Doom

Go for it! Spread the Doo M love!

As soon as I get a new mic I'll get right to it then. I'm surprised that no one has covered the numerous Doo M wads out there LP style. That would certainly give lots of material. Perhaps if I'm lucky I can find another and turn this into a co-op Lp.

Also did anyone ever see Total Chaos? The first TC that someone's working on that has "HDR" using the skulltag engine?

...

That's Skulltag?

Seriously?

Wow. That's beautiful. In a haunting sort of way.

Unfortunately barring some miracle the days of the GL renderer for GZDoom and Skulltag are numbered; its primary coder stopped work on it in a huff and eventually some update or another to the main ZDoom code will break it.

Daymn, Really? That's a real shame. I wonder what's gonna happen to the GL renderer. I always play with it on.

Also I was playing some skullag online yesterday for the first time in weeks. The game I was in promptly pulled in my attention for the entire night and some of the mornin'. It was Alien Vendetta with Real Guns Advanced 2. Which pretty much meant a MW 2 addon for Doom.

Is Freedoom back on track? I remember there was some sort of nerd rage conflict between the developers.

Bum P!

Well, sooooorry!

It was intended to be a pun(?) on Doo M, but I guess it doesn't come across clearly.

This thread has convinced me to buy Doom 2 on Steam.

Took a bit of fiddling to get it to work, but I'm really liking it now that it actually lets me play.

P.S.: Try playing Doo M and using the music the Doo M tunes were based on while playing. It's fun.

Nothing beats 'Big Gun' while playing E 1 M 4.

The Achievements for DOOM II are now listed.

Standard stuff, except for killing a Cyberdemon with your bare fists.

Looks like someone's been reading the wit and wisdom of the Doomguy.

Does it still count if you weaken it with rockets first, or do you have to use the fists by themselves?

I think you have to take it out completely with your fists. Good luck.

Only one way to find out, I guess.

No Xbox Live Arcade release date yet.

EPIC.WAD GIVES YOU BALLS.

MASSIVE MANLY BALLS.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO BOWLING WITH YOUR TESTICLES.

The Cyberdemon is huge. That means he has huge guts.

Rip and tear.

EDIT: Huh, quite a few Doom comic references among those achievements.

^^ That sounds like it would be uncomfortable.

DOOM II is on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, May 26.

Original DOOM is fun. I just played it for the Nth time through a few weeks ago. Was in the mood for a round of DOOM for some reason so did a complete play through (Three episodes) on Ultra Violence, all secret levels, no cheats of course. Cannot beat Nightmare without editing though. First played it back when I was a teenager in the 90s.

I still have my original copy of it, version 1.2 for DOS. I copied it onto CD though as the floppies are unusable now. That old version only has three episodes and is missing a few map features present on later versions such as the secret switch right at the beginning of E 1 M 1: Hangar. On an interesting note E 1 M 4: Command Control still has the swastika shaped room, they bowdlerised it in version 1.4.

Unfortunately, on that early version very few mods work, most need version 1.666.

whyyyyyyyy D:

Can't remember. How much is Skulltag, and you can get it for Steam, right?

Skulltag is a free multiplayer source port for Doom that requires an existing copy of a Doom iwad (DOOM.WAD or DOOM2.WAD) to run. You can't get it on Steam because it's not a proper game, but you can copy DOOM2.WAD from a Steam copy of Doom II and paste it into the same folder as Skulltag.
