Old News: 
  5/21/01 Albert Valls did a very action-filled demoset for Slosh.
Varun and Karthik Abhirama Krishna did maxdemos on Varun's new map Anomaly2.
-- Varun's demo shows how to get all those very hard to find secrets.
Varun also did a very tight demo for the very tight map, Whouse.

Hell Revealed:
Some of Claudio Barba's handiwork... 

He did -fast demos on 10, 19, 22, and 29; as well as UV demos on 9 and 29. and an old nightmare run on 28.
New records in this package: 
   The Map19 -fast is a record by a big margin.
   The Map10 -fast is also a record... and an Anders-beater.  = ]
   The Map22 -fast is also a record and an Anders-beater too...
   The Map29 -fast beats his previous record time.
I did a episode 1 -fast movie in 59:17.  I see this run going a LOT faster when a real player tries it.

Some new Compet-n pwad MM2 and  HR demos. Including the first -fast demo ever on the hardest HR map by Chris Ratcliff.
All the demos from this update:  here

  5/18/01 Congratulations to Henning Skogsto on his amazing 30ns6936 run!
  5/17/01 Mike Toliver took on the intimidating task of making a demoset for Vilcore.  Fantastic addition to this page, thanks Mike.
Ilkka Kunttu did record maxdemos for the first 5 Dmonfear maps.
Karthik Abhirama Krishna did a Map01 10sector demo.
Albert Valls did some great Tyson demos on Loh; and a -nomonsters demoset for the first 6 maps.

Hell Revealed: 
   Chris Ratcliff is beating down the tables with a whole slew of amazing -fast and max demos.
       There is so much I could say about these... however, I'll just say that he has a close moment with a Cyb. on hf14 and the best demo is probably hf22.
       (even if his hf17 at the Compet-n is even better)
   Claudio Barba sent a new record for hf29. -- hope he improves this and sends it to the Compet-n.
   Albert did some near-record recordings on some of the first maps, including a tie with Radek's Map03 demo.
   Ilkka did maxdemos for 9 of the first 10 maps -- some of these are improvements over his last set.
   I did 34 maxdemos -- not all new.
   I added 3 ghost bug demos as well -- just for reasons unknown.  = ]
That's 50 new demos for Hell Revealed this time around!

Featured Map -- Crusades:
   Albert Valls did maxdemos on e4m1 and e4m3; as well as a -nomonsters demo on e4m1.
   Ilkka did a maxdemo on e4m1.
   Karthik did an e4m1 demo too.
   I did a slow maxdemo on e4m8 -- you stand warned.  heh

Some new Compet-n pwad MM, HR, and Requiem demos. Including some absolutely stunning -fast demos for HR by Chris Ratcliff.

Congrats to B100.Death on a victory that was deservedly earned.
Also, the Pro_q3a maps look interesting...
Hi Arioch!   hehe
 
  4/30/01 Chris continues to send impressive one-of-a-kind (or in this case, two of a kind) demos.  Demonizd was his victim this time -- the map with no equal but perhaps Vrack2 for sheer immensity.
Albert Valls did some speedy Reality maxdemos on the Loh maps.
  ... as well as some very nearly optimized Dmonfear demos on map10 and 32. 
Man, I wish I was as good as those guys...
Newcomer Ilkka Kunttu did some competitively competent HR demos.

New Featured map -- Crusades -- a Doom episode by Richard Wiles.  Without a doubt, one of the very best wads ever made for Doom.
-- my freetime will most likely grow very short very soon, so this will be the feature for at least 2 months --

A few new Compet-n pwad MM, HR, and Requiem demos.

Arno's server has moved. -- 213.93.213.170
Permanent domain names:  DoomSDA - FTP //  Compet-n FTP
This page might start doing something(or actually working) sometime soon....
 
  4/12/01 Chris Ratcliff  made my week with a excellent demoset for Darkening.
Brad Spencer, Albert Valls, and I did a variety of runs on Loh. Including a long and difficult maxdemo on Map05.
Albert also did a -fast demo for Ick a record maxdemo for Quikisg2 and Warcade2; and some record maxdemos for Relive. 

New Compet-N demos for Hell Revealed, MM2, and Requiem. Go check them out.

Hooray!
Arno Slagboom -- the man with the most useful ftp site in the world -- has dipped into his pool of limitless generosity and given me space on his server.
This ftp server should be much more friendly and useful to anyone using my site.  It will always be up-to-date.
He has already transferred everything for the DoomSDA from 3ddownloads to it.
Actually, I can't imagine that anyone who uses this page isn't already using that site more than this one, but just in case.
For those unfamiliar, you can UPLOAD all of your demos for the Pdang/Compet-N/DoomSDA to this site with an ftp tool.
So from now on, you can either email me the demos or upload them to the SDA incoming directory. 
Be sure to thank him for all he does for the Doom demo scene!

Bahdko has a very detailed information on every facet of Doom deathmatch -- read the new article on cheating.
Brad Spencer and I recorded some Zdoom netgames of Vrack2 and Hr25; which was fun, even with my slow ass connection.

I've had the pleasure to 'playtest' some of the maps for PlutoniaII and Slayer -- I'm tellin' ya; these are really fantastic.
Lastly, I'm happy to see cpm1a in the CPL.  It is more balanced than tourney4, and the demos are better.
