I lost a whole month...

First up we have some single player demos.

Tony Hänninen improved the easy marathon run of episode 1 to 2:24, two seconds faster than Elias's demo from earlier this year.
It wasn't long before Elias "Elgu" Solla took the record back with a time of 2:23.
Elias decided to tackle a slightly more interesting marathon of episode 1, the easy 100%. He got a time of 7:00, five seconds faster than Tony's run from last year.
Elias improved the easy run of episode 2 down to 3:26, five seconds faster than Tony's time from earlier this year.
Tony improved his own time for the nightmare run of episode 2 down to 4:44, 12 seconds faster than last year.
Elias improved the time for the easy 100% run of episode 2 down to 10:03, 11 seconds faster than Tony's time from last year.

Then some coop demos. Elias, Tony, and also Max "coolkid" Lundberg met up this summer and recorded some coop demos. Although they were sent in back in July, I'm only now getting around to posting them... but not all of them this update. Sorry folks!

3-player Nightmare 100% of e1m1 in 0:30, one second faster than the previous time from 2004.
2-player Easy 100% of e1m3 in 0:44, one second faster than the previous time from 2002.
2-player Easy 100% of e2m1 in 0:49, one second faster than the previous time from 2000.
2-player Easy 100% of e2m4 in 0:53, two second faster than the previous time from 2009.
2-player Easy 100% of e2m5 in 0:42, three second faster than the previous time from 2006.

That's all for now.

Well that didn't work, but here's some more

Tony Hänninen improved the easy marathon run of episode 3 to 2:38, two seconds faster than a Elias's demo from earlier this year.
Then Elias "Elgu" Solla quickly took the record back with a time of 2:36.

Tony improved his own record for the easy marathon run through all of Quake to 12:42, 7 seconds faster than his time from two updates ago.
Then just a few days later, sent in another improvement, taking the time down to a very impressive 12:26!
In the process of working on that run, Tony also improved the easy run time of episode 4 by two seconds to 3:03.

Maybe if I post a few demos every day or so...

There have been a number of Quake demo submissions since the last update. Unfortunately for everyone wanting to watch them, every time I'd think about doing an update, a new set of demos would arrive, reducing my motiviation to update. I'm trying a new strategy. Here are two demos. I'll try to update again with a few more soon.

The coop team Elias "Elgu" Solla and HiipFire got a one second improvement to the easy run of e2m2, to end up with a time of 0:29.

Tony Hänninen submitted a new time on the marathon run through episode 2. His new time is 3:31, 5 seconds better than the run a few updates ago.

The game keeps getting faster

Tony Hänninen has claimed the record of the most important category in the tables - easy marathon run through all of Quake. He did it in a time of 12:49, 5 seconds faster than the time from the last update just two weeks ago! I wonder what the response from Max "coolkid" Lundberg will be?

Easy run of hip2m3 in 0:36, 1 second faster than the previous run from 2004.
