Sorry about the somewhat small size, usually YouTube fixes it but it only results in a very shaky video (the stabilizing feature doesn't help). I suggest watching it in full screen.

So, I've decided to make a video which contains my map 1 to 10 runs of The Rebirth (on Ultraviolence, fast monsters, with 100% kills and secrets). Four of the runs are brand new, since I decided that the quality of the previous ones were too low:

(at 1:02) Map 2 - 2:10 (was 2:25)
(at 3:18) Map 3 - 3:40 (was 4:40)
(at 23:33) Map 9 - 4:56 (was 6:03)
(at 28:36) Map 10 - 3:46 (was 4:32)

They're all posted on the Doomworld thread at the bottom of the description.

I also re-recorded most of the runs using improved frame rate (60 p/s) and gamma settings (2). There were a lot of conversions as well as editing, and the final upload file is just under 3GB so this took quite a bit of time. :)

If you want to view a run for a specific map, here are the starting times of each:

Map 1: 0:05 (Duration: 0:48)
Map 2: 1:02 (Duration: 2:10)
Map 3: 3:18 (Duration: 3:40)
Map 4: 7:07 (Duration: 3:49)
Map 5: 11:04 (Duration: 4:08)
Map 6: 15:21 (Duration: 0:37)
Map 7: 16:07 (Duration: 3:52)
Map 8: 20:05 (Duration: 3:19)
Map 9: 23:33 (Duration: 4:56)
Map 10: 28:36 (Duration: 3:46)

The idea is that at some point I'll continue with 11-20 (actually there's already an upload of 11 but I'll also reupload it with better quality), including 31 and 32, do the same, and then again for 21-30. Lol this will probably take a few years.

I'm planning to take a break from The Rebirth though and focus on maxing Jenesis (there are three or so left), after which I'm looking forward to tackling some larger and more epic maps. Suggestions are welcome, but I want to play some Cacoward WADs and also keep an eye out for anything that looks nice, especially something without (m)any existing demos.

Overall I'm happy with how I improved over the last year or so. I think these were my best runs:

9, 8, 1; and I think 3, 10 and 6 (all new runs - in no specific order) were also good.

Personally I'm not completely happy with 5, 7, 2 and 4 (in that order) but I think they're still somewhat competitive. 4 was just my first exit since it was super hard and I had serious ammo issues.

In my opinion the hardest maps were 9 and 4 by far.

Thanks for watching!
