I don't know where the normal exit is in E2M5. I always just take the secret exit.

I think I used the resurrect cheat at least twice when playing through Suspended in Dusk today.

Oh, here's another one. I was pretty obsessive-compulsive on my first playthroughs of Doom. Every monster had to die, every bit of ammo and health snatched up, so I'd shoot off rounds to pick up spares at the end and use damage floors for bruising Doomguy. I don't know if it came from the ITEMS percentage (which I thought meant every item) or what.

That sounds awesome. But what if you are full on rockets and don't have a launcher?

I discovered Doom when I was already in my thirties and I was playing both of them till my fingers bled , for years and years , totally unaware that out there people are making some stuff , called wads , mods ... Then I found out about that , and I had a HUGE problem : I didn't have a clue how the hell to load them . My ignorance was ( and still is ) so big , that I don't even know how to put a link to the stupid question I asked here on Doomworld . That is how I earned this nice status,anyway... So , a year has passed , and I can say that I have played every goddamn wad that was ever made , so I managed to catch up with all of you guys , more or less , heh. And,one more thing - I am 40 now and I am female . I hope everyone reading this is having a laugh , seriously , this is a odd story/confession , that nobody can even come close to .

I haven't yet managed to fully catch-up or outrun one yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a demo out there of that.

I almost never use the plasma rifle and bfg, thinking I'd better
save the ammo for that big fight that's coming up...then exit with
600~ cells. (Getting better at cutting loose, but I generally hoard
supplies.)

• Shooting monsters actually bores me extremely quickly.
  
  
• For the last five years I've been intending to get properly up to speed with the inner workings of the Doom engine, and I have the source code for a dozen engine variants sitting in front of me at all times, but I never really dig into the code unless I'm specifically looking for something.
  
  
• I like Doom95's down-shifted sound effects. Not quite enough to actually use Doom95, but still.
  
  
• Barring heinous disruption to my free time, I run through the shareware episode at least once per month, and I'm still not sick of it. When my other commitments aren't in the way, I'll tend to run through it once per day.
  
  
• Like some others here, the list of praised wads that I haven't yet played is pretty extensive, and it keeps getting longer, as more projects are finished before I play through the earlier stuff. Just off the top of my head, I've never played Serenity, Hell Revealed 2, Action Doom 2, Harmony, Speed of Doom, Alien Vendetta, Crucified Dreams, Memento Mori, Memento Mori 2, Icarus, Scythe, Doom Core, Null Space, Unloved, Kama Sutra, Congestion 1024, Deus Vult, Plutonia 2, or Whispers of Satan.

Hence my oft-expressed hatred for slaughter maps.

I actually just finished maps 1-4 of Sunder on UV, and enjoyed every minute of it, though. Maybe the strengths in layout and architecture took my mind off of how boring it is to massacre hordes of monsters, I'm not sure.

I confess, that most of what passes for popular in wads/mapping bores me to tears and I truly feel that most mappers only ape what others have done (over and over) and have no originality or real talent at mapping whatsoever! It's like playing an instrument. Just about anyone can practise and get basic technique... very few can use that technique to write good quality music.

Is it weird that another confession of mine is that the only reason I continued playing Doom when I first played it because I loved all of the blood in the Pinky death animation and thus couldn't get enough pixelated violence?

I assume resurrect brings the dead player back to life. I have never used this cheat because I hadn't heard of it until I read this thread. :D

• Restart the map from a pistol start, assuming it's worth the attention of a second play.
  
  
• Resurrect from where I fell, so that I can quickly see the entire map and get it over with.
  
  
• Quit playing upon death, then delete the wad and forget about it.
