E1M1 - Authenticated at the start. Not much to say. It's easy even when the monsters are fast. E2M1 - Authenticated after killing the first batch of pistol dudes. The key to success it to get the shotgun as soon as you can. You should also avoid grabbing the blue key until after you have cleaned out the lower level. You get the drop on the beasts if you just teleport in without showing your face through the window. After that, just blast your way through to the exit. E1M5 - Authenticated after killing everything on the base level (on both sides of the door). I would have done it earlier, but I got carried away with slaying and forgot for a while (I did some window sniping before I remembered that I was doing an exam -- old habits... Again, the trick here is to get the shotgun as fast as possible. If you don't you're toast. Especially with the fast spectres. I find that just plowing through the creatures works best. Sometimes you can scoop up the gun from the shotgun charlie in the lobby... but don't count on it. E3M9 - Authenticated after cleaning out the outer areas (before going through the wooden door). After that, its the standard march through the monsters. In fast mode, the Cyberdemon plants itself quite a bit farther from you than in normal UV. So, you have to aim better. But, it is actually easier to kill it because the when it walks left or right, it doesn't move much so you are almost always on target and can just mash down on the fire key. I killed him before the invulerabilty wore off. E3M5 - Authenticated at the start. This is my free interpretation. Since I've run out of ideas for new things to do on old levels, I figured that doing a level that no one has done yet was the best say to show off my skill. The significance of this level is that I did it at 4am after working for 20 hours and flying from LA to Oakland, then driving home for an hour. So, It's like a really tired marine (which he should be by the time the Unholy Cathedral rolls around).
