How much do aesthetics matter to you in Doom? [Poll]
crusty_charlie replied to Kwisior's topic in Doom General
I think they matter in the sense that visual cues and memorable details can go a long way toward helping you know where you're going in a level. That being said, I don't exactly demand that the average WAD I play looks like primo luxury. -
As a kid I called him the Doom Marine

That sounds like fun ngl

Definitely a lot of worthwhile projects up there but don't force yourself into playing something you straight up don't enjoy just because they got a Cacoward. Think of them like a "greatest hits" of that particular year of Doom mods.

What are the most strangely titled pieces of media you can think of?
crusty_charlie replied to DogsRNice's topic in Everything Else
My ISP probably thinks I'm a porn addict because I keep searching "Violent Pornography". Look bro all I wanna do is just listen to my favorite SOAD song lmao. -
- Bauhaus (4 levels with a high art-esque feel and atmosphere to them) - Chainworm Kommando (10 thematically varied maps with a good sense of continuity and loads of doomcute if that's your jam) - Grime (5 bite sized urban themed maps. Also try Urbanside, as it has a similar spirit but with more recognizably realistic locations) - Doom II - Dark World (Beefier, hell-themed reimaginings of Doom II's first 11 maps) - Violence (4 punchy levels with a purple wasteland theme and synthwave ost) - @TheMagicMushroomMan mentioned Void, which is a map I absolutely love. Probably the best execution of the concept of a "psychedelic Doom map" I can think of. - RAMP series (Several maps made by contributors with varying levels of experience, all connected by a hub system. The teleporters to the maps have little displays next to them that let you know what level difficulty and length the map will be. 1 is shortest/easiest, 5 is longest/hardest. Also try DUMP, the spiritual predecessor to this concept) I think for what you're looking for, these examples should be a good start. Don't let the short length of a lot of these projects fool you, from my experience the maps themselves are a good challenge that doesn't rely on absurd crowds to kill you. I completely get where you're coming from about wanting WADs that feel challenging and interesting without just being straight up "hold a strafe key + mouse 1" level annoyance, hope ya like these.

That's the one! Thanks, man. -
Any suggestions for a good urban-themed mappack?
crusty_charlie replied to HQDefault's topic in WAD Discussion
Grime and Urban Side are pretty good, bitesized urban themed WADs, maybe you might like those? Grime (https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/g-i/grime) Urban Side (https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/s-u/urbanside) -

I remember this one WAD that was styled after PSX Doom visuals-wise, and it had the Doom logo from the 2005 film as its M_DOOM graphic. Unfortunately that's all I remember. -

Pieces Of Media You Can't Believe Were Made By The Same Person?
crusty_charlie replied to DSC's topic in Everything Else
Both of these were directed by Peter Jackson but neither of them feel even REMOTELY like they were directed by the same person. -

6 years old. Dad showed me the first 2 classic games and Doom 3. They scared the absolute hell out of me but with fear comes intrigue, and that intrigue turned into obsession when I rediscovered the series at age 14. I'm 20 years old now and Doom has more or less become my "comfort food" game.
