    @Paekakboyz Pretty ordinary to be honest. Throw in 100kmh winds, esp with a crosswind component, a bit of windshear and it gets a bit more exciting. A typhoon, cyclone, hurricane depending on what part of the world. Or Wellington most of the time. I am told it can't be beaten on a good day which in my experience last one was February 12 1995.

    As for assisted that all depends what you mean. Yes they would have been using an instrument approach system to find the runway but as for an for autoland - maybe. The wind restrictions on that are tough and usually would only do it in fog (generally no wind - but not always). Have done autolands in about 150m visibility (in fog) which is unnerving when you see the runway appear at approach speeds around 250kmh seconds before you entrust a computer to safely land 265 tonne of aeroplane . Then when on the ground you can't see enough to taxi so they send a car with flashing lights for you to follow. New GPS is helping with the on ground stuff now though.

    Cheers @Snowy

    Love the insight into this stuff. I can image that trusting the machine/autoland must be a test at times!

    No doubt we've got some Streetfighter fans out here who can appreciate this (Even though its 20 odd years since the version I'm used to)

    @Paekakboyz You couldn't even script that level of awesomeness. Love the players reaction at the end.

    20 year old Doom speed run was just broken. 8 seconds for the first level of Doom.

    Took him over 50,000 trys over the course of a year. 16min 40sec if you just want to watch it, and not hear why it was so hard in excruitiating detail.

    @Machpants I watched the whole video and couldn’t wrap my head around 50,000 plays to get a few frames shorter.

    Weird what people focus on isn’t it.

    (Said the guys that’s been posting on an Internet forum for 19years....)

    I thought it would be a run where they actually kill everything on the way - that would be the one I'd like to see.

    I figured someone must have done that, but nothing I could find. Seeing as they are a few frames under 9 secs to get 8, not sure there is enough room to get under 8.

    @Salacious-Crumb reluctant?

    so in the US, they pay to collect your sperm don't they?

    So they will pay you for thier machine to do what it does?

    Am sure some people would pay to use that....
