@axiom098

how were you watching this in the nineties if this was done in 2005?

Lol. I love the vanishing Shambler at the end. He's all, "K bai."

Classic gaming at its finest. Today it's pretty much pointless to do a speedrun of an FPS shooters because they're usually scriped as #^&^#$ throughout entire game. Won't let you progress until script runs its course (e.g. crashing helicopter etc)

@Stimpy194 Oh, ok, then I am really wrong. Now that I read your answer, I remember that more people were credited in that movie. What really surprised me at that time, by the way, is that they were playing the nightmare skill.

[Stimpy194]

@iscand However, these runs were done by multiple people *and* by recording each level individually, which is a huge difference to this run, which was recorded in a single session and by one person alone! It's arguably a much greater achievement (in fact, it will hardly get any better than this).

[Stimpy194]

@iscand Sorry but that's incorrect. The original run you're probably referring to was done in 1997 and the total time was 19:49. Later the same year, it's been improved to 16:35, and in early 2000 again to 12:23, which is the official "record" that stand until today.

@g0dlike308 I think this is not the video axiom098 is talking about, but the video existed indeed. If I remember correctly, the guy in the 90s finished the nightmare skill in about 8 minutes (!). I repeat: I am not sure, it was a long ago, but the job was done (and better) already before 2k.

Damn I can't eat while watching this since whenever I eat a chunk of sausage I miss one goddamn level.

@HaiMrCoco i wonder if they ever wondered to put elevator music in it. That should spice things up xD
