comments:   Jesus goddamn Christ. This is THE best demo I have ever made.
            EVER. By DANG rules it's only 7 seconds slower than my 7 level
            run. By COMPET-N rules it's only 11 seconds slower than my
            COMPET-N record - even with the harder E2M5 and E2M9! If you
            took away the E2M9 time and put the E2M5 time down to, say, 0:33
            - quite common in an episode run - it's a 4:52...6 seconds
            ahead of my compet-n record and only 24 seconds behind Doom Done
            Quick :). Enjoy!

Individual level comments:

E2M1 - Pretty good run...nice to equal the DDQ time.

E2M2 - It's easy to do 0:16s here from scratch, but in episode runs you have
       to play safe with the switch really...takes a lot of tries to get
       E2M1 to 0:40 or under (which is the standard I needed for this run).
       
E2M3 - Owwww! This is an amazing run! In full episode demos, E2M3 is
       effectively from scratch (having shotgun doesn't help any), and this
       is just one second off the Adam H record! It took me about 100
       attempts to do a 0:30 from scratch, so I was kinda surprised when
       this turned out to be one :)
       
E2M4 - Not too happy with this one. Worst demo in the run probably. Had a bit
       of bad luck with the imps though.
       
E2M5 - Very quick. It takes a lot of nerve to do the pinkie room quickly
       playing from scratch :)
       
E2M6 - Not _bad_, but a little slow coming out of the red key room. I'm
       happier under 1:20 here.
              
E2M7 - Very good run. Equals my best time, both from scratch and in an
       episode run...

E2M8 - Woo, I was lucky to get the Cybie down with rockets here :).

In the text file to my last record for this run (6:33), I wrote:

Boy, was I wrong or what? :). In case you can't count (:>) this is a full
41 seconds faster than that run :). The very fast levels here are E2M1,
E2M3, E2M5 and E2M7. There's still quite a lot of room for improvement in
E2M6 especially, maybe 6 or 7 seconds and maybe 3 or 4 seconds in E2M4...
E2M8 can always be done faster, but you have to finish E2M7 with a lot of
health, and have lots and lots of nerve :). I've done 0:33 from scratch,
but...:)





------------------
Admin note (Ralf):   For those who don't know: for Compet-N e?m8 must be
                     recorded but only the times of the first seven maps
                     sum up to the episode time.  Compet-N does not have
                     episode runs including secret levels.
