LISTEN! The one who get's a hit number 20000 to this page will get some price from me! I don't know what exactly it is... But it's something! So if you are a visitor number 20000, take a screenshot and send it to jsaksa79@hotmail.com.

Ok, so I have only one review this time... But I have TWO new BaseDM levels for you to get! Yes, that's right BaseDM #4 & #5 have been released! So go and check then at My levels-section.

BaseDM #5 also works with all popular source ports (I think) and it has also been optimized for a play with Bots!

There's a review of BaseDM #4 on Janizdreg's page... If you can't find it, just click direct link to review!

Review of the update:

USA & Britain bombed Iraq again and innocent civilians died again, only because they happen to be born in Iraq... Is this fair? I guess you know my opinion... Now it's up to you to decide what do you think of this? Is it fair to kill innocent peoples?

Ok, I've been away for a long time (over a week)... I guess I was just resting from all this reviewing and playing stuff, but now I'm back and yes I have something nice for you! That nice happens to be a long review of new WolfenDooM episode, "Arctic Wolf"... Yes, read it, check the screenshots, download HUGE file and kill those nazi bastards again and again and again and aga...

On next update I will release one or possibly even TWO new BaseDM levels... The first one is middle size and very fun and the second one is small and quite a blast! The style is same as always, but the size is right from Overload :)

Two reviews of the update:

Ok, it seems that my comment about DosDooM made a bit confusion... I didn't think that someone would have a machine fast enough to run DosDooM with texture smoothing on, because on my P200MMX it really did play totally unplayably... Someone has done great job with that renderer, but it feels to me that it is pretty useless and the same time could have been used for something more productive. However if there are peoples who can run it just fine with texture smoothing on, then there is something good in that feature... The question is: Which is more usefull... Slow software smoothing or fast 3d-accelerated smoothing? I would select the last one, but some may choose the first one.
And for those who think that I shouldn't bitch about others volunteer free work: I don't really bitch about it... I only say what I think about the feature...
And to DooMFreak at DooM News: I've got nothing against you either :)

Now I have seen the most useless thing ever done in any source port! Latest version of DOSDooM supports texture & sprite smoothing without a 3d-card! When I first heard about this, I laughed, and I couldn't believe that it would run smoothly and was I right? Yes I was! Hell, even on P200MMX it runs with 1 fps when texture smoothing is on!
The reasons why this new feature is totally useless are here:
Don't get me wrong, I like DosDooM and I think they have made great efforts with it, but this software smoothing is the most useless thing I've seen in any source port so far, unless they can make it run faster!

Sorry about this, but because I've been really busy with level editing, I only have two reviews for you this time...

Reviewed this time: From now on I'll try to put the name of the levels author to the reviews too!

I updated Source ports & mods section with new info about DooMLegacy & ZDooM and I also added the new amazing Marines Best Friend (MBF) engine, which is based on BooM,but adds some wicked stuff to it!

Ok, still about Dukrous... Dukrous is IMO cool, but he has some opinions that piss me off. I have nothing against Dukrous, but I wish that he wouldn't be so fast demanding peoples to shut up just because of their opinions. That's it!

One thing that I have been pretty amazed of are this new flamers who sign my guestbook... First one says that my levels have bugs, which they don't have or at least nobody has pointed any bugs to me, and the other one claims that I'm a gay! I really consider it to be pretty lame to call someone a gay, without really knowing much anything about him. I also consider it quite lame to hate gays.
It makes me smile again that some nice peoples have signed my guestbook, told me that my page rocks and commented those lame flame entries. Thanks for support folks! :)
Friday, 1 January 1999 - SIR ROBIN IS VERY SORRY
On last update I accidentally flamed Dukrous... I confused him with some other dude... Dukrous is cool... I'm sorry (*sniff*)
Friday, 1 January 1999 - SIR ROBIN IS VERY ANGRY NOW!!
It's new year, and it's a perfect time for a little rant and also a good time to reveal some of my opinions!
Oh, and my new year promesses are that I try to make as many peoples as possible to quit smoking, and I will definately NOT go to army.

Ok, first I wan't to state few of my personal opinions, just like Ola did:

Ok, now I'm sure that some of you who don't agree with me are now very pissed off! GOOD! But do remember that those are my opinions, and you can keep yours if you wan't! Now, I don't agree with Ola's opinion about meat or christmas, but I do respect both of them! He has full right to think that I'm a murderer!
Some peoples get pissed off because of this! They don't wan't them selfs to be called murderers! But they don't realize that if someone thinks that eating meat is a murder, then he simply must think that everyone who eats meat is a murderer! That's it!

Now after all this ranting, if your still readin', there's a sneak preview of BaseDM #4 up here, but no download yet! The level is mostly ready to be released, but I'll send it first to Janizdreg and Hakx, and I hope that Janizdreg would review it on his page and Hakx would make some nice midi for it.
Now take a look at the level here.
