There Is No Place Like DOOM For The Holidays

For the first time in what feels like an eternity I did the impossible and played DOOM… ON TWITCH! I streamed for an hour and a half, talked to a couple of friends that I haven’t spoken with in a long time. It was nice and chill. 8) I’m not sure if I’ll continue to stream, or if this will be a one off until I decide to stream again in a few years… but one way or another there is a chance. I had a lot of fun. 😀

My Weekend Starts Early!

Ah, Resonite… Remember when I spent just about every single day blogging about it because I kept finding new things throughout its worlds? What happened? Oh, right… Lots of other games. We returned to it tonight to explore some holiday maps! Then we ended the night watching YouTube videos in the Crab Space Nebula. It’s a great way to kick off my three day weekend! For the next few days the world is my oyster… or something that resembles one, why? I don’t know.

Tidings of Discomfort and Pain

Another evening of checking out Christmas DOOM Wads. This one was kinda “meh”. Not much of a challenge, had trollish looking graphics for the doors and lifts…  BUT! It did have a room dedicated to squeezing demons to death. Also you get to fight a child’s drawing of Santa!

All I can really say is that it was an experience. I’m still trying to figure out what kind of experience, but I know for certain that it is one.

Seasons Beatings

It’s December! Time to wreck the halls and enjoy some holiday themed games and mods. DOOM was always a special game that I remember from this time of year when I was a kid. It originally released on the 10th of December all the way back in 1993, when a little Overlord would eventually lay their hands on the original Shareware disc and would continue to play DOOM in one form or another for decades to come!

I did a quick search for Christmas themed wads for DOOM, and the first thing my eyes landed on was 12 Days of Doommas. A Megawad packed with 12 insane levels that pack multiple decked out demons into crammed spaces where you will probably die… a lot. The Imps wear Santa Hats, the Cacodemons and Pain Elementals take on the form of tree ornaments, and you share your Christmas cheer by beating against demons with a candy cane when you run out of ammo. Truly a holiday miracle!… probably.

Some of these visuals could make for some nice retro inspired Christmas cards to send around! 😛 Unfortunately I don’t know many people that would appreciate the demonic visuals.

Another Game Off The List

It finally happened. I reached the end of Horizon Zero Dawn! It was a fun journey with a story as rich as the games graphics. I’m glad Sony made this available for PC players. I’m going to give this a glowing recommendation when I’m capable of not being sleepy. Next time I play, it’ll be for NG+. Until then, the Forbidden West is next on the Horizon.

Riders High: Palworld

Went paling around tonight to kick off the weekend! This was probably our most crashiest playthrough, but after the first few crashes things seemed to stabilize. We caught a few more pals, killed some for leather… and as a means of survival. Will have to science out why the crashes occur. There was an update that may have made a mod or two unstable.

Late Night Open Thread

Too tired to write anything of note. It’s been an exhausting last couple of days, but after tomorrow I can get some proper rest. I might have to treat myself to some more Ruby Sunrise. 🙂 That recipe was so good that I wouldn’t mind treating myself to it again! Maybe I’ll even have time to make some Blue Light Pudding for dessert!

Open Thread!

Some Like It Hot

Yesterday Ex-Zodiac received an update that introduces their 10th level: Caldera! I did two runs in it but haven’t found the hidden data chip. This is definitely a harder world, and it will take some practice to conquer. I might practice on my Steam Deck during lunch tomorrow if I don’t get sucked into what may or may not be one of the metroidvanias I need to finish. :v
