Here's the "real" run, recorded through demo playback. I wanted to upload this the same time as the Twitch Highlight so that people could just choose the one they wanted to watch, but I couldn't really get it rendered in time (I had two failed viddump experiments). I finally decided to record it the same way I record all my Youtube videos, meaning there are some semi-frequent mini-freezes, like all my other videos.

Wad: Sunder (2009 Release)

Source Port: DSDA-Doom v0.18.0

Notes:
The Advanced HUD was used in this demo. 2 pain elementals failed to teleport in on map13, but other than that, all kills.
The big goal in this run is just to make it past map06. After that, it's just pure survival just to see how far you can get. I spent a lot of time practicing the platforming section in map11, and luckily I never fell there in the two times I made it that far. The fight at the end of map12 is really scary, but saving the corner cells in the middle can allow you some extra bfg shots before you run out.
This was attempt number 73, which I don't think is too bad. It was only a couple months of runs. I did have one gruesome death in the very final fight of map14. Play got really conservative in the last two maps, especially the end of map13 and the middle of map14.
There's still some things I cringe at in this run, namely when I completely fucked up the AV jump at the beginning of map12 but still made it anyways. Also I thought a cyber was dead in the very final fight in map14 but it wasn't, and almost buzzkilled the run.
I don't know what else to say really, except for thanks for all the other d2allers that are participating in this mini-craze right now and who had supported me throughout this journey. This includes Starduster, Daerik, David Asaad, and Nightterror. Additionally, want to thank all the runners who have completed uv max demos of the individual maps for giving me ideas for strats. Also thanks to everyone who came to witness this on stream, especially nbrocx, FrancisT18, el_inferno, Lucky_Edie, Jacek Bourne, conzmoleman, MarketAnarchy, MasterMedi, 4shockblast, and stxvile. Lastly thanks to insane_gazebo for creating this masterpiece of a wad.
And thanks to you, Youtube! This journey has been a great one for me, and we have managed to build up a positive, mini-community which has been awesome to see!
This is also the new longest demo on DSDA, sorry frinky!
