Doom lives on! [2008-05-08 14:48]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
Doom 4 was announced yesterday.

Doom II was the classic first-person shooter game we played in grade 10, a mix of demonic and almost Lovecraftian horror. Our school had a "computer users student organization" that would meet during lunch time, but all we did was play Doom II on the school's LAN. Up to 16 people in deathmatch! So we nicknamed it the "Doom student organization".

Many of us still play Doom II online for free using Zdaemon. I particularly enjoy the coop mode where 16 people can work together to shoot down the demons and complete a level!

Let's not forget Doom, the Roguelike for and even olderskool, rich ASCII experience!

Check out this home-made plush cacodemon!

Somehow, though, a plastic demon is more fun to play with than a brightly-painted wooden block...

I played Wolfenstein 3-D in grade 10: the original FPS, also by Apogee and iD.

I don't remember Doom I that well. It seems that Doom II quickly replaced it.

Not really. For some of us, Doom II always felt like a cheap imitation.

Ultimate Doom was a nice tribute though. They added a fourth episode and everything.

I wonder how hard it is to learn to design custom plushies. I'd love to take a workshop in Toronto to learn this skill.

CUUUUUUTE! I love him!

I've made my own plushies before. It's easy if you have a sewing machine and some basic sewing skillz. I'm sure you could get some nice odds and ends at the fabric stores around Queen West.

I worked with Dave Taylor of Doom and Quake fame while I was at Transmeta. (He wrote once in a README, "I ported Doom to Linux because Linux gives me a woodie".)

He cleans up pretty too, but in a much more masculine way.

Golly. I remember playing Demon Stalkers in the very early 90s on my Atari PC2 (an IBM clone which had built in VGA, oh joy!). Never quite got to Doom, though I did used to play Captain Comic and Duke Nuke'em.

I also loved Empire Deluxe but nowadays getting the time to play anything more than just a few minutes seems difficult. Loved the plush Eye of Beholder.

I should be more excited about that announcement, but right now too busy smiling because you mentioned the Roguelike.
