Beat Doom 64 yesterday... the final boss was fucking IMPOSSIBLE without some secrets that I missed out on earlier in the game. It took quite a few tries, but I did win.

Right now I've started to play this classic through an emulator:



Believe it or not, I've never actually played any of the Mario games from beginning to end. I'll start here and try a few others as well.

More interesting Mass Effect 3 stuff:

I'm going to keep playing anyway.  I want to see how my favorite romantic option (Liara) plays out.  Plus, I already got 70% of the trophies.  I can probably get the platinum like I did in the second game. But I'm also ready to try some new stuff now and got this today:

i always find that romantic parts of the game never happen for me on the first playthrough.
i did bone that reporter lady though.
she is too easy

I've beaten Mass Effect 3, but the ending poses more questions than it answers...

Yep, I re-beat the game on 'Hurt Me Plenty' on 360 to get all of the achievements. It's a really fun title.

This N64 game actually isn't a port, but an entirely new Doom title that's exclusive to the N64. I'm on level 6 now... really good stuff.

Those three N64 games I mentioned earlier arrived in the mail today.  I started Doom 64:



I beat the first two levels, and although the lighting is terrible and the controls will take some getting used to, it's classic Doom - for me that's definitely a good thing! It's definitely a lot spookier and more atmospheric than other Doom games, though.

I want Bethesda to make a game featuring the stuff from the SCP Foundation. I think it would be epic.

Yeah, I was raised on that shit.  I can't do the "dumb" variety of modern shooter because of it.

I love how 90% of "advanced tactics" in shooters these days come from Quake.  Unfortunately, nowadays games are becoming more and more slow-paced so that experienced players won't have a huge advantage.  Personally, as a new player in a game I'd rather lose than be BORED OUT OF MY MIND.

When Valve ported Half-Life 2: Deathmatch to the orange box engine, mostly breaking strafe jumping, bunny hopping, gravity gun jumps etc basically the entire game community died.  It's sad, really, that kids these days are too pussy to just suck it up and practice something


Another awesome part of DOOM was the par times for levels.  I think that was the only single-player game in which I've ever been motivated to memorize levels

It's certainly the most influential game of all time.

iv almost beat the game, as i have said elsewhere, im on what appears to be the final mission (i got the final speeches thing, ala. speeches before the me2 suicide run)
i decided to postpone that (wich will probably be until monday with me doing this assignment), because i wanted to sleep
