The "Impossible" Quake Record

Ойындар

Considered unbeatable for 24 years, this is the story of quake's most unlikely speedrun.
Chambers: @Chamburs
Huge thanks to Matt from @MattsRamblings for making the multi-ghost demo possible. His channel has some of the best Quake (and other!) content on KZread.

    I got the impression they kind of did have the right spot for their momentum and speed. It was a pretty direct route and the jump just makes it. With the extra speed boost however, the 2nd window long jump pays off. He has enough boost where he needs to start early and air strafe to avoid hitting walls/ceiling.

    Don't even compare this video to Karl Noobst's. This is presented in a league of its own. All Karl is good at is to, for no reason at all, slander people who are better gamers than him, such as legendary arcade gaming world champions. Karl is a jealous guy and I rate all his videos DOWN UNDER acceptable, just like his country of origin! It used to be an old prison colony so it is fitting that Karl the Unjust and Criminal is from there. It is no coincidence and surprise that he is getting sued all the time (rightfully so).

    This is the perfect speedrun video, you deserve the audience of the big time channels. It is the perfect length, with just the right amount of information and context to drive home the weight of the record without boring the audience. The tone both vocally and musically are fantastic, relaxed yet awe inspiring. If anyone else made this video it would be 45 minutes long, explaining the back story of every runner who has held the record for 27 years, over explaining game mechanics, etc. Great job, fastest subscribe of my life.

    This game STILL feels new to me and I remember waiting for it and waiting for it and it coming out and getting it for Christmas 1996 (still have my original fucking box and CD-ROM) and FINALLY being able to play it in Jan 1997 on our new Pentium 133. There is nothing else like this game. Then in the fall of 1997 my brother somehow got a dialup program to work in DOS and we got to play on the deathmatch servers and HOLY CHRIST it was LEGENDARY. I remember the massive improvement we got from going to a 28.8 modem to a 56k modem. Server IP addresses were gotten through the in game chat and we had the IP addresses on yellow post-it notes stuck to the housing of the CRT monitor. There is so much that is unexplained in Quake but it just makes sense. This video brought me back in time and a lot of memories hit me.
