DOOM config:  the usual WASD setup, joyb_speed 29 and music off (listening to the same tune during a four-hour-recording-session usually breaks my nerves, I prefer to listen to other music while playing Doom)
Size of DOOM directory on your hard drive: about 700 MB, more on my old machine
Favourite DOOM Maps:
- IWADs: no favourites on Doom and Doom II, I like all maps (except Map31), but haven't played them for a long time; Plutonia 32, 29, 23, most of the rest is also excellent.
- PWADs: Scythe (Map26;), Kama Sutra (Map26 ;), Alien Vendetta (05, 06, 11, 18, 29 and of course 20 - it's so beautiful, the best -nomonsters map ever), Hell Revealed (episodes 2 and 3, but for demo watching mainly), Hell Revealed II Map32, and I just fell in love to Scythe II - episode V.
Favorite DOOM demos:  all 30nm's, the AV demopack, all demos from Vile, Sedlo (30uv1617 :) and Ryback; there are too much great players and demos to mention here - I watch all demos, like most of them.
Favorite Executable(s) to use:
PrBoom 2.2.4
Some of your DOOM achievements:
I did some nice demos on Scythe (sn24-039, my Map26 collection). From my (few) compet-n demos I like pl32noBFG. I rarely do longer demos, but h2322456 is not bad :)
Other games:
- actually: Diablo II, Heroes of Might & Magic III and Quake (watching demos only), sometimes WarCraft III, Pro Pinball Timeshock! or Jagged Alliance 2
- classics I would play again: Ultima 7 - The Black Gate and Serpent Isle (great story!!!), Ultima Underworld 1/2, Wizardry 7, LucasArts adventures, Magic Carpet (Peter Molyneux's best and one of the most underrated games)

A few questions:
1. Do you play DOOM more than any other game? If not, what game takes up more of your obviously misguided time?
Overall yes. Sometimes I leave Doom for weeks and months and switch to another game (actually I often waste my time with Diablo II). But it always has to wait if there's a new demo to watch, so Doom is always on my focus even when I'm burned out from recording or I'm losing interest in playing the greatest game of all time :)
2. Ever played multiplayer DOOM? If so, what?
Not seriously. I remember some deathmatch sessions with my brothers almost ten years ago.
3. About when did you start playing DOOM?
1994. From 1996 to 1999 I had no computer. Then I've got the P150. I went online 2000, but noticed the Doom demo community only 2 years (!!!) later. What a shame! Damn! That was so stupid. Wasting this time with StarCraft ... So much demos not recorded. What a tragedy *sigh*
4. Do you make maps?
I tried a bit about 8-10 years ago, but never released anything.
5. DOOM3?
I haven't played it yet. I'm not interested in it. The stupid violence makes me vomit.
6. Favorite monster / most hated monster?
Cyberdemon / -fast PE
7. Music you like
- The canadian rockband Rush. It's the soundtrack of my life. I love all their music.
- Kate Bush. Still waiting for her 8th album :( My favourite is The Dreaming.
- Dream Theater, incl. side projects (Liquid Tension Experiment) and solo performances (Jordan Rudess, James LaBrie).
- I also like Depeche Mode, Sting, Mekong Delta, Psychotic Waltz (A Social Grace), Sven Väth (until Fusion), Estampie (Ondas), Death (Chuck Schuldiner rules, I will never forget him), movie soundtracks (Alien3 by Elliot Goldenthal, The Incredibles, Beauty and the Beast, Ennio Morricone).
