Description             : Play it.  Holy poop on a stick, that texture is
                          scrolling the wrong way!!!  This is incredible!!!
                          If only this was known ten years ago people might
                          have cared!!!!
                          
                          For the more technical minded, the trick is done by
                          creating a whole ton of extra linedefs with the wall
                          scroll special which all reference the same sidedef
                          as the one you want to scroll backwards.  You need
                          to reference the sidedef an additional X-1 times,
                          where X is the width of the texture in pixels.
                          
                          While a backwards-scrolling texture is the most
                          obvious trick, you can also change the number of
                          extra sidedef references to just make the scrolling
                          texture haul ass super fast.
                          
                          Another idea would be to make a super-wide texture
                          comprised of smaller "frames" placed side by side,
                          i.e. make a giant wide texture with individual
                          32-pixel-wide frames side by side.  Then make 31 extra
                          sidedef references and the texture will appear to
                          animate at 35 FPS because the texture will shift over
                          32 pixels every tic to the next "frame."

                          Jon Rimmer for noticing the fast-scroll walls in it
                          Cyb for knowing the extra-sidedef trick behind it
                          Me for getting anyone to think about it in the first
