I am so bored of Doom2's soundtrack that if I see any maps (particularly megawads) that have no new music, I'm unlikely to download them.

Can you play well at all without strafing? That would be interesting to see.

Well enough, i'm by no means any kind of Doom-God but i can cope well enough in multiplayer games and in UV on single player. I think someone could play well in any method if they practised it long enough and I've been playing for almost 14 years

• Occasionally my obsessive automap completist side surfaces, and I need to fill the automapping of a level before I give myself permission to exit it. Of course without touching IDDT or by picking up the computer map item.
  
• During recent years I've developed a habit out of playing through Doom II MAP01 and MAP02 at least once a week, sometimes as often as once a day. Overall I've probably played them hundreds of times.
  
• Nearly every time I play MAP01, I do this:

  And enjoy it immensely each time.

-Someone already said this but if I play a single map wad on map 1 I ALWAYS kill the three soldiers on Map 2
-When I download a megawad, I always warp to random levels and run through them until I die to help me decide whether I want to play them or not
-I am so bored of Doom2's soundtrack that if I see any maps (particularly megawads) that have no new music, I'm unlikely to download them.
-Despite spending a large amount of time reviewing other people's work as a Newstuff reviewer back in 2005, I have never had the balls to release any of my work. And, although many aspects of my mapping have gotten pretty good, I have never figured out how to align teleport textures, so always just use a water texture for teleports.
-And probably the most shameful is that I never used strafe long enough to get used to it so...I don't strafe. Ever.

I play E1M1-E1M4 often, each week. E1M1 doesn't get old, its my favourite map on any doom iwad/pwad

I feel guilty if I cheat, so I very rarely do it, unless I want to idclip and explore a level. So if I download a custom map and can't get through it, I simply don't finish it, or frustrate the hell out of myself trying to do it without cheating.

Yeah i'm the same way. I won't cheat and if I can't finish a level without cheating I simply don't finish it. But that doesn't really feel like a confession. I've been assuming everyone played that way.

I've probably played MAP01 thirty thousand times. Every single time I make sure to get all 100% kills and secrets before I hit the exit switch, at which point I finally turn off the game. Sometimes I do this multiple times a day.

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.

I never play Doom in single-player without cheating (exept for testing my own/friends maps). I find it...boring :0

- I have only played multiplayer Doom on a LAN, around '98 or '99. I have never downloaded a multiplayer PWAD. As a matter of fact, I don't even read the /newstuff reviews of multiplayer maps;

I don't know what the fuck Rule 34 is, or 63, etc. I'm kinda curious, but I imagine noone will tell me because it makes them feel too cool to be in on the secret, which is very lame of you. <------reverse psychology, sort of
