Custom Derper.
http://www.youtube.com/user/darrenweekes/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_index=0

I am getting a bit of a geek-crush on the smoothly spoken Englishman that is DAZ with his insightful and thought-provoking series of derping around missing all the secrets and even items that are right in front of him errrr I mean talking about mapping while playing cool levels. So I thought his channel was worth it's own seperate thread - entertaining for players and mapping veterans, and potentially very useful for newer mappers as DAZ does offer some really good views on mapping theory. Also DAZ go ahead and put all your updates in here.

The first void space HIPDM1 map was in the Quake expansion pack "Scourge of Armagon" in 1997 developed by Richard 'Levelord' Gray .

I am a bit disappointed that Daz does not know about Levelord as he was the inspiration for many "popular" map styles. 
 
like maps with penises in them 
 
@Lunaran, Yes Levelord did a crazy p0rn map called Assault but this is not the sum total of his work. He also did the first black void map and the first Alice style, "small player in large world" map behind Zee bookcase. These two styles alone inspired many community mappers to create their own versions in many different engines.

First you drop the classic "Ello Guys" intro, then you get a different voice, and now you even call yourself "Der0n WeeX" or somesuch? It's like I don't even know you anymore!

By the way, if you record on protocol 15 (where possible) or 10002, you can fix the intermission camera on demo playback with BJP's convdem tool. 
Derp 
hipdm1 epic fail :( I added an annotation to the video correcting that. 
Yeah 
what's up with the intro man? :P 
 
you can call yourself whatever you like, but you need the "ello guyz" intro! 
Needs 'ello Guys 
otherwise you don't get my youtube moneys 
WTF? 
No ello guyz, no watch. 
Derpsouls... 
fun watching you play Dark Souls... :) 
Penis Devastated :( 
 
Custom Derpestation. :-( 
 
rofl

"debris" 
Yes 
Debris! :P 
Devasted Skill Levels 
I remember long ago playing that map on Hard Skill and thinking it was brutal and unfair. The dual shambler spawn with no cover is just an easy example of where if you don't use the corner quickly and learn shambler dancing it can go wrong quickly.

What I did like about that level was the end battle and how the monsters came in from wind tunnels on the side, umm now that looks familiar! :P

Also WTF mapping project are you working on!?! :P

Funny you should ask that, of all people. 
Its A HL2 Map 
cue groans and sarcastic remarks ;) 
 
Something that stood out to me as good layout that you didn't mention: the first two-button progression block also has a symmetrical set of doors associated with it, so no matter which button you hit last, you're right next to one of the doors when they both open.

You also didn't explain "Westwoo00o0oo0000oo0od!" (because viewers really want to know about obscure #terrafusion jokes). 
Ha 
I had no idea what that westwood thing was all about. Scampie explained it in the comments :) 
 
I think Westwoo00o0oo0000oo0od is more of a "I listened to Radio 1 in the 90s" joke? 
Debrisssss. 
Derpbris!

Nice spawn/fiend kill in the final battle there. The final arena might be relatively easy but it still looks like fun pacing. 
 
Hey, what was the map in the "B roll" Quake footage that you were playing during your recent status update? It looked familiar but I'm blanking on it.

DAZ, What Graphics Card Were You Runnning? 
Just saw on your channel that you lost yours :(
