Cacowards 2015 (Doom 2) (9 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by Badb0y @ 10:27 CST, 11 December 2015 - iMsg

Doom 1 got 22 years old, on december 10th (doomwiki). Over this weekend Bethesda does a price cut on the Doom franchise in steam and merchandise in the bethstore.

Time for the Cacowards 2015!
Well this is like the Oscar show for the Doom Classic community, where the best custom Doom 2 maps & mods get awarded. Like every year, it is worthwhile to play these diamonds, because they look out from the crowd of new content. Congratulations to the nominated. doomworld starts with a quick summary what has happened in the Doom community this year. I would like to push you all in a direction, maps which i like. Sadly i haven't played much of the newer maps this year yet. But the winner descriptions are pretty clear, so choose the ones you like.

I'm in the hope that Doom Radio does a podcast in the future about the Cacowards. Jehar @ tastyspleen will do a special this sunday over twitch.

Cacowards 2015 (2 comments)

( News: Gaming)

Posted by mdv @ 11:28 CST, 10 December 2015 - iMsg

"Doom is now twenty-two years old and shows no sign of slowing down. Gameplay modders, map authors, musicians, coders, and more continue to trickle in to an aged yet vibrant community. It's the best damn custom content community out there, and I'm not just counting Doomworld. If you're interacting with Doom in almost any capacity, I'd like to thank you for keeping the spirit alive, and for giving me a reason to stay on and help author the twelfth annual Cacowards. Along with the rest of the crew, we called up TerminusEst13, because us claiming any sort of authoritative knowledge about the Doom gameplay mod scene would be a statement made out of boundless egotism... not that we're that much more qualified to speak of everything else.

One of the coolest things to happen this year didn't have anything to do with Doom directly, but it's a Doom engine game, and it involved a few very cool Doom community members. Kaiser, Quasar, and ptoing helped to kick this season off with the re-release of Strife called the Veteran Edition, a game that used to be one of the poster children for cases against abandonware. While there were a number of additions like dynamic lighting and bloom, not to mention a secret quest, the original IWAD is still distributed in the package for historical sticklers. Perhaps, some day, we'll see some sort of re-release of Perdition's Gate and Hell to Pay?

That isn't the only white whale that the community managed to slay, though. 2015 also saw the release of the mythical GPL-compliant iteration of GZDoom, codename GLOOME, opening up the highly modified id Tech 1 engine as a potential base for indie developers. Alternatively, if GLOOME so offends you, there's plain ol' GZDoom-GPL. I also joked about Erik Alm coming back to the community, but it looks like the Doomworld Megawad Club's playthrough of Scythe 2 was just the ritual required to get him to poke his head back in. Another prediction I made was that 2015 was going to be a real blood tornado, and while it's great to have a year that's chock full of fantastic releases to play, that doesn't make it any easier. Of the four years I've been writing the Cacowards, this has been by far the hardest. Hearts will be broken; I assure you that it hurt us more to make them than it will hurt you to read them.

Ty Halderman was an inarguable essential pillar of the community, a fixture so taken for granted that his absence was only felt when it became clear that the /idgames archives were not being updated with his usual clockwork regularity. It was a practice he continued even after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, until he could literally Do No More. He passed away, surrounded by his family, on July 31st. May he rest in peace."

Really not finished properly but I feel it's good/ok and worth uploading nonetheless for posterity. Highlights from many games of Quake Live. Lost a few files so uploading as this. Had to free up disk space and was gonna move on to something else but watched this back and thought it was kinda nice. At least it's seen not just by me. Remembering PQL CTF over 2014/2015 on MissRocketBunny (FairyCake) and Kwizach servers. Sorry I didn't finish it.
