  1. I'd like to have seen a part where they use the divinity machine to remove the Slayer's power and strength, and he comes out just as angry and strong as before. Basically - in keeping with 2016, every time you think something is going to be explained, just make it even more inexplicable.
  2. It's real hard to beef up a hitscanner's difficulty without making them just unfun to battle. Maybe she splits into smaller masterminds every so often?
  3. Every WAD ever made by anyone is canon and took place between 64 and 2016. Doom Guy has been stuck dimension hopping like some kind of Moorcockian Eternal Champion.
  4. and I guess I should dig through the Spaceorb software with a hex editor to verify then update the wiki.
  5. Interesting. Can’t believe I’d never heard of this until now. It’s thirty years late, but I wonder if somebody could have used this to write better mouse drivers (sensitivity that doesn’t crash the game when it’s set high, disable forward/backwards movement, etc.)
  6. Bought a Spaceorb 360 to play around with on my old MS-DOS PC. It’s really for Descent but thought it’d be fun to give it a shot in a few other games. Loaded the drivers, fired up Doom 2 v1.9 and it worked as expected. Until I pressed the “D” button on the controller and this happened… https://youtu.be/tL_Tu5_4Q6Y (For those who don’t want to watch, I go rocketing down the hallway at far beyond normal speed while it prints a “green is turbo” message) Is that a built in functionality in Doom for weird controllers? Was the driver doing this? Would this have worked in Deathmatch? In general — WTF?
  7. YouTuber I follow (St1ka) just posted a video about a Greek-exclusive comic book that was intended to be a prequel to Doom. His summary is "This comic feels like it was written by an edgy 14-year old." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vXqZKQXHuk The comic itself can be read here: https://sweetshark.itch.io/doom-memories-from-hell
  8. Is there a version of this or anything similar that brings dual shock support to the original version? I’d like to play the familiar Doom episodes on my MiSTer with DS controls.
  9. Turns out the other marine on the OG cover art is not just canon, but he’s now the dark lord? or maybe it’s a cheeky way of making deathmatch canon. I’ve always hoped the conclusion would involve the slayer getting his gifts revoked but remaining just as totally bad ass while every God like entity around him complains that doesn’t make any sense.
  10. Finished Doom 2 with Brutal Doom mod on ultraviolence. What's popular opinion on Brutal Doom? I found it pretty fun, and it seemed balanced. Then again, I never actually tried to finish Doom 2 on UV before so I wouldn't know if it was harder/easier.

  11. Replaying Duke 3D recently and how well it holds up just makes me all the angrier about the fiasco that was DNF.

      Duke 3D is legendary, the only other FPS game I played as much as Doom (Quake I is third)
