This video comprises mostly five demos, of which one was successful, for the challenge of scoring all monsters, items and secrets on Doom 2's Map 23 'Barrels O'Fun' from a pistol start without taking any damage, whatsoever; a.k.a. No Damage Completion. There is commentary throughout, most of which was streamed live on Twitch as I played the map.

Decino explains the barrel infighting bug in 'Monster infighting' (Nov 2019):    • Monster Infighting  
Decino explains 'How the BFG9000 works' (also Nov 2019):    • How the BFG9000 Works  

Thanks to Coincident for the transparent Doom 2 logo in the thumbnail.

Whether you love this map or not, it certainly is memorable. Hitscanners and Pain Elementals are the main sources of difficulty when playing for No Damage. The eponymous barrels caused Decino problems on Nightmare, but when the chaingunners have to wait a while after being activated before they attack on Ultra Violence, they don't blow up the barrels as we run past.
To further explain the fancy BFG shot near the exit: by firing a BFG ball due south, that ensures that after I teleport the 40 tracers fan out in a 90 degree arc from my new location, between SouthWest and SouthEast. This is why all the barrels in front of me explode, but the two immediately next to me don't (they are due West and East of my location). I'm not quite sure why this means the chaingunners don't hit me, though.

Sunday 23rd April 2023 at 4pm GMT + 1 I take on Sunlust Map 03 Live on Twitch. This map has several difficult fights and tic counting for damaging floor. It is FAR harder than a large majority of Doom 2 maps. I really hope you can join us in the chat. Enjoy!
