Description             : "Epic, being my first playable level and such, has
                         no definite theme.  At first I was thinking of
                         setting it inside a spacecraft but the level soon
                         got out of hand.  So don't waste your time trying
                         to discern a unifying meaning; it isn't there.
                         Also, for those curious about the title, it isn't
                         a reflection on what I think about the size of the
                         level.  I generally name my levels after a song.
                         Come to think of it, maybe I should have named it
                         Room a Thousand Years Wide.  One more note.  On the
                         difficulty settings, Ultra-Violent is meant to be
                         played with god mode.  Easy is easy and medium is
                         ok but UV exists strictly to work out frustrations
                         without going to jail."

* Construction *

Base                    : New from scratch
Build Time              : I'm not sure exactly how long Epic has taken--it
                         has been spread out over several weeks, being built
                         on and off.  My estimation is about 45 hours, but
                         that's just a guess.
Editor(s) used          : DEU versions 5.21, BSP 1.0
Known Bugs              : "None, but I bet if you look hard enough you'll
                          find one."
                         Three critical bugs involving sectors with zero
                         tags unexpectedly "closing" like doors, or rather
                         three instances of the same bug. The sectors
                         involved are 136 (the hallway with the caged Cyber),
                         36 (the east walkway that eventually leads to the
                         blue key) and 332 (exit chamber). This can get you
                         stuck and there's HOM.
                         Possible culprit is several doors (e.g. sectors 49,
                         52, 333 and 35) having either the front or the back
                         linedef pointing the wrong way, like both pointing
                         east or inwards. It is not clear why only some of
                         the first-mentioned three sectors can be affected
                         (and only sometimes), rather than all of those with
                         zero tag.
