All that ROTT talk got me super excited, as it's my all-time favorite game. I will buy every shirt in your store and upgrade to a yearly if you guys play through ROTT.
(solidarity head nod)
I remember sitting there stunned for a second when the first sprite-based minion begged for his life. For some reason I found it to be one of the most amazing things I had ever seen up to that point in my childhood.
@Grimhild: That's how I felt about the bullet holes. I would spend upwards of minutes drawing simple shapes on the walls with the MP40.
Much of my taste in aesthetic is directly influenced by ROTT. Fog, inexplicable geometry, a guy yelling "Here, catch! Here, catch! Here, catch!", dog snouts... all thanks to Apogee.

That makes for a very interesting mental image of a sort of Neoplatonism personal afterlife for you lol
My afterlife is predetermined to be me watching a down-on-his-luck car salesman eat out of a tuna can while singing "Edelweiss", but I'd trade up for that. :D
How the fuck did you guys not vote for Brad Muir for the Golden Duder?
I preferred voting for the guy who poured his heart and soul into a website that got almost no success and was eventually fucked over by incompetent Whiskey Media business moves that didn't even consider him worthy of being all that informed on what was even going on. But Brad Muir is amusing.
I understand where you are coming from, what happened to Rorie was a travesty.
But, this was a Golden Duder for GB contest, not for Whiskey Media. To be frank I think the author of Golden Duder should not have included any WM staff.
According to the doom wiki: "In some online Doom forums/discussion boards, this was considered the worst Doom II stage created." (in reference to the last stage Brad plays this time, Map 21: Nirvana.
Those dudes obviously never played any of my efforts. Now that was some awful level design.
The level design in this game is astonishingly bad.
I think it's more a case of limitations of technology, the limited texture pallet tend to obscure a lot of doors and what have you. A couple of additional visual indications would go a long way.

I don't think it's only that...

Please ole please do another Geometry Wars BB, and AT LEAST one more lantern run!!! :) PLEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE??? Lol.
What if Brad Muir was on the Lantern Run??? Double Brads means Double Brad Bucks which means double Lantern points!
This has gotten me excited and horrified for the Doom 3 re-release which comes with the first two games. I'll be giving this a go for the first time in a while but certainly not on Ultra-violence. Pre-canned Brad near the end was amusing.

Yeah, Doom 1's and Wolfenstein 3D's level design did well with the limited tech, it's just Doom 2 that's notoriously bad. It had pretty much all the traits of an hastily put together sequel. It's only memorable addition was the super shotgun, and I think it added a few new map triggers that the mod community made great use of - but the core game is downright bad.
