Playing through Punish2.wad 28 years after making it

Oh my fucking God, how did I miss this thread 8 sodding hours ago?! Guess I must've been been working. Incredible to see you here, Dario. Welcome back!

[TheWolfman00001]

Oh look, it's the guy who placed 422 revenants in the plutonia experiment.

 

For real though, welcome back to the community man <3

[pcorf]

Glad you didn't throw your computer out the window. Welcome back D.C. Doom will never die.

[Roofi]

On the other hand, I don't want to be a killjoy, but do we have more proof that it is actually Dario Casali and not a fake account?

Plutonia the Way Casali Brothers Did... by Casali Brothers.

I guess it will be "Plutonia the Way Casali Brothers Do" heh, but yeah, I'll be over the top if something like this happened.

[Steveb1000]

I didn't know the Casalis were English until I watched this. I googled some info and Dario was making Plutonia while studying economics at Oxford Uni. Must be a smart banana!

 

Fantastic to see you visit Dario and hope you stay involved in some way.

[Gibbon]

Welcome back!

Same voice and accent for me, so I think he's the real one.

Dario Is eternal.

Vanilla slaughtermap is an extremly underrated mapping niche.

Yes, we need more Plutonia/Urania-likes.

[MemeMind]

This is a legendary moment.

[ReaperAA]

Shi.... I only saw this now. Its great to see Dario Casali back in Doom. Hope he checks out the many great Doom community wads that have been released over the years.

[KeaganDunn]

A pleasure to see you here, Dario! Hope you continue playing Doom and perhaps delve into what the community has been making over the past 28 years if you haven't already.

Those deaths are just built-up karma for all the years of punishment Plutonia put players through!
 

This is really entertaining, so glad you decided to record it!

 

Edit: these censor sounds are golden.

Glad to release some of that pent up karma. There was a lot of it!

 

Thanks, I had a lot of fun playing through. When I played it back I realized I should probably clean the language up a little (well ok a lot :)

the censor sound effects in the video makes me wonder how many sound effects you got for censoring the words youtube don't like XD

 

EDIT: also, there's an option to disable unlimited lost soul in PrBoom, so now you have to redo the playtrough

When I played the demo back I realized I needed to find quite a few censorship sound effects. 

 

I'll definitely use -comp 5 next time. It's pretty crap dealing with that many lost souls, thought I have to admit, I laughed watching myself get antagonized by them so much.

[Silhouette 03]

Nice to see you back DC. Do you still love revenants as much ;)

@DCasali Plutonia is my favorite IWAD!

Thanks Lila!

Nice to see you here Dario, welcome back!
This is a fun watch, thank you for sharing!

[Redneckerz]

La Casali Da Hell. Unexpected, and yet it even feels a little expected in this absolute monstrosity of a Doom year. So many things have happened this very year from Ace Engine to Wadazine to DoomXS to Gibbon that the return of an absolute cornerstone of Doom's Treasure Chest is almost normal.

 

Just almost. Dario, its great that you came back in the midst of us demon critters.

 

Welcome home.

[Kyka]

Welcome back @DCasali Thanks for the years of mapping. Didn't know you were Australian until I watched this vid.  Kind Regards from Melbourne. Wonderful to have you back. :)

Welcome back, @DCasali!

PLZ TELL ME THERE IS A FULL SET OF SPRITES FOR THIS MASTERPIECE  :) (It is a wonderful metaphor for what @DCasali's maps have done to us for all these years.)

"Breaking News! We have reports that the man himself @DCasali has entered Doomworld. We go live to our reporter on the ground."

There isn't right now, but you can make them.

 

[Steveb1000]

On the actual video - that's a really nice playthrough video. Like the fairly calm and clear narrative mixed with swearing! - if you find time to stream or post youtube play throughs, I think they'd be very strong, regardless of your background.

[Zulk RS]

Damn I want to watch this sooo bad but i have to get to bed right now or I'll be tired tomorrow. I'll watch this when I wake up. Welcome back @DCasali

Welcome back. :) Just FYI, if you are using PrBoom+ or DSDA-Doom (from your YT description it sounds like the former), you'll want to use complevel 4 for Final Doom wads. The primary complevels you'll need are:

2: Doom 2

3: Doom 1

4: Plutonia/TNT

9: Boom

 

Also, if you aren't using DSDA-Doom, definitely check it out, as it's the most currently developed branch of the PrBoom port lineage. It's more designed for speedrunners, but there's a lot of various quality-of-life features in there that are useful for casual play. Also, Crispy Doom/Woof! are commonly used classic-style ports. :)

Damn. I guess I'll just ask if you've kept up much with the Doom scene at all, or if you've been elsewhere entirely for the past 28 years?

If the former, any works which stand out to you in particular? Also any vague plans at all to ever make some new Doom content?

 

Anyway, I think your and Milo's levels in TNT are stellar, they're among my very favorite official maps, very inspiring.
