*this is not a typo, I did this in 12 seconds.  My record is 11.  Watch
   the LMP to see how this is done.

Comments:  This title deserves it's classification of Epic.  Requiring  
  around 40 minutes of LMP time, and lots of practice, this is a truly Epic
  undertaking.  Unlike the  Swarzenegger(sp) title, which I 
  personally believe is near-impossible (as it should 
  be), the Lightning title is easily within grasp.  I found 
  the hardest episode to be episode 1, with episode 2/3 sharing 
  second place.  Three important things must be followed for any chance
  at doing this stunt:  1) the speed key must always be on, slowpokes should
  stick to the easiest difficulty level; 2) have a clear plan of 
  the shortest routes to your objectives, and run like hell 
  to them, 3) shoot only what you must, basically, what gets in your 
  way, and any Shotgun Charlies.  The worst baddie is the 
  Shotgun Charlie (Shotgun Dude), since no matter what crazy
  manoever you may be doing, if he gets a shot off, you are almost guaranteed
  to lose health, and when there are hundreds of them (as in Episode #1), 
  this can cumulate to fatal levels.
        I found the hardest levels to be 15, 16, 17.  All three require you
  to shoot >50% of the monsters (15 requires >70%), and running through
  most of the level.  15 is the worst, since the slightest diversion, or 
  the extra round fired can cost you the extra seconds that push you over
  2:44 (must be UNDER par).  16 is OK, if you use the trick to keep the 
  30 second door open (manoever a baddie under the door, then trip it, the
  door hits the baddie then goes back up, otherwise you're traped for 30 
  seconds).  17 is like 15, but not too bad with the right equipment, the
  right weapon choices, and knowing where to go.  Episode 2 and 3 are easy
  in comparison, and if this title changes from Once Only (which I HIGHLY 
  recommend), these are the ones to do, unless you're a massochist(sp), and
  like to re-record a 15 minute demo many, many, many times.

PS: Some info was ommited from my D1GM free LMP description.  Both my D1M
  and my D1GM free lmps were E2M2 with fists only.  But D1GM free LMP was
  done with FAST monsters (at the time I did not realize that free lmps
  could be non-theme, so I thought this was assumed).  D1M was done regular
  speed.  No, I am not so lame as to do identical Free LMPs for both my
  D1M and D1GM exams.  Sorry for any misunderstandings caused by this.
