It is with great pleasure that I introduce a new player to send demos to the archive. (Yes I'm still listening and accepting submissions).
Tony Hänninen sent in a total of 7 demos in the past month, all of which are marathon runs.
- Nightmare run through episode 1 in 2:45, 14 seconds faster than the previous record, from 2005.
- Nightmare run through episode 2 in 4:56, 51 seconds faster than the previous record, from 2007.
- Nightmare run through episode 3 in 3:36, 38 seconds faster than the previous record, from 2001.
- Nightmare run through episode 4 in 3:23, 8 seconds faster than the previous record, from 2001.
- Easy 100% through episode 1 in 7:05, 16 seconds faster than the previous record, from 2005.
- Easy 100% through episode 1 in 7:05, 16 seconds faster than the previous record, from 2005.
- Easy run through all of the Hipnotic expansion in 9:11, 2 minutes 17 seconds faster than the previous record, from 1999.
Next, there is some sad news I must report in this update. Quake runner
Evan Wagner, holder of 110 records, has recently passed away. I learned the news from his friend
Cameron Engles, also the holder of a few records, who linked me to a
memorial page.

Ring in the new year with some Quake
Max "coolkid" Lundberg has sent in an improvement of his easy
all-of-Quake marathon from last year. The new time is only
13:00, an impressive improvement of 37 seconds.
That is not the only run from Max, oh no. He also sent in runs of:
- Episode 2 in 3:42, a one second improvement over the previous record from 2005.
- Episode 3 in 2:41, a five second improvement over the previous record from 2003.
- Episode 4 in 3:06, a one second improvement over the previous record from 2005.
- e2m3 Nightmare run in 0:41, a one second improvement over the previous record from 2002.
- e3m4 Nightmare 100% in 1:19, a one second improvement over the previous record from 2008.
- r1m1, from Dissolution of Eternity, in 1:12, a two second improvement over the previous record from 2004. I still hold the record for Nightmare 100% on this level... I'm sure it can be whipped though.
- r2m7 in 0:51, a one second improvement over the previous record from 2005.
We also have some demos from Flávio "GinKo" Quadros:
- ne_dust2 in 0:07, a five second improvement over the previous record from 2006. The 0:12 run used a quadruple vore ball jump to reach the exit. Flávio just uses a slope to build up some speed and bunnies across the pit!
- The same time comes naturally on Nightmare as well, which is an 11 second improvement.
- blitz1000 Easy 100% in 2:30, filling a hole in the table - Flávio said he couldn't there for eternity, though I'm still waiting for the Nightmare 100%.
- eels in 1:32, a 12 second improvement over the table filler from 2011.
- Also on eels, two table fillers: 1:33 for the Nightmare run and 3:17 for the Easy 100%.
And that's all for 2013 - happy new year.
