2. DOOM-related information
-------------------------------

Your DOOM config (key bindings, controllers):
S: strafe left
D: speed
F: str. right
Z (Y on german kb): back
mouse with default setup, I used very low mouse resolution (compared to other players I guess) and played with NO vertical solution (back/forward with kb/mouse button)

Size of DOOM directory on your HD:
:-) a funny question, I really should start to use that place, ... about 150 mb zipped (lmps only)
First contact to COMPET-N (when, how etc.):
Thomas Zlatko Zajic told me I should start that... (if I remember that right)
First COMPET-N demo:
no idea ... I uploaded a lot of stuff as my 1st action uv-speed doom2 entries, plus a short nm-run
Favourite COMPET-N demo(s) from yourself (the one(s) that you're most proud of):
VERY hard maybe e4m1-nm because noone will ever have the patience to do that again... pl09-nm is also nice... but I really cant say, I m not too proud of too many lmps as I often wrote in my txts, I just uploaded them to do the next thing...
Favourite COMPET-N demo(s) from others:
phhhh... pl12,13,14 (I dont know the exact number) -nm from Peo Sjoeblom, are one of the best ever played single - map - nm demos IMHO... I was rather impressed from the one, also I know that Peo has really played them ... plus various others, I can't remember
Favourite DOOM or DOOM2 map:
episode 1 from doom1, (I like nm play and these maps are the best ever for that), most doom2 maps are good....
Favourite TC/megawad:
Do you like Quake?
I don't know, the first release was ok, then I laid it ad acta to not start again a thing like doom...
What do you think of DOOM now?
I learned a lot about myself, expressed myself, but did it too long... the game itself is IMHO a very ingenious programmed sw-product (although I havent seen the source...)
Anything you want to add here:
Doom is ok.

Anthe is the undisputed king of Nightmare... Many consider him the most talented player of all time. He was the first ever player to complete all DOOM2 maps on Nightmare and the only one who completed E1M3 on Nightmare, 100% secrets and all monsters killed at least once. Anthe is probably the calmest player of the COMPET-N scene, I have never seen him excited in any LMP. BIG shame that he couldn't complete a 30nm run, the only really big undone challenge in COMPET-N. (If you don't count THAT guy - you know his name...)
