Description
Hi there! This is a channel where I do playthroughs of video games, and occasionally informative videos of said video games! My specialties currently include the history of certain video game projects as well as the occasional analytical video on certain subjects in video games. In addition, I do some special challenges from time to time as well. If you want to compare my thing to other YouTubers, consider me a stuttery, stammery combination of YouTubers like BigMacDavis and decino. I try to differentiate myself from both of them, but with the kind of videos I'm trying to produce, it can be difficult. I hope you like my content regardless!

Hearts next to comments are usually not endorsements, it mostly means I've seen your comment.

Dwars Hi there! NOH! is now on bandcamp, and with more songs that I'll have to upload very soon as NOH! 2. In the meantime, check it out here: https://dwarsbc.bandcamp.com/album/noh (1 year ago)
 
 
Dwars Well, it looks like this channel is getting up there in numbers soon. I haven't been too active lately but I do have something planned to post around this time - stay tuned! (1 year ago)
 
 
Dwars For those interested, I've made a MIDI cover of a song from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - the guitar11.ogg, which only recently I've learned had an actual full song for it. While the actual recording of said song is from a live recording, and only features guitars, I worked around that and made my own musical accompaniment. Hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i5Vt... (1 year ago)
 
 
Dwars I've often been asked about a video for Build engine source ports. MrJohn Reviews made a video that covers some of them (primarily for Duke 3D but still!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GB-g... (1 year ago)

A note about the texture filtering in GZDoom: it can be turned off.

So... Everyone can do a good doom port since the 90's, people can port doom even to photographic camera, yet, bethesda can't port it to computer properly?

You forgot the lack of nazis in the bfg editions Wolfenstein level

Doomsday engine models look like Doom and Quake had a bastard love-child.

The BFG Edition chaingun sounds like when you break stone in Minecraft.

Doomsday: For people who want Doom to look like a bastardized version of Quake II.

I'll be honest, GZDoom is probably the best for fully modded Doom (like when I'm playing Guncaster in some "advanced engine" maps) but when it comes to pure, vanilla gameplay I either use PrBoom+ or Crispy Doom because it respects the original game while having the modern confort

You forgot GZDoomVR

Friendly reminder that a Doom source port was used to create a Sonic fangame that's been evolving since just before the turn of the century called Sonic Robo Blast 2
Keldor314 (5 years ago)
Interestingly enough, even vanilla Doom can be played with WASD and mouselook by going in and editing the .cfg file. You still can't look up or down, but otherwise it's really interesting that you're able to use a modern control scheme with the original executable from 1994 running in DOSBOX.

You don’t ask “but can it run doom”

The Doomsday Engine makes me genuinely uncomfortable

“Pure vanilla gameplay”

Making the Red Cross green would make the med kits stand for weed.

Doom Retro is my personal favorite. It changes and updates just enough to make it feel like a "remastered" version of Doom without straying too far from Vanilla.

by the way, crispy doom 5.8.0 now has proper widescreen, its not just stretched anymore
elsd93 (6 years ago)
For me it's GZDoom, no texture filtering, using the mods Smooth Doom and Perkristian's high resolution Doom sound effects pack. The perfect balance between classic and modern.
