FinalHours

Started my version 1.1 playthrough on UV as opposed to HMP, which I used for my first time through. I'm loving the additional challenge! There have been quite a few times so far where I've been starved of ammo and health, which certainly isn't a bad thing if done right. Sigil, in my opinion, does this well. Being forced to play carefully and planning out my actions ahead of time is an enjoyable experience. I've also been using the MIDI soundtrack this time, which I'm very fond of. Buckethead's music is great, don't get me wrong, but the MIDIs definitely feel more "Doom" to me.

Got my big box today! Super impressed with everything, the packaging and presentation is great. The soundtrack and the bonus stuff on the floppy disk USB drive is also very cool! Buckethead's soundtrack is incredible, unsurprisingly. During my next playthrough I'm going to give the game a go with the MIDI soundtrack. As far as my thoughts on the WAD itself, I'm really happy with it! It does feel like a natural extension to The Ultimate Doom. Pretty challenging stuff, with some creative secrets. I did find some areas a little frustrating (the crusher maze in particular gave my friend and I some issues while we were playing some co-op). Besides this and a glitch or two that I came across, I'm more than pleased with it!

I received an email as well! I ordered the standard edition, not sure if folks who've ordered the Beast Box have received one. According to the tracking number I received it's coming through UPS and the shipment info has been sent, but it hasn't actually been shipped quite yet.

There is! There is a switch hidden behind a small removable panel on the back of the turbine.

I received my Collector's Edition on release day, and I'm very impressed by it overall. The Revenant statue is very detailed and the light and turbine effect is a nice touch. Mine did have the paint smell when first opened, but it wasn't overwhelming.
