Doom's Oldest World Record Was Finally Beaten! 

Displate is filled to the brim with AI art so if you want something legitimate be very careful while shopping there, also don't buy the framed option, they don't actually come framed.

Good video. I'm gonna get myself a Doom displate. Thanks for the recommend Karl. :)

What are your thoughts on Doom 3

@@MetaITurtle I never actually played Doom 3 because the look/feel didn't interest me.

​@ohhadivist AI is legitimate so itll be fine

thanks for that

@@karljobst No problem man. Love your videos too by the way, so does my dad.

Billy Mitchell is A liar and a wanker.

Rip

😑🙏🏾

How far did you get?

@@RaceBandit He is still trying very hard to finish the first level

Me (sipping on imaginary wine and wearing royal shit): pfft, what an absolute imbecile! How could he make such a silly mistake?!

​@@RaceBandit the title screen

LOL that's me in every video like this.

Billy Mitchell alt account 💀💀

​@@sellerspiano9811Milly Bltchell is dead bro, his funeral was held and paid by Karl. Let Silly Mitchell rest in pieces.

@@jaymxumay he rest in bed with you 🙏

The video is not about the 4 seconds run, it's about the 100k attempts to perfect it and also the 30 years history behind it.

@@fbgmerk8178 No idea where you live to think the dead rest in a bed but hey, if you wanna sleep with your mother so be it. 🙏

I hope you didn't get stuckmanized.

I find both of them fascinating due to the technical explanation, but I agree with you since one always ends in a sour note while the other just puts a smile in my face

Every "old record was beaten" video has the potential to become a "that person actually cheated" video someday down the line, though we always hope it won't.

SAME. It’s been 6 months man

All speedrunners cheat

​@@The_Omegaman That's just simply not true. Most people in the community are really good, dedicated people, and enjoy the grind.

I believe Billy Mitchell sued the fifth second for insulting his hair.

​@@TheFinalMBthis gave me a chuckle, have a like :D

:insert crudely put together video splice of the start and the finish of the level as proof of beating in 3 seconds:

I bet he could do 4.96

And get a plaque from Doom Guy

Wait, what colour was the doomguy?

I heard they found the tape in Osama Bin Laden's dumpster behind a 7/11

Now you're going to get sued.

Imagine caring about done Billy Mitchell drama

@@daddyfuse50 This is an account dedicated to speedruns and you're mad people are talking about speedruns

I don't get how people still say certain runs are impossible, especially on newer games that clearly haven't been completely dissected yet

"This task can really drive you mad! And 5 seconds [for the speedrun] isn't possible, if you do it I'll eat a horse", Demonlord 1995 (at 4:43 ) ... You are absolutely right, Heiko. There are people who regularly eat horses. What seems impossible for one is just daily basis for the other. Hehehehehe, have a good one! Nonetheless the achievements of these nerds are impressive and I could not do it even in triple time:)

@@Ultimaximus Well, at their core, these statements are simply emotion-based claims (or if someone doesn't want to be too harsh: "educated guesses"), ideas, forecasts and predictions. And the only thing that we know (and what predictions funnily can't provide) is the certainty that predictions are just guesses or partly a guess and therefore based on chance ... which makes them definitively unreliable and less important for anything. But who cares? That is absolutely basic human behavior. Everyone does it and this is nothing bad or good or something new, because every sane adult knows about it and should be able to handle such (superfluous?) calendar-sayings and remarks. This applies to all aspects of life and even science, where we predict something or postulate a model that may describe processes in nature (EMPIRICAL science!), which we then have to check with experiments and/or by observation. I hope now (after I generalized and complicated things, hehehe) you can "get how/why people make claims", hehe. P.S.: Oh and the guys who just tell nonsense because they do like everything BUT learning, research, the processes about science I mentioned above ... and don't care about of being honest to their fellow humans (like liars, scammers, busybodies, flat-earthers and governors of Florida) ... I don't have an answer or any clue why they are doing this or why they choose to be that way. Have a good game, Ultimaximus!:)

Yea but unless they are using a pc from the 90's it should not count, yea a emulator can be set to that but its still not REALLY the same. Doing these records on much newer faster better equipment should not count

@@dixiedad If the hardware changes anything, it's primarily going to result in making the game harder, not easier.

I gotta admit... Im a grown ass man but...everytime Karl does one of those in a vid... " And on the 6th of April 2024...This speedrunner achieved....this run"... I get chills. 😂😂😂

@@Vitamin-G85 same man. thats what im all here for since the beginning.

Happy birthday! Here's to many more, you ABSOLUTE LEGEND

Grats, I turned 35 today. I have a few years till dustification

Happy Birthday!

Congrats brother

Happy Birthday! I'll be joining you in the dreaded 40somethings in a couple months. Dust crumbling high fives

166 hours of attempts if you ignore load times

Considering the run is ~5 seconds, thats like 6 days of gameplay, lol.

100,000 on a fruitless achievment, what a waste

​@@42smash36 That's how I would feel and thus why I'm not going to even try (I hate grinding in general, so speed running is obviously not for me), but I won't say it was a waste of time for him. People have different preferences and want to do different things with their lives, like the guy who wants to cross an ocean in a gigantic hamsterball.

@@42smash36 Rationally speaking, _everything_ is fruitless. We make our own meaning. A thing or accomplishment is important to us, or to a community, because we decide that it is.

I think that's for finding everything and killing all the monsters

I heard he was angry.

Hell on earth that is 😉

Probably two now...

So you're telling me there's a chance? 🎉

I'll go look up some recipes!

he ate a giraffe now

looks like zebra's on the menu, boys

Nice profile pic! I love seeing that other people have played Oneshot, it’s such a hidden gem.

Usualy when I hear that it turns out they were cheating in some way

@@paixeon8816 Its fair to be skeptical, but 4Shock got this run on stream, and also has the thousands upon thousands of demo attempts from DSDA to prove it, so I wouldn't be too worried :)

​@@paixeon8816 cheating without getting caught in classic doom is definitely not happening The only way you could even cheat a demo file that doesnt outright give away cheating is a TAS, and well, pretty hard to TAS on stream the way 4shock plays on stream

​@@paixeon8816I thought the same thing but in this case I will believe in the truth of the matter simply because cheating in Doom is barely possible. And basically impossible without being caught

I find it fascinating that even people like me with zero interest in joining the speedrunning community still enjoy hearing about achievements like this. I'm guessing it's admiration for the sheer dedication from all those involved.

@@The_SafeKeeper Im happy that there are people like you out there with a spontaneous interest in this game. It helps immmensely.

Fr I wouldn't know jack about some really cool stuff if it weren't for Karl

​@@The_SafeKeeper for real. I have 0 interest in doing anything speedrunning, i question the sanity of these people practicing the same game/part of a game for years, sometimes decades on end. But ill be damned if im not going to watch every video Karl put out about it 😂

@@regulator18E I know what you mean, but it's just another hobby is all. The decades part is really just somebody growing up playing a game, then you get older and play way less, but still enough, you turn on the game whenever you have time and feel like playing, and just tty. But what gets me is that this speedrunning thing popped up all around the world around the same time like everyone startes having the same ideas.

That's what I'm sayin

I you would do a single run every single day. It would still take 274 years to have 100000 attempts.

You can cut down that number a lot because 4shock used a technique called "double restart" to get his quickstarts, so every other attempt is a blank 0-length demo. And after that something like 90% of the real attempts also reset within the first second because he had the wrong quickstart angle. It's still an absurd amount of effort, almost a year of grinding lol, but not every run is the full 4/5 seconds long

That's the exact same thought I had. I couldn't imagine doing anything a 100,000 times.

@@rubendriezen7177 well when you can do 600 attempts in one hour it doesnt seem as bad

@@WayStedYou well, 600 dollars versus 100,000 dollars. Big difference

And by "see it still going strong" I mean the community. They've mostly moved to DSDA, but even Compet-N is still up - kinda. New host and it's mostly read only mode, but the fact that it still exists after all this time is a feat.

He wants to go home and eat Doritos and watch Animal Planet

I would rather think he was rushing home to delete his browser history before the apocalypse peaked. Will we ever know? (Sorry if message is posted twice, but my message disappeared mid commercial after posting it, my youtube interface has really screwed me over the past two or three months, directing messages to wrong comment section amongst other problems and it only has gotten worse)

@@Curlyheart Are you telling me that doom guy is a vegetarian?

@@NullScar No he wants to watch animal planet to see bunnies.

@@Curlyheart Don't tell him about all the cat videos on RU-vid. I don't know if he will kill them or be mesmerised.

You should take a look at the community made content for the game. Still new mapsets coming out all the time. It's great!

Amen. I'm 57 n this ages me lol. But wow, this is so freaking awesome!!!

​@@Kepeskyou are so correct!! I love how this is still relevant after all these years!!!

Heh, I remember booting up doom on MS-DOS. Needed to type out the directory paths to access the game.

The fact that Doom is 30 years old and still one of the best games out there, that gets new content almost daily from modders shows how gaming peaked too early.

Todd Rogers is a better gamer

Certainly a perfect name for that record now! ;)

Up there with "but then x got this run" with "en aften ved svanefossen" playing

I Like Billy Mitchell 🎉

Hey dude, you didn't take down your bot virus link for your "18+" photos. Might wanna do that if you're gonna comment like a normal person.

The Chasm video is absolutely brilliant. My favourite video on RU-vid, by far.

@@yetanotheruser1989 Yop. Every now and then I watch it again and again. Love Karl's Doom series.

For me it was the Goldeneye records. Have a lot of nostalgia for the game. Didn't have many games growing up, but Goldeneye & Mario 64 were 2 of them. I played the snot out of them and know them like the back of my hand. I never got into the speed side, but it's fascinating to watch. I wish I'd grown up on classics like Doom and Quake. I remember sitting on the stairs to sneakily stay up past my bedtime and watch my dad play Quake Arena with his old high school buddies though.

All i can do is to offer my condolences, teeth pain is horrible

I hope you'll get better soon, dude! Have a fantastic day, legend.

Teeth pain is real. I hope you get some relief soon.

boo hoo cry about it 😭

Where can I find numb paint?

I heard he got a 2.97 on Entryway in November 1993.

@@youmukonpaku3168 That is hyperbole. It was actually 12:01am on December 10th, 1993. It would have been earlier but he waiting til it was officially released and back then they started the clock from when it said "DOS/4GW." He took a shot of generic ass hot sauce, typed "doom" and hit enter at midnight but yes with the modern timing system it was a 2.97. That part is 100 percent true!

Well, he did manage to become one of Karl's patreon legends, so I guess all is possible...

Zero Master

I cant wait to come back in a year and watch the video about how this was all faked

​@@SuperLifestreamlol it's funny, because it's not out of the realm of possibility. But, I'll sit here instead believing it's real

​@@SuperLifestreamor a 3 second entryway

Zero Master

Goat lmfao

It'll always have a community

Well, why wouldn't one of the best, if not THE best, shooter ever made not have a community? It's a legendary game that's stood the test of time, and no I'm not some Doom fanatic, I haven't played it in years, but I played it for years when I was a kid.

You mean Rodd Todgers?

You mean Silly Bitchel?

and silly bitchell :)

Which King of Cheaters? We talking about Impossible Dragster record man, the Video Game Cheater of the Century, or someone else?

@@sintanan469 Thy shall not speak they're name, for it shall bring nought but Horror and Despair.

Easy fix.

ah hey, it's you! i wonder if 4shock will ever go for 28 sec on IOS. i'm convinced it's possible now.
