other news:
 fx has resurfaced with some high quality deathmatch demos.
Radek has an ultra-fast e1m4 maxdemo at the compet-n (of course).
Very pleased to see Andy Olivera re-visit the Doom community -- without his page, this one would never have existed.
PrBoom2.21 released -- claims to have better demo compatibility than any other port.
(not to mention being the best win32 port)
New Styx map in /incoming -- always was one of my favorite dm map authors. 
dm_66/cpma0.99u2 demos are a pain in my ass.

Albert Valls and I did a demoset for the fourth Speedmapping wad.

    Infinity -- dated, but certainly a nice set of maps.
Varun Abhirama Krishna did a 2-level maxdemo on Square.
I played through Face.uk's new Legacy room-over-room map, Spone.
I also did a few lame Twilight Warrior demos. -- had to get that Counterstrike fix.  = ]
-- disappointed that there is no real sniper map...

If you were observant recently, you would've noticed that I added a more extensive Doom links page.
Still somewhat incomplete (and spartan looking) and forgive me if I missed an important site, Netscape kept crashing on me.
Really sad how many Doom pages have died in the last year or so... (However, some good ones have started, too.)
Lastly, I personally want to thank Claudio for the rare demos that he sent me recently.

18 new Compet-N pwad demos -- on all the Megawads except MM2.
All the demos from this update:  here or here (504 kb)

The Doomworld Speedmapping event every Saturday is fun.
QuakeSDA has a new Run of the Week contest. -- (I did a 13.76  blah, I suck at Quake.)
Cheated Quake page updated too.
Quake3Arena Point release finally came out.

All the demos from this update:  here or here (282 kb)

Other news: 
I forgot to mention last time that Arno's ip changed. -- check the above link.
I know this is old, but I still think it is funny.

All the demos from this update:  here or here (240 kb)

other news:
Contest results posted on Mission14 at the Pdang.
DMC for Halflife is strange, if not downright peculiar... (I'm linking Challenge-HL, because they already have demos for it!)
Ricebug has released his last Quake2 conversions of Doom. -- thanks to Rich Brennan for the news.
Why don't Counterstrike players use Dzip? -- Christ, I downloaded 200Mb of CS demos this weekend, that was a whopping 30 demos...
<rant>
It seems that all the file servers for gaming are either disappearing or becoming increasingly restrictive.
Webspace -- management, maintenance, and bandwidth -- is not cheap; but making this service prohibitively functional is not a solution.
3ddownloads (like all gaming servers) will have regular problems; and thanks to Arno, my site can avoid that.
The following links are all you need(almost) to use this site.
SDA - incoming // Doom_sda files // Ftp.cdrom.com -- wadfiles
Fileplanet is the focus of this rant -- go there and see for yourself, whether or not it is even functional!
</rant>
Currently my keyboard and mouse are broken -- I get frustrated too easy, I think.  oh well...
 

  6/5/01 Claudio Barba sent a very impressive Hrb map01 demo (the fastest yet) and an equally impressive Zap07 demo.
-- these are must see demos, IMO.
Donatas Tamonis did a very fast maxdemo on Eulogy3 - recommended.
Wim Vanrie is back in action with a Crusades Map01 demo in the fastest time yet.
Brad Spencer did a Loh map06 speedrun.
I recorded a maxdemo on Metabolist's Swlavcit map and a demoset for the second Speedmapping event.
Albert Valls sent his usual bout of quality demos:
   7 quick maxdemos for the first Speedmapping wad
   Qboard -- map01 maxdemo.
   Hotblood -- maxdemo / -fast / -nomonsters / reality maxkills (reality demos are always cool)
   Tstorage -- maxdemo / -fast / -nomonsters

Surprisingly, there are no new pwad Compet-n demos... I'll have to change that.
All the demos from this update:  here or here (188 kb)
(The previous update can be downloaded directly from here: 134kb) 

other news: 
Congrats to Vincent Catalaa for also acheiving a 30ns run.
There are several new -nomonsters demos (within the last month) at the Public Dang.
Jozsef Szalontai's e2m6_338 run is a must see demo for those who play Quake.
Finally bothered to get Counterstrike (I have no real internet connection, and this is online only, so I never played it).
-- the demos are cool; but the quality varies greatly.  If anyone has a demo (or 2) to recommend, I would appreciate it.
 

  5/30/01  Varun Abhirama Krishna did maxdemos for two of Tobias Münch's maps: Hotblood and Tstorage.
Albert Valls sent a nice maxdemo on Qboard map02... so I did the other 2 maps as well.

All the demos from this update:  here or here
(file is approximately 134kb -- if it is radically different, you are getting the old update; so use the other link)

other news:
Marko van der Want will be missed. He exemplified everything that was good about the Doom demoscene. Best of luck, Marko.
The recent Arno/Adam zdoom demos on Map01 and Boo are worth viewing.  I assume they were netgames -- I wish you could see their pings, or netgraph, or some information during the demos.
After some trepidation, I learned the truth about how to playback Q3A cpma 0.99u demos.
