Sick 90's as hell DooM gifs from this sick 90's as hell site Tentative Schedule
Alternately: Under a Checkered Sky: Let's Play DooM WADs DooM came out in 1993, and DooM II came out only a year later. Together, they revolutionized first person shooters and gaming in general. They were known for their violence, monsters, weapons, and tight level design. Then a bunch of idiots with computers figured out how to make their own violence, monsters, weapons, and levels using the DooM engine. The results are... middling. Some of the wads (that's what we call 'em. "Wads". Technically, the first map in DooM is a file called "e1m1.wad".) are really quite good, and exhibit an impressive amount of time and effort. Sometimes a frighteningly large amount of time and effort. Others are... Well, you'll see. Come join us as we rip and tear our way through as many of these as we can, and even some we can't. So, who the hell are you? I'm Twiggymouse. I've been a fan of DooM since it came out, basically. This doesn't mean I'm any drat good at it, but I know a thing or two about the game and the franchise as a whole. Okay. What are you doing, now? I'm gonna be playing through as many DooM wads as I can. Ah, gotcha. Any wads in particular? There's a list of the wads I've got here, which I'll be updating as we go through. I'm also more than happy to try wads that aren't on the list if people wanna suggest stuff. Awesome. I want in. Sweet! If you wanna provide commentary, just show up for a stream (I'll try and post in advance) at https://hitbox.tv/twiggymouse and we'll try and sort out the skype details. If you wanna provide some footage of you playing a wad, go right ahead. Just make sure to follow the rules. Rules? Yeah. Rules.
Cool, got it. So, how're your videos gonna work? As of the second recording session, the rules are set as such:
Yeah. Primary rule is that everyone gets to enjoy the game in their own way. I don't wanna hear about how this gameplay wad is better than this one or how anything that affects the way the game is played is blasphemous or some such nonsense. We're here to have fun. In short:
Nope. That's pretty much it. Just have fun and hang out and play some DooM wads. There's some pretty great stuff and some pretty not so great stuff already out there, and really, I'm just hoping to get some good DooMing in. Anyway, now that all that's out of the way, here's what everyone came here for: VIDEOS Part 1: Playlist Session 1 s1p1 - Featuring Mialath s1p2 - Featuring Mialath s1p3 - Featuring Mialath s1p4 - Featuring Mialath s1p5 - Featuring Mialath s1p6 - Featuring Mialath Session 2 s2p1 - Featuring Mialath and Flubglub s2p2 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s2p3 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s2p4 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s2p5 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s2p6 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid Session 3 s3p1 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s3p2 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s3p3 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s3p4 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s3p5 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s3p6 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid Session 4 s4p1 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s4p2 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s4p3 - Featuring Mialath and RickVoid s4p4 - Featuring Mialath and RickVoid s4p5 - Featuring Mialath and RickVoid s4p6 - Featuring Mialath and RickVoid s4p7 Session 5 s5p1 - Featuring Mialath, FlubGlub, and RickVoid. s5p2 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s5p3 - Featuring Mialath, Flubglub, and RickVoid s5p4 - Featuring Mialath and RickVoid s5p5 - Featuring Mialath and RickVoid Session 6 s6p1 - Featuring Mialath and FlubGlub s6p2 - Featuring Mialath and FlubGlub s6p3 - Featuring Mialath Part 2: p1: Epic Nazis 2, Medieval Scythe, Happy Time Circus, Going Down, and Holy Hell (MAP05) - Featuring Mialath p2:The Sky May Be, Demon Steele, and Project MSX - Featuring Mialath p3: Mock 2: the Speed of Stupid and imposs.wad - Featuring Mialath p4: Sonic Robo Blast 2 (The good Sonic wad) and Russian Overkill - Featuring Mialath p5: A Better DooM WAD Pulled Out of My rear end, DooMRPG, and DooMRL Arsenal - Featuring Mialath p6: X-Weapon: Helsturm, Metroid: Dreadnought, Guncaster: Anime, MegaMan: Deathmatch, and Zeldoom: the Disappointing DooM WAD - Featuring Mialath Part 3: Part 4: Kadorhal: Hellcore 2.0 MAP02 Twiggymouse: Let's Play DooM WADs: DooMRPGRLSID 1 Let's Play DooM WADs: DooMRPGRLSID 2 Let's Play DooM WADs: DooMRPGRLSID 3 Let's Play DooM WADs: DooMRPGRLSID 4 (Final) Let's Play DooM WADs: imposs.wad Complete Let's Play DooM WADs: Finishing Arcadia: Demade Let's Play DooM WADs: The End Twiggymouse fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Jan 3, 2016 |

Ha Doom. What a classic idea to LP. If you're trying out different .wad files and minor mods Twiggy will you be touching Brutal Doom? That is seriously fun and seriously challenging.

# ? Jun 12, 2015 23:54 |

Oh, yeah. Brutal Doom's a staple in my library. I was actually playing it prior to starting the stream for these. It's partly what inspired me to go looking for more wads and the like.

I'm gonna go ahead and suggest my favorite WAD combination ever, NAZIS V2 + EPIC 2. You already have EPIC 2 on your list but playing it with NAZIS V2 is just perfection, it gives a very Indiana Jones'ish feel, what with shooting nazis in egyptian ruins. Another fun combination is GMOTA + Scythe.

I would love it if you could tackle 'Happy Time Circus' and its sequel. Mainly because I have yet to see any decent footage of it anywhere, let alone seeing anyone finish the drat thing.

Twiggymouse posted:[*]I'm gonna play on "Hurt Me Plenty" (For the most part), as that's what I'm most comfortable with. Wuss! I'd like to suggest two very special WADs that I don't think I saw in the list: - Going Down by Cyriak (yes, that Cyriak) - Holy Hell - Map 5. Just Map 5, you don't need any others, trust me.

While I thoroughly enjoy the Doom games, I'll readily admit that I'm not a great gamer. As such, when a wad is difficult for difficulty's sake (or at least it feels that way to me), I tend to just get frustrated. Thus the lower rating. By all means, show me up or point me to someone else that will, cause I'd love to see just what these wads are packing without losing what's left of my mind in the process. That said, I will gladly look into just about anything, but be ready for a lot of swearing and dieing on the more difficult ones.

Decade seemed to want you to exploit infighting to thin out some of that horde. No way you're blowing all that away with the firepower you're given. When you get to an It's Maps WAD, maybe you could take that opportunity to show off a gameplay mod. Take revenge on those jerk face maps full of monsters by adding Russian Overkill or another wacky unbalanced thing.

What was the infamous mod with the Cyberdemon trapped in the 'illusopit'? That and the joke wad it spawned need to be done.

You can't have a Doom WAD thread without someone posting this, so I'll do the needful. The Sky May Be EDIT: Didn't see this on the Masterlist, but Stronghold On The Edge of Chaos is pretty great. It's Doom: Tower Defense, but you're the tower. Also it has a hub-world, upgrades, usable items, secret levels, etc. RickVoid fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jun 13, 2015 |

I don't have as many gameplay wads, yet, but I'm probably gonna go back and give some of the "it's maps" wads a fair shake once I get through the master list.

Double post, but I also wanted to clarify: The master list is just a regurgitation of this super wad. I'm gonna play (or try to play) all of those, at least once, but once that's through, it's just whatever I can get my hands on/people wanna see. To that end, keep the suggestions coming. I'll comb through here and pull out some good stuff a bit later.

Oh my. I recently just got back into Dooming after a hiatus, so I'll be following this to see if there are any good WADs I may have missed. I would love to contribute but I don't have any recording equipment. It'd be cool if you'd showcase some of the cool mods out there, like DemonSteele or Project MSX.

Gave Action Doom a shot. It gets... pretty silly just past that tank. I'm not sure how you're supposed to do most of this without getting shot. Got stuck partway through level 2. Action Doom 2 is way better.

Whenever I think about neat DooM WADs, the first thing that comes to mind is always imposs.wad. The gist is that it tries to be like an M.C. Escher work. Although I felt that some of the enemy placement and level design can get a bit dickish, it's definitely worth a look!

I'm gonna try to get through the next two years (2006/2007) on the list. For all the people asking, I'll play just about anything. The plan right now, though is to get through that list, and then start looking at everything else. Also, (and I'll be adding this to the op) the tentative update schedule will be:

You can tell the dude in Action Doom is a badass because when he jumps out of the plane, he takes the exit that is in front of the plane's engines, which normally would not be a good idea. Also, in that first wad, at one point the lights go out and you see some other place - was that supposed to be the Red Room from Twin Peaks?

The Action Doom Guy is naturally just the more action-y version of the regular Doom Guy, so that's only natural. Also, that's an interesting thought. No idea what it could mean, but it's interesting. Also, also, Stream's gonna be starting in about 20 minutes.

Posting for a bookmark. I adored the Doom games back in the day, still run through them every couple of years, but I've never seen a single WAD outside of the main game ones, very interested to see how they changed the game.

You have your Barons and Knights mixed up! The pink ones are Barons of Hell and the beige ones are Hell Knights. The Knights were introduced in Doom II and apart from colour the only difference is that Barons have 1000 HP and Knights have 500 HP. Schythe II looked pretty good, I think I've heard of that before (actually it was probably the first Scythe). Might have to check that one out some time! Been following this LP from the start, Doom II is one of my favourite FPSes of all time and the Super Shotgun remains to this day my favourite FPS weapon of all time.

Scythes are...weird. I honestly think he ran out of good map ideas about halfway through the second one; Scythe 1 is great up to level 20, then it gets ridiculously spammy.
