I never really figured out a good strategy for dealing with Vores, and they tend to end a level run for me more consistently than Shamblers. I'm still mad the dragon from that pre-release screenshot never showed up. Also I'm positive I played through both of the OG expansion packs through their entirety on nightmare years ago, but I don't remember them at all and it seems like I should.

Compulsively picked up this Doom shareware while thrift shopping the other day. I don't actually have a 3.5" floppy drive at the moment though, so I can't say whether the disks work or not, lol Wish it had the version number printed somewhere, but it's dated from 1994, so it's gotta be between vers 1.2-1.666, right?

I'm head over heels with these things and I've been drinking way too many of them lately

This silly licensed track from Roadrash: Jailbreak's soundrack-

Just picked up Powerslave: Exhumed for the Switch last week. Not very far through it yet, and worried I'll eventually put it down because of the backtracking through levels aspect, but blown away by Nightdive's work as always. Also wondering if I should've started the game on a higher difficulty setting, lol. I chose the easiest because I'm generally terrible with the joycons X)

Just nah. But hope everyone's day has been decent. I ate some tofu and cereal a coworker gave me and took a nap. No regrets. Now I gotta find a way to ignore the booming sounds of fireworks, lol

Been the better half of a decade now since I watched it, but from what I remember- -it got much better towards the end of S2 when it really started to depart from the "how's the gang gonna get out of THIS ONE?? (by the end of the episode)" formula. -I didn't really like how it depicted drug users. -Most of the main characters were acted brilliantly. Probably worth watching if you can stomach something depressing/frequently violent.

The bright/frequently-untextured polys, the loud sfx and announcers (sometimes you could even hear them over the rest of the machines...) I dunno, maybe they just played well with my ADHD, but I really liked the bombastic tone/presentation of a lot of those games XD

I kinda grew up playing NES, 2600, and downloads from DOS abandonware sites, so my tastes kinda skew way older than they should. Totally adored late 70s and early 80s arcade games. Space War was great if you could convince someone to play it with you. Battlezone and Star Wars Arcade were fantastic. Loved Discs of Tron. Spent an embarassing number of hours with Pacman and Donkey Kong 2600, lol. Far from the oldest, but did anyone else play Cybersled? Nothing was cooler to me as a kid than the fully decked out vehicle-cabinets.

They spin when you fidget with them, seems about right 👍

Now that I've played No End In Sight, I usually leave them until I'm extra sure they aren't going to be important later.

I really liked the weapon designs in Unreal Tournament 3, come to think of it. Kinda surprised nobody's mentioned Rise of the Triad's various missile launchers yet though.

Tofu sandwiches for lunch at work, rolled oats as though they were grain bowls, and vegetable purée porridges lately. I cook most of my food in a microwave, lol.

Ah, so many great songs to pick- tbh, I doubt I'd have quite the same love of music if it weren't for some of my favorite wads' soundtracks. Despite that, the first thing I remembered when I saw this thread was Haddaway's "What is Love?" playing in the Doom Legacy version of DSV4 by Kaiser, so... welp.

Agreed on finite actor height. Seriously, maps usually aren't designed with infinitely tall characters in mind, and even the stock-levels poorly accounted for them. Still feel like I'm cheezing everytime I soar over a mass of imps or pinkies though.
