungarian bunny machine. He totally owned my Easy 100% of e4m8 which he did 53 seconds faster to get a time of 2:58!! THIS IS A MUST DOWNLOAD
• Next up we have another outstanding demo done by Daniel Hansson. He wasted Jesse's old Easy Run of mexx2 by 1 second to get 0:09. It couldn't be closer to 10 seconds as the time he got was a 0:09.99!
• Jonny Andersson improved Arturo's Easy Run of mexx8b by 1 second to get a time of 0:20.
• Daniel Hansson decided that the Nightmare Run had to be improved too, so he owned Marlo by 2 seconds to get 0:20. This is the same time as the easy run.
• Jonny wasn't satisfied with his previous Easy 100% of pit, so he tried some more and came up with a 5 second improvement to get a time of 2:17. *spoiler* There's still a trick which no-one has used yet, but it only works in a Nightmare Run. I can tell you as much as it includes alot of Vore-balls! *spoiler*
• Daniel Andersson wanted to get both runs on evildead, so he improved Justin's Nightmare Run by 4 seconds to get 1:01.

Coop demos:

• DanielH/Jonny/KimSvea did the Nightmare 100% of e1m1 in a time of 0:34 (1:05) Table filler.
• DanielH/Jonny did the Nightmare 100% of e1m1 in a time of 0:42. This is 2 seconds faster than their previous record.
• DanielH/Jonny did the Easy Run of e3m7 in a time of 0:43 (0:44) Table filler.
• Robert/Rickard/Peter did the Nightmare Run of rd1m2 in a time of 0:39 (0:54) Table filler.
• DanielH/Jonny did the Easy Run of mexx8b in a time of 0:19 (0:20) Table filler.
• Robert/Peter did the Easy Run of r1m1 in a time of 1:14 (1:17) Table filler.
• Robert/Rickard/Peter did the Easy Run of r2m8 in a time of 0:20 (0:28) Table filler.
• Robert/Rickard/Peter also did the Nightmare Run in a time of 0:31 (0:50) Table filler.
• DanielH/Jonny/KimSvea did the Nightmare 100% of badland2 in a time of 2:38 (3:30) Table filler.
• DanielH/Jonny did the Easy Run of escape in a time of 0:46 (0:49) This 2 seconds faster than their previous record.
• DanielH/Jonny/KimSvea did the Easy 100% of empire in a time of 1:19 (2:44) This is 8 seconds faster than the previous record.
• DanielA/Fredrik Eckers did the Easy Run of evildead in a time of 0:42 (0:46) Table filler.

FilePlanet Sucks! - 7:08 PM

In case you can't download the demos don't blame us. The new FilePlanet system truly sucks.
Does anyone have a 1GB ftp server they would like to share with us?!?! :)

• I did the Nightmare 100% of e2m5, 10 seconds faster than my previous record to get a time of 2:09. Still the same route and same amount of mistakes! Oh it's also 10 seconds faster than Qd100Qr :)
• Newcomer Carl-Johan Andersson improved Marlo's Nightmare Run of discord by 1 second to get 0:52. This is certainly a very nice demo for a newcomer.
• Daniel Hansson improved his Easy 100% of frbdbase by 2 more seconds to get 0:45.
• Jonny Andersson improved Jouzas' Easy Run of escape by 1 second to get a time of 0:49.
• Jonny also improved his Easy 100% of empire by 6 seconds to get 2:44.
• In my last update I forgot to mention Daniel Andersson's Nightmare Run through czg01 which he improved by 1 more second to get 1:53. Sorry Daniel, it won't happen again....
• Daniel also did the Easy Run of evildead in a time of 0:46, 2 seconds faster than Fabian.
• Daniel Hansson and Jonny Andersson keeps improving their Easy 100% of e1m1. This time they did it in 0:31 (0:54), 1 second faster than their previous record. Optimum time?
• Martin Thorning and Filip Söderholm improved Marlo and Fabian's Easy 100% of e3m5, which they did 2 seconds faster to get 1:10 (1:32)

The results are in! - 6:05 AM

I think my little poll for what maps to add has been going on long enough now, don't you? I've looked at the votes and I've decided what needs added. The clear winner of the poll was ... *drum roll*:

DM3!

In fact, it blew away everything else in the poll by so much, that I think that's the only thing that needs added for the next two months, at least! To get things started, I did the easy run in a time of 0:57. Make sure you check it out... if you can download it that is (stupid fileplanet).

Tuesday, June 5th by Stubby

Hey Ho Let's Go - 5:48 PM

Here's the rest of the demos as promised:

We kick it off with two very cool id demos:

• Daniel Magnusson improved upon his Easy 100% of e3m6 which he did 5 seconds faster to get 2:08. This demo really rocks. It's soooo hard to get all the monsters to cooperate on this map. Check the egg demo for a Houdini trick done by one of the Ogres!
• Martin Selinus did what I knew he was capable of doing. He improved his Easy Run (the long way) of e2m1 by 1 second to get 0:43. He gained the few missing tenths of seconds by getting a Grunt boost!

Non id demos:

• Basil de Vries improved his Easy Run of alk07 by 3 more seconds to get 1:01.
• Daniel Hansson never stops playing czg07a. He improved his Easy Run by 2 seconds to get 1:20.
• Jonny Andersson improved his Easy 100% of empire, by 9 seconds to get 2:50.

Are you HUNGARY for demos? - 6:05 PM

Jozsef Szalontai the Hungarian bunny machine shows that he's capable of doing 100%'s as well as cool runs. He improved my Easy 100% of e2m6 by 33 seconds to get a blistering time of 3:38 !!!! I knew this was possible, but as my bunnies suck ass I'm glad someone else finally had the guts to try it out. This demo requires loony bunny skills, alot of patience and, alot of monster cooperation, loony bunny skills, vore-balls jumping skills, fish quad-jumping skills (err NOT), oh and did i mention loony bunny skills?

To show you how much speed skillz have developed over the years consider this: Jozsef has just done the Easy 100% in 3:38. The first "Easy Run" on this level was done by Justin (september 1997) in the blistering time of 4:59. A minute and a half slower!!!!! Now frankly I could do the Easy Run in less than five minutes, blindfolded and only using my dick. It's a shame that Justin's original demo is now lost to posterity :)

Other demos that has been sent to SDA will be posted soon....

Free Duff, Viva Life - 12:19 AM

• Martin Selinus never stops playing id maps. He improved Jozsef's Easy Run "the long way" of e2m1 by 1 second to get a time of 0:44. Martin says he will continue to try for 0:43, but he's not sure if he can pull it off! I know he can :)
• Martin went to a demo-party where he hooked up with Robin Kuivinen to do the Easy 100% of e3m2, improving their previous record by 1 second to get 0:34.
• Finally me and my speedrunning brother were able to do our first coop together. We picked e3m3 as we though it would be easy as pie, but we were wrong. We got a time of 0:49 though, 3 seconds faster than Marlo and Fabian!
• Amrik Kocchar improved Arturo's Easy Run of dxm by 1 second to get a time of 0:13. He has returned from Markus bunny-hopping school with a vengeance he says. PhEaR him...
• Someone finally took the liberty to improve the least favorite map on sda! Basil de Vries did the Easy Run of alk07 in 1:04, 13 seconds faster than Nolan.

More haste less speed! - 9:26 PM

It seems like some people had some difficulties recognizing the real name of the maps, so from now on they'll be posted with their bsp name instead.

• Martin Selinus improved Ingmar's Nightmare Run of e1m5 by 1 second to get 0:19. Lotsa luck is needed to pass all those monsters. MUST DOWNLOAD
• I added to the fight over e2m5. I improved Nolan's Nightmare 100% by 5 seconds to get a time of 2:19. New route, new tricks, shitty playing, but still worth a look :)
• Valeriy Burmistrov shaved another second off his Easy 100% of bb7 to get 0:36. Valeriy is a mad optimizer. He's never satisfied until he knows the time is optimum.
• Jonny Andersson improved his Nightmare Run of esc by 1 second to get 0:56. Funny map.
• Jonny also improved Stefan's Nightmare Run of dxm by 5 seconds to get 0:15. I've always liked the trick used in this map. I wonder if it's possible to do without shooting that horde of monsters first.

Attack of the Swedes Part II - 1:35 AM

Holy cow, these guys must be on some kind of "speed" :)

• Daniel Hansson improved his Easy Run of Research Facility, by 4 seconds to get 1:40. No special tricks in this, mostly bunnies throughout the whole demo.
• Daniel improved his Easy Run of Core Decomposed, by 1 more second to get 1:22.
• Daniel improved his Easy 100% as well to get 4:30, 2 seconds faster than Marlo Galinski.
• And finally he managed to improve his Easy 100% of Subgud, improving his previous record by another 6 seconds to get 4:10.

But the fun doesn't stop here:

• Daniel and Jonny improved their Easy 100% of Subgud, by 36 seconds to get a time of 2:30. Taken from their txt file they weren't too happy about their previous record from last update :)
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy Run in a time of 0:35, only one second faster than the single player time! Seems like it should have been faster :o)
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel also snatched the Easy 100% in a time of 2:20, which is 10 seconds faster than the two player record.

Tuesday, May 22nd by Stubby

Do you hate these headlines? - 12:12 PM

Let's kick it off with the single player demos:

• Stefan Schwoon has done his first demo in four months! He improved Andrey's Nightmare 100% of The Old City, by 261 seconds to get 9:05. Lotsa monster cooperation is needed in this map.
• Valeriy Burmistrov improved his Easy 100% of The Temple, by one more second to get a time of 0:14. Dare we say that this is optimum?
• Daniel Hansson improved his Easy 100% of Badlands 2, by 2 seconds to get a time of 2:54.
• Daniel also improved his Nightmare Run of Azurette, by another 2 seconds to get a time of 0:44.

• Evan and Justin did the Easy 100% of Phantasmal Garrison in a time of 1:36 (2:09) table filler

And we even have four mad-coops for your viewing pleasure:

• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e1m1 to get a time of 0:27, 1 second faster than Marlo/Fabian/Stefan
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e1m2 to get a time of 0:31, 1 second faster than Carl/Mark/Jonny
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e1m3 to get a time of 0:37, 1 second faster than Carl/Mark/Jonny
• Daniel/Jonny/Daniel did the Easy 100% of e3m3 to get a time of 0:42, 7 seconds faster than Gunnar/Evan/Justin

Let's finish this update off with a cool marathon:

• Marlo Galinski showed off some of his skills and improved his Easy 100% through Episode2, by 36 seconds to get a time of 12:00.

Do you hate these maps? - 9:40 AM

Ever since SDA started adding new maps again, the selection of the maps has basically been my decision, even though I usually got suggestions from people. Lately I haven't had time to look at the new maps and since I generally ignore any inidividual recommendations, I decided to allow everyone to vote for the maps they want to see here.

So if there's a map that you want to speedrun, or just that you want to see cool demos on, then go vote for it! Just enter the bsp/zip name and I'll ask for download locations later. You can vote for more than one map if you like too, just dont abuse the system, ok? The length of this poll is undetermined... depends on how much response there is.

Monday, May 14th (2nd Update) by Evan

Suck me sideways - 10:44 PM

Just to let you few but dedicated 'Nudists' that my page has been updated with the competition between Martin and Jozsef heating up and of course "Maximum Fleckage". I'm in the process of redesigning my entire site as it obviously needs some work on the update layout. Finally, if you want a good metal/industrial song then get Disobedience by KMFDM (excellent German band).

Faster than a speeding bullet - 4:18 PM

This update is packed with cool demos. Do yourself a favor and download them all, you won't be disappointed...

• Martin Selinus went nuts and improved Markus' Nightmare Run of e4m3 by 1 second to get 0:39. Most of the monsters somehow killed themselves at the end making it easier for Martin to survive. This is a must download
• He improved his Easy 100% of e2m2 as well, improving his current record by 4 seconds to get 0:55. Holy crap, I thought 0:58 would be optimum!
• Jozsef Szalontai went nuts too and improved Martin's Easy Run of The Alpha Project by 2 seconds to get 0:07. he used an awesome barrel jump to achieve this time. Another must download
• Jozsef improved his Nightmare Run of Cult by another second to get 0:21. Nice Ogre-GJ boost!
• Newcomer Dan Stukanev made his first speedrun in the form of an Easy Run through The Ruiner's Revulsion in the time of 0:21, 1 second faster than Josh Zayas.
• Hannu Kankaanpaa keeps improving the Nightmare 100% on The Pit. This time he managed to beat his record by 14 seconds to get 2:42.

Friday, May 11th by Stubby

Attack of the Swedes - 6:47 PM

Daniel and Jonny has done a huge amount of demos in the last couple of days:

• Let's kick it off with a demo that Daniel did by his own. He improved my Easy 100% of e3m5 by 1 second to get 1:32. This demo rocks!
• He improved Arturo's Easy Run of The Forbidden Base by 3 seconds to get 0:33.
• He couldn't leave the Easy 100% untouched so he improved that as well to get 0:47, 2 seconds faster than Justin.
• Daniel hooked up with Jonny to do the Easy Run in a time of 0:29.
• And as a little bonus they did the Easy 100% too in a time of 0:35.
• They did an awesome run on Episode1 beating Sergi and Jordi's Easy Run by 1 second to get 2:24. They even got 0:21 in e1m1...!! Be sure to check this one out.
• They did the first ever coop on The Gibplex. Easy 100% in a time of 0:52. You can only get 27/28 monsters in this map.
• Attila's speedrunning map got abused too. They improved Evan & Cameron's Easy 100% of The Pit by 2 seconds to get 1:21.
• They went on and on and did the Nightmare 100% as well to get 2:16.

This update is not entirely by the two swedes as Justin managed to sneak in a demo too.

• He improved his own Nightmare 100% of The Outer Regions by 20 seconds to get 4:21.

Alcohol is a way of life! - 1:13 AM

Alcohol is a way of life, Alcohol is my way of life, and I aim to keep it.....

• Nolan Pflug totally owned Tim Doherty as he improved Tim's Nightmare 100% Marathon of Hell's Fortress by 592 seconds to get 26:55. Seems like Nolan doesn't know the word cautious :)
• He managed to beat Justin's r1m1 by 3 seconds while he did that marathon. He got a time of 3:14.

P.S. The Gamespy server is extremely slow at times. I crosschecked the links and they work just fine, so you just have to keep trying.

Greedy For Speed - 2:03 PM

Justin is back to his usual standards....I'm glad he got that new desk of his :)

• He improved his own Easy 100% of Cult by 5 seconds to get 0:47. It takes exactly 11 ssg shots to kill a Shambler.
• He improved Fabian's Nightmare 100% as well to get 0:47, 2 seconds faster. Same time as the easy demo.
• He improved his old '98 Easy 100% of Horror Erotique by 4 seconds to get 1:25. "Horror Erotique" hmmmmm....weird name for a map!!
• He wasn't satisfied with his Nightmare Run of The Outer Regions, so he improved it by 16 seconds to get 2:41.
• He improved Jonny's Easy 100% of Escape by 1 second to get 1:06. Justin seems to be a bit irritated towards the monsters on this map.
• And finally he improved Andrey's Nightmare 100% Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison by 243 seconds to get 15:48. Look below for Andrey's demo ->

Demos by others:

• Martin Selinus improved his Easy Run of Phantasmal Garrison by one more second to get 0:23. That barrel jump really kicks ass....GET IT NOW!

• Jonny Andersson improved his Nightmare 100% of The Pit by 148 seconds to get 4:03. You finally figured out where the keys were located huh? :)
• As mentioned above Andrey did the Nightmare 100% Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison, to get a time of 19:51. 1 second faster than Richard...that's not a whole lot for a marathon :)
• He filled out the missing spot in the PG tables as he did the Nightmare Marathon too to get 13:30.

Choke Your Chicken - 8:19 PM

Choking your chicken daily enables you to speedrun faster........

• Timo Nieminen improved Ilkka's old record of e3m3 by 1 second to get 0:26. It's nearly impossible to get a decent run with all those stooopit monsters in the end!
• Justin Fleck improved Nolan's Easy 100% of r2m5 by 13 seconds to get 3:11. Does anyone have the guts to challenge Justin/Nolan on the Rogue maps?
• Andrey Stepanov improved Basil's Nightmare Run of Phantasmal Garrison by 1 second to get 0:33. The last bit of this map is damn hard to survive.
• A shame for Andrey that Martin Selinus did it 1 second faster to get 0:32.
• Martin also improved his Easy Run to get 0:24. This demo rocks!
• He improved his Easy run of The Alpha Project by 1 second to get 0:09. Damn close to 0:08!

Summertime is comin' at ya! - 10:04 PM

Summertime has finally arrived here in Denmark. There's half-naked chicks all around and everyone is getting heavily loaded....what more can you ask for?

Justin got a new desk which enabled him to improve some of the oldest records in the tables:

• He did the Easy 100% of r1m6 in 2:16, 24 seconds faster than Will Marsh. That was his last single player record!
• He also did the Nightmare 100% of r1m3 in 2:47, 34 seconds faster than Nolan's ancient keyboard record!
• And finally he did the Nightmare 100% of r1m4 in 4:24, 88 seconds! faster than Nolan.

Next up we have Daniel "Fleck" Hansson. He has been sending in demos like a madman since he started speedrunning, just like Justin in the old days :)

• He did the Easy Run of The Outer Regions in 1:22, which improves his previous record by 1 second.
• He improved his Easy Marathon of Phantasmal Garrison too by 1 second to get 4:10
• Daniel hooked up with Jonny (as usual) and improved their Easy 100% of e1m1 to get 0:32, beating their own record by 1 sec. That's the 70th demo on this map!!
• The same two runners did the Easy Run of rd1m2 to get 0:21, 1 second faster than Ilkka and Juho's previous record.

And now on the rest of the demos:

• A few days later he improved it to 0:53, 3 seconds faster.
• Basil hooked up with Richard and they got a time of 0:39, 14 seconds faster than the single player time.
• Valeriy Burmistrov improved Justin's Nightmare Run of Polygon Base by 1 second to get 0:07, equaling Peter's easy run! Optimized?

• Tim Doherty did the Nightmare 100% Marathon of Hell's Fortress to get a time of 36:47, 636 seconds faster than Richard!!!
• Richard and I did the coop no-one else wanted to do! We did the Nightmare 100% of e2m6 to get a time of 7:21, 65 seconds faster than my single player record. Be sure to check it out. And as a little bonus we included two eggs :)

Friday, April 27th by Nolan

Got the paks? - 2:10 PM

All the demos on this little update are from the two Quake mission packs. If you dont have them, you've surely missed out on a lot more than just these!

• Richard and I did all the remaining levels in the Rogue pak which had no 2-player easy 100%s:
  • r1m7 in 1:58, 46 seconds faster than the single player.
  • r2m6 in 2:34, 38 seconds faster than the single player.
  • r2m7 in 2:22, 1:42 faster than the SP.
• Tim Doherty filled did two more new marathons on the rogue pak. His mission seems to be to do them all... good luck with the NH, tim.
  • Nightmare run through the first episode in 22:42.
  • Easy run through both episodes in 30:32.
• Justin Fleck did the easy 100% of hip1m2 in 2:06, seven seconds faster than my previous record.

That's it for now...

Farewell Carl.. - 10:15 AM

Although Carl and I hadn't talked in years I knew that it would only be right that he deserved an update. You see, back in the day we were coop buddies and he's been in the community as long as I have. Although I normally respect people's decisions, I find the decision to leave hard to stomach. Even though I could never turn my back on so many great friends which have helped me in the past I can understand how some people just need to 'move on'. Later Carl, I hope you stay in contact with us unlike some who have left in the past.

Tuesday, April 24th by Optic

Mini Update - 12:48 AM

Check out these demos:

• He also improved Markus's e2m5 easy run by 2 seconds to get 0:27. Damn, this guy is good, very few runners can improve Markus's amazing demos.
• Carl Tholin improved Peter's e2m4 easy 100% by 5 seconds to get 1:35. By the looks of his txt file, this is his last quake demo =|.

Finally Back - 9:30 AM

Phew. What seemed like a year away from the internet was actually only 2 weeks! My ISP went bankrupt and of course cut me off without notice. However, I switched to cable modem and will return to the regular updates of my page.

On another note, Will has returned from his grave and will be posting the next ROTW. I'm not quite sure when this will be, but I'm just glad to see Will is back and alive.

• Nightmare Run in 0:50, improving his previous record by 3 seconds.
• Easy 100% in 1:10, improving his previous record by 2 seconds.

On to the coops:

• They also did Easy 100% of e1m8 in 0:41. Playing with no gravity sucks :)
• Me and Nolan did the Nightmare 100% of e2m5 in 2:01. I have no clue how many times we bitched at that fucking Ogre at the start! It drove us nuts!
• I hooked up with Richard Skidmore and we did the Nightmare 100% of e4m4 in 3:01. Stay tuned for lots more id table fillers from me and Richard :)
• Nolan & Richard did the Easy 100% of r2m3 in 1:27. Lotsa action in this one.
• Attila & Peter did the Easy Run of ikspq1 in 0:32. Holy Macaroni...you have to see this one!
• Peter and *another one* of his speedrunning brothers did the Easy Run of The Forsaken Citadel in 0:16. Nice boost.

The bunny that's stuck in time - 10:54 AM

For those that are unaware, there has been a Quake done Quick 'movie' production of "The Rabbit Run" in production for some time now. It's faced the usual delays associated with such things, but progress continues to be made. Along the way, some of the speed runs were improved too. In order to keep people informed, but to keep the demos secret, only the times for the news demos were posted here on SDA. That's why there's some records on the id maps that are not downloadable.

Since Trr-the movie, is taking almost an eternity to get released, we've decided to post some of these unposted demos which will be in it. Not all of them though. :) So, download all the following demos, some made more than two years ago, and marvel at the bunny skills you wish you had! I know I do.

• e1m1 in 0:23 by Markus Taipale. This one already counted for one of the 66 demos on this level, mentioned last time.
• e1m2 in 0:31 by Ilkka Kurkela. Note: This is not part of Trr; a 0:30 by Markus has been listed in the tables too, it will remain unposted.
• e3m1 in 0:24 by Markus. e3m1 is the #2 map in turns of number of demos...
• e4m2 in 0:30 by Markus. I can't come close to the trick used at the end!
• e4m3 in 0:39 by Markus. Gotta love that quad grenade jump.

Anybody else think Markus should start a bunny hopping school?

Who needs girls? - 6:42 AM

Who needs female runners when you can coop with the guys?

• Daniel Hansson and Jonny Andersson improved Marlo and Fabian's easy 100% of e1m1 by one second to get 0:33. Geez that's the 66th demo on this level, how many more can people do !?!
• Evan convinced his friends Brad and David to play some Quake. They did a 3 player easy 100% on e1m5 in 0:32, one second faster than the two player.
• Evan and I did a crazy nightmare 100% of e4m5 in 2:04, 33 seconds faster than the single player. Beware the zombie gibs.
• We also did an easy 100% of ikspq4 in 1:46, 25 seconds faster than the single player.
• Robert and Rickard Axelsson did the two player run on ikspq1. First they did it in 0:34 on easy, then 0:34 on nightmare, and then they went back and got 0:33 on easy!
• DanielH and JonnyA also improved Robert and Rickard's easy run of pg1 by nine seconds to get 1:12.
• And then did an easy 100% of coagula2 in 0:56, only two seconds slower than their 3 player.
• Since they dont know when to stop, D&J also did demos on escape. They did the easy run in 0:48 (0:50) and the easy 100% in 0:52 (1:08).

For those bound to complain: of course I dont mean what I say, anyone is welcome to join in the madness that is Quake running!

And now for those people who play alone :)

• Daniel Hansson improved Aleksander Osipov's easy run of e3m5 by one second, bringing the time under one minute, to 0:59.
• He also improved the nightmare run by one second to get 1:01.
• But Jozsef had already done it in 1:00! (I'm posting both because Jozsef sent his in later than Daniel)
• I'm starting to think Daniel did half the demos in this update... He also did an easy run of placebo in 1:59, seven seconds faster than Thomas Bergendorff.
• Jozsef Szalontai improved his run of badland1 by one second to get a time of 1:01.
• Somebody annoying *cough* ken *cough* did an easy 100% of coagula2 in 1:02, beating out Richard Skidmore by nine seconds.
• Jonny Andersson improved his previous easy 100% of the pit (Attila's map) by two seconds to get 2:22.
• Timo Nieminen figured out how to change levels from e2m3 :) ... and improved Daniel Hansson's nightmare run of e2m4 by four seconds to get 0:52.
• One of the other Daniels--Daniel Andersson--improved his nightmare run of czg01 by four seconds to get 1:54.
• Andrey Stepanov finally filled the hole for the nightmare run of pg1 by getting a time of 3:44. BTW pg2 NR is still free as well!
• Andrey also did a marathon easy run through the Phantasmal Garisson episode in a time of 4:58.
• Daniel (back to Hansson) improved Richard's nightmare 100% of czg01 by a big 34 seconds to get 3:26.
• Richard felt too many of his demos were being beaten for this update, so he did one of his own (OK, probably not the reason). He improved his nightmare 100% of coagula2 by 29 seconds to get 1:51.
• And finally, Daniel (heh i was right) improved his own marathon run through the czg07 pak by five seconds to get 2:49.

Two Female Speed Runners? - 8:03 AM

The next 'Run of the Whenever' will be posted early this week. Also, my page has been updated with more cheated demos!

Daniel Hansson's normal amount.

• Easy run Marathon of CZG07 in 2:54, 12 seconds faster than his previous time.
• Easy run of CZG01 in 1:44, 7 seconds faster than his previous time.
• Easy run of CZG07A in 1:23, 3 seconds faster than his previous time with a faster arch jump.
• Easy run of GATORDIV in 1:01, 1 second faster than Matthias's old demo.

Martin Selinus improved his previous Easy 100% of E3M2 by 5 seconds to get 0:54, the end just plain kicks ass.

Thomas Stubgaard improved his previous Nightmare 100% of E3M3 by 2 seconds to get 2:02, not enough nails!

Daniel Andersson did a Nightmare run of CZG01 in 1:58, 12 seconds faster than Basil's time.

Cooperative Demos:

Daniel Hansson, Carl Tholin and Sara Hansson did the Nightmare 100% of COAGULA2 in 1:15, this demo goes down in history as the first Quake speed run to ever be done by a woman!

Daniel Hansson, Jonny Anderson and Ludvig Sjöstrand did the Easy 100% of COAGULA2 in 0:54, perfect level for mad coops.

Robert Axelsson and Rebecca Axelsson (all Axelsson kids start with an 'R') did the Easy 100% of JZB1 in 0:14.

Robert Axelsson and Rebecca Axelsson also did the Nightmare 100% of JZB1 in 0:27.

Robert Axelsson and Rickard Axelsson did the Nightmare run of JZB1 in 0:11, nice run.

Robert and Rickard also did the Nightmare 100% of JZB3 in 0:20, also very nice.

Nolan Pflug and Thomas Stubgaard filled in the Nightmare 100% of E1M4 in 2:05, Thomas was owned.

Nolan Pflug and myself have improved the Easy run of ZER1M1 by 8 seconds to get 0:32.

Daniel Hansson and Jonny Andersson improved their old Easy run of NETWORLD by 9 seconds to get 1:00.

Wednesday, March 14th by Stubby

Minor update - 8:36 PM

Just a few demos for your viewing pleasure....

• Peter Horvath did the Nightmare 100% of E4M1 in 0:58, 11 seconds faster than his previous record from '98.
  There's a bug in Quake which allows you to shoot the Nailgun after you have exited the intermission screen, which Peter made great use of to kill the last monster. Read his txt file for more details!
• Evan Wagner did the Easy 100% of ZER1M1 in 0:51, 3 seconds faster than the record he did a few days ago. /me like the sound of chainsaw ripping through grunts :)
• Evan hooked up with Nolan to make a coop of ZER1M1 in 0:39, 1 second faster than Evan & Cameron's Easy coop RUN....hmmmm?
• Hannu Kankaanpää did the Easy 100% of A3 (The Journey Home) in 2:53, 6 seconds faster than his previous record. Nice map.
• Arturo Garcia Lasca did Easy run of Dextromethorphan in 0:14, 3 seconds faster than Stefan. Monster cooperation is needed to make this trick work.
• He also did the Nightmare run of Darkness Diabolical in 0:38, 2 seconds faster than Justin.

Rumour has it that the MP-Crew is trying to convince Daniel Hanssons sister to do a coop with them. If there's any truth in that rumour she will be the first female ever to have a Quake record! It would be fun to have a chick on sda wouldn't it.... (personally I would love to read her profile :) Go for it Sara......

If some of you for some reason didn't get the point in Evan's headline (I didn't get it) in the previous update, check out this link to get an idea of what it was about :)

Nolan sends word that he has updated the Dzip site with new info. If you haven't download Dzip for some stoooopit reason, then do it now!

"All Your Demos Are Belong To Us" - 7:00 AM

First off I'd like to remind everyone to try and fill in the blanks at my site. There are still plenty of holes, and plenty of runners who haven't even tried a cheated run. I only have two cheated demos to update so far so until I get more I can't update!

Single Player Demos:

Robert Axelsson went nutz0rs in this update.

• Easy run of EVILWRLD in 0:30, 2 seconds faster than Ilkka with a cool ogre-gj.
  
• Easy run of P_SE_3B in 0:27, 1 second faster than Justin.
• Nightmare run of ELEKTRA in 0:17, 1 second faster than Ilkka.
  
• Nightmare run of EVILWRLD in 0:32, 5 seconds faster than Justin. Damn this looked tough!
  

And of course what update would be complete without demos from Mads-Peter Stubgaard.

• Nightmare 100% of BLACK1 in 4:03, 26 seconds faster than Marlo! Owned.
  
• Nightmare 100% of RTD in 2:32, 1 second faster than his semi-old demo.
  

Richard Skidmore is back up in the weezy.

• Easy 100% of COAGULA2 in 1:11, 8 seconds faster than Ken.
  
• Nightmare 100% of COAGULA2 in 2:20, 112 seconds faster than Fredrik! Holy shysties.
  

My least favorite Quake player Jozsef Szlontai has improved MY E2M6 Easy run by 1 second to get 1:15. Jozsef, I thought you loved me! How could you do such a thing! Someday I will get that fiend-push over the bar and own joo :)

Hannu Kankaanpää improved Justin's Easy 100% of A3 by 9 seconds to get 2:59. Justin is probably too scared to fight back.

Valeriy Burmistrov 'The mad Russian' improved his own Easy 100% of JZB3 by 1 second to get 0:15. This run is getting damn close to optimum I would say.

Nolan 'Mad H4ck3r' Pflug improved Ilkka's Nightmare 100% of ZER1M3 by 88 seconds to get 4:47. Yet another great download from the man who brought us speed running.

Martin Selinus continues his bashing on Markus by improving his Nightmare run of Episode 4 by 8 seconds to get 3:31. Fight back Markus!

Marlo Galinski has finally decided he can't live without Quake so he dusted off his keyboard and did an Easy 100% of Episode 2! He improved his own time 23 seconds to get 12:36.

Finally, I have improved Marlo's Easy 100% of ZER1M1 by 1 second to get 0:54. I just got a better time an hour ago but I'm trying for even more!

Cooperative Demos:

Robert Axelsson and Rickard Axelsson filled in some Prodigy Special Edition cooperative demos.

• Easy run of P_SE_3B in 0:25, that damn knight is annoying!
  
• Nightmare run of P_SE_3B in 0:29, gotta love that end part.
  
• Easy run/100% of P_SE_XXX in 1:15, watch this now!

Thank you to everyone who participated in contest #1! The results have been posted on the contest page, which you can now find on the navigation menu! I plan on posting contest #2 early next week; now I just need to make another fun map :)

Sunday, March 4th by Evan

"Smile in my face, really want to kill me." - 8:45 AM

Because Nolan is on vacation you will have to log on to my FTP to get demos that aren't posted yet. All the log on information is the same, and the link is under 'new demos' on the menu.

'Run of the Whenever the hell I post one' is coming along great. Results will be posted tomorow night, so send in those demos!

Now, here's your update all you ungrateful bastards.

Thomas Stubgaard, better known as Stubby has done some great demos.

• Nightmare 100% of E2M1 in 1:30, 1 second faster than Justin. Seemed like it should have been more!
• Nightmare 100% of E4M3 in 3:56, 12 seconds faster than his previous record GET THIS NOW!!!

Daniel Hansson is still climbing the ranks at SDA.

• Easy run of A3 in 1:03. Improved Shambler's just-made 1:05, damn :(
• Nightmare run of A3 in 1:08, 6 seconds faster than his 1:14 he sent a little before.

My favorite player, Jozsef Szlontai has done a couple of runs also.

• Nightmare run of CHESSP1 in 0:31, new to the tables.
• Nightmare 100% of PHALLUSY in 1:13, 5 seconds faster than his previous time.

• Nightmare run of H2M2 in 0:29, 1 second faster than the weeddmaster.
• Nightmare run of HOTEL in 0:24, 1 second faster than his just-sent 0:25.

Daniel Magnusson has done an awesome Nightmare 100% of E1M1 in 1:05, 2 seconds faster than his previous record! I dare say that it's close to optimised now :)

Nolan Pflug (not 'Peeflug', it's 'floog') did another Zerstorer run! This time he has done the Easy 100% of Z3 in 4:13, 1 minute and 12 seconds faster than Ilkka! Very cool demo, of course, all of his demos are.

Ingmar Poerner has done a Nightmare run of PIT in 1:11, 21 seconds faster than Daniel's 1:32.

The biggest pimp on earth, Mads-Peter Stubgaard is back! This time he has conquered his previous record of Black1 by 4 seconds to get 1:09.

Fredrik Lindblom has done a Nightmare 100% of COAGULA2 in 4:12, new to the tables.

Valeriy Burmistrov, probably the only Russian speed-runner has done the Nightmare 100% of PG4 in 0:20, 2 seconds faster than Arturo.

Martin Selinus or 'baby Horvath' has sent in another marathon. This time he has improved Sergi's Easy run of Episode-2 by 4 seconds to get 3:45.

Cooperative Demos:

Cameron Engles (call him 'fools') and my very own self (damn I've gotta take a piss) have done some demos.

• Easy 100% of COLONY improved by 17 seconds to get 1:01.
• Easy 100% of PIT in 1:23, new to the tables. Read my interesting point in the .txt.

The 'heavy metal' brothers Robert and Rickard Axelsson have done a couple of coops.

• Nightmare run of HIPDM1 in 0:18, new to the tables.
• Nightmare run of E2M7 in 0:34, 1 second faster than their previous time.

Daniel Hansson and Daniel Andersson, better known as D&D have made coop demos.

• Easy run of CLIMB in 0:24, new to the tables.
• Nightmare run of RD1M3 in 0:34, 3 seconds faster than Daniel and Mikael's demo.

Nolan and Thomas have done the demo nobody else would do! Nightmare 100% of E3M6 in 3:41, now do E4M8 :)

Peter Horvath (Mr. "I'm so much better than anyone else.") and Atilla Csernyik have improved the Easy run of PIT by 2 seconds to get 0:19.

The MP-Crew have yet again raped SDA with too many demos.

• 5-Player Nightmare 100% of E1M1 in 0:33, 6 seconds faster than their previous!
• 2-Player Easy 100% of E2M5 in 0:46, 5 seconds faster than Carl & Daniel's previous.
• 3-Player Easy run of CZG02 in 1:34, 7 seconds faster than the 2-player.
• 4-Player Easy 100% of CZG7B in 1:49, lots of mayhem! I love this demo!

Marathons - 8:05 PM

Nolan is busy, Evan should be ashamed of himself as he didn't do the update he was supposed to, Justin is probably high on something and I'm about to drink a helluva lot a beers, so this update is a little sparse, but stay tuned for more demos soon........sounds like something you've heard before huh

• Martin Selinus went nuts and did a run through all of quake in the blistering time of 14:02, improving his previous record by 1 minute. When I was at Martin's age I played Tetris on my dad's 286 with a brown/orange monitor :P
• While he worked on his marathon through all of quake he improved his own time in episode4 by 1 second to get 3:10. This is not the ep4 portion of the eall mind you... Baby Horvath is proving himself better and better all the time.
• Nolan Pflug did an EH through all of the Zerstörer episode in 21:45. It's sad that no-one except Nolan plays this mission pack. Give it a try you guys!
• Daniel Hansson did the EH through all of CZG7 in 18:51. I'm still amazed by the design of this mission pack. Why hasn't id software hired Christian Grawert yet?

Check the player profiles everynow and then. There's some new ones and some of them has been updated with new info as well, including my own! If you have a hard time finding the link to the profiles it's on the buttom of the Tables section!

Nolan's FTP will be out for a week due to vacation at his parents. Finally he will get some descent food :)

Wednesday, February 28th by Nolan

Half an update - 8:21 PM

Since nobody wants to update and I dont have much time, I'm going to just update the single player demos on easy skill in this update...

• Ingmar Poerner did his first demo in a long time; the easy run of the recently added "The Pit" in a time of 0:58, and the next day he improved it to get 0:54.
• Jonny Andersson did the easy 100% of the pit in 2:24.
• Jonny improved Shambler's run of chessp1 by one second to get 0:27, but then Jozsef Szalontai came in and got a 0:25.
• Arturo Garcia Lasca did the easy 100% of chessp1 in 1:08.
• Fredrik Linblom did the easy 100% of coagula2 in 1:39, but Arturo came in and beat that by 20 seconds to get 1:19.
• Martin Selinus improved his previous run of e1m6-the long way, by one second to get an amazing time of 0:24.
• Robert Axelsson improved Chris Longden's old run of e2m7 by one second to get 0:33.

• Daniel Hansson improved Shambler's original run of a3 by 13 seconds to get 1:13.
• Daniel Hansson improved his previous run of badland2 by one second to get 2:32.

• Justin Fleck improved Marlo's easy 100% of undrwrld by two seconds to get 2:00.

Also, the cheated quake page has been updated.

Run of the Whenever - 8:45 AM

Seeing as Gerald is out of commission I have decided to post a small contest for the masses. The object is to kill all the monsters in this level on easy skill and exit as soon as possible, using this map. The level was built by me in about two hours so it's quite pointless, but it is amusing. All your demos must be recorded using QdQStats and sent to me. Good luck running, the winner gets a congatulations email from Nolan, yaay.

Results will be posted at 3/05/01

Saturday, February 24th by Evan

Yet Another Virus - 10:11 PM

My computer has yet again been struck by a virus (probably from all my warez). I've had to reformat my entire drive and I couldn't even gain access to Windows to save the latest cheated demos that were submitted. Please check the cheated quake page and submit to me any demos that you may have sent. Also, I even received a demo from Will Marsh (he is still alive!), but that bastard Jozsef improved it before I could even post Will's :)

Wednesday, February 21st by Nolan

chessp1 - 1:20 AM

Just a note that I forgot to mention when I added chessp1 two updates ago. There's a bug in the map so that you can't get 100% kills on easy... there's one that's impossible to get so the max is 28/29.

You screw with the bull, you get the horn! - 6:27 AM

Coagula2 seems to be quite popular already, and why shouldn't it be, it's an awesome speedrunning map! It would be fun if more people followed Tim's and Attila's example and made maps built especially for speedrunning purposes (hint hint :)

Let's start off with demos done on coagula2:

• Carl did the ER in 0:11, 7 seconds faster than Shambler's run.
• But Baby Horvath (Martin) wasn't satisfied, he decided to do 0:10, which is a whole fat second faster than Carl. Way to go Martin!
• Robert did the NR in 0:15, using a different route than Carl and Martin.
• With Carl's route he was able to do 0:11, equalling his easy run. Who will be the first to do 0:10 in nightmare?

Of course no update without a few demos on CZG7:

• Daniel Hansson did the EH of czg7b in 4:16, 13 seconds faster than himself.
• He filled the blank spot of the NH too in a time of 7:50.
• Nolan did a very cool 100% marathon through CZG7 on nightmare in 21:47. All mission packs should be as cool as this one!
• While he did his marathon he improved Stefan's NH of czg7a by 51 seconds to get a time of 6:02. Very nice indeed.

It rarely happens that we're able to post 4 demos from the Rogue pack in the same update:

• Evan owned Ilkka bigtime by doing the ER of r1m3, 6 seconds faster to get 0:20.
• He did the NR too, 3 seconds faster to get 0:20. Damn nice demos!
• Robert did the ER of the boss level in 0:28, 3 seconds faster than Carl Lloyd-Parker's old demo.
• He did the NR as well in 0:50, which is 14 seconds faster than Carl too.

Evan's favorite speeder Jozsef did two id runs which kick major ass:

• He did the ER of e2m1 using the route that was intented by id software. He improved Ilkka's run by 1 seconds to get 0:45. I like this one alot!
• He managed to do the NR of e4m8 1 seconds faster than the ER and he beat his own record by 1 second too to get 0:45. It's getting close to be optimized.

And now on to the rest of the demos which doesn't fit in anywhere else:

• Shambler improved his old ER on z5 by 11 seconds to get 1:17. Nice trick in this one!
• Justin did the NH of bb5 in 4:28, 146 seconds faster than Stefan!!!!
• Valeriy did the NR of ik3 in 0:16, 1 second faster than Justin.
• Evan and his buddy Cameron did the ER on the newly added Pit map in 0:21. Cool trick alert....
• They also did the NR in 0:28. Same as above :)

Some new maps - 7:00 PM

Two new made-with-speedrunning-in-mind maps have been released at the same time. What are the odds of that?

• The first is coagula2-flesh by Elek, with a style similar to the first coagula. Shambler did an easy run in 0:18 when he reviewed it, but Evan has improved it already... but not enough he says :)
• Secondly is a map by speedrunner Attila Csernyik called The Pit. It's a medium sized map with some custom textures and interesting design.
• And I decided to add one of the maps that Shambler recently improved his personal speedrun on. chessp1 is a small metal map. Shambler's new easy run is in 0:28. I decided to do the Nightmare 100% and got it in a time of 1:28.

Now shut up and get running... Demos sent in the past few days will be posted later.

Wednesday, February 14th by Evan

Yet Another Update - 6:45 AM

Once again, the site previously known as 'Quake done Naked' has been updated with some great new demos. Among them is an incredible demo by Jozsef Szalontai, get this demo now!

Also, if you haven't noticed Nolan and I have made some changes to the side menu. Old sites such as Mineral's and RDE are now available through the links section. Finally, QDN has just been renamed to my name, windlash.

Single-Player Demos:

Justin Fleck is back and he's at it again.

• Easy 100% of CDESPAIR in 1:48, 18 seconds faster than his '98 demo.
  
• Easy run of H2M6 in 1:10, only 1 second faster than his '98 demo with no bunnies, not owned.
  
• Easy run of R1M4 in 0:57, 1 second faster than his old '98 demo.
  
• Nightmare run of BADLAND1 in 1:05, 1 second faster than his previous, again.
  
• Nightmare run of BC in 0:36, 8 seconds faster than his previous, near-perfect now.
  

Basil De Vries has made a couple of CZG demos for this update. Read his .txt files :)

• Easy run of CZG02 in 2:07, 16 seconds faster than his previous time.
  
• Nightmare 100% of CZG02 in 7:20, 4:40 faster than his earlier 12:00!

Daniel Hansson from the MP-Crew has submitted a few demos.

• Extraction of Quake demo files now 4x or more faster
• Added optional large toolbar
• Self extracting exe files work above 256mb, have less overhead, and warn when there's extraction problems
• Fixed all issues related to path column, including sort
• Settings are stored on a per-user basis if you use a multi-user machine
• Sped up opening very large .dz files
• Fixed problems where commands were selectable when they shouldn't be

Well, here we go again...another bunch of CZG demos:

• Daniel Hansson did the ER on czg01 in 1:51. Nice.
• Daniel also did the ER on czg7a in 1:26, 6 seconds faster than his previous record.
• And of course he couldn't keep his greasy hands off the nightmare run too. He did it in 1:40. Too many monsters to survive in his own opinion!
• Martin Selinus send in two demos of his usual standards. czg7b ER in 0:38, 1 sec. faster than Evan, and czg7c NR in 0:32. Download now!!
• Daniel Andersson decided to do his first single player record. He did the ER of czg2 in a time of 3:41. It's not as bad as he claims himself :)
• Daniel improved his own marathon through czg7 by 7 seconds to get a time of 3:06. Pretty good.
• Carl Tholin & Johan Nilsson did the ER of czg7a in 0:37. Fun run :)
• Carl And Johan also did the ER of czg7c in 0:26. Cool rocketboosts to the upper level.
• Nolan & Evan did the EH of czg7a in 2:59, 49 seconds than their previous record! This map is just amazing....great layout, beautiful textures, lotsa possible routes and very very good for coops.
• Daniel, Jonny & Fredrik did the ER of czg2 in 1:42. What a silly shambler at the end.....

Non CZG demos:

• Jozsef Szalontai improved his previous record on e4m8 by 2 seconds to get 0:46, equalling Ilkka's easy run!!!
• Timo Nieminen has taken over the 100%'s on e2m3. He did the EH 3 seconds faster than Justin to get a time of 1:17. Best newcomer I've seen in a while.
• Valeriy Burmistrov took the liberty of improving a record from the "Unbeatable Records" list. He did d207 in 0:09, beating his previous time with 1 second. Has anybody got the skills to do it in 0:08 ??
• Daniel Hansson did the ER of Lost World in 0:42
• Ken decided to do some running on the mexx levels which resulted in both the easy and nightmare 100%'s on mexx2.
• Robert Axelsson improved his previous nightmare run on d1m7 by 1 sec. to get 0:44. Hehe, it's great fun to watch those fast bunnies.
• Martin Selinus just managed to sneak in a few more demos for this update: He did both runs on bb4 in the time of 0:19, 1 sec. faster than Ilkka, and 0:19, 1 sec. faster than Marlo.
• He did a marathon through episode 3 on easy skill in the amazing time of 2:56. INSANE!
• And the last demo from him is the nightmare run of Hit The Roof in 0:45. Not bad.
• Nolan Pflug improved Stefan's old r1m7 NR record by 96 seconds!! to get a time of 1:35. Those fucking axes in the ceiling sucks major ass.
• Nolan & Evan did the NH of e4m3 in 3:46. Not much you can do to speed this map up, except for the end and getting to the first trigger as fast as possible.
• Daniel, Johhny & Fredrik did a 3 player ER of Networld in 1:04. This map is way too confusing...

Btw: please send your profiles to my new email address from now on thx :)

Lots of demos and new maps to run! - 2:13 AM

Update 9:55PM: The czg07progs that I oringally posted still had problems with crashing quake with No Free Edicts (the original progs were even worse). I've now got it so it should never happen again unless you try to gib every monster without pickup up any items! :) So redownload the czg07progs...

Attention everyone, both veteran runners and people who've never made demos before. It's time to show off the skills you may or may not have, by making some demos for the maps that I'm adding in this update. What better way to get your name and demo on SDA that to fill a hole in the tables, even if it is some slow time? The times that these maps might take will be long, because they're very big and have lots of monsters. FUN FUN!! :)

Anyway, the maps are the Insomnia pak by CZG; czg07a, czg07b, and czg07c. They were recently released and reviewed on teamshambler's site. Once I played through them, I whipped up the stats patch for them because I knew I wanted them on SDA. You can download the map pak here, but also download this progs.dat and use them instead of the one in the map pak. We've got a few demos already done on these maps:

• Evan ran czg07b in 0:39 on easy, 13 seconds faster than Shambler's 0:52.
• Evan also did the easy run of czg07c in 0:32, ten seconds faster than Shambler's 0:42.
• I did the nightmare 100% of czg07a in 6:56; 230 monsters :)
• Evan and I did a coop run on czg07b in 0:36.
• Evan and I did the easy 100% of czg07a in 3:48.

Since we already have czg04 here on SDA, I decided to add czg01 and czg02 as well. So that means 5 new maps filled with endless running possibilities! Oh, and you can do a marathon through the three czg07 maps too, if you're crazy (like me, I tried it). There's also still blank spots on the recently added Phantasmal Garrison map pak. To prevent sending in a demo that is slower than one already sent in, you should be sure to check the NPY section of my ftp to see what has been sent in already. (BTW, that stands for Not Posted Yet)

Now for all the demos that have been sent in recently:

• Daniel Magnusson improved his previous nightmare 100% marathon through the 1st episode by 57 seconds, to get 13:00.
• Martin Selinus improved Markus Taipale's easy run through the 4th episode by six seconds to get a time of 3:18.
• Daniel Hansson improved his recently done nightmare run of e2m4 by one second to get 0:56.
• Timo Nieminen has swooped in from somewhere to improve Peter Horvath's old nightmare 100% of e2m3 by 23 seconds, to get a nice time of 2:36.
• Martin Selinus improved his previous easy 100% of e4m2 by two seconds to get 1:09.
• Basil de Vries filled the hole for the nightmare run of pg3 in a time of 0:34, gettin an ogre to block those pesky bars at the end.
• Valeriy and Vlad Burmistrov improved R&R's easy 100% of pg4 by one second to get 0:06.
• Carl Tholin and Daniel Hansson improved a coop demo that Stefan and I did at speedcon, the easy 100% of e2m5, by five seconds, to get 0:51.
• Richard Skidmore shows that you can still play quake for long periods of time even if you are married and have an infant! He did the nightmare 100% through the entire PG episode in a time of 19:52.
• Jozsef Szalontai sent in lots of custom map demos:
  • Easy run of badland1 in 1:02, two seconds faster than Optic.
  • Easy run of bub2 in 0:12, one second faster than Fredrik Arvidsson.
  • Nightmare run of bub2 in 0:12 as well, and also one second faster than Fredrik.
  • Nightmare run of commctr in 0:39, four seconds faster than his previous demo.
  • Easy run of critters in 0:17, two seconds faster than Optic.
  • He did the nightmare run of critters in 0:17 as well, two seconds faster than Ilkka this time.
  • Easy run of earth in 0:55, four seconds faster than Optic.
  • Easy 100% of earth in 1:32, seven seconds faster than Optic.
  • Nightmare run of earth in 1:00, five seonds faster than [guess who].
  • Nightmare 100% of earth in 1:32, 15 seconds faster than... Optic? nope, faster than his previous demo.

• Evan & Cameron did the EH of pg1 in 2:01.
• Mark & Daniel A did the EH of pg2 in 4:15.

I'm 99% sure that I have fixed the cutscene bugs that were happening in the Phantasmal Garisson maps. If you dont want to redownload 3.2 MB again, well you can just downloading this patch. Now get running! Oh and if I haven't completely fixed it, just tell me so I can hit myself with a large object.
