I guess it depends. I don't expect him to be a raging meathead like in the "Inside Doomguy's Mind" video on YouTube, but I don't think we need melodramatic, somber-voiced cutscene reflections about how his daddy beat him and he's tired of fighting and doesn't know what keeps him breathing and yet has to keep moving because with every shot fired you get closer to The Truth or some canned shite like that.

I've hardly ever watched South Park, but when I did early last year because a friend had it on, I was treated to a new episode about farts and qweefs. I would say that if the show hadn't already sucked, it sure did at that point.

Reminds me of that one infamous internet cartoon where two characters were whispering, "Plus, I'm hungry for shit," and licking their chops.

When I was a miserable 13 year old, it was that, "Fade to Black", and "The Unnamed Feeling". Oh, the angst-AUGH!

I'm such a Doom fan that I've wanted to at least check the movie out even if it is bad, but I never got around to it, in part because I was never fond of The Rock.

^Which one? :3 I just like how half of Houkago Tea Time got banned. :3

Ah, good! I really hope that comes to fruition. I remember so many great custom map-packs for the Mac version, and I'd hate to not be able to play them again.

Don't forget posturing over a prominent social issue without ever actually doing anything (because apparently hashtagging about it is sufficient now).

The Mac version of Wolfenstein 3D, which was never ported to Mac OS X (presumably the Fruitz of Dojo guy tried to do it but couldn't). I always loved that game and found it to be superior to the PC version (more weapons and enemies, better graphics and music, more challenging gameplay). I recently got SheepShaver for my Mac and tried to run the game on it, but it freezes and crashes too often. Worse still, there was actually a pretty solid community for the Mac version until around 2004, when non-Intel Macs and Classic mode got phased out (or maybe it was all just coincidence). I loved using Mac Wolf3D's editor as a kid. It is, to date, the only FPS level maker/editor that I ever got around to really using (though that will change soon), because the game's simple nature made it easy to make levels for -- just paint in the grids. You could get really creative and resourceful within those limited boundaries.

In all seriousness this time.

I use TuxGuitar. It's a guitar tablature application that already has that old SC-55 soundcard, and it has all the instruments. It also allows you to see all musical scales on both guitar and piano. It's great.

"To Boddah Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand. All the warnings from the Doom WAD-Making 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of playing as well as creating WADs along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things. For example when I'm online and the threads go up and the manic praise from the crowd begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Paul Corfiatis, who seem to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd, which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I fire up Doombuilder. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do, God believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. I must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasm I once had as a child. On my last 3 forum visits, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally and as fans of my WADs, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little sensitive, unappreciative, Virgo, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know! I have a goddess of a custom-made monster who sweats ambition and empathy and a custom-made character who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, killing every demon she meets because every demon is shit and will do her great harm. And that terrifies me to the point where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Lynne Taggart becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death mapper that I've become. I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all posters in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along and have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess. Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your e-mails and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody, baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out then to fade away. Peace, love, empathy -Wove N-Loaf" Heh, just kidding.

I know, I know. I shouldn't have neglected to mention Ultimate Doom, Doom95, Final Doom: Evilution, Final Doom: Plutonia, DoomWars, and Doom RPG.

:3

Other than Doom, I've been playing Doom II. :3

Ha! When I saw the thread title, that weird "Spiderman Finger Family" thing was the first thing that came to mind! Quite strange and creepy, indeed. I think they did something similar for toasters and other seemingly random things. The music doesn't go together either. Another surreal example of cheap money-making schemes meeting lazy disorganization and unawareness.

Here's another one: When someone threatens me over something that I haven't even given any indication I'll do. Doesn't happen often, but when it does I get a little livid. I tend to respond to threats worse than most people -- something about them gets under my skin -- but that shit is the worst. It actually reminds me of one time when I was 12 and I told my mom that I like whipped cream enough to eat it by itself, and she threatened out of nowhere to kick my ass if I ever inhaled a whipped cream can (?!?!).

Post one or more of your pet peeves. Can be anything from traffic problems to world problems. I'll start...I hate when I regularly browse someone's blog (or other public social media page) and they suddenly freak out and think that I'm a "stalker" because they can see viewership stats. That happened to me recently.

Bleh. I was just wondering if some frigger was going to post a Harris/Klebold photo, and then lo and behold, there it was.

I remember thinking Sucker Punch was cool, and for conceptual reasons too, not just because it had attractive women kicking ass. Unfortunately, many people of varying persuasions seemed put off by the latter aspect and accused Zack Snyder of misogyny and/or of using every other aspect of the movie as mere dressing for sexy eye candy, and I think that's a real shame. My understanding, both from seeing the movie and reading a bit about it, is that the movie's depiction of the womens' treatment was meant to expose a troubling social reality, not to reinforce it. Apparently that backfired. That was in early 2011, too. I wonder how that movie would've been received if it were released today.

Heh, not my preferred word either. Whenever I hear/read "fandom" I think of the dreaded "furry fandom". Yuck. :3

Fascinating. Well, Mozart couldn't dress himself, so you're in good company, high-minder! :3 Anyway, another Doom confession: I like all the levels. Some more than others, yes, and I'll agree that there are custom WADs out there that have surpassed the originals. But I don't really have a problem with any of the levels in Doom, Doom II, or Final Doom, and I've gotten the suspicion that that's sort of a minority viewpoint.

But what about, say, Prisoner 849 from Unreal? How the hell does he/she carry around a dispersion pistol, automag, stinger, ASMD, eightball gun, flak cannon, razorjack, GES bio rifle, sniper rifle, and minigun, and at no cost to speed or stamina? Just a lot of straps? That's just too crazy. And I imagine that the straps would get tangled and stuck a lot, and maybe even come off together when you're trying to get a weapon while some pissed off Skaarj is charging you. Not that any of it matters. :3
