One-shotting a Spider Mastermind with the BFG is largely a GZDoom-ism. It's possible in vanilla, but it requires firing while facing at a near perpendicular map angle (north/south or east/west) due to how hitscans checks are calculated in conjunction with the blockmap. GZDoom changes this calculation by default along with some of Doom's other internal physics handling and checks, making BFG one-shots on the Spiderdemon pretty easy to pull off. This is also why punching Cacodemons in GZDoom is so easy, and the port differences are even more glaring in Doom 2 where Arachnotrons and even Mancubi can be dealt with using the chainsaw whereas this tactic would be very risky in vanilla. You can even defeat a Spiderdemon with nothing but the chainsaw in GZDoom's default settings, something that's nigh impossible in vanilla. GZDoom does allow closely emulating vanilla's normal behavior, however, with the "Doom (Strict)" mode in the compatibility options.
GZDoom set right is a fine way to play vanilla Doom, but some of its quirks are often mistaken as original behavior. I was watching one of Romero's Sigil streams in which he plays exclusively in GZDoom, and he mentioned using some decorative objects like torches as helpful obstructions to block enemy projectiles. However, static decorations only block projectiles in GZDoom's default settings, not in original Doom behavior, so this intended design of his will only function properly in certain ports. These are the sort of idiosyncrasies I always have to keep in mind and account for while making my Doom maps since I know a majority of players will be playing them in GZDoom.

@@HarriJokinen As far as I know Bethesda doesn't let him have it. I also saw reviews in Steam from people who actually think that Bethesda made Keen. God, I hate them.
The reason why Bobby Prince didn't get Copyrighted straight to heck was he was a lawyer before becoming a music maker. So he knew how much to change the songs.
My thoughts as well! The extra animations are really well done and (almost) perfectly capture the originals' look, yet still feel super odd... Guess it's a matter of growing up playing the original and the jerkier animations being ingrained in one's brain as _the_ way those guns just are. ...but what's with the shotgun's firing animation? The added frames make the muzzle flash act weird. Instead of being, you know, a flash, it appears quick but goes away way too slowly, as if being sucked in back to the barrel.
I actually don't even like playing with an uncapped frame rate for similar timing reasons. I played it on DOS & PS1 so many times, it feels like I'm "swimming" through the levels at higher FPS.
Doom becomes easy once you know how everything works. Before that it actually presents a decent challenge. Usually only a couple deaths in, because Doom does such a great job teaching the player through gameplay.
@@Ribbons0121R121 Not really. It's simple and mostly clean, but there are some oversights. decino's channel dives into these bugs pretty often and shows just how sloppy the guys at Id actually were lol

Everybody wants to know more about Civvie 11 and his backstory, meanwhile I'm just sitting here thinking what the hell did Katie do to end up in the dungeon.
Maybe she was needed as an aid in questioning or was taken too just for being one of Uncle Frank's family? Civvie mentioned in his Postal 1 video that she's his sister, right before she pulls a sentence mixing prank on him.
@Toprak Von Cologne I remember his Hatred video came first but I thought he meant that Katie was his sister and he was the one who spoke about her (in videos where she's mentioned including the Hatred one). If Katie isn't his sister, then who is, and who is Katie herself?
Oh god it's like watching a fever dream of my summer of '94 all over again. Sandy Petersen designed some less than stellar levels, but seemed like a pretty cool guy overall. I mean, how many devout mormons do you know who intentionally designed games where you murder entire scores of hell's minions and considers it an innately pro-christian game because of it? That's somehow both spiritual and metal all at once.
Sandy Petersen tried to create eldritch, Lovecraft inspired scenarios (he's a big fan of Lovecraft's work) using the available tools he had at the time. Of course, the results are quite hit or miss. He had his chance to shine in Quake, where he made almost all maps from episode 4.
Your vocal delivery is remarkable. Many similar channels sound more or less like they're reading a script - and yes, I do understand that it is good to script things out, but the trick is to read while not sounding like you're reading at all - and that is something that you seem to be really damn good at, being full of expression and direct with the message. Big commendation for that, it makes listening to these videos in the background of work immeasurably easier.
Anyone who grew up playing Doom will be constantly going, "Hey, that's the sound from Doom!" since so many of the sound effects are from a library that a lot of shows and movies have used for over 20 years. In particular: -The door open sound -The Imp hiss -The "ka-WOOSH!" sound when the Icon of Sin fires out a monster spawn box. This is constantly used as a fireball/explosion sound for movies.
My first experience with computer gaming was watching my father play Doom. I sat through all of Doom 1 and 2 with him, and most of Quake 1. I enjoyed it. Looking back now, he wasn't very skilled (I remember he used mouse2 to move forward, lol), but ofc I couldn't tell that. All I knew was that the games seemed really scary to me as an 8 to 10 year old (somewhere around there) and so experiencing them as a spectator was convenient. Fast forward to today, and it's hard for even games like Outlast to really get my heart going. Desensitized in my youth? lol
@@MrZillas You don't want aim to be compromised by simultaneous movement input. Respective movement and aim inputs need to be independent of one another.
Doom enemy sounds were mostly based on animal sound effects (per Masters of Doom and some Romero interviews), so let's play a game called Guess That Animal. For example the death sound of the Cacodemon is a turkey.
Zombie monsters and imps: Camel Pinky: Lion(Alert)/Pig (Death) Cacodemon: Snake(Alert)/Turkey(Death) Pain Elemental: Dog Baron of Hell: Bull Hell Knight: Arachnotron: I wouldn't know what animal sounds like a computer Spider Mastermind: Donkey Cyberdemon: Horse Arch-Vile: Once again sounds like a computer so whichever animal sounds like a computer Revenant: Goat
"I've spent more time with DOOM than I have with my family". Instead of chuckling, I realized I was nodding, recognizing myself in those wise words. Luckily I'm such a boomer nerd that instead of getting worried, I'll take that as a merit badge.
11:30 the ending of this level is meant to be a joke as you've noted, it's likely the hardest level in DOOM 1 and most people will be near death at the end of it. To walk thru that final door only to be met with 3 colored key doors was meant to be a WTF moment. Only when you open the first door, that has the key right behind it to the second door, then the key behind that one to the next, etc was meant to be a joke to mess with the player. I played DOOM on the GBA a couple months ago on TH-cam/Twitch and this is the final level in that port. It was the first time I'd beat doom past the first few levels, and I was absolutely screaming when I opened that door to see 3 more colored key doors. They pulled this off really well, because I was happy and laughing when I found out it was just a joke!
The level also telegraphs how you easily beat it. Each room has deco corpses of the other demons implying that you run over to the door wake up all the Barrons and Cacos and get them to infight then kill the demons who survived
Ever noticed the tower of babel being built as you progressed through episode 2? That was a weird thing I noticed when I grew up... Also Slough of Despair is a hand holding a booger...
@sad cat man, I'm sorry you don't like it. I think it's pretty solid, and really impressive in terms of atmosphere. I've just started playing it (balls late to the party on that one) and almost finished it. Way better than most of Doom 2, definitely better that Flesh Consumed. Music's also nuts.
"doom is in my blood, if I'd ever have kids, they'll come out circle-strafing" do you have any idea how much that line relates to me, bc that's literally how i came out
The E3M6 secret exit was intended for you to use an Invulnerability Sphere and then use a rocket to propel yourself before it wears off, of course, as demonstrated, you don't actually need to do that. Episode 4 is a lot of fun, E4M1 throws you right into the action.
@@WAcrobat19 damn, he must be a cool guy then then again, I hear someone on here say he was a fascist or something like damn dude you don't gotta hate faces that much just wear a mask
I agree with that. Duke Forever isn't a terrible game. It's just a disappointment - waiting 12 years for a game to come out and it's just trash. If you want a real sequel to check out, Duke Nukem Zero Hour for the N64 is actually a great game.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge It is though. Its a generic, linear shooter that doesn't even try to copy the old Duke Nukem run and gun style of play. That makes it shit.
the fact behind that is that cacodemon is something that always shits (from what i heard) so possibly he defecates his entire time beacuse of his big mouth he consumes everything with XD
@@czarnakoza9697 no, it's just a pun: in Greek, "caco" means "noisy", but in Latin, it means "shit"-so you combine both meanings and you get a demon with a six-inch anal sphincter that hisses really fucking loud when it sees you.
Man, I imagine you won't see this but the fact that your videos match the music in places is HUGELY appreciated. The opening shotgun, as well as showing the different renderers to the melody of the music is mad fucking satisfying, and I NOTICE IT EVERY TIME, as well as all the other videos too where the trick is deployed.
You know, "the benevolent hyper-intellgent architect of the post-Singularity simulation we all live in John Carmack" is still my favorite Carmack joke, with Doom II's a close second
I appreciated House of Pain (even the damaging floor with the medkits) because I felt like it's really supposed to be a 'House of Pain.' It relies on torture and death traps more than any other level, like Jigsaw designed it.
I remember in early '93 my friend showing "Virtual Reality" and it was Wolf3D.exe (Wolfenstien 3D). I love this video. It takes me back to my Doom glory days in 1994. I appreciate the fact you insist on 256 color pallet and no spiffy fancy openGL bullshit. Awesome work! I love the commentary. Good audio.
You what, I distinctly remember having the buttons < and > bound to strafe left and right by default in Doom1. I never used them because I was an idiot but the option was there.
Not *completely* impossible... With enough determination you could learn to use DoomGuy's momentum alongside complex patterns of Left/Right with and without the Alt key. I used to start Doom II with -nomonsters and IDCLEV to Dead Simple, then charge around for hours practising keyboard-only manoeuvres so I could beat my friend on dial-up deathmatch. I guess it was *almost* a circle-strafe. Alongside my weird three-point turn which at the time I was convinced made me do a faster 180. IDK why I didn't just learn to play with mouse. :-P
I'm so glad your did DOOM! Your commentary has been full of trivia and a real breath of fresh air compared to other looks at DOOM. My favorite thing in this video was the tidbits on the levels and the development team. I didn't know about that Tom Hall replacement bit. Though, if you think Ultimate DOOM has "RAW" elements, then let me tell you about DOOM II. Enemies stuck in place or walls: Map 02 sarge by barrel map 17 Spectre behind door among other spectres (he's the 2nd spectre starting left, closest to bars) Wrong textures or design: Map 05, the waste tunnel originally had a sidewalk to avoid the water, but it was moved to the ceiling. Try switching it to the floor in GZDOOM Builder, and you'll see what I mean. Map 07, a pillar is a complete different texture from the other 3 pillars Map 08, poop water in the "3 portals" room is actually supposed to be red. There is a red liquid texture left over in the wall, the wall opposite of the secret wall in the pit. Lastly is one map in particular exemplifying odd design choice: Map 18, and that damn yellow skull key hidden in the corner of the courtyard and not in any of the mainline structures. When you love a game this much, you start noticing the small things.
IIRC they even reference that fact in the first Doom novel, about how the Barons and the "floating pumpkins" (what they called the cacos in the novel) hated each other.
@@thomasvasquez5759 Indeed they did. Hell-Princes and Pumpkins have a mutual hatred. Even in the game you can see it: the room with the Barons is full of dead Cackies and the Cacky room has mangled Barons on the walls.
I feel like saying "DooM sucks" should be like saying "Primus sucks" or "KMFDM sucks", where it's ironic and kinda weeds out the people who don't have a sense of humor lol.
Ultimate Civvie experience- GZDoom: zdoom.org/downloads Smooth Doom weapons: forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=32628 Extract all files in the gzdoom/zdoom file to any folder. Copy and paste Doom/Doom2 .WADs that can be located in the same folder path where the .exe can be located to the folder where gzdoom is installed. Drag the smooth doom weapons .pk3 file to the gzdoom folder again, and drop the pk3 in the gzdoom .exe. Finally, select which doom you want to play, if you want widescreen etc. and click play. Done.
I literally grew up with Doom. This game affected my life in more ways that I can describe... and I am certain that it helped me survive some of the darkest years of my life :) (salutes fellow Space Marine "Civvie 11")
Hey, I just wanted to say I really love your videos man. I found you through the Postal dead babies vid and have loved watching them since.

They are entertaining and bring a lot of joy into my world. Thanks for the rad videos. It's honestly appreciated more than you'd probably ever imagine so thank you
4:05 same thing with the chaingun. If you tap the trigger you'll get 2 rounds centered every time. Perfect for doubletapping enemies far away or up in windows or on top of ledges.
@@ghoulhellbilly2528 not even that hard, I used to play it a lot but got bored of it. Vanilla doom is absolute perfection imo. Idk if you've ever played hellbound.wad but I beat that with it except for map29 because my computer won't run it.

@@rexlr695 Still one of the biggest mods out there. It's basically it's own thing in a sense, so I don't see a point to the rejection. Not like one can't differentiate the two versions eitherway...

Doom 64 Retribution is an all-in-one wad file that can be run from GZDoom, and the creator posted the original soundtrack by Aubrey Hodges to run with the wad. It's like Doom 64 on an original console, but you don't have to use the janky N64 stick.
This guy Dooms. His praise and gripes of gameplay and map designs definitely mirror my own, even down to the invisibility powerup being a damn curse more than a boon. Thanks for the video!
John said that sigil will be released in April because there were some shipping issues with the physical box copies that people ordered, so when they (the people that ordered sigil) get their physical copies, you get your digital.
It's so fun to grow up old and stick with your classics. After couple of decades, your mindless rambling about cacodemons and lost souls will become more serious as your age brings the gravitas of yer message through. I love being almost 40 and still 10 in my mind.
2:40 it seems like smooyh doom wanted a fluid motion, but forgot that the fluid motion add more to the animation, which im sure the Limitations of PCs at the times had a factor in. Nice work bro.
I found it strange that Deimos doesn't look like itself at the end of episode 2: it looks like a demonic Angel Island. We all know what happens if the demons get the master emerald or at least 1 chaos emerald: El Oscuro happens. Certainly explains why San Nicolas island is full of both rings and coins in 1994/2013. (Rings only appear in the original game alongside coins: 2013 has coins only)
Hearing you describe a game I've also played through like a million times was oddly satisfying. I dream in Doom sometimes. Honestly, this is one of the best videos I've seen on Doom 1 on TH-cam, which is insane considering how often it's talked about.
"If I ever have kids, they're gonna come out circle strafing."

Another Fun Fact: Keen Dreams was just re-released on Nintendo Switch for some reason. From what I understand, Softdisk games are constantly juggling between companies so unfortunately it's unrelated to Tom Hall's own efforts
I always wondered why there weren't more Keen games. Every other big id Software IP has gotten a modern sequel.
@@HarriJokinen As far as I know Bethesda doesn't let him have it. I also saw reviews in Steam from people who actually think that Bethesda made Keen. God, I hate them.
The reason why Bobby Prince didn't get Copyrighted straight to heck was he was a lawyer before becoming a music maker. So he knew how much to change the songs.

Man the extra frames in the smooth weapons is just strangely looking
My thoughts as well! The extra animations are really well done and (almost) perfectly capture the originals' look, yet still feel super odd... Guess it's a matter of growing up playing the original and the jerkier animations being ingrained in one's brain as _the_ way those guns just are.
...but what's with the shotgun's firing animation? The added frames make the muzzle flash act weird. Instead of being, you know, a flash, it appears quick but goes away way too slowly, as if being sucked in back to the barrel.
MosoKaiser I only use smooth doom now because it just doesn’t look right without it
It's very jarring to just be looking at but once you get used to it and it's not that bad, I don't know which I prefer
It's kinda weird yeah... I like the original
I actually don't even like playing with an uncapped frame rate for similar timing reasons. I played it on DOS & PS1 so many times, it feels like I'm "swimming" through the levels at higher FPS.

Everybody wants to know more about Civvie 11 and his backstory, meanwhile I'm just sitting here thinking what the hell did Katie do to end up in the dungeon.
Maybe she was needed as an aid in questioning or was taken too just for being one of Uncle Frank's family? Civvie mentioned in his Postal 1 video that she's his sister, right before she pulls a sentence mixing prank on him.
@Toprak Von Cologne I remember his Hatred video came first but I thought he meant that Katie was his sister and he was the one who spoke about her (in videos where she's mentioned including the Hatred one). If Katie isn't his sister, then who is, and who is Katie herself?
@Toprak Von Cologne That's how Civvie's sister fits in? Yikes forever!
Thanks for the clarification.
@Toprak Von Cologne Ah right. I'll need to watch it again as it's been a while since I saw his Postal and Hatred videos.
She left in too many black frames
Oh god it's like watching a fever dream of my summer of '94 all over again.
Sandy Petersen designed some less than stellar levels, but seemed like a pretty cool guy overall. I mean, how many devout mormons do you know who intentionally designed games where you murder entire scores of hell's minions and considers it an innately pro-christian game because of it?
That's somehow both spiritual and metal all at once.
That one line from Joshua Graham in Fallout New Vegas comes to mind.
"We can't expect god to do all the work."
He made some weaker maps, but he also made some of the best levels of Doom and Doom 2.
Don't forget he also created the Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG.
"I'm okay with the demons. They're the bad guys after all"
Sandy Petersen tried to create eldritch, Lovecraft inspired scenarios (he's a big fan of Lovecraft's work) using the available tools he had at the time. Of course, the results are quite hit or miss. He had his chance to shine in Quake, where he made almost all maps from episode 4.

@@xmm-cf5eg why are you everywhere
Your vocal delivery is remarkable. Many similar channels sound more or less like they're reading a script - and yes, I do understand that it is good to script things out, but the trick is to read while not sounding like you're reading at all - and that is something that you seem to be really damn good at, being full of expression and direct with the message. Big commendation for that, it makes listening to these videos in the background of work immeasurably easier.
Anyone who grew up playing Doom will be constantly going, "Hey, that's the sound from Doom!" since so many of the sound effects are from a library that a lot of shows and movies have used for over 20 years.
In particular:
-The door open sound
-The Imp hiss
-The "ka-WOOSH!" sound when the Icon of Sin fires out a monster spawn box. This is constantly used as a fireball/explosion sound for movies.
I remember the door sound being in courage the cowardly dog
I heard the spawner sound in one piece recently
Everytime you see Civvie post a video you know it was worth the wait.
Most definitely 👍(=w=

"I spent more time with Doom than with my family."
No wonder Karen left with the kids.
My first experience with computer gaming was watching my father play Doom. I sat through all of Doom 1 and 2 with him, and most of Quake 1.
I enjoyed it. Looking back now, he wasn't very skilled (I remember he used mouse2 to move forward, lol), but ofc I couldn't tell that. All I knew was that the games seemed really scary to me as an 8 to 10 year old (somewhere around there) and so experiencing them as a spectator was convenient.
Fast forward to today, and it's hard for even games like Outlast to really get my heart going. Desensitized in my youth? lol
I bet he never noticed she was gone, probably only made things less noisy and disturbing
:D
@@CognizantCheddar - I use mouse2 for walking forward too and I am pretty good.
@@MrZillas You don't want aim to be compromised by simultaneous movement input. Respective movement and aim inputs need to be independent of one another.
Thats because Karen sucks at the game.
Back in the day we discovered you could snipe the Cyberdemon with the shotgun through a gap in the walls
you could WHAT
I did that too because I was too scared, saved after every 3 shots

"If I ever have kids they're going to come out circle strafing" is probably my favorite Civvie line of all time
I just love how well the shotgun is in sync with the music in the intro 0:23
Doom enemy sounds were mostly based on animal sound effects (per Masters of Doom and some Romero interviews), so let's play a game called Guess That Animal. For example the death sound of the Cacodemon is a turkey.

*Perfection*
11:30 the ending of this level is meant to be a joke as you've noted, it's likely the hardest level in DOOM 1 and most people will be near death at the end of it. To walk thru that final door only to be met with 3 colored key doors was meant to be a WTF moment. Only when you open the first door, that has the key right behind it to the second door, then the key behind that one to the next, etc was meant to be a joke to mess with the player. I played DOOM on the GBA a couple months ago on TH-cam/Twitch and this is the final level in that port. It was the first time I'd beat doom past the first few levels, and I was absolutely screaming when I opened that door to see 3 more colored key doors. They pulled this off really well, because I was happy and laughing when I found out it was just a joke!
The level also telegraphs how you easily beat it. Each room has deco corpses of the other demons implying that you run over to the door wake up all the Barrons and Cacos and get them to infight then kill the demons who survived
0:24 The shotgun is perfectly synced with the beat.....
Perfect

Ever noticed the tower of babel being built as you progressed through episode 2? That was a weird thing I noticed when I grew up... Also Slough of Despair is a hand holding a booger...

I still forget to notice it, even after reading about it on Doom wiki.
And the Fortress of Mystery actually pops in during the intermission.

Kinda disappointing, Duke Forever isn't that bad compared to some of the shit Civvie played.
I agree with that. Duke Forever isn't a terrible game. It's just a disappointment - waiting 12 years for a game to come out and it's just trash.
If you want a real sequel to check out, Duke Nukem Zero Hour for the N64 is actually a great game.

Make him go through Alien Trilogy for the PC.
Civvie, I'm disappointed you didn't mention the fact that Caco's have actual arseholes on their sprites.
The Pain Elementals have that same little feature.
True, but they spit out bigger arseholes so it wasn't worth mentioning in my opinion.
What
the fact behind that is that cacodemon is something that always shits (from what i heard) so possibly he defecates his entire time beacuse of his big mouth he consumes everything with XD
@@czarnakoza9697 no, it's just a pun: in Greek, "caco" means "noisy", but in Latin, it means "shit"-so you combine both meanings and you get a demon with a six-inch anal sphincter that hisses really fucking loud when it sees you.
Man, I imagine you won't see this but the fact that your videos match the music in places is HUGELY appreciated. The opening shotgun, as well as showing the different renderers to the melody of the music is mad fucking satisfying, and I NOTICE IT EVERY TIME, as well as all the other videos too where the trick is deployed.
You know, "the benevolent hyper-intellgent architect of the post-Singularity simulation we all live in John Carmack" is still my favorite Carmack joke, with Doom II's a close second
"I've spent more time with DooM, than I have my family." This shit right here, is why I keep coming back.
I appreciated House of Pain (even the damaging floor with the medkits) because I felt like it's really supposed to be a 'House of Pain.' It relies on torture and death traps more than any other level, like Jigsaw designed it.
I remember in early '93 my friend showing "Virtual Reality" and it was Wolf3D.exe (Wolfenstien 3D). I love this video. It takes me back to my Doom glory days in 1994. I appreciate the fact you insist on 256 color pallet and no spiffy fancy openGL bullshit. Awesome work! I love the commentary. Good audio.
"In here? Call of Duty."
Dude instantly beats the shit out of him.
"we didn't know how to circle strafe yet" I mean it was also literally impossible with the default controls at the time
You what, I distinctly remember having the buttons < and > bound to strafe left and right by default in Doom1. I never used them because I was an idiot but the option was there.
Not *completely* impossible... With enough determination you could learn to use DoomGuy's momentum alongside complex patterns of Left/Right with and without the Alt key.
I used to start Doom II with -nomonsters and IDCLEV to Dead Simple, then charge around for hours practising keyboard-only manoeuvres so I could beat my friend on dial-up deathmatch.
I guess it was *almost* a circle-strafe. Alongside my weird three-point turn which at the time I was convinced made me do a faster 180.
IDK why I didn't just learn to play with mouse. :-P
I'm too used to the < and > strafe controls at this point. (I beat the entire game no deaths, UV, all secret levels, no saves with those controls)
You could configure the controls even in vanilla doom 1
That is not true. th-cam.com/video/npsV5vGTujg/w-d-xo.html skip to 5:26. You could also setup wasd controls from there
Breaking news: Man too angry to die.
Explains the lives system in Eternal.
The first time I played doom it was so amzing to me I immediately ran through the whole thing again on uv
14:00 That and the fact that circle strafing with only the keyboard was an absolute nightmare.
It's easy if you set strafe keys to Z and X
I'm so glad your did DOOM! Your commentary has been full of trivia and a real breath of fresh air compared to other looks at DOOM.
My favorite thing in this video was the tidbits on the levels and the development team. I didn't know about that Tom Hall replacement bit.
Though, if you think Ultimate DOOM has "RAW" elements, then let me tell you about DOOM II.
Enemies stuck in place or walls:
Map 02 sarge by barrel
map 17 Spectre behind door among other spectres (he's the 2nd spectre starting left, closest to bars)
Wrong textures or design:
Map 05, the waste tunnel originally had a sidewalk to avoid the water, but it was moved to the ceiling. Try switching it to the floor in
GZDOOM Builder, and you'll see what I mean.
Map 07, a pillar is a complete different texture from the other 3 pillars
Map 08, poop water in the "3 portals" room is actually supposed to be red. There is a red liquid texture left over in the wall, the wall opposite of the secret wall in the pit.
Lastly is one map in particular exemplifying odd design choice:
Map 18, and that damn yellow skull key hidden in the corner of the courtyard and not in any of the mainline structures.
When you love a game this much, you start noticing the small things.

Original Doom is such a masterpiece. Well, with some exceptions with the later levels.

It's so fun to grow up old and stick with your classics. After couple of decades, your mindless rambling about cacodemons and lost souls will become more serious as your age brings the gravitas of yer message through. I love being almost 40 and still 10 in my mind.
2:40 it seems like smooyh doom wanted a fluid motion, but forgot that the fluid motion add more to the animation, which im sure the Limitations of PCs at the times had a factor in.
Nice work bro.
I found it strange that Deimos doesn't look like itself at the end of episode 2: it looks like a demonic Angel Island. We all know what happens if the demons get the master emerald or at least 1 chaos emerald: El Oscuro happens. Certainly explains why San Nicolas island is full of both rings and coins in 1994/2013. (Rings only appear in the original game alongside coins: 2013 has coins only)
The pistol accuracy trick works with the chaingun, too, and the chaingun is quite a bit better than the pistol.
