I always though GZDoom stood for OpenGL ZDoom.

 

But I suddenly realized it could also stand for "Graf Zahl Doom"

 

And now I don't know if I've been wrong all these years.

 

If it's means OpenGL ZDooM then it should be this dead one.

 

:p

Despite it being my favourite port, it has been kinda devalued by one of my friends pronouncing it as 'Jizzydoom'. Heh.

*something about Chris-Chan and Fanta*

I read posts on dw only if they have 10 or more likes.

As a kid whenever I looked at the preset radio buttons in a car, I'd always think of the weapon numbers on the Doom status bar.

Wait... it seems that I pronounce like this...

[NEANDERTHAL]

I've never bought a DOOM game.

It's nothing to be ashamed of if you're playing for the first time, it's often disorienting to play in a new environment, especially one like Doom's. Hangar is also relatively large for a first level compared to the compact and really short layout of Entryway.

I can't beat E1M1 on Ultra-Violence.

 

edit: btw, I've been playing Doom for a year and a half now. I'd now say that old dogs don't learn new tricks and all that, but the thing is, I'M NOT OLD

I'm sure you can do it! It might even be easier if you don't shoot anything :P

I'm very guilty to say this, but I first played the games by pirating them. On Boxer on my shitty old Mac. One, is it ok for me to not have played the games when they came out, and two, I stopped pirating them at one point by deleting my copies and just using FreeDoom. I then bought Doom Classic Complete on Steam, and had to use Wine to install them. Come Feb. 2017, and I got my gaming computer that I currently use that has no wi-fi and only ethernet.

They do go all out with the shotgun guys, making it kinda dangerous with only your pistol. I'd say just don't bumrush, and shoot them at range, once you get a shotgun it's easy pickings.

NOOOOOO!!!!! Don't jinx yourself!

Try taking the secret through the courtyard

 

edit: Don't just lay on the trigger,  shoot sequentially. It's more accurate that way.

Hi, my name is Joe and this is my sad confession.  I've probably gotten stumped in switch-hunt wads like Eternal Doom and ran around chasing my tail, making zero progress, killing no new enemies, finding no new areas or secrets, for upwards of 1-2 hours straight  Normally I would never confess this obsessive aberrant behavior, but, hey, this is the anonymous inter webs after all, and I'm sure many of my doombros here suffer from the same syndrome... or worse.  Doomworld can be a cathartic, community support-group experience.

[42PercentHealth]

I hated Eternal Doom so much for that very reason! I quit around level 17 or 18...

[rehelekretep]

@cacomonkey you are not alone!

when i see the secret counter as 0/0 i breath a sigh of relief :)

May I "recommend" https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom/0-9/21ratmaz, "Rat in a Maze"? You will be able to get dozens of hours of enjoyment? from it.

-I usually save-scum.

 

-When I was playing MAP09 (The Pit), I got so mad that I kicked a hole in my wall. (In my defense, the prior two levels are what got me really mad, there was just some part of The Pit that was the final straw).

 

-Whenever people refer to Back to Saturn X as "BTSX," the first words to pop into my mind are "Butt sex"

I thought this was just the norm for PC FPS fans! :D Not just trickier Doom wads, these moments have happened here and there in all sorts of classic FPS games. Maybe not for hours, but plenty of times being stumped for 30-40 minutes that add up in my gaming career. I've probably had upwards of an hour at some point.

 

That's the thing of the nonlinear and often mazelike level design we love, sometimes a switch or whatever just won't stick out to you, or there's one corner you just didn't happen to look somehow. Worth it though.

Eh, a lot of people do. I save semi-frequently, but the Postal Dude doesn't like it. :P

Also why'd you kick in a wall?

It was in front of me.

 

...Can something like that really have a rational reason?

If you stomped the floor instead you would have made another pit.

It took me until...last year to finally figure out how you unlock the rocket launcher secret in doom 2 map 1.

👌👌

I've been into mapping since 8 years as for now.
I still don't consider myself pretty much talented.

If I talk about the base games (i.e. not considering mods and WADs) I don't think Doom and Doom 2 are that great. In fact, I don't even consider them to be among my favorite games.
