*jaw drops*

Yes, you read right. Let me put you in perspective. On 14th September 2001, while trying for something under 1:24, I got an INSANE 1:19. INSANE. I had no idea I had that kind of playing ability in me. After that I quietly put my joypad down promising never to return to Villa Agent ever again.

I lied.

Last week I returned, and I since became addicted, playing it exclusively over and over. I had been doing that for days now. After tying my 1:19 twice, getting many 1:20s and slower, and royally bodging up beautiful runs over and over again, I had a VERY good idea of how the level worked. The movements were ingrained into my fingers - muscle memory. Just a few minutes before I got 1:16 I found myself almost falling asleep, as in my brain was kind of switching off, and then "waking up" halfway through the level. Very bizarre. Anyway, spurred on by Kingpin's challenge, I was going for 1:18, and half-heartedly wondering if I would EVER come close to Matthijs' 1:16. And then, on the single fastest, smoothest, sweetest, purest and most error-free run I have EVER experienced, everything went absolutely blissfully perfect. And I got an insane 1:16. I'll be updating my strat later... stay tuned. I'm off to party :)

Expect 0:06 Duel SA, 0:09 Defection A, and a total Agent time under 29 minutes sometime in the new year. ;) And did somebody mention the words "site update"? Overall total: 2:25:36.
