Doomed Worlds - Interval 32c

IWAD: Plutonia 2 (2008) a 32-level megawad for The Plutonia Experiment. Compatibility: Vanilla Screenshots: Used Nugget Doom source port My thoughts: Plutonia 2 is mostly decent, but honestly not all that great. I loved it the last time I played, but upon returning to it I can't help but notice the cracks and the unstable foundation this PWAD was built upon. Five years in development hell, with often multiple mappers working on each level, and a general lack of focus, with an at times grotesque disregard for the Plutonia format outside of aesthetics. Way too long (the Plutonia IWAD can be beaten in 4 hours) with too many monsters on numerous maps that also take too long to finish averaging 30 minutes or more to complete. It definitely has its cool moments, and the early to mid-ish game is pretty enjoyable, if evident that things aren't really very Casali-like, but as the end (slowly) draws near it transforms into a fairly frustrating mess. Worth playing and recording for the blog, but it'll be my last hurrah with it, there are better avenues to pursue when it comes to Doom II megawads. Here's hoping Plutonia Revisited aged better, so stay tuned. 2.5 Cacos outta 5

hi

happy birthday to me

I decided to release a small update for Improvisation. Mostly does a bunch of fixes, a few new altfires, and inventory items! I went ahead and made a doomworld thread on it too.

Comforting Your Sorrows

Damien Darhk x reader

Prompt- “Will we still be here tomorrow?”

Warnings- Self-doubt, Use of daddy, Allusions to sex, Non-gendered but reader is called kitten, Codependency, Self-deprecation, Separation anxiety, A bit of amnesia

Dark purple silk sheets and heavy soft blankets were always a comforting feeling. Laying in Damien’s bed, pretending like this was where we should be. However, right now, I’m terrified. I know they changed things, him and his team, I just don’t know how much. I���m waiting for his words to shoo me away or for him to leave with the knowledge that we won’t see each other till our next “session”.

You’d never realize he was a murderer. Not at least until his words or gaze landed on you. His hands are always soft. Only a few seconds and I miss them on my sides, on my face. I miss him close to me.I can’t bear to see him leave… I won’t have a choice. We’ll have to part. Just like always.

Golden light flickers around the room, but despite the romantic, perfect, atmosphere I just want the comfort of him and nothing else. My silly dreams don’t add up with reality, but it matches the scene almost perfectly.

I turn a bit to search for him. It was a sight hard to miss. White light reabsorbing the yellow. Short white hair on top of a body on display covered by only a pair of pants. A pair of brilliant blue eyes look through the mirror as he turns towards me. He really looks like a painting

I lay my head on the pillow rather than my hand and send a sweet tired smile to him. I can only hope my sadness doesn’t leak through.

Of course, I can tell it does when his own smirk turns upside down.

“What’s wrong kitten?”

Damien sits down cupping my face. I lean in. I don’t want to tell him. It’s so pathetic. I just want it to be perfect…

“Come on now, tell daddy what’s wrong. Hmm?” He maneuvered us around so I now sit in his lap. I love being held by him… I lean into him and take a deep breath.

“Will we still be here tomorrow?”

It came out louder than I wanted. It was just a whisper, but I wish I’d said nothing at all. I couldn’t help but tense at myself. I looked up to his eyes and he looked so confused and sad.

“I just mean… You- I- We. We- We always- always split a bit after um uh everything,” I feel so stupid. “I don’t wanna be selfish y’know and I just think maybe we could not well maybe if you want because you know your thoughts and feelings like really matter to me I just don’t I- I really don’t wanna I just- I don’t wanna keep- I just want to stay with you.”

God, why was that so hard? Am I shaking? Oh god! He’s just looking at me.I try to wiggle out of his lap.

“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said anything really it’s just stupid right?! I mean why would we why would-” Before I could finish Damien pulls me back into him and starts petting my hair.

“I think we have had very poor communication recently.” Damien takes my head and turns me to face him. “I should have relayed all the new rules that we’ve made, and you,” He accentuates by tapping my nose. “Should have told me you wanted to stay longer… What have I told you about talking baby? Hmm? It’s that you have to tell me what you’re thinking. Though it would be a very useful skill, I can't read your thoughts, kitten.”

I played with his and my hands, keeping my eyes on them the whole time. I just want us to be happy. Together. “I just- I just wanna be with daddy…” It felt silly to admit. I just want him.

He lays back pulling me with him. “You have me baby. We don’t have to be apart anymore.”

We what?

“What about all of the- stuff?” What even was in the way of us staying together anyways?

“It’s all been dealt with. Daddy took care of all of it.” Damien says while running his hands through my hair.

I closed my eyes. “So I can stay.” I look up at him and he smiles.

“My sweet little kitten, you can stay with daddy for as long as you want.”

suddenly reminded of how mick stayed with the legends in s2 even while they kind of all treated him like shit and made jokes about him being a stupid meathead with brain damage (like he didn't literally go through psychological torture and brainwashing at the hands of the time masters) and none of them respected him, let alone liked him, and yet he stayed because len was dead and he literally had no one else....

#like. he was kinda justified in turning on them honestly #doomworld len punched him in the face and called him a dog and he still decided that was better than the way the legends treated him :/ #justice for mick rory #i know he got it. kinda. but damn #we used to talk about this all the time but it's been years since i even thought about it. now im cross

i have to say this now or i never will. it's so funny that invasion made it canon who the president of the flash was. but then legends s3 (and s5!) were like. ah yes sara's met the president. president Barack Obama

#alli says shit #thawne made trump president in doomworld n then they accidentally made obama override the arrowverse president #i truly don't care enough to take it seriously i just think it's entertaining

[cactus-chowder]

Does anyone here like playing/creating custom classic DOOM maps?? I started working on one & I would be happy to share it when I'm done

#tried joining the doomworld forums but ran into a bug where they don't send out the confirmation email :( #I haven't actually played a lot of custom maps myself but I like watching youtubers play them #the game itself is so ancient but it's incredibly cool to see the classic DOOM fandom persist as a makerspace

Two Pretty Lies MasterList

Damien Darhk x fem!reader, Eobard Thawne x fem!reader

Summary-The reader was a hero called in by the Legends to help keep the Legion of Doom from making Doomworld. Well, they failed and Doomworld happened. The only problem is that both Damien Darhk and Eobard Thawne had developed “affections”/obsession for the girl. Rather than giving her a dreadful fate they put her the path she would have gone if she never got her powers. Turns out the ex-hero experiences nothing but pain in this new reality. Eobard and Damien didn’t approve of this life for the reader so they decided to take her in, to give her a better life, with them.

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2004): Doomworld Forums 3

Mockaward was the award given to the WAD that was the funniest WAD of the year. It was named after Mockery, the 1998 map/unfinished WAD that made fun of beginners’ mistakes in map-making. This award lasted up to 2016, and in Cacowards 2017 it was replaced with the Machaward for the Most creative, unusual, or artistically compelling project of the year (as said by Doomworld).

Today, we will be taking a look at the first WAD that earned this award.

Br2: Doomworld Forums 3

Main author(s): Anonymous (supposedly Linguica)

Release date: January 13th, 2004 (Database upload)

Version played: ???

Required port compatibility: ZDoom

Levels: 1.5/2 (intro and the main level)

Doomworld Forums 3 is the final installment of the Joke WAD trilogy related to Doomworld itself. Its purpose (along with the two previous installments) was to be a parody of the community on their forums. It’s also a reenactment of what happened on the Newdoom forums.

Before playing DWF3, the closest thing to these WADs that I encountered was the cameo in MassMouth 2 when I was playing it.

Now, while the author of all three WADs is written as Anonymous, according to Linguica (April 2006), it was Cyb that made the first two installments while he created the last one (with some help from Cyb) (==>).

Did this WAD tickle my funny bone? Well, let’s find out.

The plot – You are an admin of DW forums and you rule it with an iron fist. Its moderators don’t like you so they dethrone you, thinking that they also killed you. You survived. Now you must take the DW forums back, and destroy Newdoom once and for all.

DWF3 looks rather simple most of the time. The first third of the main map looks really good. These cylinder-looking things in the background that supposedly represent forum sections look incredible. I really like how when you come back to the DW forums, everything around you disappears to reveal the actual content behind it. After this section, it all becomes something that feels like the baby’s first WAD. But I feel like it was intentional since the main goal of DWF3 wasn’t looking amazing. I’ll say though, that I kind of like how the Newdoom forums look. My bias towards ancient-looking stuff was popping out at that moment.

Music changing itself while playing is a plus. Although I really hate how some of the explosions were too loud. It pisses me off.

Now I’ll try to describe every section of the WAD since each one offers something different.

This WAD is made out of two levels. Although I think it’s more like one and a half of a level though since the first map isn’t even a map. It’s an intro cutscene. This cutscene is basically a walking parody of Max Payne's cutscenes, shown like it was a comic book in an overdramatized style (when it comes to Doom). And if you actually want to immediately get into some action, don’t worry. You can skip the intro by pressing the use key.

You actually start out at the gates of DW forums where you take them back from some of the mods that beat you up.

After obtaining the password to Wmull’s account (which is actually blue skull), you end up somewhere that might as well be the moderators’ headquarters. There, you must convince at least one of them to help bring Newdoom down. Be warned though: there is a dialogue with a slur that rhymes with baguette (look, it was 2004, okay?! Internet was a bigger Wild West back then).

After finally acquiring some help (AKA one dude), you finally arrive at Newdoom forums. Here you must lead your brain-dead meat shield to each section to draw the users’ attention to him. You can attack them yourself if you feel impatient. After doing that you will fight the final boss of the WAD (I’ll get to that later).

Since this WAD earned Mockaward, it would be good to talk further about how much it was funny to me, right? And the answer is... It really wasn’t.

You see the problem with DWF3 is that it was made for people who were part of the titular forums during that time or even before. And since I was just an eight years old brat back then who didn’t even have an Internet connection in his house, I felt next to nothing.

Three things that were closest to being funny were:

1. The intro cutscene for acting like it was straight out of the Max Payne game (as I said before).

2. One of the Revenants in DW Forums being a caricature of Jacob Kruse, the main man behind RTC-3057 (which’s demo I reviewed before).

and...

3. One of the moderators that I tried to recruit being yellow Cyberdemon (called Tobester) that literally combusted because he has a weak Internet connection (memories of me and my first modem are coming out).

Other than those, It wasn’t really that much. Just your typical, Internet reference humor of its time.

At least the dialogue during the cutscenes didn’t really feel painful to me. Keeping it all in the tone of Max Payne was a good idea in my opinion (at least the protagonist’s inner thoughts).

Without counting the final boss, this WAD is easy. If you have at least some experience fighting Doom enemies, you won’t have that much of a problem killing them. Even the section in Newdoom that has loads of hitscanners is easy since most of the enemies are focused on Deathzor.

As I mentioned earlier, it only gets hard when you reach the final boss of DWF3. And it’s the worst part of the WAD since it’s yet another Icon of Sin fight. But instead of shoving rockets up Wmull’s brain, you have to wait until his energy depletes (AKA a few minutes).

-_- sigh

At least you get a backup from DW forums’ members when the final boss has around 85% of his remaining energy.

This fight can be completed without cheating, but let me ask you: Is it worth it with an Icon of Son type of fight?

The final battle also has a bug, where the portal to DW forums is broken. It was supposed to look like this in the cutscene:

And instead, it ended up showing you the sky texture:

I’ve read somewhere that it happens if you touch grass in the area surrounding the ruins of Newdoom, the text file says that it happens after a while. In my case, it happened immediately as I got my control back (probably due to the later (G)ZDoom versions).

And that was Doomworld Forums 3. It was fun until the final boss. Was it funny? Well... The Max Payne-like dialogue definitely helped but aside from a few moments, I felt nothing. This is definitely something that I can only recommend for the Old Guard of the Doomworld forums since they probably know the events that inspired this WAD. As for other people, download something else.

And that’s basically all for the Bronze League of 2004 WADs. I’ll now take a break from reviewing for like two days. And then I’ll start taking a look at the runner-ups and the honorable mention of 2004.

I’ll see you all next time.

Bye!

also, the most obvious joke about myhouse.wad most people from outside the doom community don't get is that for literal decades, people have been trying to recreate their own houses within the doom engine, typically uploading them to doomworld or the idgames archive as "my house". like seriously, there's hundreds of these things and they're all pretty mediocre

then along comes veddge, who uploads the innocuous myhouse.wad to doomworld, and it's the standout liminal horror experience of the entire year
