About Me
I'm an antisocial goth, an big industrial music fan, a gaming/computer enthusiast... and believe it or not, actually a pretty good person.
Doom 1 is my favorite game ever, Quake 1 my second favorite; I own all of both series and play them often, but I also play a lot of 90's-style video games in general. Stuff like Unreal, Blood, Team Fortress Classic, Serious Sam, Alien Versus Predator, Painkiller, etc.
I mostly play Doom using GZDoom- I created a custom setup that pretty much perfectly emulates vanilla Doom (more or less) at 320x200, 35 fps. I also use PrBoom+ with ZDL because of the RNG differences in the ZDoom engine, which I personally think makes GZDoom much easier than vanilla. I have a DOSbox full vanilla setup and a Chocolate Doom setup too, but I prefer GZDoom for wads and ease of use. I play using the full default DOS keyboard setup, ctrl to shoot, alt to strafe, shift to run, left/right for turning, etc. For music I use general midi, sometimes timidity with a Gravis Ultrasound PPL160 font, sometimes Nuked OPL, sometimes the 3DO soundtrack... but usually Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth.
I don't play using many mods on an average basis, I prefer vanilla Doom almost exclusively, but maps on the other hand are mainly why I'm here. I love good classic-style wads full of unedited monsters and nothing too flashy or nuanced, and preferably not slaughter or stupid-hard challenge maps.
