FoolyCharged: Oct 11, 2012; Cheating at a raffle? I sentence you to 1 year in jail! No! Two years! Three! Four! Five years! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Somebody call for an ant?

The fact that a couple of Germans decided to name their submarine movie literally "The Boat" amuses me every time that movie comes up.

Excellent doomguy impression at the end

Some of the later levels can get pretty brutal, but I have (possibly misplaced) faith in Temin. 33 deaths

Temin_Dump: Mar 14, 2016

This is where it gets fun, since I actually know the final death count for Doom 2 right now.

E: You still have plenty of time to get in your guesses for the final grand total death count, as well as the final video count.

OH YEAH, AND I FORGOT TO SET A DEADLINE. WHOOPS!
You all have until Friday, September 30th by 11:59 P.M. PST

I'd just like to point out that you were meandering around for half a minute (roughly) with only 1% health and no one commented. I can only imagine how tense you were when recording that gameplay during that point.

It's always pretty freakin' tense. Don't worry, this isn't the last time that will happen!

And here I thought the WADs would be less forgiving. Doom 2 at least is more bullshit. Especially if you're going to try out 100.000 Revenants.

18 deaths for Doom 2.

EDIT: Didn't include specifics for the deaths. Whoops.

Vanilla Doom 2? I'd say about 24. If it's with .wads, let's go to 300. Total death count about 1600.

Oh, this is vanilla Doom 2 only? around 20 deaths, I think.

25 deaths for vanilla Doom 2.

I'll lowball it with 14 deaths for doom 2 vanilla, and take a wild guess at 90 deaths for the wads.

I had full faith in Temin's skills. :colbert:

Temin_Dump: Mar 14, 2016

Hey everyone, sorry if there was any confusion.

I'm looking for the total death count for just Doom2.exe, Map01-Map32 -- No wads or anything. The wads will come later. Feel free to revise your guesses if you were confused.

By "final total" I meant the death count at the end of the entire LP, by the way. I'm not quite sure what some of you were guessing at when you said total deaths.

Huh, never even noticed that. I'll fix it from now on. Thanks for the heads up!

Stephen9001: Oct 28, 2013

I'll guess a relatively low 15 deaths for DOOM2 it'll be less bullshit than some of those wads after all.

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Actually, regarding total deaths: are you guys going to do Daikatana? Because if that's the case, I definitely lowballed it.

Yeah we're gonna do Daikatana, but in the way we did games like Blake Stone, Rise of the Triad, etc. Initially at least. I have a plan for the side games much later on, so we'll see how that goes.

So that's also the same for Heretic, Hexen etc., I guess?

See, that's where it gets a bit weird. I'm actually going to finish these because they're on the Doom engine, and feel more or less like really fleshed out Doom TC's. I admit that it's fairly arbitrary, but that's what I decided to go with. Like I said, I have somewhat of a plan for the other side games way down the line.

It was ported to Linux in '94, so he could be using Chocolate Doom this whole time. :v:
