- Welcome to Dean of Doom, the show where we give grades to classic and contemporary Doom wads. Why? Because ranking things is fun. Today’s episode will be dedicated to the Plutonia Revisited Community Project, or PRCP, a megawad released in 2011 by a ragtag crowd of Final Doom enthusiasts led by perhaps the biggest Plutonia fan of them all, Josh Sealy. You might be thinking, what’s the point of a Plutonia-themed community project when we’ve already got Plutonia 2? Well, if you’re worried about redundancy, don’t be, because PRCP, while slightly messier than it’s ’08-born cousin, arguably comes closer to capturing the look and feel of the original without coming off as a needless retread. Being a community project, PRCP naturally does have some bumpy stretches, but it features more direct homages to Grandpappy Plutonia than Plut 2 did, and it’s also a little more experimental, which may excite folks who share my love of grab-baggy first playthroughs. Also, I find that I have a greater tolerance for sequels in Doom than I do in film, TV, books, and other video games, so I say bring on the Final Doom rehashes until this game kicks the bucket. I’ll play ‘em all.

I always like seeing you cover mixed bags like this, it's really fun seeing you have so many varied opinions on the same wad. :)
Also I'm super excited for the Halloween episode!
One of my first MIDI projects. This brings me back! I think like half the original tunes are by me. 😅
Great work man! I'll see you again in the Unholy Realms episode
@@MtPain27 thank you! I'll be looking forward to that one!
Interesting. I thought you had started with Reverie? Or am I mixing up dates?
@@DinnerForkTongue Reverie and PRCPb were around the same time! Same when Unholy Realms was started iirc. Arcadia Demade was the very first from what I remember.
I’m very happy with how my map performed there! As a “fun” bit of trivia, that arena that you teleport into and out of was originally meant to be part of the main map layout, for ease of flow, amongst other things, but I’d been mapping for ZDoom and limit-removing for a while and completely trashed the Vanilla limits, having never really had to worry about them in my early mapping days, so I rebuilt the whole map to fit the limits. Belial and dew were crucial elements of that project’s success, IMO!
I'm guessing that arena was _just_ enough to trigger VPO when seen from the windows?
@@DinnerForkTongue Originally it was way over, but after I’d simplified the visuals a lot, it was still too easy to get a view that broke it through the windows, yes. I often wonder why we go back to Vanilla Mapping, then it causes problems like this, but I keep doing it anyway…
I play this 2011 level 32 megawad on skulltag v0.98d anybody else?
community projects are always fire on this show!
“bring on the final doom rehashes until this game kicks the bucket.”
First, I doubt that’ll happen. Second…*looks at Plutonia 3 Going to surface*….you sure about that?
Also, this is the 3rd megawad to get 3 F's (not counting the master levels), and 2nd to get 2 dunce caps alongside hell revealed (again, putting aside master levels' 3 dunce caps). In fact, this shares 2/3 map numbers to get F's with hell revealed(map 31 and map 30), with PRCP being 1 map slot ahead of sharing the 3rd F, and both map 30's get a dunce cap because of course....this has been my first edition of "Pointless facts for DOD".
@@ASLB247 I hope to see more editions
@@kylegrefe4399 I hope to get one F grade megawad on this show.
Plutonia 3 is under development and is spearheaded by Joshy. It also stars Scotty(from Cydonia and Abandon), Manbou(buruabojunior from JPCP and Water Spirit) and darkreaver(from plutonium winds)
@@tusharmahendrakar2387 I know. I even saw a midi collab between Lee Jackson and Jimmy paddock for that wad. I’m referring to the dumpster fire that is “Plutonia 3: Going to surface” done by Silverminer.
Ah yes, the perfect show to cheer one up right after a failed quiz.
There’s always next time. Hopefully things will go better later.
You'll be able to do better next time, good luck!
I’m sure the Dean will give you some extra credit to help make up for it!
I feel that 100%.
Bro's talking to the wrong Dean💀
Whoo! What an episode to watch. Good luck with the upcoming halloween special episode! 🎃
I did not understand the "Whoo!" part before watching the video but do now. Wonderfully done antares, thank you.
Requesting Thatchers Techbase for a future spooky episode, cause it's spooky how terrible it turned out to be.
There's something so funny to me about the way you describe F-tier maps. Just hearing you start the review of MAP30 with "Dear God, what a trainwreck." gets a chuckle from me and I don't know why.
This is a wad absolutely brimming with names I love to see. I'd especially like to flag up the presence of Tatsurd-Cacocaco in the line up. JPCP was the first megawad I completed (on your recommendation!), so I've got a real soft spot for those Japanese mappers. It's always great to see people from that community project elsewhere! Maybe one day my thirst for another toooooasty map will be quenched...
Edit: Pleasantly greeting the Startan texture was one of the most brutal criticisms I've seen you give a map, I laughed out loud.
Edit 2: The changing of the name Map 21 - Asmodeus's Circle - throughout the review was a *brilliant* reference to your original Doom 2 review. Your writing chops really shined throughout this video, but that witty callback was magnificent. One sign of a great writer is the ability to make the reader feel smart while being subtle enough to give them the feeling that they figured it out themselves. Come to think of it, the same can be said of mapping. That skill is on full display in this review and it makes me very proud to share this community with you.
That's a great description of good Doom mapping I never thought of before: it makes you feel smart/able/heroic/etc without you realizing that you've been gifted those traits. Thanks for the kind words, Liam. I appreciate the confidence boost :)
@@MtPain27 You forgot Mammon's Moat
Now we just need TNT: Devolution being finished
Yeah, and mordeth E2 😂
"still not a doom god, that was attempt number 7" Love your honesty here :)
Community projects are something special on this show. I'm not sure if it's more fun to watch you polishing diamonds or mucking through the rough, but they each have their charms. I've been running through CC4 recently and have been surprised by how well it holds up to my untrained eye. Hope it gets a feature before Sunlust!
Considering that Eye of the Beholder was made by Thomas van der Velden, I gotta say that the Beholder itself kinda looks like it was a cut boss monster from Harmony.
If the next one is Perdition's Gate I swear I'll be the first in line. Can't wait to finally hear your thoughts!
Wish eventually granted c:
dean out here reviewing map21 while casually dropping half a dozen incredible names for maps and/or metal bands
I like that. "Bypass Fights Gun"
It is a real shame that Evocalvin didn't make more maps, there was a lot of potential that really shows in PRCP and I agree that Map18 gets plaudits for presenting a set up that whilst isn't directly from Plutonia, feels like something that the Casali's could come up with.
Good luck with the rest of PRCP2.
Aaah, PRCP.
Even though Plutonia 2 is the better megawad of the two, PRCP has a special place in my heart.
For the record, I totally agree on your take as regards to map 32. I went a bit overboard with Arch-Viles in that courtyard and there's a nasty bug in the Red key room (projectiles being able to go through one of the walls), showing a lack of thorough playtesting on my part. This bug is highlighted in Ancalagon's old UV Max demo.
Still proud of the map, though, on the whole, and PRIMEVAL's MIDI is a banger.
Pretty excited to see what you've cooked for us in that Halloween episode !
Was playing Lost Civilization this morning and then this showed up. Have an early weekend and feel like I’ve won the lottery now! Thank you Dean!
There's so much worthy content in his review portfolio that Dean of Doom has become my reference for new wads to play.
was literally just playing this thinking “I hope mtpain does an episode on this.” Hype!
Map 19's music is my only memory of PPCP, primarily because its used in Sunder's Map 19. But also because..
That damn ominous theme. It would be better suited in an atmospheric level.
Perfect timing. I just started PRCP2 and wondered with the Dean's take on the series would be. Thanks for another thrilling episode!
Oh thanks MtPain, just what I need after work. Two years ago I completed Plutonia for the first time (I was scum-saved it beyond belief), but I'll probably play again, along with Plutonia II and PRCP. My only complaint is both of them don't have complete original soundtracks, because hearing stock Bobby Prince tracks over 9000 times is a real doom: it's not like they are bad, but eventually you'll just get tired of hearing them.
Thank you for your hard work, MtPain!
Honestly, if I were only to look at the productions of other mappers, Plutonia looks like a hell of a hard thing to reference outside of simply remaking the exact encounters. Making a new fight that is loud, tight, somewhat efficient, and horrid on the first time through yet downright tame on repeats looks to be Herculean for this WAD, and hearing so many explanations of maps in this set boil down to “its that one section from this Plutonia map” makes me curious about the purpose of design here. I’ve always heard “more Doom is good Doom” for this community, a sentiment I don’t agree with in entirety, but even if I did, at what point does “more Doom” become “mirrored Doom”?
Great video, you’re getting really good at this game from only just getting back into it not a couple years ago.
Plutonia 2 and PRCP are my earliest memories of playing Doom custom content. this episode was a blast of nostalgia for me.
I’ve discovered this show just over two days ago while looking through decino’s linked channels on his channels page on TH-cam. It’s been my binge watch for the weekend, and I love it. I haven’t seen all pf this episode yet. Infact, I’m taking a break for the night after watching most of seasons 1 and 2 (5 episodes left to watch/finish from each season excluding graduations) and I’ve been downloading wad after wad for playing later on. You make my days easier and my Doom experience more fun.
BTW, I’d like to recommend the wad “10 Sectors”, a community mega wad with the goal of making a level using only 10 sectors. The levels are impressive, and very hard (for me at least, a 17 year old who has been playing Doom on and off for the past two years while switching between keyboard/mouse and controller.) I still think it’d be fun for you to review. Keep up the good work, and sorry for making you read this obscenely long comment. Long live Dean of Doom!
I like long comments :) Enjoy your Doom journey!
Man I really love findind out new mapwads and I really like how you do these. There's something so pleasent about your videos and the way you edit and structure them, aswell as your insignt in some maps.
You won't find me playing throught TNT from start to finish though. :p
Trust me I tried, I can't seem to get much enjoyiment out of it despite really liking some maps.
Valkiriforce released a map called Kamikaze Suicidal as a redux (of sorts) to his contribution to this. I really recommend checking that out as its a cool map.
Map18 is also my fav PRCP map, great minds i guess?! Shame evocalvin never made anything else.
Cool! I'm excited to see you review PRCP 2 eventually, Map 11, 31,32, and 24 are awesome!
Working on PRCP was a weirdly exciting experience. It was all built & tested in cca 9 months total (!) and the entire process took place in Doomworld PM boxes and e-mails (!!!) between a mapper and the tester gang. In retrospect it's surprising it ever got completed at all, not to mention the speed. It was also one of the first vanilla community projects of the revival era (post-pl2), so let's say only a few people knew what exactly they were doing re: limits and testing them. VPOs were basically proofed just by Belial by playing (and crashing) in either vanilla or choco. Props to Joshy for herding all those cats across the finish line.
The double-billed maps were the ones with most issues, and either Joshy or Belial had to step in to rescue an absolute trainwreck. In map21 KoJ created a visplane hell that Belial had to rework, but Belial was a top-tier speedrunner who *loved* tight ammo/health balance, hence the difficulty spike. Map04 was a rookie submission and was cool conceptually, but it really needed a smoothing pass from someone who knew how textures work. On the other hand map31 was so mechanically broken that Whoo gave up on it entirely and it was dragged to a semi-passable state by Joshy (with some assistance from me). It was also our decision to slap the pl2-inspired credit room there, since, you know, we had the editor open and all... We certainly couldn't add it into map29, a map that stretches vanilla limits with uncomfortable button-popping sounds. But yeah, the leftover bugs in that map were like the Australian rabbits that survived mixomatosis, it just made them stronger.
I agree that many of the maps err on the side of plagiarism, particularly Lorenzo's map, which was slated for rejection, but in the end won over another very copycatish map (that also included a sector swastika, doh). As for Xaser's maps, Helix was his first vanilla map and he was still mostly a Zdoom mapper at that point, so he struggled greatly with just having to limit himself so much, heh. I agree the map's a wild outlier, but it was too cool to not include. And I simply disagree with your dislike of Wicked Garden's bdsm themes... can I be the next British PM?
careful, we might actually take you up on that offer!
yess finally PRCP! Been waiting for this episode for so long! (if you can't tell already i'm kind of a plutonia fan lol)
Hey! I just played this one's squel a month ago. It's so cool to see how doom has evolved from some of the hottest names of last decade with some of the hottest names of this decade. Doom has come a long way, and I can't wait to see where it goes.
Awesome video too.
19:44 I dig the humility. Good stuff.
I agree with your grade about helix. I like helix but the 12:37 section when you cross the bridge and enter the building with 2 paths breaks the scenario. It should be done carefully. There is no architecture outside mainly the upper part of the entrance. Inside the room, the roof has texture, but outside is sky... B- is accurate. Sorry Xaser.
If there was an award for Best Line in a Doom Video, you would score the inaugural one with "chuck rockets at the problem until it goes away" 7:43 🤣
17:58 I think I just realized that pulling from both Sunder m05 and PL2 m11 was probably totally intentional. Both maps used that midi!
Wonderful episode! I didn't know Primeval contributed to this one until you pointed it out. Very cool, indeed.
I was watching the scythe one video and then I watched this one, it’s cool to see how far you’ve come
I love that these community projects provide epic maps sandwiched between bullshit. It makes for a varied playthtough and, in mmy opinion, helps the great maps shine even more.
No excuse for a map that breaks though, that should have been caught in playtesting and polished up, rather than released as part of the final product.
ooh, spooky episode.
I don't know why, but I really want Heretic or Hexen, though sadly I predict that's not what's coming this Halloween.
Really hope this wad and platonia 2 come to the unity port one day.
Nothing quite like an early spring evening with a cool craft beer and a new episode of Dean of Doom. 🙂 I have fond memories of playing Plutonia when I was younger since I couldn't find Doom or Doom 2 anywhere after moving and ended up coming across a Final Doom download (hey, that's what you gotta do when you're 12 and living in the third world) thinking it was some souped up version of Doom 2. I was a bit disappointed at first when I found out that wasn't the case, but learning there were twice as many levels to play made me excited, and Plutonia really stood out for its difficulty. I remember playing it with Doom95 and its broken mouse support and spectre "transparency" effect. What a glorious mess.
That being said I never tried Plutonia 2 or PRCP, so maybe this is a sign. Messy community projects like this are unequivocally intriguing as the contrasting interpretations and design philosophies still manage to form a cohesive whole, like an anachronic narrative you'd see in Pulp Fiction or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Awesome stuff as always.
is it thanks to this video that i got to this channel and i'm really enjoying the educational way to show doom.
As for the WAD, i revisited the commercial doom games after a long time on PC then went straight to this one on brutal doom, my god it gave me PTSD and i stoped playing doom for months, back then thought it was the hardest thing i've ever played, now well, seen and played other things, not even the tip of the iceberg
Another awesome upload! No other youtuber gets me as excited over a new video like Dean of DooM... It's always an excuse to roll out a nice snack and relax for a period of time!
WHOO!
WHOO!
Dean Of Doom - PSX Review ? trust me it's worth it.
Does PSX Doom have any unique maps? I remember it being a compilation of Doom, Doom II and some Final Doom maps. In general at least.
@@markbloom7434 It has unique maps, but there's not that many. It might be better to save them for a Sawed Off WADs episode instead.
Phantom Silence (map 18) visually reminds me a bit of Doom 64's secret level, the one where you're floating in the void
good stuff!!
Another fun episode! :) Looking forward to that next spooky one...
The Valedictorian was a very interesting choice in this one, and that map I recall definitely being one that is hell of mean on first play but I figured something was coming when it showed in the season trailer. Nice shout to Sunder, with the midi and platforming. Would have been cool to see evacolin do more maps.
I agree inferior overly close rehashes of original Plutonia are redundant, definitely the overly buggy secret level and turning a once sharp Slayer into a frustrating slog. And woah that IoS map looks really painful, especially when his other IoSes in CC and PL2 seem quite alright. Though by the starting and IoS textures and the Caco fight, I can predict what monster type PRCP's final boss was intended to represent...
As you know I love your reviews of the community projects the most ! Cheers.
I guess helix is like eating a bag of gummies and then hearing a crunch.
Or eating salty snacks and suddenly biting down on a piece of your own tooth. If it's half as jarring as my personal experience on this...
Whoo!
Whoo!
Fun fact: There were 37 map submissions to the PCCP and 5 were rejected including mine which was a homage to Plutonia Map 17 with a tiny bit of inspiration from HR2. I release it as a standalone wad call "Phil's Infected Compound" 😈
Chilling on a day off and a good wad rec. Plutonia is the best iwad for sure.
I tend to prefer PRCP over Plutonia 2. It has that Casali charm that I think P2 was really missing. Regardless, I don’t think either holds a candle to the Final DOOM classic.
This honestly looks perfect to me. Damn good content as usual MtPain27!
Great to see this project covered by you! I actually enjoyed it more than Plutonia 2.
For some more Plutonia-inspired fun, I’d recommend Cydonia by Scotty and AD_79. I think they got closest to matching the Casali mapping style without relying on direct Plutonia references. It’s quickly become my go-to pick-up-and-play megawad when I’m bored.
Second to this. Cydonia rules.
Joshy AND Darkwave doing Plutonia? Time to bump this to the top of my list.
always a good day for sum dean of doom
great vid as always
Your reviews always make me want to download and play them. But I actually don't have the time to play all these levels, so now my doom directory is an unorganised mess of savegames and wads....😂😂 Thanks Mount👍👍
Oh baby, another community project. Always my favourite reviews of yours.
This was an interesting look into a WAD inspired by the one IWAD I've yet to tackle. The Doom mapping bug has been biting into me more and more lately and maybe I should take inspiration from the IWADs to learn the ropes of Doom mapping. I'll probably pick this one up to play later down the line. Looking forward to what All Hallows Eve brings us this year.
Five WADs that I actually recommend checking out in the distant future are Requiem, Sunlust, Winter’s Fury, and the PSX inspired duo WADs Threshold Of Pain (Special Edition) & Threshold Of Pain II.
I remember playing this wad a while ago but dropped it around map 14. I’ve got a feeling that it references OG too much. I still prefer PL2 as it has more memorable moments. Haven’t heard about PRCP 2 at all. Would like to see an episode on it.
Also - spoooky episode! Yay!
PRCP came out just this year, and fairly recently. Which explains why you probably have not heard of it.
I played PRCP a tad after playing Sunlust, and it was a nice refreshment. I remember more or less shutting my brain down to play it, and enjoying the experience as a whole, but that was in continuous play and I distinctly remember noclipping a bunch in map 31 for obvious reasons (that F is very well deserved). In the end, this is, well, a community megawad through and through - a few highs, plenty of lows, but there's fun to be had in the grabbag aspect of it.
I feel like I should spotlight Xaser for a bit. From all the maps of his that I've played, he seems to struggle to fit his mapping in community projects. He clearly has the basics down pat, has great vision of what he wants to achieve, and can make some nice mean midi tunes, but from what I've played of his stuff he sometimes mixes up clunkiness with cleverness, and obsesses with grandiosity. I'd like to see him do a wad by himself, composed entirely of speedmaps, like Jimmy did with Deathless.
I just finished this WAD about 2 months ago. Now on PCRP 2. Can't wait for the review!
Edit : I liked this WAD a lot more than you did, but all reviews were fair and just. I think because I haven't played the original Plutonia the ripoffs aren't quite as painful as they would be to a fan.
I accidentally made the Arch-Vile infight with the Cyberdemon in Rules of Death (M08), and though I didn't want to waste my time waiting for it to kill the cybie, I found this situation so hilarious that I didn't waste my ammo on them and left with less than 100% kills.
I actually really enjoyed Ruined Kingdom. I liked the Realm references, though truth be said, I don't think the source material itself is bad, either (in my eyes, Plutonia Maps 01-11, coupled with 15 and 31-32, comprise the essence of that megawad). This was a funny little adventure, and god, the eerie, sombre, bleak midi of Ruined Kingdom is just wonderful.
Had extremely hard time speedrunning the ending of this wad.
Good stuff, I have a distinct memory of spending far too long on map 15 in this wad. There's a sequel to this now as well!
hah! I was looking for wads to play and decided on plutonia 2 and while at it downloaded both community projects, so this upload is quite fitting.
That's crazy,, yesterday , I was just at work throwing trees into a chipper...debating on whether or not to get this and it's sequel. Now I HAVE to!
PRCP! Now this is a personal favorite for me. Funny enough, PRCP and Plutonia 2 were among the first wads I downloaded as a teen like Scythe so I've kept them close to my heart and, of them, PRCP is a megawad that has a lot more polish to it vs Plutonia 2.
The pacing of the maps and the action does bite harder though a few maps such as Cyberdemon Vertigo are dizzying and somewhat crass, and I feel the last map's boss is far weaker than Plutonia 2's "The Gatewatcher" but for all between the two, PRCP is almost the closest to a sequel to Plutonia 2 as we'll see. *Edit, PRCP's custom tracks such as Map01's music is where I knew this would be a treat to enjoy first time I downloaded it
Man, I love Plutonia so much. I think I'll play this with a cool mod though.
Hey, the Dean enjoyed a Pcorf map! Loved the video, never played the wad but it sure looks interesting. I'm a fan Pcorf generally, so that's at least worth checking. It's a shame T.V.'s map was so awful, I love Thomas van der Velden's work, and he has a good record with Icon of Sin maps - a great record in fact. Couldn't imagine PL2 or CC1 without him.
Great review, Dean! Looking forward to that Halloween episode. :)
If you don't mind a recommendation being thrown your way, I think you'd enjoy reviewing Super MAYhem '17 on this show. It's a box-of-chocolates community project with a fun Super Mario theme, with lots of short, punchy, and creative Boom maps. My first playthrough has been a fun time for how mixed of a bag it is, and I think it'd make for a really fun episode!
oh man I should prepare myself for my D grade lmao
I remember really liking MAYhem '17! I should revisit that one sometime.
@@TristanClarkMusic Aw, I really liked your map, though! It does a good job keeping you moving forward and that one spicy ambush is fun to take apart.
One thing that PRCP does better than PL2 sometimes is getting the inspiration and wears it proudly, and it even gets cues FROM PL2. So is the perfect sequel
you should also try cydonia, if you haven't already
As Decino showed, Cyriak made a new .WAD I think just named "Overboard". Think you could cover it at some point, Mt. Pain, or are you already planning it?
It apparently has a New Game + mode (to make up for the wad's short level count,) so if the base levels aren't enough for a full episode... well, good luck.
Turns out Overboard was a good fit for Sawed Off WADs.
We need more Plutonia enspired map packs. I love Plutonia
I need 30+ minutes of just Whoos
Hearing you say "Plut" a few times over this wad makes me sad that Plutonia 2 wasnt called Plutwonia 😔
I keep having to rewatch this because I keep getting distracted mid video lol.
Awesome review, you gotta talk about overboard by mouldy! Have you played it yet?
It's fun to see how community projects pan out compared to other wads out there. Yea, sure, there'll be the maps you'll dread playing, but that's kinda what to expect out of a CP. New and experienced mappers alike participate in projects like these, and you really never know what you're gonna get. But I don't think it's the end product of a CP that matters. Not anymore, at least.
I believe the point of a community project was, and still is, for anyone of any skill and talent to come together and make something, and to have fun doing it. Quality control is important, yes, but at the end of the day you can't expect a tree to grow from a seed overnight. It takes time, effort, and the will of god to get to the sort of talent as some of the bigger names in Doom mapping. I should know. I'm still at that sapling stage.
Anyways, fun vid. I wonder what's next on the table for DoD...?
Last time I was this early I had to pay child support...
RIP ☠️

Your innocence is to be preserved.
Always a great day when there's a new Dean of Doom. Interesting that this wad uses pain elementals, you never mentioned that Plutonia doesn't have any pain elementals (apart from on the maps that have them).
What?
Try again, please. Coherently this time.
LOL
But Plutonia has 63 Pain Elementals on UV...
"Plutonia doesn't have any pain elementals (apart from on the maps that have them)."
so they do have pain elementals
Map #19 (Venom) is one of the few Doom maps that I just gave up on. I'm not a great player, but throughout the level, the secrets were generally so difficult that it removed a lot of the joy of playing.
Hell yeah, I was wondering if you were ever going to review this WAD.
Play NDCP's Map 30 and decide if that's actually worthy competition.
New Doom Community Project,
22:34 my name when I go into incognito mode.
The worst Icon of Sin? That's a accomplishment
This wad will always be interesting to me
Good review, makes me wonder what you would think of the sequel, which is less focused on emulating Plutonia, and is more like each mappers individual interpretation of it, through their style.
nice "go 2 it" reference in the intro ha
You gotta do Plutonia: Revisited Community Project 2 one day.
Good stuff! I NEED to recommend DBP51 Deadly Ritual, I just played it through, it's a bit easy but an absolutely gorgeous adventure set themed around Aztec ruins, the 7th map The Offering is easily one of the most perfect maps I've played. Big recommend, check it out when you get chance I'm positive it will be up your alley! I'm having an ace time working through the DBP sets
I feel like you may have underleveled the difficulty of Helix a little, it's the only map (apart from 32 and 30) that I couldn't single segment. Those last few fights are just plain evil in a single segment run.
yooo new episode just after i got done watching all the others
You should totally review the Plutonia 3 jokewad for next april fools.
Really glad u covered this one. One thing to note to that awful map 30 is that there is a couple commander keens behind the mastermind that will kill the two cybers on the tower. im sure you already know that, and to be fair it doesnt make it any better. Because that means u still have to constantly go back and annoyingly hit that lift button and sprint back in case u dont kill it first bfg shot and she goes back up. Also I think u should look into PRCP 2 which came out this year and has much more variety and doesnt go over the plutonia remake level crutch. maps to consider playing in PRCP would be map 7,8 23,27,28, 29, and eternal's map11. and i hope to see u use DSDA doom more. i love gzdoom but i ditched saving for rewind scumming and its a better thing imo for replaying and practicing set piece fights and combat puzzles
