Vorpal Posted December 10, 2016 I actually played contemporary wads this year (usually I get to them 5 years after release). I agree with some entries and disagree with others, but that's what the cacowards should be imo. It's not an interesting read if it's just the community's top 10 circlejerk picks, gotta have some surprises in there! 0 Share this post Link to post

Jaxxoon R Posted December 10, 2016 I guess 23 may not be such a long time in reality, but in the vidya game industry that's like gotta be ages and forever. 0 Share this post Link to post
Decay Posted December 10, 2016 I am super happy to see MXU make another appearance, 3 years in a row now! Thanks for the kinds words about AeonDM, dew. A ton of hard work went into it, and although it didn't really gain the extra-outsourced mapping power I was hoping to attract here, I for one am still really pleased with how it turned out, and so far several pub play sessions indicate positive responsiveness to the layouts as well. Given that Aeon was originally made to be simple additional maps for DBAB, that goal was met. And yes, who knows what we will cook up this year... Congrats to the other winners in all their categories! Great write ups too, well done by the authors of the cacowards! 0 Share this post Link to post
Fonze Posted December 10, 2016 Great write-ups from the team and congrats to all winners! Would also like to wish not only Doom a Happy Birthday, but a big Happy Birthday to doomwadstation.net]Doom Wad Station as well! 0 Share this post Link to post
DMPhobos Posted December 10, 2016 Congratulations to all the winners! Disregarding any other events, 2016 has been truly a great year for Doom. A new game, and a community that shows no signs of slowdown. Here's to 23 years of Doom :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Ronge Posted December 10, 2016 Yay, another year of great releases to place on my backlog. :-) I much approve of this year's picks for the Espi Award for Lifetime Achievement. Doug and Andy, you rule. Greetings to all doomers, young and old. Happy 23rd birthday, Doom! Time to step back into the shadows... 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted December 10, 2016 Now that it arrived: yes, I sent Romero a physical, "full-size" Cacoward. For anyone looking to make their own, I used http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ivup/, gold spraypaint, a trophy base I ordered online, and assorted pieces of hardware. 0 Share this post Link to post
durian Posted December 10, 2016 Congrats to the winners! And thanks to the team for putting out a great Cacowards. Happy Birthday DOOM! 0 Share this post Link to post
ant Posted December 10, 2016 I posted a happy birthday to DOOM in IRC, but this guy said "DOOM! is not a person, it's a game. It may have a 'birth' day, but it can't have a happy one, as it is not a sentient or semi-sentient being, or any sort of being, for that matter. This is really more of an anniversary of a launch date." What a jerk. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted December 10, 2016 right where it belongs Great picks this year, the mockaward was an upset but in a good way - nice to see picks we weren't all expecting. Happy birthday DOOM! 0 Share this post Link to post

OniriA Posted December 10, 2016 Indeed a great year for doom, and so many unique and creative things to play. Its been awhile since i rly played any single player and mostly spent time in online games with Zandronum for years. But now I actually feel like checking quite some wads out in sp too with more attention. Keep on making great wads marines! May there be many years of great and creative dooming pleasure to come. 0 Share this post Link to post
RottKing Posted December 10, 2016 A lot of quality WADs this year. Heretic may not be quite as amazing as Doom is, but it's cool to see it get a bit more attention nonetheless. Good stuff to all the winners & the entire community! That physical Cacoward looks sick. 0 Share this post Link to post
OniriA Posted December 10, 2016 Is that actually John Romero holding the Cacoward? Did Doomworld really made a physical Cacoward and sent it to Romero?! 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted December 10, 2016 Happy Birthday Doom! Congrats all winners, and all those who made awesome wads that didn't make an award but were still awesome in their own right :) Lets make 2017 even better! 0 Share this post Link to post

scwiba Posted December 11, 2016 Winning a Cacoward was not one of the things I expected to happen when I woke up this morning. I think I'm still in shock. Congrats to all the other creators who won, and those who didn't. I'm in damn good company. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted December 11, 2016 Yay, happy birthday to Doom and congrats to all the winners! Some really great WADs here... 0 Share this post Link to post
Not Jabba Posted December 11, 2016 Pretty damn pleased with my forecast. I mean, I'm a little sad I couldn't be *completely* right, mainly for Absolute Dishonor and No Sleep not getting awards. But I just want to thank you guys once again for all the hard work you put into this, and for giving us something to anticipate and argue about all year long. Fantastic job as always! 0 Share this post Link to post
Mechadon Posted December 11, 2016 Happy birthday Doom! And congrats to all of the winners! I'm happy to say that I've played quite a few of the winners this year, unlike the previous few years. Here's looking forward to another great year of Doom! 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted December 11, 2016 Ludicrum getting a Cacoward was a nice surprise. Antares deserves a big pat in the back for it :) 0 Share this post Link to post
