So, a few people have already chimed in with their guess to the final video count (And I'm happy to let them change their answers since I haven't posted this yet), but yeah, we're playing The Price is Right Rules here; the closest to the actual number without going over.

Anyone is free to guess both the final death tally, the final video count, and the death count for each "section" of the LP. I'll update one of the OP posts with this information.

What I'm looking for now is the death count for all of the 1994 wads. The deadline for this will be Friday, August 12 by 11:59 P.M. PST (Or you know, before I go to sleep that night).
This contest will be a thing that runs throughout the life of the thread. People will gain points for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

The final death count, and final video count deadlines will be Saturday, December 31st, by 11:59 P.M. PST Just throw a number out there. I don't even know what the final count could possibly be, and we're not even close to the end. I will allow you to change each of these guesses once, but just once.

So, that's 3 contests (That I have planned anyway) for the thread. I plan to have some form of prize, but that is far off and TBD. The final numbers are out of everyone's control, so this ought to be interesting.

You gave me an idea, and one thing led to another. Kind of counts as LP fanart as it bridges the gap between the Nocturnal missions and the first three episodes, and it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't started calling the officers milkmen.

This thread has made me go back and check out DoomRL again. I wish that was updated more frequently. But on the subject of abusing strafing control oversights:

I used to think that The Doom Comic was the most bizarre and inane of Doom tie-in media, but no, all this time, we've had Flynn Taggart's train of thought rapidly oscillating between oo-rah and inexplicable lemon rage.

It is very unfortunate that the co-op stream recording was lost. Therefore, I have attempted to re-create one of the highlights of that stream for anyone who missed it or wants to experience it again.

I'm disappointed that you didn't use the proper tag for a doom franchise play through.

That looks like a pretty good 20 years to me, when your low point is either hexen, doom 3, or maybe rage.

Temin_Dump posted:

Sorry, man. I'm a stupid newbie. And honestly, I think the lowest point for this series is gonna be Wolf 3D, but I guess we'll see

Tiggum posted:

Wolfenstein 3D is great though. It gets pretty samey as you go through it (especially if you include SoD) but it's a fun and challenging game.

Also, if we're talking about what constitutes a 'Doom game', does DoomRL count?

Temin_Dump posted:

It certainly does. It's on the secret master list that nobody but me and the gang get to see until it's all out there. Thanks for bringing it up though. I'm totally open to any suggestions for Doom fan games as well.

FredMSloniker posted:

Really? You'd rate Chex Quest over all of those? I mean, I had fun with it back in the day, and I'm looking forward to seeing it covered, but...

anilEhilated posted:

gently caress yeah, Doom 2 is still the best platformer of all time. This is one huge nostalgia trip for me, I think I actually played every single of these games growing up. Particularly looking forward to see someone being actually competent at Strife.
e: Welp, apart from Rage. Not sure if I missed out on anything there.
e2: Speaking of mod suggestions, it's a bit early for that but if you don't do Alien Vendetta, there shall be cries and gnashing of teeth.

I've been thinking of trying to make a Doom 3 lp of my own because I actually loved it completely, but you can do it for me

Temin_Dump posted:

We're trying to do things in a mostly chronological order, but don't worry. There will be Alien Vendetta.

Redysseus posted:

There will be crying and gnashing of teeth regardless because Alien Vendetta gave me PTSD.

It is distinctly one of the first Doom wads/mods I remember playing, and I was much happier off not remembering it. (Okay it's not that bad I was just dumb and 12 probably)

Wolf3D was my first FPS when I found it on my Dads computer way back in ~'94 at the tender age of 8. He only had the Shareware episode though, so I didn't get to kill Hitler until a year later when I discovered that one of my friends not only had a copy too, but his Dad had shelled out the money for all the episodes; and thus did I become a software pirate at 9.

I don't remember exactly when we got Doom, but I know it was after the Doom 2 release (which I really wanted, back then you could buy a double-wide box that had the full versions of Doom I and II, but Mom really didn't like that we even had the Shareware version, so that was that). Our shareware copy came as a surprise in the bottom of the box for a Joystick my dad and I bought to enhance our Flight-Sim sessions (Knights of the Sky and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe), which we had previously been playing using keyboard controls (oh early 90's gaming, there are many things about you I do not miss). Doom was an upgrade over Wolf3D in every way, and I played the hell out of it. This was pre-internet for me (when didn't get internet access until I was in Junior High), so everything I found in the game, every level I beat, secret I found, was accomplished through trial and error.

One of my favorite gaming memories was testing out a theory that my Dad and I had, that there was more to the last level to be found after you enter the portal, since the room it drops you in is full of guys who kill you. We knew that the room would disable God Mode, but putting the code in would restore you to full health. So while my dad did his best to shoot all of the demons, I was on code duty, putting in IDDQD over and over again until all the enemies were dead... At which point we discovered that the room has a damage floor and there was nothing else to do except let yourself die. Oh well.
