I am so glad you are doing the two semi-official wolfenstein 3D expansions. Amazingly, I have found a grand total of 0 people on the internet who have LPed it with commentary.Jobbo_Fett posted:I can't stop hearing "MEIN FROMAGE!" from the milkmen. I hear "Mein Frobozz" but that's because I spent too much time playing text-games back in the day.

Psychotic Weasel posted:Wasn't it just a Wolfenstein map pack with some new enemies thrown in (although I guess that could've been said of any of the original 6 episodes). I don't think I ever played it as a kid. This is basically right, but it also comes with new music, and the level design takes a huge step up from regular Wolfenstein 3d from what I recall. Most of the levels are more compact, so it's harder to get lost, there's a lot of new tiles and decorations to help alleviate the monotony, and it overall feels like a more polished game. They changed the chaingun pickup sound (IIRC) though which is laaaame.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Spear of Destiny itself is better than Wolfenstein 3D, but those mission packs for it are another story entirely. The mission packs are interesting in their own right as they're basically a TC of wolfenstein 3d, with new textures, reskinned enemies with new sounds, etc. So at the very least we'll get to see more enemy bios!!

It's kinda amazing how Commander Keen improved from the first game in a short amount of time. 2 and 3 have better level design by a lot compared to the various mazes in 1. Though, watching this video was all I needed to finally realize that the aliens from Half-Life aren't the aliens from Keen, despite them both starting with Vorti-

Capilarean posted:Uh, have you played Keen 3? Because the level design is ABYSMAL. The whole game was cranked out in a couple weeks or so and it shows. The answer to that question is "no I haven't" and I was just assuming it was good based on 2 and 4

Crembo posted:Excellent LP so far, but one small gripe with the sound balance: when you talk, you overpower the music; but you never stop talking for more than two or three seconds. (which makes your "oh this is a nice song" comments a little frustrating) Agreeing with this. I love "Jazzin' Them Nazis" the best out of all the songs in wolf3d, but I could barely hear it the whole time.

NoNotTheMindProbe posted:Huh, so the game I played as a kid was the sequel to Catacomb 3D: Catacomb 3D Abyss. It had a nice sense of progression as there was a different tile set and monsters for each level. Both sequels are better design-wise, with way prettier areas and more interesting monsters, but there's literally no music instead of a repetitive track so that's... maybe good?

Shadowcaster's inventory system is exactly the same as I.M. Meen's. I wonder if they based it on the Shadowcaster engine?

While checking to see what engine Meen uses, I discovered that apparently Shadowcaster had an automap? Did I miss you using it in the LP or did you not know there was one either?

Speaking of controls, I've become accustomed to using space bar as use because of early FPS games, so I can't handle the modern "Press E to use" system. I for some reason also use E as jump and Z as crouch and I have no idea where that came from. It had to have been an early FPS, but I can't think of one that has crouching in it so maybe I'm just nuts.

The music was REALLY hard to hear this time, I didn't even realize there was music in the first level until I saw the little music thing pop up for the second level.

There are like... at least a hundred custom "megawad" type expansions people have made, including ones with sky textures that work like doom's skyboxes, upwards of nine different weapons with different ammo types, usually four different key colors, etc etc etc. This was actually a pretty huge thing, and there's a goon that's still making a new mod at the moment.

I'm kinda sad that we're at the end of Wolf3d stuff. Some of the mods and stuff get pretty amazing, so I'm a teensy bit disappointed you're not going into them at all.

Oh dang alright, I'll try to find a really good one. Argh, the pressure! I'd say a pretty good example of how much better mods are than the base games are would be something like the "Operation Eisenfaust" series. http://www.moddb.com/mods/operation-eisenfaust-origins and http://www.moddb.com/mods/operation-eisenfaust-legacy are where you can find them. The second one is especially 'different', with NPCs and dialogue and stuff like that.

I love your commentary but I really cannot stand Coffee's at all. It's either just "Sorry I wasn't paying attention", "Is this a Sandy Petersen level?" if you see a cacodemon, "Look it's Olive Garden" if you see a vine anywhere, pointing out something that happened quite a long time ago that didn't need to be pointed out, or laughing about something that isn't funny. It's really grating compared to your guys' commentary.

Temin_Dump posted:OH GOD!!! SECRET'S OUT! Also, considering just doing a video a day for the Doom wads at this point. I can't stop myself. (Also, we're trying to clear up the backlog of videos we have at this point) I wouldn't mind having a video to watch every day And thanks, Coffee, for promising to tone it down. I dunno what about it bugged me so much especially since everyone else seemed fine with it, though.

Echoing the others in regards to really enjoying watching the playthroughs of the wads. Besides, they'll get more interesting as time goes on, we're still in 1994, the year of really really old wads. They really ramp up after a while. Speaking of, I notice the list you're using only goes up to 2003. Are you going to be just using the cacowards to pick wads from 2004 onward?

I'm catching up after not watching for a while, and Temin, I would just like to say that it angers my doom sensibilities when you pick up a green armor when the last armor you picked up was blue and you're only at 50% or something! Aaargh, you're taking needless extra damage!!

Amulets and Armor did get some patches and new releases after the LP, but the creators have dropped off the planet over the last few years. Maybe they'll come back with their promised windows version soon

Temin_Dump posted:I live..... Again. The only thing I know of that you missed is in E1M3, in one of the early versions, maybe shareware, there's a switch that raises the ground out of the acid pit early in that o-shaped room. If you hit the switch and run over the acid at the same time, it'll make both triggers fire and it'll just ascend endlessly, from what I recall. I know there was a video of this somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it, so it might have been a late beta or something instead, but I'm pretty sure it was in the original shareware, or an early early patch version.

From what I recall, the Wings of Wrath in Hexen, unlike the ones in Heretic actually are permanent? After using them, they continue to work through the other areas of the hub and only deactivate when you move onto the next one? I remember checking out the pit in the fire level.
