Doom Eternal

My Mic Stand For a Demon

by

Happy Valentines Day! I don’t have anyone to really celebrate it with, but a friend and I did a surprise gift exchange. I upgraded my mic stand over the weekend, and offered him my old one.

It isn’t even that old either! I just needed something tall that can sit on the ground, giving me more room on my desk for other things. It just needed a small bit of cleanup and it was ret-2-go. I brought it to work today and he surprised me with my own pet pinky demon!

Haven’t decided what to name it yet… Pinky seems too obvious.

It was definitely a kind gesture… I’ll have to get him back when his birthday rolls around, just a couple months away. That’ll give me time to fabricate my plans for a proper giftvengeance. 😛

I Can Game Again Yaaaaaaaaay

Just Another Day At Work…

Took some of my aggression out in DOOM Eternal tonight. It seemed like a good way to enjoy myself, even if I was getting my ass handed to me about every five minutes. I’m playing on Hurt Me Plenty mode, and it’s actually hard compared to DOOM 2016. But I am making it through different sections, slowly but surely. The last time I played Eternal it was back in November; I wonder how long before I play it again? 😛 It’s time to move onto a different game. I’m not sure which one yet, but I have a few ideas. That’s the nice thing about having a big library, you’ll never go bored. 😛

Combating My Gloom With DOOM

Your weapon, sire.

Tonight felt like a good night for a little DOOM and carnage; after a long week with verbally abusive assholes it felt as necessary as a squeeze ball. I died sooooo many times, but every time I came back I managed to kill more and more until I could move onto the next objective. This game has done a good job so far of blending FPS and platforming with a bit of puzzle thrown in, and plenty of secrets to also keep you busy. One of these days I might try out multiplayer; I’m currently running it under Linux and didn’t feel sociable enough to play it under Windows.

I might play a little more before calling it a night… the neighbourhood is setting off fireworks, and even now my sleep deprived ass isn’t capable of sleeping through it. I wouldn’t complain so much if I could actually see them, instead of hearing Michael Bay’s orgasms in the distance.

Doom Decompression

I decided to play something a little more modern tonight. Trudged through another map and even took a tour of my own digs.

It’s always cool finding additional details added into the game world to not only make it feel more realistic and lived in, but also maintaining a sense of humour. Doomguy has quite the collection of reading material at his disposal.

Doomguy also seems to enjoy breaking the 4th wall once in awhile, as well as rock out by the looks of it:

It’s as though these guitars were crafted from the finest demon parts imaginable! I wonder what they sound like when strummed? 😛

Never Forget

I’ve just started into the third level, and have decided to leave off until next time. Really enjoying the game so far, much harder than the 2016 reboot even on the same difficulty setting.
