Veinen

I'll take part if I have the time.

Great album.

I have a collection of something like 400-500 CDs and a few vinyls and cassettes, although it's been years since I've bought any new ones. Sacramentum's Far Away From the Sun original press is likely the rarest thing in the collection, then I guess this Unleashed limited box set is kind of a rarity as well (pretty cool wooden box at least!). A bunch of other limited edition releases as well but can't really recall any specific examples and none of them cost more than the standard rate at the time of purchase (which would be like 8-13 years ago or so for most items in the collection).

A bit late to the party, but I decided to check out beta 5 just this past week and I am absolutely blown away by this mapset. Best thing I've played in years and a really fresh experience while still staying true to the dynamics of the classic game in a sense, at least in my opinion. The new weapons and monsters combined with your mapping style (great layouts! and some of those "fast starts" are really Resurgence-esque) provide exactly the kind of fast-paced action that hits the sweet spot for me. I have to say I am especially in love with the assault rifle, my favorite go-to weapon in all even remotely dangerous-looking situations. A package of FDAs for all available maps in beta 5 is in the attachment. Some maps have multiple demos, v1 means a failed attempt and since the maps were pretty long I usually had a small break before the next attempt v2. There are a few maps which I don't finish but instead die with one or two monsters left, at least map32 (killed by decorations...), map19 (no ammo left to kill the final boss?) and map21 (died at the exit, ammo a bit too tight for my liking). Didn't really give map25 a fair shake yet, seems like a rather demanding map and didn't really have the time to tackle such a behemoth. tldr; I am enjoying the hell out of this and can't wait to see what's in store for the last handful of maps! Should be a slam dunk cacoward winner whenever it finishes. Struggle_FDAs_Veinen.zip

Insanely fun new album by Spite (NYC black metal): https://spitedesecration.bandcamp.com/

It would seem so yes, which is a bit surprising since it's not like I've made a conscious decision to avoid all UD wads. I guess I just really like the SSG.

Sick debut demo by these Portuguese fellows. Positively filthy!

Inspired by the RC posts... I think this EP was one of last year's absolute gems. Pure old school Hellenic BM worship done right.

How can I believe
