Free interpretation:  Pandemonium E3M3 100%s on UltraViolence in 13:12

Killing the first pinkie with non-Beserk fist, taking no damage. Popping a
Baron with a shotgun. Not taking ages :)

Comments:

The levels :    E1M4   10:08  Easy. 'Nuff said.
                E2M5   19:57  An ugly start (I've done better). The first 
                              shotgun is the key to a good start. I missed it
                              several times, but scraped through. I kept this 
                              demo because it proves the show ain't over 'til 
                              it's over...
                E2M7   20:37  Wherein I play "I'm the King of the Castle" 
                              with some pink gentlemen... You can stand there
                              unmolested, popping caps off at pinkies until 
                              you get a stitch from laughing so much. The 
                              alternative is to make a break for the Beserk,
                              but I was saving that for a special party...

For the purposes of these exams I have tried to walk forwards most of the
time, especially when I'm picking stuff up. I don't know about you, but
I get disoriented watching demos where the screen keeps flashing while
my POV is strafing down a corridor. I also tried to keep an element of
surprise in the demos, as if I didn't know what was around that corner.
I think it shows my playing style better. I hadn't forgetten, honest!

If there was a title for Doom Donkey, I'd win it :)        

OK, I'm a bit of a plodder, but I get the job done. I can't cure myself of
the urge to pick up _every_ item, and I habitually check _every_ corner, 
EVEN WHEN I KNOW THERE'S NOONE THERE! I must be paranoid...

My favourite trick is to get the DooMies to kill each other, but to do that
you have to suppress the urge to shoot on sight (it seems to annoy them for 
some reason). E2M5 and E2M7 both have some good scraps in them, mostly 
Baron vs. Cacos.

Sorry if these demos seem a bit rushed, but I have just been told I'm going
to be made redundant and that means I'll lose my Internet connection very 
soon. By the time you read this, my email address may no longer be valid.
I guess the D1GM title will have to wait...
