i hardly listen to metal these days but of the bands i really like they have to be Unearthly Trance Melvins Sigh Neurosis Harvey Milk Portal not sure if i would count Oxbow as a metal band but their brilliant either way Entombed Dismember Rigor Mortis Dark Angel Mayhem(i prefer their later albums Ordo ad Chao is my fav) Ulver(similair to Mayhem) Yob Sunn O))))/Burning Witch i used to be REALLY into death metal at a certain stage in life but now i lean towards doom metal

id happily give this ago, looks great

RIP Combat Jack & Kate Fox

hi im up for taking part in the 2v2 thing so if anybody needs a partner im here(also currently looking) whats the tournament rank for Beginners? cause id like to be in that please i should be avaliable but i do worry that one or two things might come up along the way

The Dirty Dozen Cross of Iron The Big Red One The Longest Day All Quiet on the Western Front I feel that Triumph of the Will has to be mentioned in here even though Leni Reifensthal was a disgusting person her influence on the perception of the Nazis and her use of propaganda is undeniable Doom usually gets brought up as being a hodge podge of difference influences and hobbies the team had while making the game but i think, the same approach could be made with the Wolfenstein games but the well of what they took influences from is smaller and less cross refferential. Private Ryan and Inglorious Bastards are good touch points when talking about the last 2 games. But i feel more so from 3D up to about RTCW as much as they played fast and loose with what the SS Paranomal devision really looked into with films they were specifically working from that same kind of space as stuff from the (40s-70s) ,good tough all american men going out their to protect freedoms etc(even if the US"s place in that story is slightly more dubious than what fiction will tell you) shoot outs in tight corridors,tense pacing and the like. (pardon me for getting rambly, it happens from time to time)

one of my cousins was a backup dancer for hear a few years ago

The man the myth the legend that is Trick Daddy Dollars

I've been playing through RTCW lately, never got the chance to play it at the time outside of a demo of the PS2 version gotta say even with its flaws (enemies when shot aren't as responsive as i like/bullet spongey,kinda forgettable score,kinda heavy on the instant death) at its core it really is a solid little shooter from the early 2000s what about you lot where do you rank it in the series? do you have issues with it? how many times did you mash quick save/quick load? that one terrible stealth level YOU KNOW THE ONE!

a couple years back in the space of 2 weeks i met and got to hug Neil Gaiman when he passed by a comic shop, I got to see Dead Can Dance as a birthday present from a friend AND i got to see Final Fantasy:Distant Worlds when it was FF"s 20th anniversary both at the Royal Albert Hall

whats the name of the forum? a weather forum sounds up my street

Coffee break was the first WAD that sprang to mind

this is from a website that i like to visit this guys doodles are my fav part of his site: http://gaminghell.co.uk/ArtDump.html

ive really gotten into playing Quake 1 lately because ive never played it before until now but i gotta say i think the game is fantastic, it controls smoothly,the OST is made up of all the similar kind of dark ambient music that i loved in Doom 64 weapons sound nice i love it its such a odd grimey looking game sucks i never to to play it earlier i really wanna try out some of the mods

ive got a few ideas hmmm i think a WAD where all the aesthetics are inspired by like West African art and colour designs would be interesting (im half-Ghanaian on my dads side) ive seen people go medieval or Egyptian so why not that,theres a whole bunch of tribes like Yoruba,Gha,Ashanti who have their own designs and aesthetics to take influence from also and this is weirdly inspired by Euro Truck Simulator 2 of all things a WAD where you can pick and choose what kind of missions you want to take (ive seen people talk about wanting non linear levels a WAD as like a real headfuck audio visual kinda thing (inspired by like ASMR,lucid dreams Llamasoft games especially Polybius and Space Giraffe) and just to please the dork in me a WAD with a heavy regional rap or grime soundtrack seriously theres old instrumentals from people like Waifa(Slew Dem), DJ Marsta, Maniac hell even some of those old Devil mix dubs that Wiley made that i think would sound really cool in a wad a single map thats basically a siege level where enemies are hoaring in on one space and you have to fend yourself off from them for as long as possible until you reach an exit down below and last one a WAD as influenced by like i dunno Isaac Babels Red Cavelry which is a collection of short stories or like Frantz Fanon/Battle of Algiers/Spook by the door guriella military kinda thing Nine Inches idea of adding a scoring system is always good, was replaying Ketsui and i like how that game prods you to get up close with bosses/enemies

from England, North London and fucking detesting it

I made my first map ever and i actually feel kinda proud to be a part of a big project like this (even though i think my map pales in comparisons to others) thank you to Jimmy, Pinchy,Rott and everybody else involved in this, great turn out we all did our best

the music in this rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYGO1_kXgPU

i was thinking about this, didnt Hexan incorporate basically incorporate alot of the ideas Hall originally had for Doom anyway? i do agree with Zulk in that from what i have seen the community has taken Doom in to far more ambitious places than he originally imagined

I tend to play carefully but when i need to i can get really agressive I know many of the WADs reccomend that you play on UV but considering how good i am at Doom i tend to stick at Hurt Me Plenty,i dont think im quite ready for UV yet

Anytime a new episode is up i'm happy, a bit miffed that i missed the stream tho

Hm this looks really interesting The Mcdonlads nearby where i live has dusty road youts who stink of weed standing outside with they're BMXs
