Cadman is back in the house!

[Cadman]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have returned from the bottomless pit.  Personal and health reasons have kept me at bay but things have settled down for me and I'm looking at getting back into the groove of things.  I've been retrieving a lot of my old Doom material off hard drives, disks and the such and transferring them to my new computer.  I've already d/l the Ultimate Doom Builder editor and re-setting up my Doom/Doom2 directories.  I have already started reading through the forums trying to bring myself up to date (work in progress).

 

As a side note I will be setting up a stream on Twitch playing through Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 along with other wads that many of the great authors have created out there.  No schedule on that yet as I'm just getting started with everything, but my handle under Twitch will be Cadman0955.  I will keep you posted as I proceed in all this.  Again, it's great to be back!

For a little of my Doom history for some that are interested....

 

1.  Member of the Original TeamTNT with Ty Halderman (I miss that guy)

2.  Started the original Community Chest series way back when.  (Thanks goes out to all the folks who assisted with those projects)

3.  Was a part of numerous projects with TeamTNT from single player and deathmatch play.

 

There were other things as well but those are a few.  I will always give credit to those that have assisted me in my journey in this wonderful game, whether it comes to playing or editing.  I couldn't have done it without the Doomworld crew, Use3d, The Green Herring, Ling, Mordeth, Larry Bird, Magikal just to name a few.  There are many more I could name and you know who you are!  My biggest thanks to Ty Halderman even though he is no longer with us who took me in to TeamTNT!

Welcome back! Even though I don't know you by a lot, I'd like to hear more about you in the future.

Kaiser, good to hear from you!  It has been a while.  I've already been experimenting with the Ultimate Doom Builder this evening.

[Dynamo]

Welcome back! I remember being a bit concerned when I saw your last posts mentioned health problems, so I'm glad to see you're back to share more Doom with all of us. Cheers!

[Cadman]

My streaming...I've already starting streaming.  For this evening it was a test and it seems to have worked well.  I will initially be streaming Ultimate Doom Play through's.  It's hard for a set schedule, but usually it will be 2-3 times per week.  I will then move on to Doom 2 as well and we'll go from there.  

 

I will announce the day of when I will be streaming and it will be on twitch.

 

It will be listed under the appropriate channel such as Ultimate Doom or Doom 2 etc.

 

My handle will be Cadman0955.

 

I will also include periods of level editing as well as I get more comfortable with Ultimate Doom Builder.

 

Thanks everyone and I hope to see you during the streams!

hi cadman!! welcome back :)

 

i've only ever heard of you from the older members before, but it's still really nice to see that you're back. i look forward to seeing what you'll be up to now that you've returned

So, when is the next Community Chest?

[Cammy]

Welcome back, Cadman! I may not have been inducted to the Doomsphere yet when you were last around, but it's always great to see people make a triumphant return. Very happy to hear that your health has improved, please take care of yourself. You're coming home to a thriving scene - Doom has exploded in the past couple years! There's even a spiritual successor to the Community Chest series being worked on right now. If you ask me, it's earned the moniker of Community Chest 5, which as far as I gather was only withheld from it because nobody wanted to make an official new entry without your involvement. Want to fix that? :)

The story's a bit more complicated than that though....

I will be streaming some Ultimate Doom this evening somewhere between 9:00 & 9:30 p.m.  Don't know how late it will run...it will be on twitch.  Still trying to fine tune the twitch stream stream, thanks everyone.

Amazing to speak to part of Doom history. You seriously should write a short book about the early days of Doom. I'm sure the fanbase would buy it... I'd read it. I'm pushing close to 40, and so nostalgia and fascination from 1995-2005 is starting to grow on me.... Today's games are great, but the mechanics were set back then.

I do have a lot of history with this game, LAN parties (remember those), doom mapping all day long...deathmatching until the wee hours of the morning.  Deathmatch tournaments and the list goes on and on.  Of course my days with Ty Halderman and Team TNT!  Of course a big thanks to my old friend Myscha the "Sled Dog."  He went on the develop maps for Unreal with Epic and then moved on to things like Myst and other projects in the gaming industry.

Welcome back to an absolute legend! Hope you're doing well.

I appreciate the comment, thank you!  I couldn't have done anything without the fantastic Doom Community being there for me as well.  Accolades to them as well!
