So yeah, as the topic title suggests, I'm looking for an old .wad called cyberdreams, the premise being that they're all puzzle maps that you attempt to dodge rockets and either hit switches or use teleporters to kill the cyberdemons, or just avoid to complete the levels without dying. I think the actual .wad is cydream, but I don't know for sure. Was playable on vanilla doom, as I recall. Used to be hosted here on /idgames. If anyone knows where a copy is being hosted, or has one the could pass along, I would really appreciate that.

Heh, I read MSPA when it first featured on bobandgeorge.com]bob and george, and I still think it's good. My favourite comic, though, has to be errantstory.com]Errant story.

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba -- As horrified travelers watched, a Greyhound Canada bus passenger repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated the young man sitting beside him, who was sleeping with his head leaning against the window, a witness said Thursday.
"There was a blood-curdling scream. I was just reading my book and all of a sudden I heard it," said Garnet Caton, who was sitting in front of the two men. "It was like something between a dog howling and a baby crying, I guess you could say. I don't think it will leave me for a while."
Caton said he shouted at the other passengers, many of whom also were sleeping, to leave.
"Everybody got off the bus. Me and a trucker that stopped and the Greyhound driver ran up to the door to maybe see if the guy was still alive or we could help or something like that," Caton told CNN. "And when we all got up, we saw that the guy was cutting off the guy's head. ... When he saw us, he came back to the front of the bus, told the driver to shut the door. He pressed the button and the door shut, but it didn't shut in time, and the guy was able to get his knife out and take a swipe at us," Caton said.
The incident happened late Wednesday west of Portage la Prairie, but a standoff between the attacker and police lasted into early Thursday.
The bus was traveling along the Trans-Canada Highway from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was about 45 minutes from its destination when the attack occurred, said Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh in Dallas, Texas.
Witnesses told Canadian TV that the attacker was wielding a butcher-type knife. They said the trucker who stopped provided wrenches and crowbars to several of the men, who were able to keep the suspect on the bus until police came. After the standoff, police took the man into custody.
Wambaugh declined comment, except to "confirm that there was an incident on one of our buses."
"I don't want to compromise the investigation," she told CNN. The incident occurred on the first of two Greyhound Canada buses that were traveling together, she said. The bus was carrying 37 passengers. Those passengers not directly involved in the incident were transferred to the second bus, she said. Others were taken to a hotel in Brandon, where they were met by Greyhound managers and police, Wambaugh said.
Once they are released, Greyhound will take them by bus to Winnipeg, and "we will do whatever is required to help them -- and that includes counseling," she added.
Maybe it's time for us Canadians to put up some form of security on these buses, since essentially, anyone can now bring on a weapon on to them. The fact that someone was able to just put a knife in his pocket and brutally murder someone on a bus is fairly alarming. -

1. Can I get your full name? (First and Last)
Zach B. (You don't get my full last name)
2. Do you have any psychological condition's such as ADHD, depression, anger, etc.?
Nope
3. Were you there, or were you aware of the Columbine High School Massacre?
Saw it on the news
4. Do you know who Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold is?
The shooters.
5. Did you watch News Reports during and/or shortly after the shooting?
Yes, but I barely remember them. It was so long ago.
6. Are you aware of a popular first person shooter by the name of 'Doom'? If so do you own a copy? Play it often? How often?
Yes. Yes. No. Maybe 1 or 2 times a month.
7. Are you aware of Anti-Video game violence activists such as Jack Thompson and MAVAV? Do you support or resist their stands? Reasons why?
Yes. Resist, because Jack needs to find out that it's the result of bad parenting and an unstable life and or childhood is what makes someone do things like this, and not video games.
8. Jack Thompson once labeled 'Doom' as a "Murder Simulator". Do you think this is a valid description of such a game? What makes or makes it not a valid description?
No, because doom is such an unrealistic game that it couldn't possibly simulate murder.
9. Have you, or any of your friends or family ever considered you to be a violent person? If so, did they ever consider it a serious issue?
No. I have a hard time watching horror moves that more than once if they're too violent or something that even slightly disturbs me, like the last scene of "The Mist" ruined it for me.
10. What do you think may be the most violent thing you have ever done?
Consensual sparring. At school.
11. Has playing a video game such as Doom have any affiliation with that?
Nope.
12. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold both have been known to have played and designed levels for Doom. As a player of Doom, do you think it is possible that playing Doom could potentially increase one's probability of wanting to kill or even harm someone? Why or why not?
Maybe, and this is a huge of a stretch as it could possibly get, if the person was extremely disturbed, in which case he probably shouldn't be playing videogames anyways. It's just so unrealistic.
13. Do your friends or family know you play Doom? Do they apporove, or at least enable your playing of that game?
Yes. Yes.
14. Have you ever recognized any changes in your behavior from the time before you first found out about Doom, and to now? If so what?
How people can continually innovate something to make an old product seem no again just amazes me.
15. Knowing that Doom has or has not changed your behavior since you started playing it, what about Doom persists you to continue playing it?
Like I said above, all the new innovations.
16. So under your own jurisdiction as a Doom player, Do you think Doom could or could not provide any additional persuasion to a person to want to harm another person? Are you confident in that answer?
Also Like I said, maybe if the person was extremely disturbed to the point where they shouldn't even be watching Barney, otherwise no. I am confident in my answer. -
Jim Rainer said:Problem is, camtasia isn't free. The OP specifically asked for a free one.
EDIT: On top of that, camtasia doesn't work well with window vista, in case he's running vista on his computer.
Too Bad the free older versions of Camtasia and SnagIt offer had expired. -
Danarchy said:I see your Indian thriller and raise you a Taiwanese? one.
I was wondering why that girl was so ugly, until I found out this was filmed by a bunch of inmates. I guess being the girl is the equivalent of dropping the soap. -
Wow, just wow. It's now only a matter of time before someone makes a "100 reasons why I like japanese movies" topic. Overall though, the movie looks pretty sweet.

I have a new one to add to the list: Undead. Worst fucking movie ever. It isn't even about zombies. It's about aliens, who temporary made people into zombies, then changed them back, then made the float into the air after "curing them all" with rain. Watched this at least 3 times before I finally saw the ending, and now I feel sad. ;_;

Yeah, but no one really gives a neutral opinion on an past war. Either you were right, or you lost.

In my dreams, they are always symbolic, and you can tell that at the end of them. One of my reoccuring dreams is that I do the who RPG cliche where the main character sacrifices himself, and at the end, I tell a fairly close friend of mine that I love her, and then die. This usually leaves her fairly sad and depressed for a little while in the "epilogue" of my dream, as my dreams contradict the whole Rpg cliche of "Main characters who die will always come back through plot holes". Then at the very end of the dream I am having, I see "God", who by the way basically is Morgan Freeman (or at least thats how I picture god to be in my dreams anyways), saying "There is always a lesson to be learned." Then I wake up to my alarm.

Yeah, I heard that yesterday. However, just because he didn't seem to have problems, doesn't mean those problems never existed.

Maybe we, as a community, should write a eulogy. I'm sure someone here knew him well enough that they will be at the funeral. Also, my condolences to his family and friends.

Depending on the engine, you can do exactly what you said with different ways. For example, DECORATE which is used in Zdoom and most of it's spinoffs, allows you to create new monsters, projectiles, weaponry, which weapons occupy which slots, and many other things.

What about a freak Lightning storm that knocked out most/all forms of communication of the last week?

Looking for old .wad called Cyberdreams(I think)
in WAD Releases & Development
Posted
Weird. I searched it on idgames, but nothing showed up. I must have screwed it up somehow(I think I kept putting a space in between cyber and dreams). Anyways, thanks a lot.
