After making a hell revealed movie (which took almost 2 months to make) i got tired and took
a break from dooming. Well, this was a huge one. Actually, i almost didnt have a time to play
at all. But now it is summer, the sun is shining and that's why it is hard for me to go to bed early.
Guess where i spend these additional two hours of eveningtime :) At first i picked Scythe as a
potential wad to record a TAS-run, but after finishing the first 11 maps in less than 2 minutes i
got bored and stopped. Later i thought about making a run through TNT, but it was opposite -
many maps take minutes to finish, and waiting 45+ secs for prboom to run and skip to the current
map on my ancient computer wouldn't be funny. I've quit the idea of making a run, but as time passed
by, i slowly changed my mind again. It happened when i was rewatching Sedlo's 15plx723.lmp
(for a millionth time probably). It really is an astonishing movie, and that was the main reason
why i avoided recording on plutonia earlier - the idea of trying to cope with Marijo's skills seemed
insane to me (even with tools-assistance). And continuing his run looked like defiling the sacred.
But anyway, while watching the demo, i've noticed a pair of shortcuts, saving more than 10 seconds
each. And that was the day when i took my pl01-009 as a starting point and began to work =)
map01: I got a 10:03 after an hour, the last two tics were hard to cut out, but i managed to afterall.
I guess it took me 2 more hours. But hey, it was worth it !
map02: A copy of Sedlo's run, no new tricks here.
map03: A-ha, look at this little hole we got here. Step aside mr. Revenant, i gotta try to squeeze
through! This is a strange map. I got a 41:xx , then improved it to 40:7x, then rerecorded again
to get 39:31 which is definitely improvable. Anyway, it is a good run.
map04: Another copy. Mystical power stopped all my wallrun attempts, i don't know why they
didn't work :S
map05: Rather slow glide, but it's ok. I'm kind of surprised that it's 3 whole seconds faster,
considering i've recorded it in like 30 minutes.
map06: Waiting waiting waiting. Waiting for the barrels to explode so they dont burn your paste
favourite bodypart here, waiting for the door to close (at the button), waiting for the doors to open
in the end. That's how my first run looked like. Then i checked if i could leave any of these out. And
yes, i could :) I don't wait for the blue door to close, i close it myself! Genial! (hehe)
It saved one second, and that's when i became satisfied with my time here.
map07: Quite hard glide, it is very random and usually you have to spend few seconds to get through,
and then you get a flight to an opposite side. I had to rocket myself in a face a bit to get a good fall, and
it prevented me from SSGing chainers. At first i got :15 by killing chainies with a rocket and then getting more
boost by another rocket, but it led to a huge armor loss. Then i tried to conserve health using different
tactics of avoiding chainies, and finally ended up using only one rocket. Satisfied with a time, because
i couldnt even guess that i would be able to beat Sedlo's 0:16. Though it took two days :P
map08: Pretty fast! Strangely enough, the glide was hard to do, i've spent more than an hour on it and
had to redo it again, but hey, it wasnt frustrating =) Thanks to AV, he acted immediately on the first try.
That's what i call a teamwork!
map09: I remember that once i have checked the teleport place in wadauthor and it "seemed" too thin to
glide through. Yea, i can't count to 32 as many of you could notice :). I was wrong of course, and it was a
nice surprise for me to "find" that trick. The level became very short, but it was fun to run. Chainies caused
some pain at first, but 30 minutes of retries fixed that problem. The glide was quite hard too, spent 2 hours
on it.
map10: Very easy.
