Minecraft would be pretty bad too. Everything is fucking blocks and you have giant spiders, zombies, skeletons and damned creepers sneaking up and exploding on you and if you get no sleep... phantoms in your hair, not to mention all the other annoying creatures that constantly spawn and you go to town for some snacks and everybody is talking in grunts 'Hrmmmm, Haaaaaahhh, Haaaah, HrRrrRRRMMM'.

Yay MandalorianGuy will be able to glory punch enemies and use his forked ion prod electro-bayonet to suck health out of low tier galactic empire goons.

Ugh, Doom Eternal. I hate thinking about it. I think it has some nice design but overall it's the worst Doom Game to date. I played 8 hours and I have no more interest in it. So much of it just doesn't jive with me. Fake infighting, arena battles, dashing through the air, glory kill overkill, platforming, etc... I didn't even get to all that lore crap with angels and junk. I liked my doom better when the demons and hell were more mysterious. It shouldn't be that hard to come up with a new doom game but I don't have much if any faith in nu-id.

The Newdoom Community Project was started on November 11th, 2002 when Xtife (Sparky)... now known as @ChaoticReverie posted the idea on the Newdoom Forums. I took over as project lead within a month or so of us starting on it (memory might be foggy). The project was released in 2006 and went on to win a Cacoward! It took 4 years to complete and we went through a lot of mappers in the process ending up with 15 that weren't able to contribute for various reasons and in the end it took 24 people to make 32 maps. This time around it won't take 4 years! Fast forward to 2018 and I'm getting the itch to do an update to the megawad. So I fiddled with my map (map01) for a bit and then proceeded to map02 that was designed by Mystic. I gave him a shout on Facebook and got permission to do what is needed to fix up his two maps. I did some work to them but then drifted away from it. During that time @Aliotroph? did some work on his map10. Then @galileo31dos01 sent me a message in 2020 concerning bug fixes and Crispy compatibility. So that got me back to it for awhile, but I drifted away from it again while galileo sent a version with numerous bug fixes. This year I bit the bullet and started contacting other members. The following people I could not contact [edit] --> as of Oct 2022 the only member left to find / contact is DoomedAce. As many of us know, Espi passed away in 2009. He was a great mapper and a cool guy. I was so happy to have him design a map for the project way back when. I went over his map and fixed a few minor things and made some modified door textures to help snazz up a few things and I hope he would approve... The three maps that need the most work are 02, 15 and 23. Clearly 02 and 15 are deathmatch levels with monsters. 23 is a 500 monster switch hunt. I have permission from Mystic to work on 02 and 15. I worked on map23 and have it in a much better state for playing but I have no contact with Grunt, so I'm hoping to be able to track him down. Thankfully the other members are either working on maps or gave permission. It's understandable at this point that many people are busy with real life and don't have time to be working on Doom maps and in some cases haven't touched editing tools in years. I don't mind taking up the tools and working on the maps myself and being as respectful as one can be with the original work.... So what's in the Remaster? Many bug fixes for sure. There will be a full list when project is done. Revised some of the existing textures. Made new textures. Added author names to intermission level graphics. Made some new item graphics (mainly health pickups so far). Tweaks to combat / lighting / architecture. Added new music thanks to galileo31dos01. Have yet to go through and really listen to all tracks. Basically we're doing the usual fix-it up kinda stuff. The olde version will always be available to those who want to play it or load up those old speed running demos. Here are a some screens! Some are still work in progress of course. Here is a poster I made from a graphic Exl sent me. Found this old banner from when I had a hosted site on Newdoom.

Fries! I love me a feast of fries. Potato chips are a close second...

Currently playing Starfield. Having a blast with it.

Old Canadian here. We were taught in school that Z was pronounced Zed. Then one day in the early 80's I was referring to the band ZZ Top (I only saw the name at the time) as Zed Zed Top, which my friend corrected me on. Ever since then I've used the America pronunciation of the letter in question. I don't know anybody old or young that says Zed anymore.

That's probably what happened to me. I used to use texture filtering many ages ago. Now I can't stand it.

I picked up a few CD's from a charity shop for $1.60 each Canadian. Bruce Springsteen - Lucky Town Bruce Springsteen - The Rising Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live At Carnegie Hall Bonnie Raitt - Fundmental Latefallen - Bloody Kiss

I scored a few CD's from a charity shop for $1.60 each Canadian. Tool - Ænima Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe 2 George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Haircut George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Rockin My Life Away Joe Satriani - Not Of This Earth R.E.M - Document Soundgarden - Superunknown Velvet Revolver - Contraband Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever Tom Petty - Damn The Torpedoes

I'm looking forward to Starfield.

Haha, I have brain farts all the time. It gets worse with age.... ;) Thanks Nems. :D

Hey lookin good. I slowed up for a bit, real life and all that. Still plugging away at it. We'll get er done for sure. :D

Picked this one up new on CD.

Nothing about mapping stresses me out. Real life crap stresses me out sometimes, I don't need that in my hobby. haha. Having way too many projects going at once is something of a weirdness but it's not stressful. Three megawads in the works, two of them on the backburner while a remaster gets worked on. Various other smaller projects. It should stress me out but it doesn't.

I dusted off Guild Wars and have been capturing all the elite skills for my main character that I never bothered to attain back in the day.

Same! Came here to post this. Just went into the store to pick up some pillow cases and grabbed the album along with a loaf of bread. haha. Haven't gotten to listen to it all yet.

Hey Bob. I remember you for sure and your wads. ;) I sometimes miss the old days when I first joined Newdoom and I was like the third person on there, then went exploring the web and found Doom Wad Station and Doomworld. It was the beginning of a great time, which has gone by so fast and so many people have disappeared and some have gone to the great void, like you mentioned Jive. I was just thinking about him and his colorful site and his great enthusiasm for the game and the many wads he collected... he was an interesting fellow and it was sad when he passed on. As for Looneytunedoomer (Looney2ner), he's still around. Over the years I've talked to him sporadically and in recent months more frequently. He has an Aztec themed level that's in the works. He's retired now and doing well. Unfortunately I never knew Wolfy, so don't know what happened to him.

I had to look it up and the Doom Wiki says map29 of Sunlust is called 'Go Fuck Yourself'.
