You should not work that hard. Enjoy your youth while it lasts :)
Did some car testing and so far the fastest one for stage 0+1 is Peugeot 206.
Btw, there are 2 versions of U2 - EU and US. US has RSX, Civic and MX-5, while EU has Peugeot 106 and Vauxhall Corsa.
It's not your fault that mods accepted his runs without even watching the videos.
You SHOULD do that. Same for visual rating. Also, no need to discover shops.
EDIT: There's another thing. You can start stage 2 from any position (since you can end stage 1 with any of the 5 races IIRC). I think that all other stages end with a specific URL, but I'm not sure.
Basically, you can start stage 2 in any state you ended stage 1. Same for other stages.
There are already segmented runs of Doom 3, unfortunately no mod here cared to include them on the leaderboards. Yes, those runs are outdated, but nobody really tried to improve them as far as I know (Kibbo is working on a new NM run, though). As much as a lot of people on this site don't like segmented runs, you can't just ignore them.

SDA has no "bad" single-segment definition. That's just how speedruns used to be done 10 years ago. The reason for not counting loading times is simple - difference in PC performance and platforms. As for no restarts rule (that was changed later to "single-segment with restarts" category), that was simply to prevent cheating as much possible. Nowadays most RTA/SS runs are streamed and use mic, so SS category is no longer necessary.
Just some info :)
Are you sure it really doesn't work on modern systems? I googled it and found several topics about it. Popular games usually have support of its community.
Try lower frequency, different mouse, usb port, dpi, mouse drivers, usb drivers.
I had the same issue with my new mouse Razor Deathadder when it was running at 1000Hz. I lowered it to 500Hz and it got fixed, so maybe you have a similar issue.
Yay, congratulations :)
EDIT: Just noticed that 6:11 is with loads, so it should be sub 6 hours without loads.
You can't really generalize it like that, it requires a long discussion.
Hmm, you're sort of right about the part that segmented runs of Serious Sam are basically just a sum of IL runs. On the other hand, if anyone makes such a run, you won't see it in the full-game category. This is for example the case of my and TheVoiid's Serious Sam 2 run. We basically did all levels as IL, but it was meant to be a full run and it is listed that way on SDA (there's IL table with a total time at the end). But yeah, as far as I know, nobody has ever done a segmented run of Serious Sam before ImFuryPro. Everyone just did either SS or entire IL table.
OK, I agree with making segmented runs misc categories or maybe even delete them entirely, although ImFuryPro might get pretty pissed. It's your call.
If it means completing everything, it should be called 100%. That's sort of a generic category the speedrunning community use.
Btw, you can now create subcategories to sort the leaderboards :) In TR classics, we now use "Glitches/no glitches" as subcategory, so that glitchless runs have their separate records.
