Top Comments of this video!! :3
This clearly is a case of the timer not showing the actual play time.
But given how much complexity it adds to a run, I agree that it should totally be counted anyway.
The record being for "causing the shortest timer count" seems even more interesting than the record for "finishing the level fastest".

I caught that happening a couple of times when I played Quake originally after its release. I didn't know what I was seeing, thought it was a glitch (which it is) and just didn't think any further than taking my hand off the mouse. So freaking weird to see it finally explained sooooooo many years later. Thank you!

Honestly I'm surprised that the intermission screen still keep track of the stat at all times, instead of making copy of the stats and/or freeze it at that when the intermission screen shows up.
I haven't had knowledge into Quake source code, but maybe it's just reading the reference to the stats and a bit cheaper that way.

Awesome video. I remember being in shock when I first saw this being used, and then used it myself in a few runs. Love the bit at the end about two enemies fighting each other landing the final blow at the same time!! Would love to see a record that involves that one, but how many tries would it take to make THAT happen!?!? Haha.

Your pronounciation of my name (Peter Horvath) was fine, don't change it :). Hungarian pronouncation would sound strange in an English text, so I prefer the English-style pronounciation in English environment. Furthermore my name is "Péter Horváth" to be precise, but that would just make you more headache to say it, that's why I don't use special characters "á" and "é" in English. :)
