Comments:
At first I was only going to do a Master title and be done with it. But Peo
insisted that I should get some more advanced titles, so here I am...
Velox was a pushover, as you can see by the file dates the three main exams
were all done in a 30-minute session. The Free was a different story... :)
MAP05-VX.LMP: Easy level, although the par is a bit short. I must have
done the first part pretty damn fast, because I fell off the exit ledge
TWICE and still made it under par. Dance & die at start. Time = 1:23
MAP11-VX.LMP: I just love this map!! The par time of 3:30 is no problem,
the only tricky part is surviving. :) This is a "Total Carnage" map
so I wait to do the dance until I have exactly two monsters left to kill.
(According to the rules, I don't have to do it at all?) Time = 2:04
MAP09-VX.LMP: Hey, this was too easy! You can really take your time on this
map, the par is so long, I had time to do the dance AND detour for the
soulsphere/rocket launcher AND repeated my wonderful map05 performance by
falling off a ledge twice (I think the imp put grease up there??) and STILL
made it with almost 30 seconds to spare. I read in the D2SG "thesis" that
this was one of the hardest maps but I don't think so? Only took 3 tries
(map11 took 5 or 6.) Time = 4:05
FREE-VX.LMP: Well, the one thing I dreaded was getting map02 assigned, since
I had never been able to complete that map under par in 100+ tries. But
since this exam turned out so easy, I decided to do it as a free. This one
is TOUGH!! It's a keyboarder's nightmare with many tight areas and corners
you can get hung up on, if you mess up at any spot, forget it. It took a
few hours but FINALLY I got to the exit in 1:30 exactly...with 1% health,
no less! Dance is at start of level 3, followed by very quick death. :)
