Doom Oblige Mod Review : Oblige Realm667 mod

 Ok, this will be the last doom mod review you will see here. I am going throgh a phase where I have to do other things in my life and won't have time to blog. It's a long story. But anyway, during that phase I will be playing the shit out of this mod. Oblige realm667 mod is an oblige mod that modifies oblige 7.70 to put in realm667 enemies  and guns by default. It's a pretty cool mod with one major issue - difficulty. Besides that it's fine.

Oblige realm667 mod is a great mod to pair with obaddon. It comes with obaddon installed in it's subfolder and it's recommended to play with that enabled.  It also comes with the two mods needed to play with when launching doom, realm667.pk3 and realm667_weapons.pk3.  These two mods contain the new enemies and weapons found in the mod, and are a must to play doom with because without them it wouldn't work. So copy those two files to doom's folder from the subfolder the mod launches in and then run them by typing gzdoom -file realm667.pk3 realm667_weapons.pk3 random .wad where random.wad is your randomly generated wad.

I recommend playing with the newest beta version of obaddon instead of the one given out by this thing. For one it fixes TNT and Plutonia support, and that's important to me. I play with plutonia by default and now that makes doom a lot more fun to see plutonia textures in doom now. Just install it and zip up the src folder in the download zip from github found under clone or download and rename the zip to pk3 and install into your oblige_realm667 folder.

Anyway, the one issue I have with this thing is difficulty. It throws in some OBSCENELY hard enemies into the mix, and some can be a dealbreaker.  One in particular spawns tons of imps everywhere and is really annoying in slaughtermaps, another is a fucking pain in the ass archvile replacement that shoots homing insta-death ghosts ar you. Not exactly the most balanced mod out there.

Still fun  but needs to be improved. You can download the mod through the description of this youtube video.

My Solo Artist does a concept album based on the game Clive Barker's Undying

I am a huge fan of the game clive barker's undying, it helped to introduce me to horror games back in 2003 or so. Since then I have played tons more so it was only fitting that my solo project, unleashing vengeance did a concept album on clive barker's undying.

The Concept album, called the Undying Curse, tells the story of the protagonist Patrick Galloway as He fights undead creatures and undead possessed siblings haunting a old friends manor.  The songs follow the story very well, and start where the intro starts and go into the end cutscene.

The style of the album is blackened thrash metal, a mix of the 2013 styled unleashing vengeance and newer black metal stuff. It has black metal vocals like newer stuff, but has the guitar melodies of older unleashing vengeance mixed in with black metal. It's a good hybrid cd mixing old and new sounds together.

I composed the music last night at insistence of a friend of mine who wanted to hear one more unleashing vengeance.  It was his idea to mix 2013 and 2020 unleashing vengeance together.  It took about an hour and a half to build the music to the cd, and mix the instruments together.  I did the vocals around 3 AM last night right in the middle of the tropical storm In Massachusetts. I was lucky it didn't fuck it up!

I am very satisfied with the cd and I think it came out great, you can download it here

Why Do Video Upload Sites have to suck?

Video Uploading sites suck. First youtube and it's stupid dislike bot problem. I got an unleashing vengeance song disliked on youtube and I didn't even upload the fucking video, some stupid copyright infringing leecher did!  But you think that is bad.

I have been trying to look for a DECENT video upload site. Dailymotion worked for a while, then my channel got shut down with a BOGUS copyright complaint. Then I found sendvid. That was good for a while then recently, the mods started to randomly delete my videos only hours after uploading, so I left in disgust. So I went back to dailymotion and they worked fine for a while then I had a problem where no upload on my end would work.

Then sendvid was tried again, and AGAIN they kept on deleting my uploads only hours after posting them. Like they don't like my atuff at all and keep on trying to fuck with me.

I wish the government would get involved. Video uploading platforms censor their users way too much it seems. They should not be allowed to! My stuff was NOT copyright infringing on sendvid. And I would have to go through their fucking stupid waiting lines to re-upload so it's a pain in the ass. It sucks to be given problems like this on video upload sites.


It's getting out of hand. Government needs to step in and make these sites liable for doing shit like this.
