4/20/03 Loads of nothing but quality this time around... so let's get to it!

Richie Agnew recorded 2 impressive maxdemos on Hell Revealed2beta Map32. Highly Recommended.

stx-Vile managed a full-episode movie on TVR!Recommended.

Ryback and Ranx exchanged some demos on Hell Revealed:

Modest soul, always advocating -timedemo to watch his demos.  Other demo communities *cough* quake3*cough* could learn something from that behavior.

He also did a nice nightmare speedrun as well as a -fast demo on Trydent.

I did a maxdemo on Dft.

Grazza also started the demostorm on Scythe with an excellent nightmare demo on Map11.

Cyberdemon, Varun, and I did maxdemos on Leaver's latest map, Rave.

Andrey Budko showed off some amazing skills with jHeretic. For those with patience for the Doomsday interface, these are highly recommended. Download / Mirror
He jumps his way to normally impossible times with some cool shortcuts.  For those less familiar with Heretic, check out more Compet-N-quality stuff at the Heretic-N.

Erik Alm released a very player-friendly megawad, Scythe.  I created a temporary page with a direct link to all the demos made up to today.  Get the skinny at the Compet-N boards.
note: Erik has replaced the old non-tallsky version with a fixed version.  I don't know if that effects the demos or not.
Great to see Adam H. recording...

Zoom, the new zoom that is, was created by Nanami and company; a promising racing/speedrunning mod for Zdoom.
Check out some early releases at Doomworld-Forums. Note, the demo-support for all versions of Zdoom after 1.22 seem to still be broken.  = /

-- -fast demos on Maps 14, 15, 19, 22, 25, and 28 -- Very Highly Recommended.

Varun did a good maxdemo for Cct.

Grazza:
-- 6lev -- 7 demos: 6 Pacifist, 3 of those are Nightmare. One -fast Tyson demo.  Cool trick on Map06.
-- topped his pacifist demo on Hellroom with a marine-scooting -fast pacifist demo. :)
-- more scooting, jumping, and barrel-slaloming in a good Gather2 Map04 pacifist run. (update: added a dl link for the wad)
-- Doomcity -- classic map maxdemo.
-- Enigmademo -- Map04 pacifist; and he also offers the following words of wisdom:
"Those of a nervous disposition should note that this map contains nothing reminiscent of Goatse. Those of a nervous disposition who have no idea what Goatse is, are advised to make no effort to find out."

Rich Sham kept up his support of the Bndaly wad-series with a good maxdemo on Bndalyt.

Gene Bird did a maxdemo on Bndalyr as well as two nomonsters example demos.

I did a maxdemos on a couple small maps:
-- The_exit
-- Dentil

This hx13-730 demo falls out of sync for me, but perhaps you'd have better luck on your system.  Shame, it looks to be a very fine demo.  =(

Lots of action at the Compet-N.

Congratulations to all the Cyber-awards nominees and winners.
Duke3d source released: this site has the first port for Linux.  Once there is a Windows-multiplayer version, I'll be macro-ing at every LAN!
I never made the correlation that Xvid was the open source version of Divx. Should blossom into something more valuable (and free) than Divx is.
DOOM3 won't be out until November... but we DO want them to do it right... right?  :)
Half-life2 will use the Quake3Arena engine.
 

3/17/03 I've been away for awhile but I hope to be back soon.
I'll return with a tune to show all was not lost on the naked moors,
where lives are hushed by the winds circling against ever-closed doors.
From the pubs of London to the hills of Edinburgh a jealous journey on the ecstasy side of tragedy. 
I watched my life fade away in a flash of a quarter century dash through the unguarded thoughts of habitual hearts.
And as the bleeding seer crawled from the ruins of the empire; and stood bleeding, bleeding on the border
he said, passion has led to chaos and now chaos will lead to order.
Oh, I have been away for awhile and I hope to be back again soon.
 

Many good maps this time as well, so get to watching!:
