Map01 of DOOM II has finally had the 5 second barrier broken with a 0:04.97 run by the legendary @4shockblast, who you may remember from also scoring the first ever 8 second run on E1M1. This is an absolutely monumental achievement in DOOM history, as players have been trying to break this barrier for over 20 years since Thomas Panter's first sub-6 5.97 run in 1998 (!!!).
It's highly likely that Karl Jobst and other big speedrun creators will be reporting on this unbelievable feat in the near future, so there's never been a better time to get into DOOM!
In the meantime, you may see I've also uploaded a few of my old records to the channel. (Apologies if publishing them all at once blew up your notifications). Please give them a look! I've also organized all of my old DOOM runs into a playlist that you can also find on the main channel page. I still have a lot of records left that I want to achieve some day, so you can expect to see more DOOM stuff going up in the future.
Congratulations once again to 4shockblast for making history (again!).
