That's a beautiful song. One of my favorite QR tracks.

I'll post some Queensryche songs and albums. I love this band so much. THIS is the Queensryche album that separated the wheat from the chaff. They decided after their seminal album Empire to create their most avant-garde and weird album yet. Of course they were Pink Floyd fans and loved that sort of sonic experimentation Floyd had going on and that manifests in their album. Sitars, cellos, saxophones, weird audio effects, incidental sound effects, it's got it all. This is just the title track but I highly recommend you listen to the whole album... sadly since they were from Seattle, they were infected with the Seattle-borne disease known as alt-rock/grunge, which manifested in their 1997 work "Hear in the Now Frontier" and haven't made anything good since then. But what a way to go... creating their most progressive and experimental album yet. Then, let's talk about the album before it... that being Empire. This album was to Queensryche what Moving Pictures and Signals was to Rush; an accessible, catchy rock record with a prog tinge. It isn't bad at all though... And then, the album that put them on the map: Operation Mindcrime. I'd consider this proto-symphonic metal alongside it being a progressive metal record. It's a concept album which deals with an underground organization dedicated to overthrowing the United States, seen through the eyes of the drug addicted protagonist Nikki. On the first half, it isn't revolutionary (heh, get it?) but it's some REALLY good classic heavy metal. On the second half however, the songs are longer, more progressive, and more dynamic. Atmospheric clean guitars lead to distorted, operatic crescendos, and the album culminates in its centerpiece: Suite Sister Mary, a 10 minute long operatic metal duet. It truly feels like Pink Floyd meets Iron Maiden; I think Floyd was a band the guys in this band really did love. Floyd-style symphonic rock meets melodic Iron Maiden type metal, thus creating one of the most intelligently written, compelling, and artistic albums of the 1980s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLi46MAgxqc

Love my man Arino. As for me however I'm watching Space Battleship Yamato as of late. Leiji Matsumoto recently passed and I loved Galaxy Express 999.

Huh, really??? I love orange Tang! I should give it a try when the weekends roll around (I don't drink caffeine on weekdays at all). By the way, do you guys still have Tang in America? It's a mainstay where I'm from especially around the month of fasting we have to do (Ramadan).

I respect any man with a trilby.

I play DOOM keyboard only with autoaim (the way I've always played it since I first did in 2012), and if I'm playing a vanilla compatible WAD or vanilla campaign I use Chocolate Doom... otherwise I use GZDoom. I don't have jumping or mouse enabled unless I'm playing a WAD which absolutely requires it (usually TCs like the Castlevania one or Ashes 2063). So I think of myself as a moderate purist but not a complete purist.

I've never given DOOM 3 an honest try, mainly because I feel I may dislike it just as I disliked DOOM 2016 (perhaps this is blasphemy here). DOOM to me has always been a mix between atmosphere and action. The atmosphere of exploring the abandoned bases and Hell, the fear of monsters coming out and taking you down out of nowhere... the darkness. I think most DOOM fanatics know it was inspired by the Alien franchise, in fact it was originally supposed to be an Alien tie in, a series of films evidently "atmospheric". On the other hand, DOOM is action packed and fun. Shooting down monster after monster, raping the Cyberdemon with rockets and massacring all in your path with your arsenal of weapons. That was what made DOOM, DOOM, at least to me. DOOM 3 and DOOM 2016 both teetered on one side of it. DOOM 3 on the atmospheric side and DOOM 2016 on the action side. I will definitely give it a try though.

I'm a religious person myself... and I don't really mean to be extremely preachy, just trying to answer the question with my honest opinion. The reason we all exist is to pay tribute to God. Yes, He created this entire universe simply for us to wonder at it, and wonder at His power. We are here to build a relationship with Him. Worship God, have fun, and consistently better yourself as a person. Very simple I know... and there's a whole lot more to say on this, but that's my point of view.

Nice avatar, Euronymous. I liked the part in Mario 3 where Lemmy decides to stab Toad 23 times in self defense.

Hey there, I just wanted to ask if people here play other retro games than DOOM. I'm personally quite fond of anything made between 1977-1997. To me, it was always the sweet spot for retro. I'm a fan of Konami's classics personally (Castlevania, Contra, Parodius, Gradius, Salamander), and other DOS games I like include Quake (of course), the Commander Keen series, Wolfenstein 3D, Prince of Persia, among many others. I'm a fan of the Atari 2600, MSX, C64, and Turbografx-16. So, how about you?

So, I tried this: Firstly, I made map01 and saved it as a .wad file. Then, I opened the .wad file in SLADE, and then created a new map as map02. However, when I opened map02, it wasn't a part of the .wad I first created, and just said "UNSAVED" instead of the .wad name. So, I decided to save map changes, but all that did was just replace map01 with map02. Nevermind, I just figured it out. I should've gone to Archive > Map Editor first.

Hello Doomworld, I'd like some help with a problem I've been having in SLADE. I want to add more than one map (MAP01, then MAP02, etc) but I have no idea how. I've tried creating a map, then saving it as a .WAD, then creating another map, and saving that as a .WAD, and then moving the other map to the first .WAD, but it didn't work. How do I go about doing it? Thank you.

Looks familiar, I don't know where from.
