Free interpretation : Map09 - See Comments.
Comments : Map20 - Time: 1:29. I really like this map and
it was a lot of fun!
Dance and die after killing first guy.
: Map19 - Time: 1:52. Tough map at start. Most times
the spider opens the door and drives you crazy.
Difficult if your going for a good 'time' run.
Dance and die at start.
: Map12 - Time: 2:08. I tried this map 50 - 75 times
over a two day period using two different routes
and just couldn't get it done. Hurt-Me-Plenty was
starting to look attractive - remember, UV is only
optional! However, if I did it in HMP, my two
mentors, Peo Sjoblom and Yonatan Donner, would
never speak to me again!
I decided to figure out another route and, as you
can see, was successful. In fact, this route
didn't cause me any problems at all! My lucky day!
I was really happy until I realized I had put
myself in a "Catch 22" situation - I couldn't
honestly claim this title without suffering more!
I had to do another from the HARD set!
Dance and die at start.
: Map09 - Time: 4:03. I chose this map because par is
4:30 and I could feel better about myself for a
longer period of time before I got killed while
recording!
Actually, while I was waiting for my D2M exam, I
tried to record each map in UV with 100% kills.
This one gave me fits but I finally did it in 56:00
minutes and, while victorous, I was left with
mental scars and visions of "Time Sucks" just a
mere four minutes away.
So, now I was torn between facing my fear or taking
a shot at map29 (hardest)! I didn't consider the
others. My wife suggested I 'bite the bullet' and
do map09. She was afraid I might slip over the edge
trying to do map29.. doctor bills and all you know!
Final Score: Rich (1) Map9 (0). Gotcha you S.O.#%$!
Dance and die at start.
P.S. I hesitated in the yellow key cavern because I
had planned to jump on the suit immediately but,
in that instance, it seemed premature. Would have
finished under 4:00! Didn't it seem like I was on
that blue key lift for an eternity near the end?
Note: I've completed my D1M, D2M, D1SG, D1GM & this D2SG.
I have my D2GM, D1T, D2T, D1I and D2I challenges
and a new prayer book!
Author info : I'm 58 year old, have a lovely wife, a teriffic son
and a neat new daughter-in-law who plays Doom!
My thanks go out to Peo Sjoblom and Yonatan Donner
for their help, encouragement and excellent lmps.
These guys are superstars!!
