AT LAST, MY BROTHERS

The Doom 64 Speedrun has been finally uploaded to Youtube. For those who don't know, SpeedRunsLive ran a charity marathon months ago and Doom 64 was choosed as one of the main games to be showcased

This dude got a lower time compared to his (allegedly) WR but for some reason they aren't acknowledging this. Oh, and by the way this is a "Watch Me Die" run

DYNAMITE!

I think you guys might love to check this out

http://marathon.speeddemosarchive.com/schedule

Speed Demos Archive does every once in a while speedrunning marathons for charity, in the next couple of weeks they will be running the Summer Games Done Quick marathon like every year

Now, here's the deal. One of the brand new additions for this year is none other than Doom 64. If everything goes right and the schedule doesn't change, they will be running that game in July 27th, 23:30 central time. The best part? They will be setting donations for playing the game under "Watch Me Die!" in 1 hour and 30 mins. or less

If you have some dollaroos to spare, or you know somebody who love to make donations for charities, well, be sure to make this happen; I've been following SDA and their videos, and you might have seen some of their runs (more specifically, the Doom/Doom 2 speedruns of this year) and they're total bros. If you want to take a look at how skilled they are and/or the many jokes they often do during the marathons, check their Highlight videos in Youtube ("Awesome Games Done Quick" could be considered as a more serious marathon than "Summer Games..."; they often do SGDQ in somebody's house)

Also, totally off-topic, but I'm getting many levels of hype after seeing that they'll be running Final Fantasy V too

Am I supposed to be able to jump in Doom 64? I'm playing the Absolution port (I know EX is better). There's an option to jump but whatever key I bind it to doesn't do anything, and I keep finding gaps that are just barely too wide to sprint across.

Absolutely agree. I remember getting this for my birthday when I was 12. It was like I had seen the face of god.
