Obviously there's no denying the actual medikit, but its placement at the X coordinate of -1504 certainly reveals a deeper meaning than one may expect.

Very true, I did not think of that. The triangulation with the shotgun shells in the upper left and that barrel over there is eerie.

Reminds me of 'NAM.

-1504! WOW that's cool! Because my birthday is -1/5/04 !!! I think that medikit was meant just for me :-D

Upon entering the open hallway, I question the true necessity of the pillar in the middle. I understand its asthetic value, but what is it supporting? I mean, can I get a witness?

The roof?

I believe they're there to keep the actual pathway from falling into the nukage.

Medkits? They are useless for me. But then, I always cheat ^_^

Look at the hallway monkey! It's got an OPEN CEILING!


It's supporting the sky texture?

[Shaviro]

Nice lighting at the door!

LOL of course!!! Wouldn't the sky fall down otherwise?

[Manc]

Man, I just can't get enough of getting that blue key, then BAM! Lights go out. I always wonder if it's a power outtage, or if the imps are throwing me a surprise party.


Once the door opens tho, it seems pretty obvious when they come out and don't have a cake.


Alright, that's as far as I'm going. Talk amongst yourselves for a while.

Of course, who knows how strong an effect the gravity generators at the base might have on the sky. The designer obviously thought it necessary to prevent the entire sky from falling through the roof and blocking your path.

People used to believe the 'sky could fall down'!

Yeah! Like what if the sky killed you everytime on the third level!! LOL taht would suck :-D But that nukage at the beginning kills me everytime anyways!!!

Yeah! It's like the ultimate trap! First they encourage you with a stimpack making sure you'll walk right into the nukage!

The tech column under the open sky is actually a trap for cacodemons. If they hover too closely above the roof, they'll get sucked into the pillar and never get out again. The minced and compressed caco meat is later transfered through the floor and sent through a pipeline to E1M6. Ever wondered why there are no cacos in E1? It's due to that thing.

Used to get me too! Just use the shotgun and imp as warnings of the horror to come! omg!

how evil and.... extremely cool! :D

I really like the way the small start room leads into a much larger room afterward. Very theatrical.

It's pretty surprising, actually! I'm always shocked and horrified when I see that large room. I thought it would be small room galore all the way through!

I see it also works for the sky, because I notice a lot of sky in E1M6 as well.
