Yah, I know. What the hell am I doing a review of this map for when Cataclaw already reviewed it? Because, that review was a giant pile of steaming sarcasm, and deserves to be trashed along with this map Im about to review. Welcome to the world of SpeedSE, where your wildest dreams come true...then melt out of your ears in a fascinating mixture of blood and disintegrated brain matter.

As if you hadnt already guessed, R1CH really out of his way to make this one hell of a disgusting map. And it truly is. Paper thin brushes, horrendous texture choices and alignment, and to top it off, the standard fare of "R1CH Lighting", which means loading this map automatically entitles you for a handicap permit. Yes, now you too can park with the grannies, and talk about such things as shopping coupons and grandchildren. Thanks R1CH! As if society wasnt already messed up enough, now you have to go and cripple a whole bunch of computer gamers just to fullfill your sadistic desires.

Speaking of sadistic, lets move onto the layout (or lack of it). I didnt really know where I was going in this level at first, due to the regenerating spikers and the wraith bombs that just dropped out of thin air. After getting out of the Human base, I stumbled around from one multi-colored room to the next, wondering when the nightmare would end. Of course, I then came across the Spider base. I sat for a moment, watching that platform spin...watching the eggs spin...watching the spikers spin. All this collaborating with a catchy music loop, and a gargantuan *green* strobe light. I found it pretty funny really. It was one of the g'damned funniest things I had seen recently. After making that observation, I then thought about the rest of the level, and began lauging until my lungs hurt and my bladder became aggitated. Enter bathroom break, and end of reviewing the layout.

Creativity abound here. Sure, you think anybody could make a pile of vomit such as this if they wanted. But the truth is, only R1CH is capable of making such a map. Any other mapper with an inch of respect for their work would not be able to churn out anything remotely close to this. Trust me, Ive tried, and came up with lackluster results (unless you count tfh). One notable feature of this map are the great music loops randomly placed around the map. They go really well with the increasingly annoying multi-colored strobe lights. Its probably comparable to going to a rave with infared goggles on.

Im not going to even mention r_speeds. They didnt bother me nearly as much as the levels visuals, but I will say this. All those lights can hit your framerate, unless youve got a "Ripflex" system *groan*.

And now Ive run out of steam, and patience. Much like how I felt while playing this level. R1CH, you need to actually "try" and make a playable level. Youve proven that you can make maps that will benefit many eye doctors around the world, but how about attempting a real, honest-to-goodness playable map. Then when the horrible results come out, I can REALLY bash the map instead of reviewing a map that was initially designed to be horrible.

Seal of Approval? Sure! Why not have a little sarcasm in the review. Hi Cataclaw...
