Mods or games I should play

• Supplice
• Brutal Fate

My favorite original Doom maps are as follows:

• Episode 1, map 2 "Nuclear Plant", because the design is very technological
• Episode 4, map 3 "Sever the Wicked", because for me it's full of action from many directions.
• Doom 2, map 16 "The Suburbs", because of the minimalist and funny design.
• TNT Evilution map 12: "Crater", because of the space-travel background.

I recommend the following solely or primarily weapon mods:

Vanilla

• Beautiful Doom (great for combination with other mods as it let's you control which features of the mod can be turned on or off under "Beautiful Options" menu.
• Smooth Doom.
• EVP - Enhanced Vanilla Project.

Chocolate

• Led's Generic Weapons.
• Final Doomer.
• Supercharge (which I have found slightly more comfortable than Minicharge).
• Zagemod
• Brutal Doom.
• Brutal Doom Platinum.
• Project Brutality.
• Hellrider
• High Noon Drifter (which I'd less prefer for techbase-oriented-WADs).

I recommend these mod combinations

• Beautiful Doom (weapons only) AND Voxel for great 3D experience.
• Master Levels for Doom 2 with Hellrider.
• Supercharge with The Brotherhood of Ruin.

I recommend these maps/general mods

• DOOMONE
• Maps of Chaos.
• Brutal Doom Starter Pack.
• Double Impact (which is also the fourth chapter of FreeDoom and anyway very very techbase).
• Pirate Doom.

General recommendations

• I recommend checking the works of Simon Judd and especially "BloodRust"

Doom graphics discussions

• Should we say that Doom is two-dimensional, two-and-a-half dimensional, or both?
• What is the meaning of the term Y-shearing?
• Are Doom graphics based on Projective geometry?

Why I prefer Chasm: The Rift, over Quake

• It's more colorful.
• The enemies are cooler.
• I like the weapon mechanics more.
