Doom why do you need loadouts: What in the fuck?

I went to play Doom's open beta today and it is done.
Damnit!

I was having fun actually with most of the game.

CONS: Loadouts are stupid. They don't belong in fucking doom. Doom needs weapons and a fast paced non-twitchy kill that fool mentality. That's all. You take your gun and you murder people and the gun is big.
You don't need all these convoluted bullshit load-outs. It is highly unnecessary and takes away from the candor of Doom.

The Revenant's look amazing with ID tech 6. That engine is very impressive and you can see full remanants of what Jon Carmack built when he was with ID. We have to remember "children of the reads" that Doom was from ID not Bethesda. So yeah, Bethesda will have their take on it.

Unfortunately, the Revenant is just a cough of a powerup. The powerups in the game are just fine. 'Ya got your armour that is blue, your health that is blue. Or was it the other way around. Either way you have armour and health. That is fine. That is Doom. You have some sweet weapons . Check!
Seriously, the super shotgun blows faces off and why shouldn't it? The Rocket Launcher doesn't take into account splash and I find it harder to rocket jump. I love the engine it is brilliant. Not just that but the lighting bounces from different places and the darkness feels bloody and dark. And dare I say the atmosphere feels Doom and demonic. That is the essence of Doom. Demons!

Team deathmatch is a relatively fun mode. I often tried to kill as many as I could. The king of the hill game type is also very fun. It is a different dynamic to it. That makes me happy.

People complained about the speed. But ya know what. It is not that slow. That's just people bitching about speed. If you want speed play Unreal or Quake. Doom was never known for its speed or at least I don't think so. Unreal 2k4 and other Unreals aside from Quake Arena are the fastest lightning neck games I have ever played.

Overall, too--the customization is gorgeous. Customizing gun colors: For instance I had a green super shotty that looked rusted. I wanted my Doom guy to be all green. But I did mess with the color palate a lot. Which I think is good because it behooves you to have variety with your Doom guy.

So far from the open beta it is a 7/10

But I guarentee that the campaign will bring you back to Doom. From what I have seen it is good reason for myself and many others that Doom is going back to its roots. ID and Bethesda are extremely capable of delivering a hellish nightmare we all experienced in the nineties. What's not to love about killing demons in full bloody gore. The answer is nothing. Because Doom 1 and 2 seminally changed video games for ever. Whelp! There was Wolfenstein which was Doom's grandfather. But Doom being the child that it is will get all the attention. AND I CANNOT WAIT!

Bring on Doom Guy I want to mercilessly kill some demons. Cyber Demon I am coming to kill your ass once again!

My vlog

Sometimes when I am on Youtube I don't really know what to listen to.
Normally, it is based on my mood but lately I have been jumping around everything from Kanye West's Pablo to The Wanted.

Yet, what the hell? I want to just listen to whatever. I am finding new bands daily . It is cruzhhhhhhhhhhy.

I just sometimes want to fucking put my vlog and listen to old shit. Remembering times when music was a tad different, but this is like in years past so it isn't horribly different.
:)

And there's nutty shit like Duck Sauce . That band to me is hilarious but like with a crazy tone to them. Electronic with a twist? Twist-tronic? I have no idea as usual.

Or randomly just uh... Cristina Branco Ai Vida.

Some of this shit is pretty goddamn good...Ipunk.

The Stereo Flow... :)

Just it is interesting because I have been building this list up.  I am now at 493 videos on just my vlog lol.

2001 what the fuck Space Odyssey?



2001: Space Odyssey back in the day was like Kubrick's insanely well painted canvas?
I am going with canvas because what it makes sense.

Kubrick had envisioned some great space adventure. And I missed 20 minutes of it today. I had never seen the film ever.

And to see it I was in awe. I think it came out in the 80's but I am not sure. All I know is I was visually blown away. Yes, this is slow sci-fi which is okay. I recently by that I mean---maybe about a week and a half a go, my friend Ian told me to watch Space 1999.
My introduction to Sci-fi is through books and Star Trek. So I mean also the obvious is Star Wars. But I have read so much Sci-fi it is hard to keep track...anyway 2001 was an artistic delight.
The dialogue is well done and sometimes the  camera angles are nauseating. Seriously, it moves at a sloth pace but it is Hal that saves the movie. Hal 9000 is incredible in the film. He's not just some AI he's a prominent character.

Though the last half of the film gets so confusing. Kubrick did the same shit with Eyes Wide Shut. And what other films have I seen of his. Though, Full Metal Jacket is a classic the ending works. Eyes Wide Shut you're just like what the fuck? Does Kubrick have a bowl of cereal and decide this will work as an open end to a fucking film.

Pure confusion at the end for me. I tried to follow the story line and it was very good until that last half of the film. I love weird  (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Pans Labryinth, Hellboy, )

My mind was proverbially fucking blown by that last smidgen of film. Why did this happen? What the fuck was that thing? How come it ended like that?

Goddamnit it is perplexing to say the least.

I am happy I finally saw the film. Now I need to hunt down the first 20 minutes.

Toodles readers
