Free interpretation     : Map20 at Hurt Me Plenty in 20 sec under Par.
                            I already knew this level since I did it
                            on UV as my free interp for my Doom 2 Master
                            exam.  Should have tried to do it under Par
                            on UV instead of HMP, but I'm more interested
                            in working on my advanced title exams.  Oh, yes,
                            I "pretended" that this level is a "Peaceful
                            Start":  I ran around to the back of the
                            guardhouse just south of the start to do my
                            dance.  The monsters heard me, but I could just
                            finish the dance before the sargent found me
                            and started shotgunning me.

Comments                : Map07, 22 seconds under Par (2:00), 100% Kills.
                            It was fun.

                        : Map26, 11 seconds under Par (5:00), 71% Kills.
                            This level is supposed to be "medium" but I found
                            it was much harder to complete under Par than
                            Map16 which is classified as "hard."  Note: I
                            pretended that this one is "Peaceful Start" since
                            even though the monsters hear me while I'm doing
                            my "dance", they can't shoot at me.  This can be
                            done much faster cause I fell three times. :(

                        : Map16, 26 seconds under Par (2:30), 30% Kills. 
                            This is a fun level.  I always liked grabbing
                            that Invul sphere and laying waste to all those
                            monsters that teleport out. :)  This level is
                            really not that hard for Speedy Gonzales purposes.
                            All you have to do is get the supershotgun so
                            you can deal with the revenants, then grab the
                            BFG and rock.

                        : Map20, 20 seconds under Par (2:30), 35% Kills.
                            This was my second choice for my free interp.
                            lmp.  I was working on doing Map13 on UV with
                            100% kills: a real tough level from scratch, but
                            it's good for practicing for a Doom 2 Tyson exam
                            since you need to use berserk a lot at the 
                            beginning.  I managed to punch out the lost souls
                            the imps and demons as well as a couple of
                            cacodemons in the building where the pump shotgun
                            is, and kill the revenants before I died, rather
                            stupidly, I might add.  Anyway, I decided to do
                            Map20 under Par since it's excluded by being 
                            listed as "Hardest."  I'm working on my Tyson,
                            Incubus, and Grand Master Exams right now.  So,
                            I'll save Map13 on UV for one of them.

Author info             : They call me Bowman because I like rockets. I'm a
                            Ph.D. student in philosophy.  It probably shows
                            in that I don't know how to stop writing. So, 
                            I'll just shut up now. (:-{D>
