MyHouse.WAD - Inside Doom's Most Terrifying Mod

moonsammy says...

It's really not all that involved - the hardest part is absolutely going to be finding Doom2.wad. If you (like me) have an old CD on hand you probably already have that, though I recognize there's a huge difference between "I have the cd" and "I can easily access the cd"...

After you have that though, it's just a matter of:
1 Downloading / unzipping GZDoom (free, easy to find)
2 Tossing Doom2.wad and the mod's .pk3 file into the unzipped GZDoom folder, and
3 Dragging the .pk3 onto gzdoom.exe.

Getting mods up and running in something like Skyrim or Fallout is substantially more fiddly.

Ditto. I was going to download it, but I would have to find my old DOOM files, install and setup the game and its mod, play, etc. I ain't got time and resources for that like I used like during my younger days.

GET LAMP: The Text Adventure Documentary

StukaFox says...

Ant,

It would require a fairly intensive refactor to get it to work. The hardest part would be figuring out how to shoehorn GOTO into a modern BASIC interpreter since that command was taken out back and shot in the head -- and for good reason -- but with the memory and processor restrictions of computers at the time, GOTO was necessary because GOSUB required 4 bytes of stored information and a bit more processing power. There's also a number of functions that are exclusive to TRS-DOS BASIC and the Model III in particular.

At one point, I thought about moving the code from BASIC to Z-80 Assembler, but by then the first PC Jr. clones were out (I had a TRS Model 1000 and it was GREAT!) and it no longer made sense to continue doing anything on the Model III.

The worst loss is the database data, which was all the room and pathing descriptions, as well as part of the warm storage for the games. That's the part that breaks my heart to have lost.

That said, the sound over an acoustic coupler of an analog modem making a 300 bps connection is still makes me smile.

I'd guess contenders for best sax solo in a pop/rock song Though I wouldn't put the Benny Hill theme in the same list, but would put on Tim Cappello - I Still Believe... Jungleland and lots of others by Bruce Springsteen... Pink Floyd's Us and Them...

Careless Whisper's sax solo, if Wikipedia is to be believed, was Steve Gregory, who's sax didn't have the key range, so they messed with the recording a bit, and when George came in, he liked it... Actually seems like that was the part of the song they had the hardest part with as George didn't like most takes from most people.

The hardest part of watching this is watching no one challenging him or his miss-information. No one looks up. No one stands up. No one questions.

Pathetic for people that seem to be policy makers or leaders.
Completely uneducated in what they are speaking about.

Do you think this practice belongs to another age?

entr0py says...

To me a morally clarifying way to think about it is to ask, if all of the tradition were stripped away, would you still be okay with it.

Like, imagine a guy who likes to buy domestic pets and stab them to death over a few hours. He enjoys it, and cruelty exists in nature. But those arguments don't seem very convincing. Less cruelty is always better than more, and the joy of sadism isn't worth defending.

I think the hardest part of doing away with a tradition like this is having to realize that your parents and grandparents were kind of assholes. But we're all in that boat.

I've been to bull fights in Spain (when I was very young) and Mexico. Also cock fights in Mexico and Thailand, and water buffalo fighting in Thailand. Water buffalo fights are very different than bullfighting though: two buffalo bulls lock horns and push each other around to establish dominance until one tires out and runs away. Injuries / deaths to the "losing" buffalo are possible but pretty rare. Actually, it ends up being pretty similar to fights that males would do to establish dominance in nature without any human intervention.

Basically, I'm not strongly opposed to or in favor of any of those. Cruel and unnecessary? Sure. But nature itself is frequently pretty cruel also. I don't feel the need to support any of these activities by paying to watch or betting on outcomes, but I don't really begrudge those that do. Often a lot of cultural momentum to overcome if you want to put these things in the past (where they belong?).

Upvote because this video was well done in technical terms, and because it makes an argument against bullfighting (and arguably other similar practices) to those that support it without being too abrasive about it.

Rubik's Cube Magician Steven Brundage fools Penn & Teller...

BicycleRepairMan says...

I think its possible, i just tried, but the scrambled sides wont really be scrambled, if you freeze the video, you can see that they end up sort of checker-patterned. The hardest part is figuring out how to place the wrong pieces. in a solve I use the same general pattern every time, so doing it wrong on purpose is hard. I managed to get 3 perfect sides except 1 sidepiece (which could be hidden with a thumb while the 3 other sides remained sort of scrambled.

edit: I got it working! 3 sides solved, 3 "scrambled"

Is it possible to solve 3 sides of a Rubik's cube whilst the opposite sides are scrambled?

I think he solves the cube in the bag when he reaches in to take it out. I wonder if he is doing the behind the back toss one the same way. I can only imagine that for the last trick he is able to eye up Teller's cube and "solve" his one to match, which would be pretty astounding even without all the sleight of hand.

the Mountain lifts and carries a 1433 pound log

Mordhaus says...

Not to be a dick, but the amount of separation between the log and the safety frame was sketchy at times. The frame kept him from overbalancing at least twice; which would seem to me to be the hardest part of this challenge, as you take each step trying to not only lift this incredible weight, but to prevent the unwieldy length from shifting said weight to the point of no control.

Fully customizable smart phone & 3D printed case

VoodooV says...

It's a cool idea, but yeah, just have to wait and see if it really takes hold.

I just find it funny that my PC is modular, and phones may become modular, but my laptop is still locked into a single configuration and not upgradable other than memory/hard drive.

I suspect the hardest part is getting manufacturers to let go of control. One thing that pissed me off about Android is that here we have a phone/mobile computing operating system that is upgradeable, but yet, whether or not you get those upgrades is pretty much determined by the manufacturer, because they lock you into their "flavor" of Android. That's like Dell telling you that you can't install certain patches on your computer, or upgrade to a new OS, What's that? you want to install Linux, nope sorry, we're going to try to prevent you from doing that.

..unless of course you root your phone to upgrade it yourself, but that voids your warranty.
