I'd like to see a dlc or something that gives enemies doom 1/2 style sprites

You should put this on Archive.org, always nice to see people archiving this stuff

I remember one time me and my friends were talking about doom (This being around 2009, so I was in highschool), The teachers heard us and sent us all into detention for talking about "That horrid game"

Amusingly, the official DOOM twitter congratulated him:

This is why I have faith in the new DOOM, the devs know that people playing doom
A. Are either just going to spend time making some bloody demon killing carnage
B. Going to Edit the game so much that it becomes something completely different

Dog's Life on the PS2. How many games out there let you throw dog shit at people?

I remember thinking that that was the greatest game idea ever
10 year old me was easily impressed

Something thats wierd is there is a port of Doom and Quake on my calculator, but not wolf3d

The compression allowed images to be downloaded in a jiffy is the reasoning.

I forgot there was a time when GIFs were nice and small images, now they're mostly 10mb+ animated videos that take a minute to load

Obsidian said:

I hear stories about how the guy who invented them pronounced them "jif", but all that does is make me think of a particular brand of bathroom cleaner.

I googled it, apparently the Oxford Dictionary accpets both

fraggle said:

They're pronounced the opposite to how "GIF" is pronounced.

Is there any reason why "GIF" if pronounced "JIF", what was the reasoning behind that

LOL this whole topic is fantastic. <(^______^)>

I think doomworld should make a religion 😂

I know that it was a big deal and changed the political aspects of most major websites about discussion, but I have no idea what this is all about and all the websites I can find contradict eachother

Halfblind said:

Hey, shouldn't this thread be posted under Doom General. Just wondering...

... Anyways with all the Doom mods, maps and more that are constantly being uploaded, updated and upgraded it is great that there is still a place where we can discuss anything Doom related today.

It's a mazing a game can be disscussed and modded for so long. Even the modding giants Hl1+2 have dead modding communitys, with gmod being the only thing keeping it relevant

I'm pretty sure that this site was made with 4:3 screens in mind (think back to the 90s), so it would look more like

I like how human enemies have small and giant versions, just like robots. :)

I thought they explained that the "humans" were just robots that look like humans.
Thats why they didn't care how many they lost

And that's a good thing. Creativity shouldn't be hindered by the tools used.

Never said it wasn't, just saying the programs now do a lot of the tedious little things that you'd otherwise have to do by hand

1366 x 768 on zdoom

Why do so many laptops have this weird resolution

Captain Ventris said:

Oooooh, it's an FPS, okay. See, from what they show in the ads I had suspected it was mainly a really ornate screensaver of pretty sci-fi ladies.

So basically halo

I wish they would at least release the third Halo game on PC so I can finish the damn series already.

Halo 2 on pc was pretty bad. Halo 1 was pretty good though. Doesn't Xbox one have a function on it that lets you play games on your pc with it, you could cheat and do that with the master chief collection

Over the last 3 years, you've spent 0 hours playing this selection, which includes 1 items, is valued at $19.99, and requires 11 GB

Ask me about my GOG library.

is there even a way to measure GOG libraries?

To be fair Doom modding tools theses days now do 90% of it for you, and work more like unreal or hammer than anything else

Looked him up, hes so important to doom that he even has a page on the wiki. Saw that he posted only just the other day, it's wierd to see accounts from the 90s still active on forums

I play doom at 1440*900
I only started playing recently but I think it looks kinda cool supersmooth at high resolution. Might be getting a 5k monitor soon and will try it at that resolution, want to see how freaky it looks.

This site is nearly 20 years old, but at the time of me posting it has about ~300 users onlines. It's old school and weeks of early internet, but still kinda cool
