Hello, this original video is back! I've recently found a way to mute the audio track that was causing the video to be no longer be viewable in any country. Audio starting at 1:06 :-)
hey mate iam a fan of yours. iam watching your videos since you published them. iam a little defrag noob from q3 transition to diabotical. please have a look at my turn at "defrag" th-cam.com/video/4XRoR29Nrw8/w-d-xo.html
Pro tip: watch the last freestyle sequence on a large screen with a fan pointing at you....I felt like I was flying, it was incredible. This video is insane and beautiful :)
It was completely planned from start to finish and took like 4 or 5 months. There's no way anyone can just load up the map and improvise a run like that...not even me, haha. If you're interested in more details about the whole planning of the run/route and the creating of the f33l movie in general: TH-cam search for "zoot w3sp" and find the video with "Round 6 (part 2)" in the title. In the last coupla minutes of that part I'm talking about Defrag and f33l in general, the background voice is KOS who made the f33l movie happen.
For somebody who spend 2-3 years on defrag this is so beautiful! The air control is just simply unbelievable! The castle is completely out of this world, especially with that soundtrack, so serene and flawless and easy (yet knowing it is just simply post-human skill) Loved the editing, but would prefer only first person POV. Bravo for both of you guys! DeFrag will always be in my heart.
Freerunning at the end of the movie still made my jaw drop ( playing quake since q3 test... ) I love the perfection and smoothness of your movement :) VQ3 Rulez
Your channel with the piano and defrag videos made me realize how much playing an instrument and these strafe runs actually have in common. Practicing the circle strafe jump very much felt like slaving away at a Czerny Etude. And likewise, both require very precise movement or all goes to hell. I don't think it's an accident that excellent gamers are material for excellent musicians. And of course the other way round. :) Hut ab!
6 years on and TH-cam brings in 60fps HD support, you my friend are almost the only person to have graced us with the blessing of 50fps defrag beauty even if you didn't know it at the time
This is such an amazing video!!! Beautiful, perfect runs and outstanding music choices. The last castle run is completely out of this world, that level of air control! Especially when you perfectly land between the tooth's of the wall. I could never get anyway closer to that skill, but watching it is enough :)
I don't play a FPS genre so often as other genres. Even so I've started playing Quake 2 weeks ago and have seen a couple of Defrag movies already but the movement you did on the last map was outstanding! I'd never thought that a FPS game can be so beautiful I can tell ya!
thanx for the perfect defrags and so good rare music in the video) especially castle tricks at 12:42 "Self Oscillate - Volcanology 3" its just amazing)
I don't like Quake 3, and just played it a little with some friends for fun, but i can't find the words to describe this movie, and your skills... Awesome, genius, unbeliveable!!! Perfect music choise and precise editing emphasize your sick moves. Flawless movie, 10/11points for me! :)
Kudos to you my friend. You don't have to be Pele to appreciate world class football any more than you need to be a world class Q3 player to appreciate just how good this montage really is. I ground my teeth on Q3 as an online FPS game and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I particularly enjoyed the pre-empted rocket jumps you set up; utterly sublime. All the best. Steve.
funny fact ^^ I was with a friend and I was showing him defrag. Then after some tries of him, I showed him this video, and he said : "Wait ... Is that Wesp the pianist ?" I was like WTF you know him xD you're so skilled man ! Respect :)
Syncing at some points could use a little tweak but still the video was superb and the effects also, Music choise was what i liked about this video the most. 10/10 from me! GOOD JOB!
I've seen this vid a lot of times but the last times I saw it (it was like 6 months ago) I was just starting to do pql stuff, and now I see this video and I just realized that you really are the pql God ! :o
I am a q3/qlive and LoL player, I wish I spent all my time on df instead...please never forget quake w3sp, you inspired me to get good at cpma and duel. The clip with the song oirectine by boc is really incredible to a point where it makes me feel almost spiritual or supernatural...I would donate just for seeing this video.. I'll always remember you
Sir, this castle freerun is breathtaking, with this music its close to spiritual act of human mind at its peak of concentration. Huge fan of this kind of performance altho I have no clue about defrag ; )
haven't seen this video before until now.. what an excellent job at the sound. (obviously besides the sick runs). what a unique feel ;)/sphere does this video has.
Most of the slowdowns are there for a reason, like the whole cityrocket run was slowed down because that is such an amazing run, nice to breakdown each rocket on the run. There were also a lot of people who wanted to see that demo at the time. The time still remains unbroken I believe.
My jaw was literally hanging the entire time as I stared in amazement. Good choice on the music too. I think I heard Amon Tobin and Boards of Canada in there.
the castle run is making me weep. e: after actually loading up the map, jumping around a bit and then revisiting this movie it makes me weep even more.
Awesome video. I'm actually the maker of run_cheez4...I can't believe I left a ledge in that last room you could walk on. I guess I never thought about throwing a grenade before the weapon reset. Well done!
Hey ***** Ich bin damals zufällig auf den DeFrag mod gestoßen. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es sowas überhaupt gibt und ich war 16?. Dann habe ich es mit "Openarena" ausprobiert, da gab es auch nen Defrag mod. (Für das Spiel Quake braucht man einen halben Gamer und einen halben Programmierer). Ich kannte keine commands usw.) Auf jeden Fall, wenn mal Geschwindigkeiten über 1000 u Zustande kamen hat es mir echt Spaß gemacht. Nicht zu erwähnen, dass ich 3/4 der Maps nicht schaffen konnte, weil Defrag der härteste Mod überhaupt ist. Ich musste mir andere Defrags auf denselben Maps, die du gespielt hast erstmal ansehen und mich damit auseinandersetzen, damit ich verstehen konnte, was für einen Meisterstück dieses Video ist :). Ja Schade, dass den Defrag so wenig Leute kennen, das ist irgendwie wie Kunst. Schade, dass du nach 2008 aufgehört hast, aber ich wünsche dir alles gute !!!!
+GWCNS Didn't really have anything to do with youtube tbh, all good movie makers upload the movie separately. TH-cam is basically a shitty preview although many people settle for it.
It's a shame this has sub-40k views [probably more with downloads and other streaming sites], it deserves a lot more. I honestly think defrag is one of the - if not the - most 'watchable' type of gaming video; it looks impressive even for non-players. And this is easily one of the best videos.
mind blown.... I'm a QL noob who haven't really been in touch with the q3a community at all, I played it a bit as a kid and got mowed down hard. :p Really amazing to see how much awesome stuff I've missed that the q3a community gave birth too, it's a shame stuff like this wasn't/couldn't be brought over to QL. But now I'm itching to download some of this stuff and fire up my good old q3a to try it out for myself. :)

Hello, this original video is back! I've recently found a way to mute the audio track that was causing the video to be no longer be viewable in any country. Audio starting at 1:06 :-)
thank you so much! been waiting for so longfor this video to come back
Thank you for doing this
hey mate iam a fan of yours. iam watching your videos since you published them. iam a little defrag noob from q3 transition to diabotical. please have a look at my turn at "defrag" th-cam.com/video/4XRoR29Nrw8/w-d-xo.html
So it was that Amon Tobin rights must be owned by some crappy publisher
fuck yes, thank you
The last 4 minutes of free style (nay, self expression) goes on the list of "most impressive things I have seen done in a video game".
Always come back to this bad boy for a watch every now and then love the editing
+world grinder KOS really did an amazing job doing the movie :) Once I have a TV I'll probably re-watch this movie again :)
i also keep coming back due to the editing, its spectacular :D
Edgiest soundtrack for a frag/defrag movie I've ever heard. Amazing runs and editing/compositing considering the year it was made.
Pro tip: watch the last freestyle sequence on a large screen with a fan pointing at you....I felt like I was flying, it was incredible. This video is insane and beautiful :)
I bet I've already left a comment years ago but I have to say this is still one of the best videos about computer games. Hypnotizing.
lol did you just compare this movie to that fucking animated gif? lmao opinion discarded
lmfao
you already have. it’s 2020 now
Ive often wondered... that last bit of the video in the castle. Was that pure improv? Or a planned route?
It was completely planned from start to finish and took like 4 or 5 months. There's no way anyone can just load up the map and improvise a run like that...not even me, haha.
If you're interested in more details about the whole planning of the run/route and the creating of the f33l movie in general:

***** THAT WAS AMAZING MAN!!! LEGEND.

wtf dude, just hurt my foot when my jaw fell from the table to the flore! absolutly perfect =D
Hehe...thanks! :)
+Muselk Very surprised to see you here, Muselk!
watched this at least 9-10 times. still amazes each time i watch it. amazing video
idkwhattosayxD Thanks
coming back to this video after 10 years. it really still does go hard
All these jumps, and I can't even strafe jump in Quake 3 or mastered rocket jumping in TF2.
You are the holy shit, my friend.
Will always come back to this gem. Give me the nostalgic feel of when I used to trick jump for hours as a kid
For somebody who spend 2-3 years on defrag this is so beautiful! The air control is just simply unbelievable!
The castle is completely out of this world, especially with that soundtrack, so serene and flawless and easy (yet knowing it is just simply post-human skill)
Loved the editing, but would prefer only first person POV.
Bravo for both of you guys!
DeFrag will always be in my heart.

Hut ab!
8 years later still listening to Boards of Canada thanks to this vid 💕💕💕
6 years on and TH-cam brings in 60fps HD support, you my friend are almost the only person to have graced us with the blessing of 50fps defrag beauty even if you didn't know it at the time
this is just too good even after 14 years what a masterpiece
Good ol' nostalgia trip that can still be watched every few years.
So relaxing, i could see you doing this during hours w3sp... 12:41
This is such an amazing video!!!
Beautiful, perfect runs and outstanding music choices.
The last castle run is completely out of this world, that level of air control! Especially when you perfectly land between the tooth's of the wall.
I could never get anyway closer to that skill, but watching it is enough :)
I have never seen a video where boards of Canada fit so well. So lonely so beautiful. Amazing runs great ending.
I remember the day this came out. I'm still trying to play this damn game! Cheers for providing 10 years of inspiring runs
I don't play a FPS genre so often as other genres. Even so I've started playing Quake 2 weeks ago and have seen a couple of Defrag movies already but the movement you did on the last map was outstanding! I'd never thought that a FPS game can be so beautiful I can tell ya!
I'd like to thank you, man - this video introduced me to Boards of Canada, by now my favorite electronic duo c:
I don't know which I like better, the gameplay or the choice of music. Amazing video.
absolutely amazing. I cant count how many times ive watched this, top notch editing, music, and footage.
thanx for the perfect defrags and so good rare music in the video) especially castle tricks at 12:42
"Self Oscillate - Volcanology 3" its just amazing)
Watching this regularly in years and my mind still can't take the castle part.
same.
the world greatest quake 3 demo. :D
same
I don't like Quake 3, and just played it a little with some friends for fun, but i can't find the words to describe this movie, and your skills... Awesome, genius, unbeliveable!!! Perfect music choise and precise editing emphasize your sick moves. Flawless movie, 10/11points for me! :)
If I ever have a child I am going to show them that castle run @ the end.
Kudos to you my friend. You don't have to be Pele to appreciate world class football any more than you need to be a world class Q3 player to appreciate just how good this montage really is. I ground my teeth on Q3 as an online FPS game and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I particularly enjoyed the pre-empted rocket jumps you set up; utterly sublime. All the best. Steve.
funny fact ^^
I was with a friend and I was showing him defrag. Then after some tries of him, I showed him this video, and he said : "Wait ... Is that Wesp the pianist ?" I was like WTF you know him xD
you're so skilled man ! Respect :)
Haha thx, funny fact indeed =)
The best defrag movie i've ever seen.
You're genius.
Syncing at some points could use a little tweak but still the video was superb and the effects also, Music choise was what i liked about this video the most.
10/10 from me! GOOD JOB!
Your castlerun is now my windows wallpaper, you are true master of q3.
Damn, this is one of the best made videos I've ever seen. I wish I played some Quake 3 in my day.
Shreds my mind. Amazing art. Can't deal with it. Much feels.
I've got to agree. What you did on that castle map was ridiculously awesome.
I always love the quality of the maps used in these videos
This is a work of art
shame we dont get to see you quake anymore w3sp, love all your vids
I always come back to this video
This is unreal. Cant believe the movement at the end.. Never seen skill like it. Flawless.
Damn, i really like your videos man. Music fits with video really good :>
the songs, the jumps, the maps, all epic win
I'm always so jelly if I see your defrag movies (lol i've watched all more then 10 times now xD) god so jelly!!!! Gimme your defrag skills >.
Incredible! That part in the end is the best!
the last run is epic, I remember when I saw it for the first time, nice to see it again...great work
I've seen this vid a lot of times but the last times I saw it (it was like 6 months ago) I was just starting to do pql stuff, and now I see this video and I just realized that you really are the pql God ! :o
C P M
P
M
Not PQL.
man w3sp it's a pleasure watching your runs. i miss tricking.
the editing on this is the best i swear
great video
fast motion makes it hard to show to others but insane runs and one of the best videos
Please don't ever take this video down.
I am a q3/qlive and LoL player, I wish I spent all my time on df instead...please never forget quake w3sp, you inspired me to get good at cpma and duel. The clip with the song oirectine by boc is really incredible to a point where it makes me feel almost spiritual or supernatural...I would donate just for seeing this video..
I'll always remember you
This is one of the most skillful performance arts I have seen.
More impressed by the castle bit at the end then any of the other clips, holy shit was that one continuous take? That was fucking insane.
rewatching years later again and I still love the last part
Unfuckinbelivable runs and freaky video editing, i think its the best quake video ever made.
This movie is awesome to watch when high. Great job from both of you. :)
excellent editing and nice music. a piece of art!
The last run in the castle was amazing!
I know this vid few years but still can not belive u are so good !!!!
Damn, the .avi file is waayyyy to heavy to run on my comp (and I have a pretty decent config though :s) Glad you put it on youtube also ^^
I always say i'll only watch a few minutes of this, but end up watching the whole thing, every time.
I'm thinking this is the best video I have ever seen.. I just wish more people would appreciate how amazing it feels to move in cpm physics .. :/
Sir, this castle freerun is breathtaking, with this music its close to spiritual act of human mind at its peak of concentration. Huge fan of this kind of performance altho I have no clue about defrag ; )
Glad I downloaded the HQ video years ago before the copyright issues so I can watch it as it was intended :)
Awesome defrag video. How amazing would it be, if we could fly all around town like that haha!
Love the music selected in this vid!
die beiden besten aller zeiten unglaublich o7
Bumping this "just because" :)
Pure art.
haven't seen this video before until now.. what an excellent job at the sound. (obviously besides the sick runs). what a unique feel ;)/sphere does this video has.
Most of the slowdowns are there for a reason, like the whole cityrocket run was slowed down because that is such an amazing run, nice to breakdown each rocket on the run. There were also a lot of people who wanted to see that demo at the time. The time still remains unbroken I believe.
I have to say this.... this movie might be the most skilled video of anything in the whole world.
after 11 years I still come back to this every now and then and then boot up ra3map4 just to move around
Your videos remind me of good times, thanks =)
If this video ever disappears from the internet, I will be very sad. That castle run is unbelievable.
@w3sp Here! Here! - a COMPLETE LACK of UNDERSTANDING of CPM physics - i echo those sentiments - beautiful vid btw
My jaw was literally hanging the entire time as I stared in amazement. Good choice on the music too. I think I heard Amon Tobin and Boards of Canada in there.
the castle run is making me weep.
e: after actually loading up the map, jumping around a bit and then revisiting this movie it makes me weep even more.
This is fucking awesome man, props to KOS for the edit :P
Awesome video. I'm actually the maker of run_cheez4...I can't believe I left a ledge in that last room you could walk on. I guess I never thought about throwing a grenade before the weapon reset. Well done!
The last clip literally made me cry. Literally.

last one was truly amazing, like everyone said ! emotional music matches perfectly, i loved it ! quake will never die !
This was just beautiful.
One of the best ever... the castle at the end is godly....
>TH-cam 2009 50fps
sombody didnt gave a shit about upload time and youtube not supporting it yet :)
+GWCNS Haha :)
+GWCNS
Didn't really have anything to do with youtube tbh, all good movie makers upload the movie separately. TH-cam is basically a shitty preview although many people settle for it.
This is beautiful. Forget Mirror's Edge; this is as good as it gets when it comes to a gaming equivalant of parkour. Amazing flow. Just amazing...
God I wish I could appreciate the skill in this more
just play a bit an you will
oh my god the ending to this movie is so ridiculously relaxing
Magnificent music choice, bravo. cool vid too
Words can't describe how much I love hearing that stinted rocket impact noise at 13:49
The skybox on the last map is beautiful
That credits sequence is the best part of the movie, holy camoly!
It's a shame this has sub-40k views [probably more with downloads and other streaming sites], it deserves a lot more. I honestly think defrag is one of the - if not the - most 'watchable' type of gaming video; it looks impressive even for non-players. And this is easily one of the best videos.
I watched this whole thing twice in 20 minute, that is how good it is. It can make you overcome the laws of the life.
Great movie man. It's an inspiration to all the true Quake fans out there 8].
There is something absolutely calming and meditating about defrag
Fail, repeat, improve
Rinse and repeat
Such is life
mind blown....
I'm a QL noob who haven't really been in touch with the q3a community at all, I played it a bit as a kid and got mowed down hard. :p
Really amazing to see how much awesome stuff I've missed that the q3a community gave birth too, it's a shame stuff like this wasn't/couldn't be brought over to QL. But now I'm itching to download some of this stuff and fire up my good old q3a to try it out for myself. :)
