ZDaemon Thursday Night Survival #276 - UAC SUPER ULTRA MEGA

[Evolution]

Another November, Another bout of UAC Ultra. This wad is a personal favourite, and it's been just over 2 years since we ran it so I was itching for an excuse to re-rewind (when the crowd say bo). There'll no doubt be the same nervy battles and unfortunate mistakes, but be prepared for some surprises...

My god, so many memories. Uac Ultra was my second TNS and it totally blew my mind (my first session was Eternal Doom, so...). I still remember that day, remember how I had to move from one PC to another because people were going to sleep in my room, remember how we were all laughing at the crowded bonus map, remember how we switched to pain and it seemed so challenging, remember how someone spawned a helper bot just for laughs, remember how that Russian dude (Sr69something? confusing nickname) made a short video about the session and shared it on YouTube... These memories will live forever!
