Mr. Kong

This week's winner was WAD.WAD for the original DOOM (slotted in E1M1), which won by a landslide. Get it here: WAD.WAD.7z. We now have until Saturday to play through it and leave our comments, demos and videos of it here on the thread. Additionally, we're having our second Deathmatch session of a random DM only WAD from this same CD. This time it'll be HEADACHE.WAD, which you can get here: HEADACHE.WAD.7z. This small event will start this Thursday at 18:00 GMT, and it'll be hosted on Euroboros (so we'll be using Zandronum 3.1 as a source port, obviously). The server's name will be "Shovelware Society Deathmatch #2 - HEADACHE.WAD" (without the quotes). Hope to see you all there.

It is pretty hilarious. I guess it's title is it's ace in the hole. Agreed. It might be one of those edgy, typically nineties, horde combat maps.

This week's winner was WAD.WAD, with seven votes. Never has a WAD on this thread gotten so much hype, so let's hope it delivers (on a shovelware kind of way, that is)!

I've been so invested in starting these DM sessions with the Society, that I almost neglected these. Anyway, here's my demo of The Hellsley Suites, by Chris Somers: The Hellsley Suites.7z Played on Chocolate Doom 3.0.0, on UV. Got 92% kills, and a measly 16% secrets. With my review below: And my demo of FRED2.WAD: FRED2.7z Played on Choco 3.0.0, on UV. Got 103% kills, and 83% secrets. With the review, once again, on the spoiler: As to FREAK.WAD, by Terry Welsh, dated October 5 1995, I'm glad to say that it was a success, so I'll throw a DM only map from this shovelware CD each time we decide our regular, SP, WADs. Sadly, I didn't get a demo, nor screenshots to share this time, but I'll make sure to do so next week. Maybe @Gibbon has some to share. That's all, and tune in for this Sunday, our voting day. On an unrelated note, made this icon if anyone uses shortcuts or bat files, like myself, to play through our shovelware trove: d!zone_gold_cd_icon.7z

Maybe I'll suggest four CDs to vote on when the time comes, as we've been doing with the WADs themselves.

That's a very specific request, but it sounds good. I was just planning for us to do Maximum Doom on our third trip to Hell, or on some kind of special date or something.

This pack just keeps getting better and better! It'll outgrow Dw, one day.

Next time, lokk. If it all goes well, it'll be the first of many.

@Helm, @Thelokk and @Gibbon, I see you had an early start this week. I'll try and play the WADs first, and then I'll peruse through your reviews, demos and videos guys. I'd just like to add that our DM server will be live at 21:00 GMT tonight. It'll be hosted on Zandro 3.1 and it's title will be Shovelware Society Deathmatch #1 - FREAK.WAD. Hope to see you there, folks.

Thanks a lot Domains. It's all good now.

We'll play both HELLSLEY.WAD, for the original DOOM (slotted in E1M2), as well as FRED2.WAD, for DOOM II (slotted in the usual MAP01). You can get them here: FRED2.7z, The Hellsley Suites.7z. We now hav until Saturday to play through them and leave our rants, demos and videos of them here on the thread. And that's all. Happy hunting. Also, and for the first time, we'll try out a DM only map, or in this case a small mapset, from D!Zone Gold, in Zandronum 3.1. The WAD is FREAK.WAD, and you can get it here: FREAK.7z. We're using Zandro 3.1, as already mentioned, and the server's name is "Shovelware Society Deathmatch #1 - FREAK.WAD" (without the quotes, obviously). Feel free to join us there. Just bear in mind that this won't be a competitive thing or anything, just casual gibbing and fragging with the Society, and the chance to get to know some of the shovelware DM maps we'd normally discard. It's scheduled to start tomorrow at 10:00 am GMT.

I seem to be having a similar problem @AF-Domains.net, even though I created my account through Doom Explorer. It exists nowm but I can't login to the ZDaemon Forums. Would you mind helping me out? My username's "fleabag".

It's the long awaited sequel to this blockbuster.

"...RIP AND TEAR YOUR NUTS! YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE NUTS!"

We had another tie this week, Doomheads. Both HELLSLEY.WAD, for the original DOOM, as well as FRED2.WAD, for DOOM II, got three votes each, so we'll play them both, as per usual.
