Dude. So I actually used to speedrun Quake back in the day and helped do some early routing/runs in QuakeDoneQuick and QdQ100%lite. I used to go by DooMfienD. Hearing the names and watching these old clips brought back SO MANY MEMORIES! Yonatan Donner and Ilkka Kurkela (and Perkele, Gunnar, so many) were always amazing to watch. I'm surprised I graduated high school with how much time I spent playing Quake.

This is brilliant. Thank you for this, Connor. I too thought that my 0:22 ER was questionable. Not only the ogre alert, but the jump to the stairs from the elevator was also a mistake. The idea was to land at the middle step, but I had a slowdown from the circlejump and decided not to risk hitting. Perhaps I'll take a look at improving it sometime

13:58 I am speechless! Ilkka did a great job, I actually started laughing, totally unexpected!
You surely did a fantastic job building up this moment, congrats!

Great video. I love how your intro about the open level design making for inventive skips leads into the big surprise at 14:05. Nice writing and insight.

E1M4 is my favourite map in episode 1. I love the way it connects up, and the underwater tunnels and subterrainean architecture play very well in the imagination. You make a good point that the interconnected nonlinear layouts of Quake which make for such compelling gampeplay are also what make speedruns interesting - so many possibilities! The nightmare run in particular seemed to make full use of what the map had to offer, and you made it really exciting to follow the progression over time.
One small bit of pedantry: At 2:16 you say there's no grenade or rocket launcher in the map. There is a grenade launcher, but its right by the secret exit so not accessible at this point in the level and not feasible to use at any point for an any% run.

Just to add some extra to the story, weeks before Elgu did the record I was trying on and off to beat my 18 sec run, I was sure that 17 is possible, and had several attempts where I failed the run due to the Ogre's wrong stun animation. Then I tested w/o picking up the armor and realized it was possible to survive the double fiend boost, so I continued going straight for the 15 sec run. Then Elgu came to the scene and did it :) Still big shoutout to him, lucky or not, this is one of the hardest tricks to pull off.
