Very happy my accident 21 years ago was able to inspire Stubby, and be a small spark towards things. Also glad I still had that demo to show you. Epic video as always! I shared it on my channel.

The calm narration is one of the biggest reasons I watch this channel. I'm so tired of everyone screaming and throwing sound effects around and it's nice to just be able to relax and enjoy a video for once. Please don't ever change that.

It's kinda cool that both Doom and Quake's ultimate weapons had huge bugs that were due to the original idea for the weapons that had massive effects on gameplay.

Wow, I downloaded Quake on its first day of release when doing my PhD. I can't believe I'm still learning its secrets almost 27 years later. Thanks for the great content.

Your previous video on the 6 second E2M1 record was my introduction to your channel and I’ve been absolutely hooked since. I’ve binged everything and your videos have me hooked. You’re doing great work with the in-demo cinematography and storytelling pacing too. I’d recommend maybe giving the audience an indicator on the screen in slowmo so we know how slowed down a clip is from the real run. Eg. “20% speed”. As a player of source engine games these are so great because quake is the foundation of everything

Calling it now, those opening guitar strums are gonna be up there with the Summoning Salt synths in terms of speedrun lore by the end of the year. With the artful slow motion intros, it sets the scene so perfectly and gives everything an incredible sense of gravitas, whether it's a hard-fought push for perfection or just a weird obscure bug. You've landed on the perfect formula and I look forward to those moments where a new video drop is gonna be the best part of my day.

I remember stumbling upon this mysterious bug myself when doing some modding. The vector math is so strange and nonsensical, like someone started implementing a feature and then went to lunch and forgot to finish it.

As someone who has spent a long time aim training for deathmatches with the lightning gun this honestly made my jaw drop. I've been playing this game for 10 years and I somehow didn't know this. I wonder if it was patched out in QuakeWorld?

I was born a year before Quake came out. I've played through it a while ago and learned its cultural significance stretches far and wide. In that time , I realized that although the in-game lore of Quake 1996 is shallow, the real-life lore of Quake is forever interesting to me. Videos like yours are excellent in telling its story.

I used to play as DooMfienD and did some routing/running on the original QdQ and QdQlite stuff. It’s so cool seeing how much the runs and tricks have improved over the years. Thanks so much for the video!

never played quake but i'm really enjoying your content recently and i appreciate the calm narration - a lot of people are hard to watch because they're just a bit too upbeat. script is nice and straight to the point as well. highly underrated channel keep it up mate.

Can you imagine being a lowly videogame grunt, waiting for your moment to shine, only to prematurely get zapped by a lightning bolt coming from absolutely nowhere

I was always so curious about this when I saw it in runs. Thanks for the explanation!
