esselfortium Posted June 19, 2011 We're long overdue for this thread, a thread for us to share our favorite D_RUNNIN facts and experiences. It's time we as a community stop lying to ourselves. Yes, that's right. Come on, admit it: you know you love D_RUNNIN. That guitar solo... What do you love most about D_RUNNIN? ("Nomusic", "idmus", and similar are not valid answers. This is a thread about D_RUNNIN!) 0 Share this post Link to post
lupinx-Kassman Posted June 19, 2011 I love that when the author forgets or doesn't care to add new music to his pwad, D_RUNNIN is always there for you, through thick and thin, no matter what. 0 Share this post Link to post

Blastfrog Posted June 19, 2011 I realize that this thread is just a joke, but I'm not lying to myself, I really do hate that song to death. :P It's just so noisy and irritating to hear it in any map in the MAP01 slot, besides the original, which is the only place that it fit. Meh, I kinda like D_E1M1 better anyway. The organ part especially is horrid to my ears. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gah, I can't tell if you're joking or not! :P It seems like people are being serious when the don't use any emoticons (with the exceptions of :|, or :\), yet your response is absurd, but I'm leaning toward that that post is a joke too. :P EDIT: and all the responses make it appear as if other perceive it as a joke :P (gee, I sure use the ":P" emoticon a lot, don't I? :P) 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted June 19, 2011 In all seriousness, D_RUNNIN once inspired me to continue working on Eternity when I had about decided to give it up. 0 Share this post Link to post

Marnetmar Posted June 19, 2011 Some say that playing D_RUNNIN in OPL3 will summon an angel. 0 Share this post Link to post
valkiriforce Posted June 19, 2011 I love D_RUNNIN since I mostly play megawads which most of the time replace the music. So I haven't had to hear that song millions of times upon playing single level PWADs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mithran Denizen Posted June 19, 2011 It almost hurts to admit it to myself, but from the moment I hear the opening bass notes, I await this, with a gleam in my eye. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted June 19, 2011 I could listen to that track for days on end - in fact I've done so while sifting the contents of shovelware disks in the hope of finding a lost gem or two. 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted June 19, 2011 It's the perfect melody for a pastoral picnic down by the river with three imps and a shotgun. 0 Share this post Link to post
bgraybr Posted June 19, 2011 I actually like D_RUNNIN. It's one of the most memorable Doom songs for me, besides "Untitled" from Doom 1. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted June 19, 2011 Mainly that it makes me think of Map01 deathmatch duels. 0 Share this post Link to post

Some pwads have a pretty good D_RUNNIN entry - it's a major reason why I normally have a music wad preloaded. The rules you have laid down for this thread prevent me from saying anything about the one in Doom2.wad. 0 Share this post Link to post

Marnetmar Posted June 19, 2011 Why are you surprised to find out that D_RUNNIN inspired Hangar 18, Bloodshedder? 0 Share this post Link to post
SaladBadger Posted June 19, 2011 Ok... I think you guys have found me (and many others) out. I've always claimed to hate the song, and indeed, there are these points in time where I just can't stand to hear it. But then, after having not listened to it for a while, I suddenly get this urge to listen to it, maybe play MAP01 or MAP15 in the process, but I don't think it's one of the songs I'd be able to listen for 8 hours on loop. 0 Share this post Link to post

valkiriforce Posted June 19, 2011 I also think the MP3 version is really awesome. Actually, I'd go as far as to say the Doom/Doom II soundtrack on MP3 is pretty good for the mapping process, but that's not entirely relevant to the awesomeness of D_RUNNIN. 0 Share this post Link to post
