I know this sort of thing was certain to happen in Dehacked vanilla Doom with projectiles. 12-11-11 15:02 # Profile || Blog || PM || Homepage || Search || Add Buddy IP || Edit/Delete || Quote

It's utterly unplayable, at about 1 FPS per 3 seconds real time, but it loads, and runs. Properly programmed logic does not stop working when it is multiplied by a large number of instances. Only a program with severe glitches has such a problem. 12-11-11 17:54 # Profile || Blog || PM || Email || Homepage || Search || Add Buddy IP || Edit/Delete || Quote
