Here's a video in the style of our game that communicates pretty well the difference between good and bad lighting for a scene.

This player winds up rage-quitting one of my favorite wads! The visuals are simple and strictly 1990s (because that's when it was made), but the gameplay is varied, fun with the occasional nasty surprise thrown in (like teleporting you right into the middle of a room full of monsters), and it has a kick-ass soundtrack.

 

That part with the Cyberdemon at the end of the video is especially tough. You have two choices, fight him down below, suicide because there's no cover (never succeeded at that one myself, or weave in and out in front of the window up top and take pot-shots at him whilst trying not to get pasted by his rockets. This is Doom, after all, so move, move, move! Running away is not an option, because he blocks the teleporter to exit the level, and even if his rockets don't get you while you're navigating the glorified tightrope that leads to the teleporter, he's not likely to let you in.

The interviewer looks like a movie scientist from Independence Day or other movies. Pretty cool answers from the computer.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Nokia 3310 Destruction Test - Extreme 900 Feet Drop Test!

After the test, although with the screen broken and the housing split, it was still possible to make and receive calls.
 

Same with iPhone, falling 2 fts from the desk.

So... Why DID this thing fail? It looks like they got everything right while designing it. The only thing they left out, was batteries, which was probably not very practical while driving a CRT. And if you think 23 pounds was heavy, imagine what it would be if there were batteries inside. lol

Somehow I missed this mod. Hilarious and creative.

The plot is as follows. The main villain of the original Shadow Warrior game, Zilla, has caused so much trouble that MI6 (James Bond) is after him now. But the Protagonist of the original Shadow Warrior game (Lo Wang) doesn't take kindly to this, because after all, taking Zilla down is his thing. So, Lo Wang captures and imprisons Bond, and takes his place.

Some parts of this WAD are artistically an A++ in terms of music and level design. Others suffer from too much copy/paste architecture. The volcano level is especially a treat. BTW I break the rules of most of the musicians and (instead of using the Roland GS soundfont that they would expect/tell you to, use the following one). Because in most cases, it sounds a hundred times better.

Basically, instead of midi files sounding like they are being played on a cheap little keyboard, it sounds like a huge, expensive organ. Of course you pay for it in terms of memory use. 240MB vs 6MB for the standard soundfont that everybody uses, but on a modern computer, who cares?

There are much bigger soundfonts than this one floating around, but I personally would not use them, because in my testing they didn't sound any better, actually worse, than this one. All of the instrument sounds have been perfectly balanced with each other in terms of volume and quality in this soundfont, it was obviously put together by a professional.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
