Starting a weekly Doom stream - Need wad suggestions!

[Doomkid]

Hey peoples, I've finally decided to get some use out of my Twitch account, but I need wad recommendations from you all!

I'm currently looking for single maps or small episodes, but at some point I might end up playing megawads as well. Open to anything that will run in Zandronum or below, don't be afraid to suggest any material, be it ancient history to modern stuff.

Currently the plan is to stream every Saturday night at 8PM Eastern Time in the US (10AMSunday morning here in Australia). The first stream is scheduled for next week. My streams will be found HERE. I'll be doing my best to make the stream fun and entertaining while still offering concise feedback and criticism. Also worth noting, there's loads of popular wads out there I've yet to play or beat, so depending on what material you all suggest I might be going in totally fresh!

Go on then, tell me what you want me to play/stream/discuss/review :)

coffee break is fairly short, i think it'd also make for an interesting stream.

also ic2005 maybe?

Can you play through Hell Clash and Oh My Gwad?

[Soundblock]

The Devilz Work? Blaze through some of your own stuff in an episode? Maybe drop some thoughts that went into creating them...

I'm always on the look out for people to play my Operation UAC wad. There are a few youtube videos with people playing it and I very much enjoyed watching their experience and feedback - but I'm looking for videos from people who has more experience with Doom in general and may have an appreciation for the subtle mapping quirks. I got Suitepee to play earlier version of it, but they were quite lacking back then.

Do bare in mind, it strictly requires Brutal Doom v20b but I promise many of the maps and mechanics are built for it - not used as a clutch to lean on it. You will experience most if not all Brutal Doom has to offer and balanced specifically for it. Also worth noting:
- Grenades are a powerful tool to eliminate large groups of weaker demons
- Head shots take down medium / larger demons effectively (especially with chaingun) and an excellent method to save ammo
- Ammo and pickups are balanced for BD, meaning it's more limited but rewarding to skilled marksmen and those who finish weaklings off with a shot or kick to the head
- Depending on difficulty you choose, new rooms and traps will be unlocked

It has 9 maps in total (but are medium to small maps), primarily designed for Zandronum and although my first wad I REALLY invested lots of time and love into it.

I would be honored if you did play and recoreded it, Doomkid. http://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-doom/addons/operation-uac#comments

It would make a fellow Melbournian happy :)

I would like to try out your map as well. I have experience with Brutal Doom, and am currently playing the starter pack on Realism mode. So I'll give my thoughts on your map when I check it out. Very few Brutal Doom maps out there so this shoudn't be ignored.

[Doomkid]

Hey peoples, this weekend I'll be playing a wad by Byeblothingal 1024 (AcidGod) that is one of his enormous beasts of a map. I'll be coming back to Coffee Break again next week, but his wads deserve some limelight :)

[Doomkid]

Just letting you guys know I'm postponing today's stream to tomorrow or the next day - I'm sick at the moment and my voice is fucked :( My apologies

[Fonze]

Hey, sweet that you started up a stream dk! I'm totally surprised that your epicly terrible internet connection is capable of doing a stream, but I think this is really sweet! I'll have to check it out when I get the chance.

Hope you feel better, btw

I don't suppose you record any of these? I doubt I can catch the steam often.

*Edit* Speaking of being sick, so am I. I need to go to my local Clinic at 10:40 but I will check if the stream is live before and after I return and watch something while I recover.

Excellent, the more the better. Just bare in mind my map pack doesn't support Realism mode due to a couple jump segments.

[roadworx]

aw, it sucks to hear about that. hope you feel better soon!
