ZDaemon Thursday Night Survival #242 - Mano Laikas: A road to Gamzatti

[TeamTNS]

Nicolas Monti's mapping style is very specific; those who played for example Erkattnäññe or one of the Favillesco episodes certainly know. What we will be running through this Thursday's night is his last work though; Mano Laikas is a full vanilla megawad that has seen its final release at the end of February, and we shall take a large fresh bite of that intriguing strangeness.

From the txt: "This mapset also encourages the use of the rocket launcher..." this will certainly go down well with TNS rule #1, haha.

People demanded PAIN so we removed maps 17-30 from the maplist for this session.

Pain rota is currently on, come join if you think you can survive!
