Boo, no Doomguy secret head on the star! It still kicks majorly though.

Eh just walk inside and make the cash register unlock the pump; even works on those pay at pump ones, why you think they say pay inside after 10 PM?

Well I could ramble on about the Rapture and being left behind and all that, but I'm not going to. Instead, I draw your attention to an episode of The Twilight Zone. There's this bank employee, who always liked to sneak down into the vault to secretly read his books (no, not those kinds...) during his lunch break, much too his boss's distain. Well, one day...the Soviets attacked and nuclear holocaust ensued. It seems though that the bank employee was safe in the shieled (lead I guess) bank vault. So, he wanders around the destroyed town, after awhile figures out what's going on, get's supplies...yet still puts money in the register...and then finds the library. Well he's in hog heaven then, what with his love of books. Then, just as he gets done organizing them all, he sits down to read...and his glasses fall off and break. So now he's doomed to go insane being the last person on Earth. Irony sucks eh? Anyone else remember that episode?

I got one, and it's Doom-related too. I THINK I posted this before, but I did a search on my posts and couldn't find it, unless it's hiding in someone's blog. Anyways... After reading the Gamepro magazine years ago about Doom64 and Final Doom (and in hindsight I wish I had kept the thing) I had a dream that a Cyberdemon was out to get me. I was in a grocery store with my mother, going from aisle to aisle. I looked down one aisle and saw the Cyberdemon. Dunno what he was shopping for...or was he working a counter in the back, lol, I don't remember, anyways. I hurridly began to make for the exit, but I couldn't explain to my mother what was going on for some reason. So we were waiting at the checkout, when I look back and see the horns and half the head poking up from the aisles. Needless to say I got really nervous, and he got closer and closer, was up on me...and then I woke up. The really funny thing? I'd never really seen the Cyberdemon, the only thing I had to go on was a picture of part of him in the table of contents page.

Ok. I'm working on a Doom II PWAD, but Im wanting to use the Doom I skyboxes (and possibly other textures) in some areas. So, how do I pull these into my project? I'm using Doom Builder.

Hey now, don't knock adventure games...the Myst games are pwnage, especially Riven.

Watch some of Jackie Chan's non-American films, they feel a lot more like a Bruce Lee film or whatnot. I'd have to say Bruce Lee also. My favorite thing would have to be in (I think) Enter The Dragon, where he's in that jail cell and he blocks the guy's punch with his own punch...and completly explodes the guy's arm. Total pwnage. For those of you who haven't seen it, think Berserk pack gibbage on the opponents arm...oh and his face too. I'll see if I can find the clip. Heh, gibbage. New word for me, woo! I take martial arts myself, so I can tell when stuff is real and stuff is "for show" Bruce Lee is for real, albiet still doctored up. Of course there's the fight between him and Kareem Abdul Jabar.

Those guys have been listening to Jack Thompson and his sea of lies too much methinks.

I've done a bit of the roaring and cursing myself during my DI stints. Great fun. Anyways. Brad - name I prefer as opposed to my full name (life) Bradfish - interesting story behind that one (17) Krell - Halo name (16) The Brain - I was the goto guy in NJROTC heh (14) XO - Military ppl will get this (17)

Blah, if only I could pull the opening sound out of the Doom RPG....yes I bought that thing, so what? It's Doom, and it passes the time, what else does it need? Plus the opening sound is polyphonic E1M1, so total pwnage there.

Which do you think is the better boss, and why? Me, I prefer the Cyberdemon. Sure the Spider Mastermind has 1000 more hp, but when you shoot the bloody thing, no pun intended, it just stands there; part of the damage routine, it can't fire or move while stunned from a hit. So if you have a full backpacked plasma rifle, you'll clear through him in no problem. The Cyberdemon on the other hand takes a bit of work, since he can't be stunned. Plus he looks a lot more intimidating than some big brain mass on robot legs. Reminds me of the Bo'maar monks from ROTJ, Mr. Spidey does. Just imagine Doom 3 with the Spider Mastermind at the end instead of the Cyberdemon...not to mention you've already fought that spider mother twice...

Doomsday is wierd about it's multiplayer. Perhaps try Zdaemon? Allows for internet play in addition to LAN. http://www.zdaemon.org

I've been playing since 1.666, still have my shareware copy even. I would post this in the regular Doom section, but can't put polls there.

Gigawatt Watt = A unit of measure for work, that is, measured at the rate of one joule per second. Kilowatt = 1,000 watts Megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts Gigawatt = 1,000 megawatt Sooo.... 1 GW = 1,000,000,000 W

Only after completing 10 billion offers that negate the FREE* aspect and result in MORE spam.

Yea I'm in the good ol' US of A. And that sounds about right, 3 commercial for a 30 min. show. The one after the teaser/intro bit, the 15 min. break, and the wrapup break. Or many times that last one is there at the end after the show goes off.

Well what's your take on that creepy Burger King king? Like the one commercial where the dude wakes up to see the king sitting in his bed. If that was me, I'd put a clip from a 9mm in his face, lol. Or the other one with the lumberjack, that's just creepy, the king stalking that lumberjack out in the woods...then looking all happy logrolling. Not to mention the one with Vader and the king staring at each other as they're breathing: VADER: CooooooHHHH!!! PAAAAAHHH!!! KING: HHHHEEEEEE!!!! HOOOOOOOO!!! Of course Hardee's has that one with the dude shaking the cow whilst "Shake That Thing" plays.

I used to have it, but then I lost it, stupid format. Link anyone?

Well I'd have to say Hardee's, if only for the fact that I work there and get a 15% discount, lol. Also my granddad used to be the regional manager for the southeast division before the buyout....what buyout?? The CKE buyout, that is...the same people who own Carl's Jr bought Hardee's. Yep, just Carl's Jr with a different namem, slightly different menu, (those portabella mushrooms are expensive on the east coast, so we get stuck with mushroom goop) and a tilted star. Check the sites you non-believers! http://www.hardees.com http://www.carlsjr.com

That comes under since before 1.666, since 1.666 was the first non-beta version.

I read something the other day about IDSPISPOD. http://www.anoca.org/faq/game/idspispopd.html It seems a newsgroup was angry at id over all the posts on "Where can I download Doom" and whatnot, so they said next time, make it an incredibly long and complicated name, such as Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris, or....SPISPOD. And of course id ran with that as an in-joke with the code. IDDQD, hmmm...I'm wanting to say I read something about that too, but I can't remember what nor where. Well that answers my question about IDDQD.

Are you playing on Nightmare?

*pokes the icky oldness with a imp's spine thingy* IPX?! Jeez man, what cave you been living in? AFAIK, cable modems can use IPX, but I've never been around it, and you'd be lucky to find anyone especially in the gaming community, even Doom, who still uses it. Just get an internet client such as ZDaemon or something, or get a source port. Hell, even Doom95 supports TCP/IP LAN and (I think) Internet play.

I have a book on the actual code needed to pull bitmaps in as sprites, but one of my friends is borrowing it at the moment.

Doom the Roguelike is what you're looking for. http://chaos.magma-net.pl/doom/ Enjoy!
