Oh man @Doomkid! That video is straight cancer!!! The colours, the frame rate, the compression all added to the Rick Picks and track!!! I am 99% sure I now have cancer just from watching it :-P Keep up the good work!

 

For me it’s the themes as laid out in HDoom... that thing is an abomination and needs to die!!!

This is the worst piece of media ever created by a human being

[KeaganDunn]

I have to agree with At Doom's Gate. I've always thought that piece should be exclusive only to E1M1 - Hangar. The opening to Doom should always be the opening to Doom. It's so jarring hearing that along with other tracks exclusive to certain maps in The Plutonia Experiment.

This thread makes me want a community project where every map is based on a MIDI pop song.

Now I'm apprehensive of posting more shitty music that shouldn't be in a doom wad because DoomKid will probably come up with it. ;)

Gorillaz - Dare

 

....by no means a perfect MIDI - it could definitely use some work - but...

Eiffel 65 - Blue

 

 

I might be wrong, but doesn't Swim With The Wales's map31 use a midified version of this one?

Yes, and it's incredible.

Nah, that would be a quest for really bad songs. Here I was more looking at heard-so-many-times-they-turned-into-meme songs.

 

For really bad music, I'd suggest building a megawad around the production of the Portsmouth Sinfonia.

[Koko Ricky]

Any commercially released music being that 1) it's illegal without permission and 2) most commercial music isn't really appropriate for a gaming setting as non-diegetic music has a different compositional approach, typically.

[Doominator2]

I've always thought it would be funny and tasteless to have some midi cop/porno music that was so prevalent in the 70s.

[Robo_Cola]

I imagine this wouldn't be too pleasant in MIDI form

In midi form it woud be really difficult to achieve, but something like this totally fits on a very atmospheric map.
I may say i been searching for something like this, so thanks for this ;)

[Mara]

Obligatory. Not sure if I should add a warning here or not.

 

 

[Fadri]

I bet no map has used this song ever...

 

 

You should be a complete lunatic to use it.

[Gokuma]

Madonna's "Like a Virgin"

 

At least I've heard you shouldn't have it as your entry music getting into the ring for a kickboxing match.   No wait, I heard jokingly you should have it.

 

Also Limp Bizkit.   It's such repetitive simplistic garbage, aside from Fred Durst being a scumbag.   I put a midi in a joke map.   Actually the first song I tried was way too repetitive and annoying and changed it to a slightly less irritating one.

[Snikle]

If this community project here lines up, I call making a map for Nickelback's "Rockstar." It would be huge for me and my friends.

[ButteredToast]

Initial D songs, the beat drop is too hard for doom 1&2 and whatnot, with doom 2016 or doom eternal's dynamic music it could work.

[Capellan]

Just in case you thought I was kidding:

 

 

[Cinnamon]

I'm going to be a tad biased here, but I find it hard to imagine "Lady in Red" to have a solid MIDI-rendition. Then again, MIDI-producers for DOOM WADs never cease to amaze me, so it's likely I'm wrong.

[Doom64hunter]

That one song from "Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary" for obvious reasons.

[Pirx]

that reminds me of a prank i pulled on a friend long ago, must have been 1998, when titanic was at the top of the box office. i liked it for being a james cameron disaster movie, but he hated that "my heart will go on" song with a passion. we played dm on some of the brit.wads and i recorded a demo where i smacked him, causing him to rage quit. yeah he was a bit quick to rage back then. (all on an old dos version of legacy, i should still have that all archived.)

then i played back the demo, having the music replaced with a midi of the titanic song. he exploded in expletives, because apparently, having that midi as the background of his performance was the worst mockery.

a bit later, everything was fine again, but i never guessed what effect a little midi could have.
