Comments:  Recorded while listening to James LaBrie's brilliant
           new solo album "Elements of Persuasion" - this really
           pushed me forward ;)

           I'm a bit proud of being not too far away from Vile's
           godly run in 22:06 (one of the best demos ever, I can
           watch it again and again). 25 minutes is perhaps
           reachable for me, but never his superhuman performance.

           This is my 8th exit within three days. My first was
           6 minutes slower. Initially sub 30 was my goal.

           The chaos at the start is my favourite part of the
           whole thing. I love it to blast through all the
           monsters in my typical kamikaze style. So I die there
           often, but it doesn't matter ;)

           For the second chapter (killing the remaining enemys
           on the platforms) more patience is needed, especially
           when rocketing the archviles you have to be careful
           that no overlooked monster sneaks at your back. 

           The cacos and spiders are the first packs I release,
           because of the megaspheres in the corners. Normally I
           need at least two of them while facing the 10
           cyberdemons from the southwest, although I use a lot
           of cover. My heart beats much faster than usual during
           this hard, but great fight.

           For the last four packs I changed the strategy today:
           After entering the platform and pressing the switch
           I use the teleporter to telefrag the baron on the
           opposite part of the map, which makes it a bit more
           challenging, but I don't have to wait for all the
           teleporting monsters that way, which could save some
           time. But it didn't work very well here.
           Especially with the eastern archvile pack I still have
           a lot of problems, perhaps it could be better to enter
           this area through the tunnels from the central part of
           the map. Hmmm ... I'll try this route next.

           A great map! This will not be my last demo for it.

           I hope you can enjoy this :)
