Free interpretation: MAP 02, 100% kills on UV without picking up health

  I had the exam lmps done by the end of October (check the filedates
if you don't believe me) but didn't come with an idea for the free
interpretation until now.  Velox required me to change my playing style
a lot.  Map 07 in particular required many, many tries before I beat
the par time.

map03-ve.lmp: It was during this recording that I realized that I could
dash through the dark room with the spectres and chaingun.  This is a
trivial run with the only difficulty being all those chaingunners in
the water in the first outdoor area.  I wanted to hit the exit switch
fast but demons got in the way, which cost 2-4 seconds.  Dance and die
at the start.  Time: 1:39

map07-ve.lmp:  Not much strategy here, just kill and keep trying until
you get a good time.  The only trick I have to offer is not lowering
the platform with the chaingun as it provides some shelter from
arachnotrons.  Damce amd die at the start.  Time: 1:50

map17-ve.lmp: Probably the easiest hard if you know the tricks.  It had
me stumped until I watched Roger Maraga's Map 17 exam demo.  I mostly
copied his route though I did some parts differently.  It's not
necessary to drop into the pit with the pain elemental to hit the
switch that raises the bridge to the blue key.  As you can see from the
demo, I had time to do the dance at the start, fall into the lava the
first time I try to reach the red key, safely kill the first
revenant and the archvile only using the shotgun, and still make it to
the exit with 30 seconds to spare.  Took several tries in practice but
when actually recording, I succeeded on the second try.  Time: 6:30

map02dkz.lmp: Easy on normal UV but more difficult when you can't heal.
I skip the megaarmor too.    I hope that game designers realize that
removing health powerups may make a game more realistic but not
necessarily more fun (cough, cough, Goldeneye, cough, cough)  Four hits
in the whole demo.  I could have tried to make this a Reality demo (no
health loss) but I didn't want to delay any longer in uploading this
exam.  Dance is done after hitting the first switch but I mess up once 
before doing it correctly.  Time: 4:59

Author info: Well, I've certainly improved since when I startd playing
Doom2 back in 1996.  The first time I played Map10, I got killed by a
Revenant on I'm Too Young To Die.  I'm going to upgrade my computer
this summer which will also probably mean my retirement from Doom,
though that's mainly because of the new system.  Well, retirement until
Doom 3 anyways.  E-mail me at e_lin@coloradocollege.edu if you feel
compelled to say something to me about this exam.
