First contact to speedrunning (when, how etc.)?
In the summer of '98 I found QdQr on a hungarian magazine's CD,
and watched it immediately. It was amazing, and it made me so
enthusiastic that I started to make demos on my own.
Later I found SDA and started to make demos there.

Do you like Doom/Quake2/Q3A?
Doom: Not really, when I got a PC for the first time Quake was
already done, so I didn't really know Doom. I like to watch the
speedruns for it, though.
Quake2: Yes, very much, I love it. Probably not so much like
Quake1, but it has a really nice Single Player story. I especially
love its first mission pack, The Reckoning.
Quake3: Unfortunately there's no Single Player in the game, and
I didn't have any chance to play it via net so far.

What do you think of Quake now?
Just the same like others. It's the best game for speedrunning.

Quake Purity Test score? link
75.2%
