Good stuff, man!!! just letting you know... the rest of the 'J' section has quite a few crap ones coming up!!

I saw your comment on the last livestream. I'm really dreading the rest of the J maps now. Hopefully, we'll persevere.

Will be starting back on it as soon as I finish Blade of Agony.

No problem, it's just those 'JCM' wads that are nine maps each, once u get over that bump, the rest should be (relatively) smooth sailing 

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/The_Lost_Episodes_of_Doom

Yes, most of them actually.  Created by Christen Klie (who also did six of the Master Levels), there are various incarnations of maps in the lost levels (and don't ask me which ones, I couldn't be bothered checking every one out!!) that also appear in the various "chris" wads in the Doom 2 folder (CHRIS2, CHRIS2A, CHRISK12, CHRISK2, CHRISK22, CHRISPA2, CHRIS_E2) as well as possibly some more in the THUD! series, and of course more scattered randomly through various wadpacks and single-level wads.  I believe only Episode 3 of the Lost Episodes was created after Max Doom came out.  But don't quote me on that.  Actually, quote me on that, I don't care  

That ain't no quick question, man!

I try to block the crap ones out of my mind and remember the better ones, so I'll try to go off the top of my head.....

I won't count any remakes of IWAD levels, because you and I know that they are by far the worst offenders in Max Doom, and trying to pick the VERY worst one of those would be next to impossible.  And I won't count any DM-only maps because nah man.  Nah.

You've got those so-bad-it's-good levels, like DMDV2, NICK, SUBWAY11, MIC2, and one you just played on your last stream, HELLRAI2 (as terrible as it is, I must admit that this was the type of thing I wanted to encounter in Max Doom - yes, a level that starts you right in front of a cyberdemon.  YES.) 

And you got boring levels and broken levels which I hate, but the ones that stick out most to me are the maze maps, ones that just drop you into a ton of right-angled narrow corridors, the ones where you have to back up to the end to avoid every imp fireball; ones with little to no height variation or differences in lighting, NO landmarks of any kind, just right-left-right-left-right-left-right.  Hate them.  So ones like ZMAZE112 and LABYRIN2 are the worst of the worst for me.  And SORROW2.  Oh, and that bastard strobe-light maze part in THETEET2 where the whole ceiling comes down on you if you take a wrong turn.  

I think I'll stop here, because I'm getting PTSD flashbacks :-) (I'm kinda joking, but kinda not.)  Again I tried to push memories of the crap ones out of my mind. 

EDIT: You know what, that SEWERS.wad is one of the worst, simply because It's probably the most well known Max Doom map, as it was tacked onto the Xbox version of Doom and totally shouldn't have.  It was accessible from E1M1, dammit!

Have you checked out my Max Doom list?  I rant about quite a few crap wads I encountered throughout my experience, it's not ordered at all but maybe you'll find it good for a laugh - it's here

Have read it before, but I'll read it again!!

Delta-8 THC? A vape pen?  Please.  Get some REAL skunk, man!!  Roll a big bomber joint, smoke out the whole room  :-)

Just kidding.  You did have kinda droopy eyes by the end of it, and you seemed to be startled by specters more than normal.  

But yeah dude, plowed through all the E1M1 remakes in one go!! (or at least the ones NAMED E1M1, you'll be seeing a crapton more in the future.)

And you finally beheld the Glory that is..... YAK WORLD.

Holy hell, 67?!!?  I started watching that one, It's like five and a half hours man!! I wanna check your reaction to DTEPIS2 (or whatever it's called), I remember that one was hideous.  Hopefully I can catch the Dwango action - good luck!

Dtepis2 was.... not the worst thing I've ever played. xD

Ahhh great stuff man!!! No need to redo it, onward and upward!!!!

Except Map07. I'll still redo that one, since you pointed out how to do it properly.
