This update features several impressive records, proving that even levels we had thought "unbeatable" could still be improved.
Tony Hänninen improved the all-of-Quake nightmare marathon run, a category few have ever done, to an impressive time of 15:00. This is 4 minutes 50 seconds faster than demo from 2005.
Conny 'jukebox' Wernersson started breaking records in April 2016 but didn't send any in until recently, deciding it was best to hit me with a large amount all at once!
