I started playing Quake's single-player campaign again, and maybe I'm just a baby but that game is still impressively harrowing and intense even today, not least because of the amazing score. I'm starting to remember why I loved it so much the first time I played.

Thanks to that book, every time I see John Carmack I imagine him battering down doors with his battle axe. Masters of Doom is awesome.

Back To Saturn X is pretty great and pretty to look at.

So that's something. Can't decide if it looks cool or poo poo.

I've found what I think will be the mod I use for general doom playing: Smooth Doom.

It doesn't change gameplay at all. The main effect is the doubling of the number of frames of every animation, which makes a surprisingly large difference. It also adds some minor cosmetic effects like shell casings and blood, all of which are toggleable from a settings menu.

It's not done yet but I really like it as a "change nothing but make things look a little nicer" mod.

Smooth Doom just updated again, now with a much better trailer:

100% Vanilla gameplay, but with a lot of GZDoom visual goodness. Most of it is toggleable via an extra options menu.

Edit: There is one tiny gameplay change now, and optional in the menu - you can opt to make Pinky demons a little faster, because they're kinda chumps normally.

Do people still play Quake 3 Arena? I downloaded Quake Live after it came out on Steam only to find out they added weapon loadouts that kind of ruin the game for me (you can just spawn with a rocket launcher and never run out of ammo).

Some speedrunners have been picking up the original Descent games lately and they are a pretty fun watch.

I hate Descent II's CD soundtrack, I set up D2X-Rebirth to use MechWarrior 2/Ghost Bear's Legacy/MW2 Mercenaries music instead. Also Descent 1's proper soundtrack is midi.

In the Doom games, the sprites for the doomguy, trooper, and sargeant all exhibited mirroring at certain angles, i.e., the front-left view was just a mirror of the front-right view. This is evident in the way that the gun jumps from one position to another:

However people have known for years that full rotations of those sprites existed at one point, because the original Doom manual actually showed some of the missing frames in the cast section:

Anyways, one thing Romero managed to dig up and release was the full rotations! Rejoice!

The only issue I have with ZDL is that it flat-out refuses to remember the last folder I was in. Every time the Open File dialog opens up, it's in the folder ZDL's running from. No exceptions.

After loving Masters of Doom I picked up David Kushner's other book, Jacked. This one is about Rockstar and the development of the Grand Theft Auto series. It's pretty telling that a guy who sent his cat off to die for autistic reasons, and the doofus who sank Ion Storm are far more interesting and sympathetic characters. The Rockstar guys just aren't very interesting, and their attempts to be cool are laughable.

Doom 4 is a sure sign that video gaming as we know it is a dead artform. It looks like its a game about shooting things and opening doors. Thats not what Doom is. That's a mockery of the legacy Doom has left behind. Doom was never about guns, monsters, running, grunting, or even the suspicious face with the shifty eyes. No. Doom was about carefully picking things up off the floor, like a single parent with twin five year olds. It was a thinking mans game. It was barely even about shooting, monsters, or hell. It was about carefully managing things on the floor. You'd run around a level, notice a thing, then pick the thing up. If you saw four shotgun shells sitting by a lamp you would remember them and go back when you needed 4 shotgun shells. Whenever you saw a squiggly green line floor you'd try to recall where you last saw the body condom, you'd strategically head back and get it. Whenever you needed a screaming face orb, you'd calmly and tactically return to the last place you saw one. Because you made all the choices, and the only choices to make in Doom were what floor treasures you picked up. You see, it was all up to the player 20 years ago. The game developers didn't have a story. They didn't have a pre-planned path. No cutscenes. No linear levels. They barely even had games. It was all about giving the player choices. Do you choose to run away when the flying meatball burps a skull at you? Do you go down the hallway with a smasher in the ceiling? Do you open the blue door after you get the blue skull? It's up to you. The developers left it completely open ended. Nothing like games today - You're railroaded everywhere you go. Oh gee, another brown hallway, wonder if theres a door at the end. Hey, look at that a skeleton, I bet I have to shoot him. An empty room with a switch, which wall is going to open up? Hmm, this area looks pretty wide open, how long before Im stuck in here fighting 30 monsters? It's sad that the scripted E3 hype demo video is nothing like the Doom I played when I was 11.

Also mean that Turok 3 and Rage Wars might also finally get PC releases. I really wanted to play those games to finish the series, but my god I cannot wrap my head around that N64 controller.

Reminder that the only reason Goldeneye didn't get a 360 or other rerelease is that Nintendo refused to accept the free money they'd have gotten.

I agree. I really miss the version of DoD before they went retail, 3.1b I think? I've been running a 1.3 server for the past four years until people finally stopped joining. You can still find some dads playing DoD 1.3 on weekends, though.

Doom was heavily rushed to hit the 32X launch, to the point of flying John Carmack in to basically camp out at Sega of America's offices. IIRC the 32X launch titles had a pretty bumpy ride to release on account of proper devkits taking a while to get out there and documentation that was either lacking or in Japanese, so there's your reason for that version's, shall we say, lacking quality.
