Tobe Hooper, best known for directing the legendary film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the granddaddy of slasher horror, origin of the almighty Leatherface, has died at the age of 74.

Rest in peace, Mr. Hooper.  You were the director of my all time favorite film, and the one that gave me my first gory nightmare.

Try curling your toes into fists and really ask yourself how much attention you want to draw to yourself.

This works.

So few people actually listen to the song and realize that whole thing refers to the fire at a Zappa gig. Great song!

Fucking flareguns, am I right?

Alright, dew.

Go watch your classics before discussing them.

I wasn't discussing Die Hard (that would be a silly thing for me to do since I have never seen it all the way through).  I was discussing the proposed FPS with wildweasel before you did what you usually do, which is interject in someone else's conversation with little more to offer except snide comments and rudeness.

To make fists with his toes. Jeez, you clueless millenials...

I hope his name is Bongo and that he wears a tuxedo.

I am confused as to why your guy would be shoeless in the restroom at the start.  It seems like that would be the last place one would not be wearing shoes.  But the rest sounds great.

That's fine, haha.  The whole point of this thread was just to see what other people would do.  If you want to be an altruistic nomad, then be the best damned altruistic nomad you can be.

Me telling people that have an important role in my clan is just my way of saying that they are valuable.

You would have an important role in my clan based on your listed skillsets.  Your altruism toward outsiders and forgiveness for people who deliberately screw up, however, would be seen as a weakness and would have to be put in check.  Children are the exception to the rule when it comes to bringing in new people, as they can be trained now and utilized later, making them a great asset.

Joshmon: Every clan needs a mechanically savvy member.  I'd take you in and offer my protection against larger framed individuals.

Czechmate: Probably not.  But someone who is computer savvy probably has other mental skillsets that could prove beneficial.  You know how computers think, which means you know how to separate emotions from decisions.  That is an invaluable asset in survival situations.

If it was only myself, I'd be well suited for a wandering lifestyle, but I have a family, so I'd have to settle in somewhere to take care of them.

 

To that end, I know how to repair and build a wide variety of things, I'm a decent gardener and hunter, I know how to care for livestock (including butchering animals for meat), etc. 

You can join my team as a food provider.  I'll make sure you aren't killed by nomads or other clans.

Even advanced Doom ports, while not bad at all, keep many of the original engine's quirks that I'd prefer to work differently in principle.

Like what?

Put DOOM 2016's gunplay into Mirror's Edge; or at least something with that level of character dexterity. Except make it look like a synthwave YouTube video, and have it sound like an illegal warehouse rave in early '90s UK. Boom, done.

Mirrors Edge.  Fuck yeah.

In the event of a socioeconomic ending on a global scale, what would you consider to be your strengths and weaknesses?  Would you be a static establishment kind of person, or a mobile survivalist type?

I would try to build an encampment near a water source and fertile land.

My Strengths: I am knowledgeable in first aid, observant, strict, and strategic.  I would be best suited as some kind of defense coordinator or some security head for whatever group of people I was with.  I would (ideally) ensure that we had well trained and well armed patrols around the clock on our perimeter and a team to go out with our scavengers (these people would have strengths in hunting, trapping, or materials salvaging).  I would also look for holes in  our security measures to ensure the safety of our inhabitants.  We would do head checks in the morning and at night.  Newcomers would be welcomed if they had a skillset to offer, but closely observed for some time before they were trusted.  People with nothing to offer that is needed would be be allowed to bunk with us in exchange for resources.  If they had no resources to offer, they would be told to keep moving.  Children are an exception to this rule and would be allowed to join us as long as they were able to be taught a skill that is needed.

My weaknesses: I would not be good for farming or food gathering.  I have the opposite of a green thumb and have very little knowledge of plant identification when it comes to what is safe or poisonous.  I also would not be well suited for building structures.

I am going to take this one seriously instead of just going: "Its Doom" just to look like I don't give a fuck and to appear cool for it.

I wish I could be this cool!

And then, add on another episode that is really fucking awesome, but makes no sense, and quotes the bible.

I always thought it was cool how The Flesh Consumed took Bible verses for the map titles.  

A hyper intelligent spider...maybe a cybernetic quasi-arachnid with metallic legs and a big gun...a Mastermind behind the invasion, if you will.  Then he sees you and is all, "Bitch, you can't handle Dis."

But then you do handle dat.

Almost as if it were Hell...but on Earth.

Apparently 93% occlusion ain't shit, 'cuz it just looked like 7pm at 2:30. Big whoop.

Yeah, we only had 88% where I was at.  This was my first solar eclipse that I was able to experience.  I thought it would get significantly darker because in my mind, I was thinking, "Oh cool, only 12% of the light we would normal get with be present.  Cool."

Nope.  If I hadn't known prior to the time of the eclipse that there was an eclipse going on, I would have just assumed there was extensive cloud cover.

Rhymes with boom.

Did some things that I am not proud of.

It was called Welcome To Hell.  I tried to make it look more epic than it was (not).  It starts off, long bridge over lava pools, teleport trap into a horse of Spectres in a dark wooded area maze of trees that you need to find the exit to, get teleported to the end of the broken bridge upon exit, marble ruins with a couple of hell knights.  The map was reliant on brutal doom features like jumping, the design of the trees, and the design of the Spectre.  So yeah...regrettable to say the least.

I am very entertained by this.  Thank you!

The classic Doomguy skin is how Doomguy2016 should have looked anyway.
