Happy upcoming New Years! (And sayonara to the old!)

I'll keep this fashionably short and seasonably antique -- this week's MD(tm) edition focuses on true classics demos (but not *too* classic! After 2000, yo) in the spirit of a time when a whole new year is upon us.

The Dark Zone

Let's hit it off with this crazy DM6 duel part of the finals of Dualmania 4. Who were the participants, do you remember? dag? griffin? ParadokS? Thresh? nope nope nope a-a-and Nope! It was champii and miltonii, our two favorite finskas. Seriously though, this game (part of an outstanding double-elim finals, and moreover part of an outstanding *spoiler alert* duelmania) is absolute adrenaline rush. The fearless Milton with spot-on RL and vulcan-like mind reading abilities faces the fearless Xamp with no-joke aimbot LG jui-jitsu. Oof.

The Laff Zone

And now from a certain QW-compo, we have this absolutely ridiculous DM2 duel between Reppie and UL (with some fine commentary by ParadokS included.) Part of a bigger, and equally awesome 4-map match, this particular game is something you don't wanna miss for its sheer "ahahawtf" value. I guarantee it . (P.S. it seems the 4-map match link is broken -- but I have them backed up somewhere and will gladly upload them upon request)

Quote of the year by reppie: "I should have had some more spawn frags there"

Next week I will have all-new recent current fresh hot off the press material, but I think the above two classics are savory enough ... With QHLAN just around the corner, the juicy parts of NQR coming up as well, and a couple of other tourneys rounding off, there is no end in sight to the creamy filling.
