Cool wad ! Nice demo too. I liked the BFG shot at this imp in the last map ! I think that you can technically end map 01 with 1% health since there's a berserk at the start of 02 ? Anyway, thanks for the commented video, and for making me discover so many wads. Keep going plz :)
You know, source ports are cool and all, but the original is quite a different experience. Of course, a lot of modern enhancements is what the best players would have invested in back in the day. (a stopwatch by your side, counting stats in your head, a dot on your monitor if you had trouble lining up shots, dos kludges for autorun and disabling vmm etc) I sometimes wonder if the same could be said for some other gameplay enhancements. (though most are of course inconsequential if we are focusing on speedrunning. This is my mapper brain talking)
I already liked and subscribed haha. Very entertaining video as usual, please keep going. Yes, that's exactly what I love about Doom. Everyone has its own way of playing it, some do glides or AVJ runs, others do short demos, strollers, Tysons, respawns, nightmare runs etc. Combine this with the thousands of levels available, add the RNG spice, and the game is just infinite. Of course life is perpetual evolution, but for now I can't see myself abandoning Doom. And happy belated birthday ! Mine was eight days ago, so we may have the same birthday 🤔
One thing that could be useful, is a guide on how to set up batches or launchers to record demos. I know DW has that thread about demos, and I know a lot of players stream attempts (like Napsalm), but I think a guide on how to do single level runs or even “movie” runs would be nice. Or perhaps if there is a YT guide already, maybe having that in the description.
I'd be interested in a video on the advanced HUD. Because I am of the opinion that it is the single biggest advantage that us newer runners have over the OG runners. The fact that Xit still uses the exe is wild to me. Dude is a machine.
Andrea, please be nice with my compatriot and friend Gandorf 🧐 Haha, very cool video as usual, it's always great to see that this kind of competition stimulates players to improve strategies and execution 🥇
Interesting video! MAYBE the history of this map is not over yet ahah. I need to get back to it. You did an excellent job with that 1:44, it's gonna be really hard to do better.
Cool video again. It's always funny seeing all the "I'm sure this could be under 3 minutes" comments when the current record is like 1:05. I think I rocketed the imps purely because it seemed faster than SSGing them lol. Side note: this map has a really easy void glide but I've never found a way to actually exit afterwards
I saw the angle when she opened the map and immediately loaded the map lol. Haven't found anything yet. Not sure how the wrap around thing works in the void but I seem to just stop. Otherwise there is just that annoying blocking geometry in the void preventing you from running to the exit
You could do quickstarts on DOS, it just had much harder timing that varied depending on hardware (so it might as well be impossible if ur not on a clunker). At least this is what I've heard from runners from the time. I'm glad dsda made it easier but when you need a perfect angle it's still incredibly annoying to grind out the angle 10 times per real attempt
Lol I'm sorry about the comments in my original 22. It was definitely humble bragging and it's embarrassing reading it back. I must've felt great after crashing the tic beating party 21 is definitely on the table, I wouldn't be surprised if ChaingunChaCha got one, he's really good. But if it's not also reality, is it really a victory? :P
this is my worst nightmare come true, a video analysing one of my crappy -2021- 2022 runs lol, i didn't know what i was doing back then (ok, maybe i still don't)
ok this video was rlly interesting and entertaining to watch, especially when i still half-remember the run, and i guess my old demo wasn't as bad as i thought - the route looks good even if execution is shaky
oh and i'm a full believer in commenting on my runs, on stupid short meme runs i might not bother or i'll just keymash but on something like e2m8 max i write extensively cause i'm a nerd and i like talking about things i'm passionate about so bless u for advancing the cause 💪
You put Andrea on the screen while playing my 2:13 demo. Otherwise very nice video. I may take a look at some demonfear maps since you pointed that out.
it was bound to happen at some point 😭 also, yea demonfear is great, every map can be tysoned, but i havent filled each one yet so plenty of room still
@@AndreaPlaysDoom Off the top of my head every requiem map by Adam Windsor has a chainsaw and no berserk, and also demonfear map02 has a chainsaw, so I think he likes to put a chainsaw in his maps.
i played a load of DOOM mods a couple of years ago, then i got a new pc so lost all my mods. i recently got back into them thanks to this channel. just thought id let you know :D . i love to get high and listen to you chat crap about DOOM!
would love some comparative discussion of earlier maps vs current maps in their speedrun qualities. eras of map making, trends, lore, etc. the story about E2 vs E1 maps is a great example
yea i tried it a few times but opening up the lost souls felt slow to me and the berserk wasn't useful enough, but i think with different routing it could work out better
