Manc Posted December 10, 2007 It's that time again, my dear Doom fans - tic another mark for Doom! Doom is 14 years old today, and despite many sayers to the contrary, new Doom awesomeness is being pumped out even to this day. And in our long standing tradition, we're here today to present The 14th Annual Cacowards conducted by Action Doom creator and self-made hugonaut Stephen "Scuba Steve" Browning! Were you a nominee? Were you not? Can you handle the trivia? Find out and stick around the forums when you're done to discuss the awesome. Happy Birthday Doom! 0 Share this post Link to post

Kristian Ronge Posted December 10, 2007 Hmm, the Mordeth Award could probably have gone to Wonderful Doom. Wraith said in the .txt that it took 3 years to build, whereas the KDiZD build time in its .txt is claimed to be "only" 2 years and 9 months. ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post

leileilol Posted December 10, 2007 Just read the cacowards. No 'Wonderful Doom' in the list, just as a runner up? ugh what happened for big awards for good levels, but it should at least get the Mordeth Award for taking longer than KDiZD. 0 Share this post Link to post
Deeforce Posted December 10, 2007 Doom will never die! Prepare yourselves for the next year of doom with more good levels and stuff! 0 Share this post Link to post

Could somebody note who wrote the text for each award? Was it Scuba or deathz0r that said they wouldn't be doing this again? 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted December 10, 2007 david_a said: Could somebody note who wrote the text for each award? To me it's more or less evident for the most part... at first I breezed through the intro thinking it was all done by Scuba, till I noticed that what some of the awards said was incompatible with anything he would say, so I went back and informed myself on who had contributed. But it would probably have been better to sign each review (like Ling and Mord did during 10 years). 0 Share this post Link to post
John Smith Posted December 10, 2007 I'd say that Wonderful Doom deserves a proper award, but as I haven't played half the maps on the list, I have no idea what it should replace. Other than that, its great, no complaints. Grats to all, and happy birthday Doom! 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted December 10, 2007 Has it been noticed by anyone so far in Doom's life that linetype 4: W1-OpenDoorWaitClose can be activated by monsters? 0 Share this post Link to post
Colusio Posted December 10, 2007 For me "wonderful doom" and "Demons of Problematique" are better then cchest3. Because cchest3 had some disappointing things in it like: Dutch Devil and Pcorf made better wads this year then the ones in cchest3. Cchest3 had some very good maps and one I would really call exceptional "Welcome to the machine". But compared to cchest2 it has less good maps. (but also less bad maps). Compared to cchest2 it lacks depth. (variation, exploration of the doom language I mean :No "the mucus flow",no "no room" and no "thematic elements". 0 Share this post Link to post
