We should use this in UV Max speedruns to fire a rocket at a cacodemon and quickly change to the chainsaw to stop it flying away! I wonder how many maps this could save time on?

Speaking of which, did you order one improved UV Speed + Reality for Inferno? Just sign here for a 7:23. Please name me as 'PJ Plays Doom' on the DSDA. ep3_723reality.zip

Thanks, 4Shockblast, I'm enjoying doing attempts again on complevel 3, hopefully I get a good one quite soon. Also, the change in complevel doesn't seem to be making anything harder, so my strategy didn't depend on the complevel 21 in any way.

Thanks, Grazza. I do trust 4ShockBlast, I suppose I just want to spot the 'desynch' for myself. I will be extra careful to specify the complevel in future. Out of interest, though, what sort of gameplay difference does complevel 21 actually make?

Thanks, GarrettChan, but I'm still not sure of the logic involved because I just played back the demo forcing complevel 3 and it played correctly. I exited in 7:25 with no damage taken. So how can I observe the problem myself? I just used 'dsda-doom -iwad doom.wad -complevel 3 -playdemo att2073faulty'

Hey 4ShockBlast, How could this happen? I know I typed 'complevel 3' when recording the demo, I really need to know why! I used dsda-doom-0.24.3 on Windows 11 and had a batchfile for recording attempts 'dsda-doom -iwad doom.wad -complevel 3 -warp 3 1' Thanks for telling me, I just am in disbelief. Also, how can you tell it's complevel 21, because it played back OK in my version, but I suppose if that version is faulty then maybe that explains it. I just need to fully understand. Edit: I just saw the recording of one of my Twitch streams and the batchfile didn't specify the complevel! For some reason I missed that command out. Is complevel 21 a default? Also, I still need to know how you can tell it's complevel 21 so that I can more easily troubleshoot in case I make such a mistake again in future!

Hi guys, it's been too long since my last upload? Yeah. Too long since Ultimate Doom, so let's revisit UV Speed + Reality on Inferno. Did you think my previous record of 11:29 was quick? Well, check this out...

A strange bug happened, the file I submitted above appears with a normal file extension on my computer but gets .zip.zip when I upload it here. I hope it still works. ;-(

Episode 3 UV Speed + Reality in 7:25, (cutting 4:04 off my previous record!) Please list me on the DSDA as 'PJ Plays Doom'. Thanks. ep3_725reality.zip.zip

I continue my Blind Run of Doom 2 In Spain Only with a trip to a winery in Map 06. Did I get Blind drunk?

Getting a decent microphone doesn't need to cost very much, but better audio quality is the main thing that would make you seem less of a noob at making videos. My first video makes me cringe when I look back, so don't give up!

Map 21 of Doom 2 really tests my Nirv(ana). Sandy Petersen allows the monsters to teleport around, but I did take No Damage in fewer attempts than expected. How many exactly?

Map 16 UV Max + Reality + Items in 2:08 Please list me on the archive as 'PJ Plays Doom'. Thanks. sc16mitems208reality.zip

Scythe's Map 16 'Burial Grounds' is not hard for No Damage play. But when I rush for a World Record Speedrun, anything is a challenge. I also invented some imaginary friends for a fictional live stream. Don't judge me!

Tarnsman likes harsh hitscanner traps, but somehow I managed to tame the threats in Doom 2 In Spain Only's second map. See the successful run & clips of 11 outtakes:

It's a return to Going Down and the ground floor of Cyriak's masterpiece. I needed to discover a new tactic to get the Mastermind killed.

There is some witchcraft involved here and I can't understand what's going on most of the time. Maybe Earth shouldn't let Doomguy back after he destroys the Icon of Sin, after all. Seriously --- well done!

Doom 2 Map 13 UV Max + Reality + Items in 8:13 Please list me on the DSDA as 'PJ Plays Doom'. Please also update Overmind's leaderboard entry to mention the Items (I got the Items because he did). lv13mreality-813.zip

I'm determined to take on some longer speedruns, because I have certain long-term goals in mind ;-) So here is Sandy Petersen's Downtown, cleared without damage as fast as I can. Thanks to Overmind for inspiring me with his 2021 record in 16:48. By how much did I beat that record?

Up the difficulty curve we go in Doom 2 with John Romero's Map 20 'Gotcha!'. That famous infight isn't very dangerous for Reality play, but the lost souls on the other hand...

I fancied playing a map I didn't know, and boy, did Tarnsman have some surprises in store! Lots of drama in Map 05 of Doom 2 In Spain Only...

Now for a one-off video. I like to listen to Doom soundtracks but couldn't find the entire Japanese Community Project music anywhere on YouTube. So here it is. Enjoy!

That Toxic slime tunnel in that Refinery has allowed me through without taking any damage! Find out how, and whether those hitscanners gave me trouble.

I played the wrong version of Underhalls back in 2020, so it's time to get a legitimate UV Max + Reality time on the board. Ancalagon's record is too good for me to get close to, but did I get sub 2 minutes?

Doom 2 Map 02 UV Max + Reality in 1:58 Please list me on DSDA as 'PJ Plays Doom'. Thanks. lv02mreality-158.zip
