The promised slaughter is about to get more intense in the second half of the wad. There will be no revenants or archviles, let's see if the Doom slaughter feels the same without them!

It's been a while since we've had some true slaughter on TNS. This time it's going to be quite non-traditional because not only is Cleanout a Doom 1 PWAD but it unusually still uses Boom actions and OTEX textures. The monster counts are relatively light until the middle of episode 2 so let's use this session as a warm-up for the next week!

If you're ichin' for more laidback Doom action, we have 15 more maps to go through in this megawad of 24-hour maps. The difficulty ramps up a bit in the second half of the maps but otherwise this is about as easy-going as it gets for a wad you'll see on TNS which also opens up the possibility of trying out many different rotas so there's a lot of late-night TNS craziness to watch out for!

ichinichi is a megawad of maps with varying themes each made within 24 hours and appropriately named after the Japanese term meaning "one day". The word can also be translated as "the first day of the month", "daytime", "a short period of time" or "an unspecified day", which in a typical TNS fashion we're going to honor by splitting the wad into 2 days (a week apart) and play the first half on the last day of the month during the whole night of a quite specific day - today!

The second smorgasbord at the Limit Buffet brings a few maps with higher monster counts but the order of the mostly short to medium-length maps adhering to wacky limits is not disturbed. The table is ready, come serve yourself!

Limit Buffet offers a collection of tasty maps where not only the maps themselves but also all the music tracks follow very specific limits. Ranging from well known to completely novel and insane, the full list of the limits is way too long to include here but I highly recommended checking it out in the Doomworld thread. Not only will you know what you're getting into, it provides quite an entertainment value on its own!

Embarking on an eldritch voyage to go through maps mostly featuring abandoned buildings in the middle of a jungle and as the title suggests, some Lovecraftian ambiance. And while the surroundings may look mysterious, the demonic inhabitants don't exploit this to go into hiding and you can look forward to some action-packed gameplay!

Only episode 4 left to go. In many ways similar to the previous episode, it provides a fitting end to this ambitious community project that took full 9 years to complete. It's been quite an adventurous journey through these maps, hope to see you there as we finish it today!

The latter part of UDINO continues with the relatively large and open maps following the themes of the original episodes. There's one thing that definitely changes, though - if you were let down by the lack of cyberdemons in the first 2 episodes, well, let's just say you won't feel that way tonight!

UDINO has been in development since 2014 and just recently it got its first release candidate. That's a really long time for a community project to live so let's join in and see this wad off to its final resting place on idgames!

Let's jump to the second half of the reverse 69 challenge featuring... more Doom maps within the limit of max 96 kilobytes, of course. The size restriction seems to have prevented any large monster crowds but that doesn't mean there's a complete lack of challenge in the later maps!

The goal is in the name - mappers for this project had to make a map within the limit of 96 kilobytes. That's quite generous compared to its 64 kb predecessors we've already played but you can still look forward to fairly short maps that should work well no matter which rota we throw at them!

After a month-long interlude we're back to Oripathy. There are fewer short maps in the second half of the wad but otherwise it's more of the same - maps with a clean design, approachable difficulty and importantly, plenty of low-tier monsters to shoot through!

Better watch your cholesterol because there's more cheese on the menu tonight. As you might have noticed last week, Lunacy is inspired by skillsaw's Lunatic.wad and adds a cheese theme on top because... the Moon is made of cheese, of course. The dress code for the dinner party includes wearing a radsuit so don't forget to grab one when stepping outside and come enjoy all this cheesy goodness!

Not long ago we warped through PUSS IX which saw its final release only recently but was started full 2 years ago. This wad is its, umm... cheesy sequel this time allowing only 3 instead of 10 hours per map. The monster counts are relatively low, however, there's one thing you'll need to do if you want to survive these maps - manage your radsuit usage!
