pcorf Posted April 14, 2009 Its no doubt one of the most recognizable and infamous wads in the history of Doom. I'm not surprised that he was 10 years old when he made it. Paul you've earn't yourself a place in the history of WAD making. 0 Share this post Link to post

Wow.wad might be one of the worst WADS ever but at least it was created by a ten year old and not some grown up adult who creates junk and uploads it to the idgames just for the sake of it. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm not sure why someone would want to take credit for this on a website about their accomplishments. Also, it's probably about on par with the quality of my mapping when I was 10 years old, so I don't find it hard to believe that the creator of it could go on to live a healthy normal life. :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Vermil Posted April 14, 2009 Indeed, an "illuso pit" is a very unique way of describing a hom. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted April 14, 2009 I'm assuming Ling wrote that description of wow.wad expecting the original author to never return to the doom community. Reading from the perspective of Paul, pretending I made wow.wad when I was ten, I'd probably be kinda pissed. 0 Share this post Link to post

IRod54 Posted April 15, 2009 It is pretty funny if you stop to think about it. But yeah, a typical 10-year old wad nonetheless. 0 Share this post Link to post
