Lizardcommando

I finally changed my rank after 15-20 years. Dunno why it took me so long to do that.

Don't worry, I'm still a good person because I like dogs.

I've been a member of Doomworld since December 12, 2001... Jesus fuck, that's over 20 years. Where the Hell did the time go?

Well, I feel like a stupid idiot: paying for the pro version of Disk Drill when there are other better programs out there that could have recovered my corrupt data from my fucked up USB drive. That's what I get for not doing more research. FML

I finally successfully made a silent teleport which is supposed to simulate a staircase going over a floor. I feel like a winner.

what a way to end the year. a damn speeding ticket. fml

I finally beat Doom 2 on the Nintendo Switch and man, I really don't remember having so much trouble with the Icon of Sin. It could be due to the controls, but I definitely remember having less issues playing in the Doom95 source port lol.

Things are finally looking up for me. Aside from finally getting my first dose of the COVID19 vaccine (I got the Pfizer one.), I finally moved out of my old apartment and am living by myself and I am supposed to be starting a new job delivering medical supplies some time soon. One of my friends currently works there and was the one who helped me get the job.

Finally being able to get some peace and quiet is such a relief. No more loud annoying roommates who don't clean up after themselves and who eat and make some really smelly ass food. God it feels good to be out of there.

The Zaku 2 Kai: now that's a damn good mobile suit.

I just realized that practically all of the wads and mods I have made over the years have never been fully finished. They have either been outright cancelled or put on a "permanent hiatus". I think the only things I can truly say are considered 100% finished are my "bomb vest" joke wad, my crappy bar deathmatch map, my contributions to "32in24" single player megawad, my contribution to the megawad in 2 weeks project, and my old, old Lizard Wad mod.

I remember seeing an interview for the new Doom Eternal game a while back saying that basically all of the fan made wads and mods were canon to the Doom storyline. Does that basically mean that Doomguy canonically traveled through the crazy ass levels like deus vult, nuts.wad, the Sky Maybe and all of those fugly troll maps that invaded the /idgames archives 5-10 years ago to defeat Hell's forces? Fuuuuuck, no wonder Doomguy has a severe case of PTSD. 

Yeah.... so there was a mass shooting in my hometown on Sunday. I don't really know what to say except I get what people say when they say "You don't really think a horrible tragedy can happen to your hometown until it happens." Or something to that effect. It makes me sad, mad and disgusted that it happened during our annual food festival, a community event where families gather to eat a bunch of food, drink beer and wine and buy various crafts. Fuck.

I honestly can't believe my cartoony ZDoom mod Lizard Squad mod is 10 years old. I'm also still surprised there are still some people playing it. I didn't even think I'd finish all the enemies before calling it quits. But lo and behold, it's pretty much done. Obviously, there would be LOTS to improve like remaking/revamping the weapon sprites and replacing "borrowed" Metal Slug sprites with new ones, but let's save that for a completely different mod.

Yo, what is that screenshot on your avatar from?

I can't believe I'll be turning 26 this Tuesday. It's a weird feeling. Kind of a bittersweet feeling to be honest. Sure, I've graduated from college for months now, but with a useless BA degree in graphic design. I'm working part-time at a commercial radio station in promotions where the hours have been dwindling for me since September and some crappy personal shit happened earlier in the year. Fortunately, there are a few good things that happened to me this year:

I've started actively going for my passion, which is voice-over work. I know it's kind of silly, but what the hell do I have to lose? I'm done with school and this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm looking for another job at the moment to supplement the crappy hours I'm getting at my current job. I dropped my old friends back in June and I've been much happier hanging out with the friends I've made at the college radio station I used to have a show at. I still help out over there with production stuff and that's been keeping me happy. I've even started putting myself out there and went out with a few ladies and that's something I've never really saw myself being successful at five years ago!

So overall, this year, while it has been bittersweet during the first 6 months give or take a few good moments sprinkled in them, have not been too bad. All I can really say is that I've been much happier now than I have been during the last 2 years.

It's a great program. It's much easier to use than Wad Author. I guess the reason why I held off on using it for so long was because I had some pretty bad experiences with Doom Builder 1. It would either freeze on my when I tried to load up an old map I made in Wad Author or it would just crash when I tried going into that 3D viewer mode.

Short Version: It's a long rant on looking back at past stuff and also stuff dealing with my life these days.

Long Version:Instead of working on my small animation project and any other school stuff, I was wasting my time here and looking at all the past crap I posted. I found this gem just now and I am utterly embarrassed for the retarded crap I posted. I am slightly amused at how insane most of my early posts are. I also remember an early post I made and I asked who Joseph Stalin and Mao Ze Dong (spelling is probably not right, but who cares) are. Now that's pretty embarrassing.

I sure miss some of the old members like Sephiroth, koolkat, and Dunbar. I know I missed a couple other members, but these guys I remember most. I didn't talk to Sephiroth a whole lot aside from posting through here, but I do remember emailing and IMing the likes of Koolkat and Dunbar. Looking back at these old posts and remembering the names of a few of the members who used to post here and then seeing the new posts now and not seeing their familiar names is kinda saddening. I can't really remember the last time I even saw them post something here. Geez, I miss some of these old members.

Aside from the last two days of October, overall it's been a pretty fucking crappy month for me. I've fallen a bit behind on school and some other personal stuff has been fucking me over, namely this girl I like and kinda sorta fucking things up with her, then fixing things up a bit, and then fucking things up again. It's all a friggin' roller coaster ride, but I don't really feel like going into huge details. It's been putting me into a slight depression. I don't know what the fuck to think. I'm trying to keep up with everything, but it just feels like every time I try to improve myself, something holds me back and I keep falling behind. It feels like life's going at warp speed and I'm just drifting along. I'm sure that feeling will go away once I start forcing myself to trudge along through this semester. Then again, there's probably a good chance that this feeling won't go away, so meh...

I'm trying to improve myself socially, taking baby steps, improving myself by taking better care of myself. Back in high school, I wouldn't even try to talk to anyone. I'd just sit somewhere and draw some stupid doodles by myself. These days, I actually try to talk to people in my class. You know, start up small conversations with random people in my class and whatnot. Hell, I've even mustered the courage to talk to this girl that I like. Now that's something I would never had done in High School. Back in those days, I'd run away as far away as possible from her! I have little chats with her every time I see her at work. I know that's not really much, but to me, that's something. That's a real step up from saying "Uuuuh, hi..." And then running away like a pussy. I still get a little nervous talking to her, but at least it's not as ridiculously bad as I was in High School.

I don't really know why I'm typing all this stuff. Maybe it's from the nostalgia of my old posts, looking back at how ignorant and immature I was back then and then looking at what I've become today. I know I'm not exactly the most well-known member here or one of the veterans of this forum, but I've been around since December 2001 and to me, that feels like a really, really long time ago.

Anyways, so that's about it. Hi guys. :)

Since May, Doomworld was always loading really slow for me. I don't know why. It would take about 3-5 minutes just to load the forums and the other pages on the site. The /idgames database and the /newstuff review center page, however, loads fast. Anyways, just right now, it seems like the main site and the forums load pretty fast all of a sudden.

Did anyone else notice this or is it just me?

I woke up this morning to find out my parents had my dog Peter was put to sleep. He was 15 years old. He was a mix of a Golden Retriever and an American Eskimo dog, in case anyone was wondering what kind of dog he was.

Goddamn, I wish they could have given me a heads up on that. Yeah, it was obvious that it was going to happen eventually and everyone pretty much knew he wasn't going to have much time to live, but still. I wish my parents said when they were going to put him down. Fuck, this sucks. The last thing I said to my dog was "Hey Peter, you ok?" How fucking stupid is that? Goddamn, I wish I could have just said something more meaningful and at least given my dog one last hug. This fucking sucks. If there's one thing that surprises me abotu that dog is that he didn't go so sooner. I mean, 15 years is pretty damn old for a dog, right?

I'm going to miss Peter.

...but some sick fucks are posting that and some other extremely nasty ass shit over at the ZDoom forums. What the fuck is going on over there?!

I got my AA in Liberal Arts/University Studies. I was originally going for a degree in Digital Media, but the scheduling was fucked up and I wasn't able to take one of the courses that I needed for it. For some reason, I had my photoshop class at the same time as my English 1C class. I needed both classes for the Digital Media degree, but my councelor said that if I were to take the English 1C class, it would fulfill the requirements for the AA in Liberal Arts/University Studies, so I had to change my major. Oh well. The whole graduation ceremony was pretty boring. There was two good speeches. I dozed off to sleep for a few minutes during the ceremony and I woke up because for some reason everyone was standing up and waving their arms around. I still haven't a clue what happened at that moment. I was pretty much awake throughout the rest of the ceremony.

Anyways, hopefully I transfer to San Jose State in the Spring of '08.

I just realized how stupid I was back then. I cursed soo much back then. Yeah, sure I still curse now and when I type on forums/messageboards, but I didn't think I cursed that much. I still can't realize how many stupid things I've said... Then again, I found some rather interesting stuff I wrote too... I had some fucked up dreams.

Oh well, I'm glad I've gone past that level of stupidity. :p

Anyone else ever look back at their old posts and reminisce about what you were thinking when you wrote some of your old posts?

I finally got a hold of the original author of Lilium via AIM and showed him my parody and he liked it! According to the author of Lilium, it's one of the best parodies he's seen.

I feel so honored. :)

Ok, I dreamt that I was watching 24 and when someone mentioned Walt Cummings's name, I heard two idiots giggling behind me. I turned around and I saw Peter and Chris Griffin! Chris was like "Haha. He said Cummings." And Peter was like "Cummings. Ehhehehehehe. (that was supposed to be his signature giggle)" I look back at the TV and everything turned into the Family Guy-style animation/artwork. I was really confused and when I looked back at Peter and Chris, the entire world turned into the Family Guy-style animation/artwork!

As the title implies, I had a really crazy ass dream some time ago...

For some odd reason, I wished Lizardcommando would appear and help rid the world of terror. I don't know why I made a stupid wish like that, but I just did.

Anyways, my wish came true and with a white flash of light accompanied with the Doom teleporting sound, Lizardcommando appeared but then he shot up my house. The funny thing is that I didn't even give a shit. Armed with his trusty Colt .45's modified with laser sights and exploding hollowpoint bullets, dual MP5K's, an XM8, Sawed off double barrel shotgun, and a Katana, he looked like he could take on legions of insurgents, terrorists, gangsters, murderers, the BTk Killer, etc. He said he had some stuff to do and he wanted me come and watch how people should deal with psychos, so he teleported us to some really weird places.

First he teleports us in the one of the airplanes that crashed into the Twin Towers and etc. The terrorists spotted us, but they didn't stand a chance against the government-hired killer. With the Bezerk Sphere and a short sword, he chopped off their arms and lob the arms into their stomach, impaling them and then punched a hole through their skulls to finish them off. And then LC would pick up one of the Box Cutters and throws in that one douche bag's head (the one everyone always remembers, it was Mohamad Mokaba or something. Who cares.) Anyways, LC carves a target in his head and when the Mohamad guy's screaming bloody gibberish, LC smashes his ribs, impaling his vital organs and throws him off the plane and takes out a high powered Bolt Action Rifle and shoots him in the middle of the air (shoots him right in the craved up target) and he blows up into a mist of gold coins and everyone down below starts taking them thanking him. Lizardcommando and me continues teleporting to the other airplanes and single-handedly kills off each and every one of the terrorists. I thought the day was over, but apparently Lizardcommando had other stuff to do, so we teleport again.

Now we're at Columbine, so he tells me he's going to show Colorado SWAT how their job should be done. Lizardcommando snuck through the ventilation shafts and when saw the two dumbasses in view... BLAM! Shoots one of them in the head! And the guy's head explodes from the hollowpoint bullet filled with enough explosives to clean a baby elephant's head off! He jumps down below and while the other guy tries shooting LC down with a shitty TEC-9, he fills him with lead with his trusty MP5K's. The guy's in a pool of blood and LC tells the other people hiding to get the hell out and get paramedics to tend to the wounded. The guy tries to shoot the kids running away, but he gets his arm blown away and and then another bullet right between the eyes. I somehow end up inside that school and then Lizardcommando said there was a giant army filled with all of the scum-of-the-earth and we teleport down to some giant hellish-looking floating platform about Los Angeles where the army was being made.

I was floating in the air for some reason watching through a bunch of cameras when Lizardcommando went against the army of assholes. So many serial killers, insurgents, terrorists, psychopaths, religious nutcases, every jack ass imaginable charged at Lizardcommando. Jack the Ripper couldn't touch him! Hell no! LC cut the fucker in half and then kick his top half at Scott Peterson and then right before he tries killing his wife, Lizardcommando shoots off his legs with a sawed off double barrel shotgun and then stabs him in the temples with two bowie knives. The BTk killer dies even quicker than Jack the Ripper because LC grabs his head and slam it down into the ground and then equip himself with a Bezerk Sphere and smash his brains into nothing. Then these Iraqi insurgents and the cannibals
who killed and mutilated and ate parts of those US soldiers two or three years ago tried to bite Lizardcommando, but BLAM! BLAM! His good ol' Colt .45's gibbed them into oblivion.

Then all of a sudden Osama jumped into the air and swung a giant sickle, but he was riddled with bullets but LC's XM8 and then threw his mangled bullet ridden corpse into a stick, impaling him through the heart. Abu Zabu Marcofi had giant hammers on his hands and swung like a mad man, but Lizardcommand tripped him and fell inside a giant meat grinder. Just when half of the army was being desimated and destroyed, I woke up and I had about 30 minutes to get from my home to my psychology class...

Goddamn, that was one crazy ass dream... I wish I could remember what other serial killers Lizardcommando killed.

Seriously, where the fuck did this acronym come from? The ZDoom forums? Someone tell me when this acronym started getting popular?

I see these letters everywhere and it's driving me insane. Can someone explain to me what the Z stands for in ZOMG?
