Back in fall 2002 Speed Demos Archive ran a series of speedrunning contests on the first episode of Quake, Dimension of the Doomed. The basic objective was to kill every monster on each map (secrets optional) and exit, as fast as possible. To spice it all up every kill had to be a gib! Hence the name :) Here you'll find the official page.

So what is a gib then? There's a technical definition of Gib: when you cause enough damage to a player or monster, instead of merely dying they explode into a nasty pile of giblets. Basically, you blow a monster (or enemy) in to little pieces.

The speedruns were recammed and cutscenes and a weird (but funny) story was added to make it into a complete movie and it is finally ready for release.

The release comes in three versions:
1) The recammed complete movie (dotg.zip)
2) the first person view of the runs (dotg_fp.zip)
3) the quake archive for watching it in your own favourite quake engine. Compressed with Dzip

The Rabbit Run (or tRR) has finally been released. It's been in the works for the last four years and has finally hit the shelves, so to speak.

What is tRR you say? Well it's a movie of a run through the whole of Quake 1 on the easy skill setting in the amazing time of 10 minutes and 58 seconds. This is a two minutes and fiftysix seconds improvement of the last effort, Quake Done Quick Lite.

The movie was produced by Jozsef Szalontai using his own JoeQuake engine. Joe also made the SDA Promo video and I recommend you check that one out as well.

If you're interested in Quake 1 speedrunning, head over to Speed Demos Archives where all runners involved in this project hang out, or check #qdq on Quakenet.

I bet quite a few of you have seen some of Quake Done Quick speedrunning movies, for example Scourge done Slick. Out of the limelight there is a thriving Quake 1 speedrunning community that hangs out at
Speed Demos Archive.

To show you what the speedrunners of today are capable of, Jozsef Szalontai (one of the top speedrunners) has made a promo video with video clips from different runs and tricks made by prominent speedrunners and tricksters.

More movies will be released this fall, so this is just a teaser.
