Chrispaks Posted January 24, 2010 I accidentally saved in one slot for the whole game, and managed to somehow click save as the rocket was probably a pixel behind me. Too fast for me to go into God Mode to re-capture my save spot :( Thus I had to restart completely from the beginning. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thus the stupidest thing you've done in Doom is not pistol-starting from where you left off :P 0 Share this post Link to post

eargosedown Posted January 25, 2010 I've just seen this month was stx-Vile's pacifist run of Dead Simple. I have to say my face had quite a stupid look of amazement as I tried to comprehend how badass that jump just was. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bastet Furry Posted January 25, 2010 Way back in 1997, modifying MAP08 (that one with the Mancubi on cubes) to include $MANY Cyberdemons and playing that with my friends in Coop. We could watch ourselfs die. 0 Share this post Link to post
Archfile Posted January 25, 2010 I can still remember my stupidest/funniest thing on DooM. I ran one slope down, i didnt saw there was a barrel, so shotgunguy shooted the barrel, and i died. And i didnt have saved the game. Well, the funner was on HeXeN. You know that Hub 2, there was the teleport to the ice area so i ran so fast that i got squished by the exit. 0 Share this post Link to post
Young Cyberdemon Posted February 6, 2010 The most stupid thing i ever did on doom is spending five minutes at least trying to figure out a way to open it... i went to all four corners of the map looking for a switch... i went back to the door to see if it had opened and then i asked for help from my mum who had never played... she found a swich immediately to the right of the door... Another silly thing has in doom2 lvl8 tricks and traps i went to attack the 20 odd barons of hell and the cyberdemon with my fist... :D 0 Share this post Link to post

Optimus Posted February 6, 2010 Another stupid thing I am being doing lot's of times: - Wow, an invulnerability sphere. Should I take it? - Maybe it's here for a reason. Maybe I should wait when all hell breaks loose and then take it. - Or maybe exactly when I take it a trap will be triggered and all hell will break loose so it's the right way to go. - What the hell, let's take it! - Oh, nothing happened.. - I MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE!!! - No, it's all white, I can't see where I have to go next, where are a lot of monsters to kill them with my chainsaw? Oh no, maybe there is a button here,.. - It turns to normal from white. I do an action. All hell breaks loose :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted February 6, 2010 Heh the invuln example is typical. The duration/number of these bonuses are seldom calibrated for the type of map at hand, especially in PWADs. In MAP01 it could last 2 minutes, on MAP02 it could last 30 seconds. Most usually you end up in between a hell that already broke loose, with the invuln lasting too little to be able to kill everything. Usually it barely buys enough time to find an escape, or allows you to use rockets at CQ. 0 Share this post Link to post

Vile Posted February 13, 2010 Probably trying to make maps for the game. It made me feel silly since I felt like I had more problems ridding the few rooms I made of bugs than anything else. A lack of inspiration was another hinderance; I felt like I had good ideas for rooms, but they didn't fit well together and took me too long to make them look right. I gave it a try, but in the end, I doubt my contributions would have been missed. :P As far as gameplay blunders go, I made a thread about that. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted February 14, 2010 It's too bad you stopped mapping, Vile. Maps made by demo recorders = always a good thing! 0 Share this post Link to post

Spleen Posted February 14, 2010 The stupidest thing I did was waiting until a couple years ago before participating in the community. For years, I thought nobody besides me still played DOOM, lol. I somehow managed to miss all the good WADs like Hell Revealed and Memento Mori, and thought all PWADs were crap in comparison to the IWADs. I was such an idiot. 0 Share this post Link to post
