Kai-Uwe Humpert

Kai-Uwe Humpert (born almost exactly 20 years before the release of Doom) is a German Doomer.

History
Kai started to play Doom shortly after its release back in 1993. First mission was to not be severly injured by those extremely fast imp fireballs and to reach the first map's exit alive. This succeeded far better after somebody discovered and showed the first trick: shoot a barrel first and kill the hidden sergeant.

Several month of excercise followed, followed by the first deathmatches over local IPX networks with hardware improving from a DX2/50 to a DX4/100 followed by the first Pentium - which was finally good enough to provide a decent frame rate even when hitting with a BFG9000 blast.

Doom II was released ("Whoa! A Cyberdemon!"). A first demo showed up (a successful run through Tricks and Traps). Which showed firstly, that there was a record feature and secondly, everyone was puzzled about a rapid 180 degree turn. Soon after, everyone has started to use a mouse too - as deathmatched showed it was superior to keyboard only.

At this time (back in 1997), Sven "Dasa" Huth found someone who collected demos. He had discovered Compet-n, which Dasa continued to contribute to sporadically and Kai a lot more. After some more night deathmatch sessions, they recorded a full 30 level coop run (with almost all monsters killed and only one late suicide).

Kai was also member of the team to create demos for TNT, Plutonia and Hell Revealed.

Kai's most favourite maps are E3M9 and Baron's Lair.
