Bloodshedder Posted December 25, 2012 Wait a minute... it's not December 10th. I suppose you thought we gave up on the Cacowards? Nonsense, but we did need some extra time to put it together after our expected emcee was conspicuously absent on Doom's birthday. Who wrote the 19th Annual Cacowards? Xaser, kmxexii, Alfonzo, and a guest appearance from Scuba Steve; all of these people stepped up to the plate for this special event. Did you know that I almost gave up on Doomworld yesterday? As an unexpected early Christmas present, AtomicGamer upgraded the version of PHP used on the web server. It's not really a surprise that most of the 10-year-old code behind the site broke because of it. For a time, I thought the damage would be unrepairable, but a few quick hacks later, 90% of the site's previous functionality (ignoring the stuff that hasn't worked for years) is back up and running. The rest of it is still being worked on. 0 Share this post Link to post

Katamori Posted December 25, 2012 Yaaay, I've really waited for it! Lainos may be happy now: not only he got a birthday present map, but also he won on Cacoward! 0 Share this post Link to post
dew Posted December 25, 2012 congrats to khorus & the awardees, many thanks to xas/kmxexii/fonz for their valiant effort. the mp pick is... not how i would've even approached this category, but that's for an extensive debate. 0 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted December 25, 2012 I love the expanded detail this year. Its gotta be like this or better from now on :D Going to link a friend to them, she'll surely enjoy this years awards. Glad to see Strife Absolute Order getting an award, it needs much more recognition. I filed a request for the game on GOG for that purpose, you all should too ;D Hopefully next year will have HacX 2.0 out and winning awards, it'll be great having awards for all Doom engine games (Im sure Hexen's gotten one at some point...if not this must happen!) 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted December 25, 2012 What Are We Waiting For? There's an entire backlog of brilliance bound for release in 2013, and I for one can't wait to be crushed under its inexorable quality. How about you? They include, in no particular order: TNT II: Devilution Back to Saturn X Doom II The Way id Did The Shores of ZDoom No End in Sight Zdoom Community Project: Take II Hacx 2.0 Doom II Redux Vela Pax Supplice Unholy Realms Threshold of Pain II Curse of the Demon Lord Brotherhood of Ruin - The Lost Temple Revelations of Doom Hellbound Doom X Okay so far...Necromantic Thirst Wasn't it canceled or am I confusing it with something else?UAC Ultra 2 Urban Brawl DLC Wait, what?32in24-13 Community Chest 5 I guess they're inevitable, though I wouldn't bet on CC5 being started, completed, and released all in 2013. 0 Share this post Link to post

kmxexii Posted December 26, 2012 Some of those are jokes. NT's project leader gave up on it but I've heard several members talk about finishing their maps on this forum so I don't think it's dead, it's just in limbo. It would be nice to see some stud grab the reigns though. 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted December 26, 2012 awesome cacowards and every winner was thoroughly deserving. Hopefully next years will not have the late drama of this years awards :P So glad base Ganymede got an award, love that wad and also Khorus was an excellent choice for mapper of the year. Kind of forgotten about him when deliberating myself 0 Share this post Link to post

Am ashamed to say I've only played one of the winning cacowards! Eep. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cupboard Posted December 26, 2012 Flippin' awesome-sauce. Thumbs up on the composition style, even if things were slightly D. Lade, haha. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pieruskwurje Posted December 26, 2012 All three of you reviewers did quite the outstanding job, considering that the reviews have returned to their natural more-than-one-paragraph setting. Also, I feel so incredibly honoured to have my mod reviewed by Xaser! Thank you kind sir! :P 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted December 26, 2012 YAY! Cacowards! I can put the gun down and stop holding my breath. Mad props to Bloodshedder for dragging the forums out of the seventh level of Hell. 0 Share this post Link to post

I for one would have been crying "FIX!" if Winter's Fury hadn't scored an award. It's by far and away the most astounding GZDoom mod I've played in ages and ranks up there with the likes of Titan 2 and UTnT. Congratulations to everyone else who won. Hopefully next year's will go a bit smoother. 0 Share this post Link to post

savagegrant Posted December 26, 2012 Thank you for another qualitaaah Cacowards. It is sad to hear that 5 of us have passed away in the last year though. It feels like the life expectancy of a Doom community member is a bit shorter than the rest of the Internets. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
Khorus Posted December 26, 2012 Oh wow, wasn't expecting this. :) Thanks for the kind words, and thanks to those who brought these awards to fruition. And congratulations to all winners! :D 0 Share this post Link to post

Deathmatcher Posted December 26, 2012 Awesome to see that the Awards have made it! Congrats to all the winners. I have played about a third of them so far. Gotta catch up on the rest. Can the Strife one be played with a doom iwad btw? 0 Share this post Link to post
