Way too late update!
I haven't been updating my site. Why?
Well, I was trying to clean a bug from my ZDooM competition level and I had no time for a webpage.

I haven't uploaded my competition level. Why?
Well, it still has the bug. It's a problem with one polyobject and I wish to have it fixed soon. I believe that it's too late now to send the level, but I haven't really checked what has happened with the competition.

Tshernobyl
Remember Tshernobyl! Why couldn't it happen to modern nuclear plants?

DosDooM smooth rendering has it's good sides too...
Although DosDooM's smooth rendering is really sloooow even with P200MMX, I have started to use it anyway... It's too slow to play with, but for screenshots it's really nice... Why not GLDooM or Legacy then? Well, after updating my video drivers GLDooM stopped working for some reason and I haven't installed Legacy and OpenGL drivers for it yet, so currently I'm using DosDooM for screenshot's of levels that work with it. Check out for example Spooky04 that I just reviewed, it has a screenshot taken with DosDooM smooth rendering on.

DooM doesn't make us violent pigs. Life may do it.
Damn, we have been playing DooM more or less peacefully since it was released and now some moron who hasn't even touched DooM himself claims that it can turn you to a violent nazi freak just because one guy who had also played DooM was a nutcase.

I don't honestly know what kind of imbesil can think that DooM teaches you how to kill (I could never imagine myself killing someone) or that it makes you more violent (from what I know, most DooMers are actually pretty anti-violent guys in real life.

Love is sweet!
I've fallen in love :)

FUCT is for extreme detail
I received third screenshot of FUCT from REoL TOUGH and it has a room with more than 650 sectors in it... It looks damn cool, but at the same time it makes me wonder... Is this amount of detail really needed? Wouldn't it be enough to make arches just with arch textures? Are they just doing it to get mentioned for making the most detailed map on earth?
Anyway, I can't wait to get it, but IMO this detail thing is taken pretty much to extreme, and it's not 100% good thing. It has downsides too...

BaseDM #6 is coming!
On my next update I will release my 6th BaseDM level. This time I have choosed to use dark gray theme. The level is medium size and very symmetrical. It also has new graphics and a demo in it.

Reviews, reviews, 3 reviews.
Reclamation review is finally done!!! The 32 level demo pack should be out soon too if you are interested!

Also don't miss those two other great WAD's!

DoomWorld & Doom News, what's going on?
Is it just my imagination or has DoomWorld and Doom News suddenly stopped mentioning my sites updates? Hopefully you news guys have just accidentally missed couple of my updates, but if you really have "abandoned" me, then I would like to hear why?

And some more reviews...
I've been playing a lot again :) 13 levels in 4 reviewed add-on :)

Did something happen?
I re-arranged my "old-news" -section... It's now easyer to view old news, because they aren't all in one page anymore... They are arranged but month & year... So you can easy pick up all new of March, 1998 for example :) Check it out right here: Old news.

I also changed a link from editing section that before pointed to Dr. Sleep's page (which is now dissapeared or I just don't know where it is) to point at TeamTNT's page which now is the home of DETH's latest version.
Also added there ZETH, a ZDooM version of DETH.

DrCrypt gets his price! (finally...)
Okay, DrCrypt finally got his price for hitting 20000 on my visitor counter from me... All I can tell you now is that it's an MBF optimized version of one of the levels that is in one Partial Conversion that I'm working on, and that it's the first released WAD to introduce helpful marines. See "Screenshot Of Update" to see those helpful marines in action!

Some reviews moved...
Prowers seventh series was moved under letter "t", because they are "The Seventh...", not "Seventh...".

And some reviews...
Hell, 5 reviews! Should be enough playing for few hours :)
