This week we will be starting on an adventure through Gridlock 64. Gridlock is a community project with a premise to restrict mappers from using grid sizes smaller than 64 units for vertices. This rule was in place for the mappers to encourage creativity with bigger, simpler designs. Join up to see if you have what it takes to survive!

In searching for something to play this weekend, we stumbled upon an older compilation from the TNS team, released about 6 years ago. This wad is a collection of castle and fortress wads taken from idgames or other locations and was compiled my Memfis. Join in this week for some fun exploration to see if we can conquer the kingdoms and liberate them from the monsters of hell.

For this week’s session we will be taking a stroll through memory lane with IPXMATCH. This wad from Jeannot "NUMBeRsiX" Langlois was released in 1998 and features 32 robust levels, 35 new musics, 40 new deathmatch sounds, and many new graphics! While the levels in this pack may be familiar, there are some goodies added throughout the levels, so join in on the fun and how many frags you can land! Also, we will be using the *.pk7 file which is a 7z-compressed archive consisting of all of the individual wads released with ipxmatch.zip Date: May 29, 2024 Time: 8:00PM CDT Port: Zandronum Server: [USDQC] Wednesday Night Deathmatch #263 - IPXMATCH DMFlags: 6378500 DMFlags2: 1024 ZADMFlags: 32768 CompatFlags: 0 ZACompatFlags: 524296 Skill: Nightmare Fraglimit: 30 or 40 (depending on number of players) Timelimit: 8 IWAD: doom2 PWADs: ipxmatch.pk7, litespree-v1b.pk3 Alt PWADS: wndmskinsv3_gl.wad, altdeathgl.wad, wndm148.wad, litespree-announcers-v1a.pk3 Maps: MAP01-32 Players: 16/32 To keep up with The US Doom & Quake Community, join the USDQC Discord

We will switch things up this week with a throwback to 2010, with Newgothic Movement 1! This wad from ArmouredBlood features 18 gothic, industrial, and hell-themed maps. Newgothic Movement is known for slaughter, but it might be more on the tame side compared to some brutal wads released nowadays. In any doubt, keep those guns hot in order to stop the hordes of monsters!

The summer months are almost upon us and we are back to Zandronum for a couple of weeks! To get things kicked off, we will be running through Uptight Deathmatch!

I hope the 3 hours of agony wasn’t too much agony last week. For this week’s FNS we will be running through Operation: Biowar! Biowar is a wad released in 1999 from Chris Harbin, Paul Corfiatis, and John Bishop. It contains 19 levels and features some hell and techbase themed levels. The difficulty of this one shouldn’t be bad for the first rotation, so hopefully the latter rotations can up the ante!

Yet another Friday and another night to survive! For this week’s wad we have a 32 map megawad from the French Doom community with 3 heures d'agonie! For this mapset, the goal was to have each map created within a three hour time limit. This allowed for some long maps and some short maps and as such, we will be running through the wad in its entirety.. Join up and see if you have what it takes to survive!

Coffee Break, Coffee Cakes!.. Drake's! Quakk Quack!! haha that's pretty awesome, chef duck and all! Everyone enjoys a little coffee break an now and again ;)

Ahhh the first Friday in May… With spring in the air, how about we slow things down and enjoy a nice little break.. Maybe a Coffee Break, perhaps? For this week we will be revisiting a wad we ran almost 3 years ago, with Coffee Break Episode 1! Originally planned as a 32-map megawad, this wad only contains 11 maps. Sometimes things don’t go as originally planned.. Nonetheless, 11 maps should be plenty for a Friday night full of survival goodness. Come on out and help us survive!

This week we are featuring FreeDM: Classic Edition! This wad is essentially FreeDM ported into a pwad. Who says you have to only play FreeDM to be able to enjoy the levels? Since FreeDM is its own iwad, sometimes these levels are missed, and we felt it would be great for people to be able to experience some of the hard work put in by the FreeDoom team to create these maps. It has been a couple of years since we have ran this one and felt it was time for a return. Come on out and join in on the fun and frag the night away!

We will continue on our journey through The Ultimate Doom wad, No End in Sight! While we did finish the first session on e3m4, we will back-track to the start of the episode to allow players to join in and stock up for some of the coming levels. As mentioned last time, this wad provides a new devious spin on the classic episode themes, exploring parallel worlds, derelict spaceships, and traveling to the far side of Phobos and beyond.

They are some awesome maps! I Love the verticality and the flow. It seemed like the majority enjoyed them as well. Definitely a fun and refreshing wad! :)
