On Friday DooM II will have its 22nd anniversary.
This has to be celebrated with a big party!

Therefore we need every marine we can get, from a casual gamer
to speedrunner veterans. The goal is to play through DooM2
in Ultra-Violence from Entryway to the Icon of Sin. This is
a warm up for the ultimate challenge which awaits us after DooM2
on UV is beaten, namely, everything again but this time on Nightmare!

This will be done on a 1.09 server which allows everybody of us to
record demos which will be distributed after the event.

Mark this Saturday and let's have a great evening!

Really? As i know 4 & 5 are UV & Nightmare, not 3 & 4
Or in Zdaemon only four difficulties?

In zandro and zdaemon difficulties go from 0 to 4 cause reasons.

They also go from 0 to 5 in vanilla.

Yeah, how about a -skill 0 demopack?

Nice to see this again, I should be able to come. :)
Yeah, so time to place your bets... How many attempts on maps 11, 17, 29?

I guess you are thinking about nightmare, then my guess is: 5, 20, 25
Yes I am usually optimistic ;). I think the number of attempts highly
depends on how many speedrunners of this forum will attend.

I will try to remember. My bets 1, 1 and 1.

if you will attend your bet might actually be true and awesome :)

So... is it in about 20 minutes? I don't practice time zones.

Edit: Oh, so saturday... only read the friday part.

it will be in 20 hours and 20 minutes, I am sorry, it was a bit misleading.

We started with Survival...





...and ended with Deathmatch:




Demos from the session with playlists can be downloaded here: 2016-10-01_ZDS474_Demos.zip

Cool session. Map11 was harder than I remembered. On Map17 I learned a lot of new stuff, like how to avoid triggering the cacos in various areas. Then Map29 surprisingly didn't take that long due to JC's awesome efforts. The deathmatch part was funny. :) I've never used pistol so much before!
