Free interpretation:
It's E2M1 on nightmare, found in the medium difficulty set.
Done by the skin on my teeth, the way a free should be.
Comments:
Okay, first of all I must apologize to all who downloaded my
first Incubus exam and noticed that my out of base level was
in fact done under ultra violence instead of nightmare. No,
I'm not that cheap, let me explain. Before I begin work on
a nightmare demo, I record several possible routes to get an
idea of the kind of resistence to expect, where the monsters
aggregate, and so forth. Somehow, one of these got mixed up
with my actual nightmare demo and that one got submitted. My
sincere apologies for this idiotic mishap on my part.
Now that I'm done grovelling, let's get down to the business
at hand. This is my second title, and my first advanced that
I've been able to complete. I've done a Tyson a while ago,
but I was unable to expand the base given the levels that do
remain. :-( So, I though I'd develop my skills at nightmare.
Overall, I'm just glad I didn't get something really terrible
from the hard set like E1M9 or E1M3 (but I did have some real
promising tries with E1M5, but that's hell too). E2M3 was too
easy for hard though. E3M3 and E2M3 in my humble opinion
should trade places in the base.
E2M8- Just arc around the overgrown man-goat and dodge those
damned rockets. I killed all the lost souls in the level and
since they don't respawn it was just cleanup. Things went
well, though some skulls gave me a big headache.
E3M3- Instead of finishing the level by it's shortest variant
(get the blue key and run for the exit) I decided not to play
it safe. That is, I make a beeline for the chaingun and then
shoot my way through to the blue key. Then it's fun making
all the imps splatter with a fully loaded BFG, but it did get
hairy when the invunerability sphere ran out on me.
E2M3- Things went okay here, but I did take some unnecessary
damage due to rather reckless use of plasma. That and for
some reason at the end I decided to kill the cacodemon with
the shotgun. Maybe that wasn't such a safe idea, but it did
turn out rather amusing so I kept it and moved on.
E4M4- After trying the opening yourself, you my think I'm
either nuts or a total jerk for putting this in the easy set,
but if you make it past the opening it's totally easy going
from there. The best way to open (or the way that worked for
me anyhow) is to open the first door and let the spectre on
the left come at you, but the imp on the lift will fire and
if your timing is right should hit the spectre. Then run for
the lift, leaning torwards the right, then once you're on it,
lean to the left and shoot whatever is hurting you. But the
success ratio to that was about 20% for me, but after that it
was a no-brainer. It may look like I don't know where I'm
going. That was the Jolt Cola kicking in. I'm sorry that my
movement was sloppy compared to the rest, but I really can't
stand this level now.
E2M1- I know it's only a medium, but it's so much fun! With
monsters on steriods it's rock and roll. I won't say much
other than I'm usually close to death going through this. It
was entirely on purpose. I follow Steffen Winterfeldt's plan
as shown in his D1S exam. While I'm on the subject, download

Author info:
Just another student hacker. I'm not terribly interesting,
but I have a dual major of mathematics and physics and once
in a while author a short story. Some PC games really seem
to fascinate me, like DOOM and the Wing Commander trilogy.
I've been skydiving, bungie jumping, mountain biking, and
camping in some remote places, but just give me an internet
connection and place to stay, and I'm happy enough.
