Doom Mod Review : Infernal Attack

 Infernal Attack is a MASSIVE Doom Randomizer mod released on moddb a few years ago. It boasts 600 new enemies to fight, 200 guns, and more.  I regularly play doom with it and often mix it with nameless rpg lite so that I can enjoy tons of new enemies/guns plus rpg mechanics.

Infernal attack is quite the controversial mod, thanks to the fact that it borrowed some stuff from other mods.  The amount of mods it "steals" from is quite large, coming down to it ripping stuff from brutal doom, project brutality, Doom the roguelike arsenal, Complex Doom, Shades of Doom, Realm 667 shuffle and many others.

Despite that and despite the obvious bugginess the mod has, which I will get to later, the mod is still quite good. Not phenominal, but definitely one of the better randomizer mods out there.  There are a lot of new unique guns and enemies in it and they help make it a fresh experience, and stuff such as the complex doom guns, the drla guns, the shades of doom, hxrtc, and ream667 enemies put in one mod together, help to make it feel like a really nice compilation of great stuff in one mod,  which is needed in this day and age, where a lot of mods have unique stuff only.

It does have a big downside, it's buggy as hell. Some enemies break, others have badly set up sprites, and more. It is not too noticeable at first, but play 30 or so maps in it and you will notice it eventually. However, the whole thing being a massive ripoff, to me is quite a moot point.

Lots of people are trashing this mod.  It isn't that bad. It does take stuff from other mods but most mods do! In fact the total amount of guns I could find that I recognized from other mods, is really small compared to the total amount of guns in the mod. Only 19 or so. guns are based on other mods the rest are either realm667 stuff or original material.  Now for the enemies. Many are from other mods but not all. A lot out of that 600 are original enemies not found anywhere else, so that makes this mod less of a ripoff.

Overall infernal attack is a very cool mod, worthy of an 8/10

(offtopic) The Curse of Johan Hegg is real!

 While watching the Boston Red Sox go through the playoffs 2 years ago, I decided to listen to the metal. band Amon Amarth. Not thinking of it much at the time, I just went for it and soon saw something strange happen.

While I listened to bands other than amon amarth or no bands at all, the red sox were DEAD at the plate. No hits whatsoever, or very few, at least. Such is the case of ALCS game 1 in Boston.  I wasn't listening to any bands that day and the red sox lost horribly. Then on the next night they came back and won, and I decided to try listening to Amon Amarth again. It worked in the final game of the ALDS against the Yankees, so why not I thought.

 Weirdly this whole thing actually somehow affected the series. I would go through 5 albums of amon Amarth and switch over to 2 Hypocrisy cds afterward. During the Amon Cd's the red sox were total hitting machines and slaughtered their way through the opposition. During the Hypocrisy ones they did not. I jokingly called this the Curse of Johan Hegg. It was fucking weird.

I continued to Listen to Amon Amarth for all of the games in the Series and they managed to Win them all on days I listened to Amon. However It got really weird in the World Series vs the dodgers.

Against the dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series in LA, something weird happened. I was listening to Amon Amarth but it didn't work.  They lost the game in 19 innings. Next game I did the same thing and they won. Same thing the next night.Then they won the title.   I think SOMEHOW (god knows how) Amon Amarth influenced those games. It came down to such intricacy where not listening to Amon lead to them not doing well, and listening to Amon suddenly made them hitting machines most of the time.

So the next time you hear the Red Sox cheated in 2018, Blame it on Amon Amarth instead! For the curse of Johan Hegg is real!

I think some guy associated with the community is trying to troll me....

 Ok, this blog post is going to get controversial, I warn you.  

A long time ago some assholes from the doom community decided to try to troll me, and it was for a wad I made that they thought was terrible but the wad in question wasn't. Pretty soon hundreds of people tried to troll me over it, not limited to ones on doom community sites, but also on youtube on my old youtube channel (that I chose to shut down due to trolling), and more places like wadsinprogress and similar.

That was a long time ago. Since then I have released countless projects and tc's and things for doom.  While searching for youtube videos on a certain doom mod I didn't make that everyone else trolled as well for stealing shit, I ended up  running into a youtube channel playing one of my old, long forgotten about doom mods, a mod called "serious sam : the ultimate encounter" and I think the people in question (the channel owner and his followers) were trying to troll me.

The guy is a fucking idiot people. He actually at first tried to defend the mod I was searching for then later on shat all over it, while stuttering countless times like porky pig.  Bdeep-bdeep-bdeep that-that-that's all folks type stuttering, not minor stuttering but serious stuttering. Then he and his followers try to troll me for a mod I made that wasn't that bad.

Now the weird thing is that more people  LIKED this mod in the videos he did on it than disliked it but one person dared to say that "MOST" weapons were misaligned and the guns bullets came from the head of the character, which cannot be true, that is total BS if you ask me, yet another lame attempt by the doom community to troll my stuff. This time it was a minor thing THANK GOD, but this just shows you how stupid the doom community has become, some channel owner decides to play a mod I made that has no FUCKING DOWNLOAD LINK ANYMORE (because I deleted it due to the fact that I thought it sucked too!), and then they troll me over it even though no. one should be playing it in the first place!
It's not like I've done bad mods, I've done some damn good ones since then. But still......... 

This thing was far from current, it was released around 2014 or so.  I've done tons more since then, and to see some idiot community try to troll me over it on youtube is stupid and sickening. Why do the community have to resort to such lame trolling excuses on sites associated with doom or channels Associated with doom? It boggles the mind......

Why Toonforce is Overrated, and why Bugs Bunny is not ultra powerful.

 I am going to preface this blog post with this : I am writing this post not to bash Bugs Bunny. Despite what this blog post reveals to the world and what I found out about various fictional characters fighting others, Bugs is still the funniest cartoon character ever. That doesn't change at all. This was only written to try to tell people that "Toon Force" is overrated.

Toon Force, a description of the kind of super powers Cartoon Characters have that people don't, has become a point of contention in the Comic Book Fanbase. Many people are arguing that toon force is more powerful than comic book super powers, and that someone like Bugs could wipe the floor with anyone else in a 1 on 1 fight and no one can beat him.

That to me is not true. 

I was actually very skeptical on this toon force thing. Toon force to me was limited to characters who might not be able to handle something as powerful as a very powerful Marvel Universe Supervillian like Beyonder, Thanos, Galactus, Etc. What I found out is that Bugs is very powerful, yet not powerful enough to be able to fight some very powerful characters from other works of fiction like Star Wars, Marvel Comics and Cthulhu Mythos.  

What did I use to judge this?

Unlike others, I was not content with the idea that one character is superior and there was no way to prove that. I wanted to take it step further and test it somehow. So when I found out about this fighting game called MUGEN that allowed me to import characters from tons of works of fictions, including comic books, movies, video games, cartoons, horror novels, and more, I had to try it with that.  Soon I downloaded Mugen, and within a few hours I had setup 11-12 characters I could use to test it with.

I went with this roster.

Xenomorph from Aiien
Luke Skywalker
Bugs Bunny
Galactus from marvel comics
Iron Man from Marvel Comics
Daffy Duck
Cyberdemon and Doom Guy from Doom
Mr Spock

Soon I had changed it to:

Xenomorph from Alien
Luke Skywalker
Bugs Bunny
Galactus
Iron Man
Daffy Duck
Doom Guy
Cyberdemon
Darth Vader
Emporer Palpatine
Cthulhu
Superman

What I found out completely debunked the idea that Bugs Bunny would wipe the floor with every other character in Comic Books, etc. He did well but he still was not powerful enough to beat certain characters.

He was able to beat most of the characters he fought, including a suprise Victory over Galactus.  He had no trouble with a doom Cyberdemon, which is expected. He could beat Xenomorphs, Mr Spock, The thing, Daffy Duck, etc. But other characters gave him trouble.

Luke Skywalker gave him trouble.  Maybe it's the force, or luke's jedi fighting stance or the lightsaber combat, but something made Luke Beat Bugs easily. Next Came 2 characters who both wiped the floor with Bugs Bunny, Iron Man and Cthulhu.

Iron Man is so overpowered that bugs bunny simply never wins against him and other characters can't beat him either.  His suits missiles and laser do so much damage that they rip Bugs to shreds. His huge explosive blast is so OP that it sucks almost all of Bugs health away quickly. Bugs simply cannot win here.

And Cthulhu, turned out to be so powerful that NOTHING could beat him.

I thought it was weird that cthulhu would beat Galactus, but when I saw Cthulhu wipe the floor with Bugs Bunny, I knew something was off, but then I realized it. Cthulhu must be making his opponent go mad as he fights him! That must be it. Because Not even a team of Bugs Bunny and Iron Man could beat Cthulhu. Not even Iron Man and Galactus could do it either!

Now I don't know how much of this is badly, incorrectly or biased design of the characters that I downloaded. It could be that whoever made Iron Man, Luke Skywalker, or Cthulhu made them too powerful becasue their fanboys, but Somehow I doubt that.

Either way, this is really weird to see, and maybe it will make people who try to proclaim Bugs Bunny as an unstoppable force who roflstomps everyone think a little.

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.
