I noticed this happening a few days ago after some difficulty with my internet, but whenever I try to go onto the Doomworld Forums index or Wads and Mods I get instantly redirected back to Doomworld.com. It only seems to do this on my laptop for some reason and I have no idea how to fix it. Anyone else experienced this?

Try clearing the browser cache, and if that doesn't fix it flush the DNS Cache

Visually this map is a treat, but the actual structure seems to be the old room-corridor progression with not much thought to the actual flow of the map. Also I noticed quite a few areas where the architecture was abruptly cut off by the sky, including the very first area. It's an excellent effort though, so keep trying! 3 stars. - Obsidian

The long version of events can be found here, but the tl;dr version is that Realm667 has been hacked one too many times, and if Tormentor can't get together enough cash to get an upgrade, both R667 and his business homepage will be closed down. Here's hoping the Doom community can scrape together enough money to help out.

For a while now I've been angling to go to an institution called Media Design School for a while now in order to take a course on Game Programming, but a few weeks ago I had a rather humbling phone call from one of the tutors and yesterday I attended one of the Open Days and talked with some of the staff. The verdict: I should be doing Game Art?
Apparently all the work I've done with designing maps for Doom falls under the environs of Game Art rather than Game Programming. The thing that worries me though is that the Game Art course also encompasses traditional art such as drawing and 3D modelling, which I'm unfortunately not so great at. I could possibly be good at art, but I honestly feel like I could use some help in this area. Is there anyone else on here who's looking to or is currently taking a similar course, and if so how would I go about securing a position? Portfolios need to be in by the end of this month and it's got me kind of worried. -

A certain chunk of shiny black volcanic rock celebrates it's birthday in exactly one week. Said rock would be extremely grateful if it received some birthday maps on this particular day, so how about it?

Obsidian said:Whoa, thanks man! :) Couldn't beat it on my first playthrough, but I'll give it a proper go later. Thanks! :D
Was it a "fair" death or some classic "this clearly wasn't tested properly" bullshit? I'll work on getting it completed this evening after work either way, with adjusted UV (based on your feedback if there is any as well as my observations from a fresh play through) and the other difficulties implemented... Think I'll align that STONE3 wall overlooking the blood sea, too :p

Yesterday I was a Forum Staple and now I'm a Senior Member, but I'm pretty sure my postcount's the same. Either the numbers have been changed or someone's done a TimeOfDeath and slipped me a custom title. X-D

GreyGhost said:I'll hazard a guess and say 7500.
I'd say you are right, since 40oz is Spammer and Graf Zahl has WDIHACTBN title. So it might be:
1000 - Senior Member
2500 - Forum Staple
4000 - Forum Legend
6000 - Forum Spammer
7500 - Why don't I have a custom title by now?!
Or perhaps better, to make the differences equal to 1500:
1000 - Senior Member
2500 - Forum Staple
4000 - Forum Legend
5500 - Forum Spammer
7000 - Why don't I have a custom title by now?!
Can this be confirmed? -

In case you were wondering about my absence from the Doomworld forums these past few days, here is the reason: WestFest. This was definitely the biggest concert that I've ever been to and it's one I probably won't ever forget. I was planning on keeping a record of it while I was there, but lack of time and facilities prevented me from using my laptop. Oh well, better late than never.
Wednesday, 19th of February.
Had a bit of a madcap rush to Auckland and missed the first 3 acts. Finally managed to get to the Vector Arena in time for the 4th band and managed to get to a balcony area on the edge of the arena.
Five Finger Death Punch: I thought these guys would absolutely suck, but this one was a pleasant surprise: I think it was just that stupid "Bad Company" radio single that gave me that impression. Definitely a lot of energy put into their performance and the lead singer managed to spark a nice circle it in the centre of the mosh pit. Might listen to more of their stuff.
Megadeth: Dave Mustaine has jazz hands. Seriously, all his little hand movements cracked me up. Started a little rough and I reckon In My Darkest Hour should have been done a little later in the set, but they definitely picked up the ball pretty quickly. They also played movie clips in between songs: a nice little compilation of excerpts fro movies like Wayne's World where Megadeth gets mentioned. Dave Mustaine is a vain bastard and we wouldn't want him any other way. :P A good performance, although the moshing didn't get too mental: I managed to get a decent distance from the front and it was pretty tame.
Also, I yelled at Dave Mustaine to play some Slayer. He didn't, but I'm pretty confident he heard me.
Rob Zombie: Probably the most theatrical of the bunch: most of the band members were dressed up and decked out in makeup. Definitely a little more rowdy than the previous act, but despite Rob's efforts there weren't any breaking bones. Considering I don't actually know that much Zombie songs, I didn't quite enjoy this one as much as the previous set but that's just me. I love the fact that he proclaimed "We are not an American band: we are a New Zealand band!" while dressed in a top hat and coat with the Stars 'n Stripes before launching into "We're an American Band" straight after: you have to appreciate irony like that. The giant balloons thrown into the audience during "Sick Bubblegum" were a nice touch, although I think a good portion of the audience(including me) were more focused on trying to whack the balloons from that point onward. Heh.
Good night all round, spent too much money, lost half of my hearing, generally had a good time. Followed by driving around for 3 hours looking for a hotel and eventually sleeping in the car boot. Good times.
I'll post the next day some point soon, along with some of the loot I got in Auckland. Peace out.- Show previous comments 4 more

Megadeth were meant to be at soundwave this year too, but pulled out because the organiser is a douche. Pretty pissed about that, they are the one 'big' band from my teen years I still haven't seen live :/

They're the only one of the big four of thrash metal that I have seen - they play the music pretty much exactly like you'd hear it on the CD and don't interact with the crowd much, was my experience in the Brixton Academy about 5 years ago. Technical prowess was all there, but they didn't really put on a show like Iron Maiden did when I saw them around the same time in the same venue, for example.

From what I can gather, CyBlock™ appears to be some sort of post modification(similar to Deathbringer's constant "uuuhhhh" syndrome) that shoves the user's post to the right and replaces it with this message:
Posts blocked from view

CyBlock™ Technology.
It also seems to have something to do with Cyb at a guess. :P Any members still sporting CyBlock™? -
So according to ZDoom forums, it's Huy Pham's birthday today. Have a good one dude. Unless it's not really your birthday, in which case have a nice ordinary day. Heh.

Yeah, so I made a website for myself using Microsoft Publisher a while ago, but I never figured out how to get the damn thing on the internet. Can anyone help? From what I've gathered I need some sort of webhost, but I can't really afford to get one I need to pay for. Plus I've never done this before. :/ Anyone have experience with uploading websites?
-
I've done a few. A webhost certainly helps, if money's an issue you can start by checking out free hosting services - most of which rely on advertising to pay the bills and might upset your carefully crafted page layout. It's also worth checking if your internet service plan includes a webspace allocation (could be anywhere from 10 to 50 megabytes) and what conditions are attached to its usage. Self-hosting is an option if you have a static IP and a reasonably fast connection, but it's not for the fainthearted. A fourth option is to have your pages hosted as a subdomain on someone else's site.
As for uploading - that's traditionally done with a FTP client, though whoever hosts your site might also support browser-based uploading.
Have you tested your website with a non-Microsoft browser to see if there are any compatibility issues? -
I've always been lazy and uploaded through the windows shell. Never bothered with an FTP client. If it's a Doom site and relatively small-ish I can probably host it. I can't recall how many ftp accounts I have spare, but I'm sure I can delete an old one that's not being used if need be. PM or email if you're interested.

Apparently I'm a "Doomed Member". I don't recall that being one of the regular ranks, so I'm slightly confused. Also I don't know if I should be flattered or insulted. Heh.

Heh. Isn't there a gif of an Imp popping out a cake around here somewhere? Anyways, I got some headphones, a DVD, chocolate and a book so far. Anyone else wishing to contribute? ;-)
