That super shotgun DOES seem overpowered. Is the single-barrel still better at long range or is there just no reason to ever use it?

I just checked the .txt file that came with it and the insides of the .wad itself; the SSG fires and refires just as fast as it did in Doom 2 and the pellet spread and damage is the same.

details about the game's inner workings: The regular shotgun belches out seven pellets with a horizontal spread value of 5.6 and no vertical spread, which means precisely nothing to most people but suffice to say it's enough to pick something off at fifty yards (making it somehow more realistic than shotguns in newer games).

Meanwhile, the SSG uses two shells and has a horizontal spread of 11.2 and a vertical of 7.1 (making firing at anything at a distance with it a joke), but tosses out twenty pellets.  Furthermore, due to how the reload animation works you can kind of skip a few frames by holding the fire button down.  So you've got something that uses twice the ammunition, fires at about two-thirds the speed and tosses the shots across an area twice as wide and 1.25 times as high as the normal shotgun's spread but deals three times the damage.  Demons and spectres go down with one hit, cacos pop in two, Barons of Hell die in six (five if you're lucky) and even though I can't think of any off the top of my head there's been .wads that put you up against a Cyberdemon with fifty shells and lemme tell you, that's more than a fair fight.

So yeah, the SSG is a murderstick (and any changes to it are entirely cosmetic), but the regular shotgun is still better for groups of weak targets and anything at range.  Strangely enough, this game still has better weapon balance than a lot of the other games I've seen, but that's a novel in the making right there.

MAP08 - 11.  This would've gone into MAP12 but Fraps completely cock-blocked me and decided enough was enough about two or three minutes into the stage, right when I was talking about how Johnathan Blow and every indie game designer who ever made one of those waste-of-bandwidth "sadlets" are pompous postmodern pseudointellectuals more concerned with presenting themselves as incredible artists proving that games can be art than with making sure that games are games, i.e. fun diversions that don't involve some jackass jerking off on your face for two hours.

PLEASE! Turn this features to:

SmartAim Only Monsters Bloodtype Sprites (or Sprites and Particles)

in OPTIONS>DISPLAY OPTIONS menu. Otherwise you can type commands

sv_smartaim 3 cl_bloodtype 0 (or 1)

in game console. This way new blood will be shown everywhere it should be shown, and weapons won't aim at shootable decorations if there are monsters present. Now about the mod:

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, READ THIS FILE FOR INSTRUCTIONS! DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT BUGS UNLESS YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! If you can't follow the instructions, I can't help you.

AUTOAIMING ON GIBS AND DEBRIS IS NOT A BUG! IF YOU USE AUTOAIM, ENTER sv_smartaim 3 IN THE CONSOLE, AND YOU WON'T BE AUTOAIMING AT ANYTHING BUT MONSTERS!

what the fuck is this BULLSHIT

[Frocto]

You made it to the halfway point without dying once. Nice work.

[Koah]

what the fuck is this BULLSHIT

GETTING SHIT TO WORK FOR DRUNKEN BOONERS AND COLONIALS (DRUNK OR OTHERWISE):

1) Download a source port like GZDoom and unzip it into whatever folder Doom and/or Doom II is in.  There's system requirements but unless you've got a shitty little beater of a computer that can't even handle DirectX 9.0 you'll be fine.

2) Now go to the command line and run that shit like so:



BROTIP: The "-file" parameter tells the game to load whatever files are listed after it.  No, there's no mod manager bullshit here; this is how we did things back in 1996.  It's a small price to pay when you consider that the game's as durable as an AK-47 duct taped to a Game Boy.

3) It should bring up a menu showing what game .wad files are there, so pick whatever one you've got installed or want to play.  For the purposes of this argument we're using Doom II.

4) The game should load and drop you at the title screen.  If it doesn't, YOU FUCKED UP.  Do I really need to install this on my computer, zip it up and Rapidshare it to you?  Too fucking bad, you're on your own.  Go back to step 1 and figure out what you did wrong.

5) Go into the options menu and spend a couple minutes fucking with everything.  Make sure that the "blood type" in Display Options is set to "Sprites & Particles" like the nice man in the .txt file said.

6) Press tilde.  That's the "~" key by default.  When the console drops down type in "sv_smartaim 3" and press Enter.  Congratulations, now when you're fighting an imp and an aggressive-looking frangible lamppost your rockets will head towards the imp!

7) New game, difficulty, &c &c &c.

PS: Doom II has 32 levels.  I won't be halfway done until the start of MAP32, technically.

Why the fuck is it called a Sadlet again?

[Niku]

Because Zaratustra is a true hero.

Also, I want a weekly OHakubi podcast of him ranting about any given topic until he runs out of breath.

jesus christ that noise that chainsawing lost souls makes is beyond terrible.


and yes i see the irony in that statement.

[SCD]

Thanks to Ohax, I have been inspired to dl doom 2 and try to emulate it on an eee running xandros in order to relive the nostalgia.

[Frocto]

Hak, it wasn't that I didn't understand what it said, it was more a reference to how much it talks about turning on auto-aim!

I should make my posts a bit more clear, since this misunderstandings seem to be common!

FUCK YOU OHAKUBI I WAS JUST JOKING YOU NERD

I was insufficiently enraged for this and the next few videos but fuck if I'm going to redo them.

Fuck if I remember what was going on here but apparently I was pissed off at pubescent girls on the Internet.  More than usual, that is.

The "Re: Fuck You, I'm Playing Doom II" drinking game:

Take a shot every time Hakubi refers to something actually happening in the LP
Take a shot every time Hakubi says something exceptionally offensive and then silently smoulders in rage for the next few minutes

Also, is that thing about Tycho being impotent true, because HOLY FUCK if so

[Koah]

That's more of a "fuck me, I can't think of anything to say, hopefully they'll be distracted by the gunfire and shooting shit there's nothing to shoot c'mon think think think" moment.  Alternately, a "I'm nodding smugly and giving you a 'that's right, I went there' look but you can't see it because the Internet is in the way' look."  Still, booze is booze.

Also, is that thing about Tycho being impotent true, because HOLY FUCK if so

Not sure if it's impotence but there's some sort of "can't have sex" shit going that isn't just white knight bullshit on Piro's part.  Fred left, a while later Largo was going to shack up with that one chick but nothing came () of it.  Had something to do with him not being able to get it up, but this is all second-hand information.
