This one slipped by me. Slipgate - Ninja

About a month ago, player "Chambers" did what many thought would be impossible, and achieved the first sub-7-second run of Quake E2M1 on Nightmare skill, 24 years after Markus and Attila achieved the first sub-8s runs on Easy and Nightmare, respectively, in 1999.

Video of the run here.

Some history of Q1 E2M1 speedrunning and an analysis of the run here.

One of my favorite maps, played normally.

I remember watching a commentary with Romero where he commented about how he put all the work into that map and people figured out they could beat it in 10 seconds like a day after the game came out.

He's been blitzing levels since wolf3d, so it's ironic he never caught that.

Like seeing the old records taken down after so long. I tend to prefer the 100% types, but the 'history' stuff I can watch and enjoy for what it is.
