[doom-nerdo-666]

When thinking of writing a post about why people tend to dislike Midnight, i had a bit of a thought: Just like SgtMarkIV/Brutal Doom, the hate can come from people that are usually uninformed.

A way to see Midnight is that he's more of a "side effect" and represents things that aren't unique to him (Specially if you look at other Doom related channels and see similarities).

I've seen him compared to MrBossFTW as if Midnight is the Doom equivalent to that.

He seems like a clickbait channel trying to exploit people that know less about Doom than he already does.

A recent example being him doing a video about Lilith PK3 and how his observation (If it's legit) can be comparable to that of how game journos (The group that Doom fans supposedly hate) talk about Doom mods.

(Because i don't think he even knows about the weird drama about that mod at all)

It's why DoomKid making a video correcting Midnight was a bit of a shocker: Both could be seen as representing opposite sides related to "Doom fandom".

But in general, a way to better understand this is by looking at 3 big points:

The Doom community and its history

I already made certain points in different posts, like differences between older and newer fans or aspects of certain activities etc.

You can read some of it here:

Random observations about the Doom community.

A specific Brutal Doom post.

Things that may've not exist if not for the fans.

Nerd/geek/fandom/whatever-you-call-it culture

I'm sure people are aware of nerd stereotypes in pop culture: The smart but socially awkward skinny guy with glasses with weird speech patterns and interests in pop culture, that gets bullied.

While they are exaggerated, they do have some truth in them (To the point some even say this outcast nerd aspect is what inspired Peter Parker, Spiderman).

So the "Funko Pop crowd" image seems different from nerds that get picky over how their favorite media is handled.

Might come from a place of what if means to love something so much: 100% blind love that you like anything associated with it or wanting "the best" for it that you tend to have standards like a parent wishing their kids get a better future and don't throw it all away.

Of course, some nerds will still have silly complaints over stuff but it also seems like some people find it easier to be nerdy in the "blind loyalty" way than making interesting stuff out of their passion.

Some also argue whether or not "nerd culture" is that obscure because something like Star Wars was always massive.

But it's still interesting to learn how subcultures change because it's not just a matter of newcomers but even the old guard can change too.

Internet content

When people discuss why "content creator" is a bad term, they usually include the angle from the corporations: How they treat artists and their art.

Be it corporations labelling different art forms as "content" or treating it badly even if the art itself is good and gave them some revenue.

But there's at least 2 angles we shouldn't forget:

The "creators" themselves because for all the talented people that deserve better, there's always those with crappy stuff or zero talent that somehow get to win at times.

And the audiences because some people tend to have really bad taste and in massive scales.

Youtube is a good example when you look at its popular videos and "personalities": A bunch of people with no actual talent or charisma "gamefying"/taking advantage of a system and the clueless audiences that watch them because they don't know better.

It reminds me of why a medium like animation got less popular:

First, there's specific rules from Youtube such as the 10 minute mark and how it relates to income, which was something animators barely could handle.

Then there's the fact that people like to play videos while they do something else as if they're background noise (This doesn't apply to just podcasts or commentaries).

It's probably not a surprise that some people who worked on more creative mediums end up doing podcasts or LP channels.

And then you have smaller channels doing the "don't forget to like, subscribe and hit the bell" etc part because YT essentially became a race of success and less about passion or effort into quality content.

Some say YT became more about personalities than content but even then, you can tell that James Rolfe still has a more interesting personality than Logan Paul.

One can argue that some people do rely on YT for the sake of money so "clickbait is needed" but i also assume that anyone who's super into Doom could just discover content on their own.

Another thing about modern internet is chasing trends or when everyone has to talk about what's currently popular, leaving little room for novel topics or creativity.

Anyway

Each of these 3 sections could've been better but i brought up some points that serve as food for thought, so any more interesting observations/opinions/even trivia could be reached from reading this, hopefully.

I doubt Midnight would ever find this blog and read this post... but at least he'd have more interesting material to use for his videos i guess.

Gore and Fast-Paced Mayhem? Say Hello to Old-School FPS 'Brutal Fate'

While retro shooters aren't exactly a new thing, even ones built on the same tech that powered the classics (WRATH: Aeon of Ruin uses Quake tech, Ion Fury is powered by Build Engine, etc.), I do not recall ever seeing a brand new retail title that runs on modified Doom - as in, the 1993 original - tech. That is, until SGtMarkIV, creator of the awesome mod, Brutal Doom, revealed Brutal Fate, and it is already looking mighty spiffy!

En el vídeo que podéis ver a continuación, el responsable principal del trabajo, SgtMarkIV, presenta las muchas nuevas características que llegarán con esta versión, destacando la presencia de vehículos jugables como los tanques M1A4 Rhino, la incorporación de una mira telescópica con… Leer noticia completa y comentarios » from ElOtroLado.net http://ift.tt/2iLphBg via IFTTT

(via Brutal Doom 64 Update 1 - SGtMarkIV's enhanced Doom 64 gets a big update )

[srepgames]

Brutal Doom 64 se lanzará este próximo fin de semana -- Nuevo Trailer.

SGtMarkIV anunció que la primera versión de Brutal Doom 64 se lanzará finalmente este próximo 30 de octubre. Mientras esperamos  a  que  llegue el finde, podemos deleitarnos con un nuevo y brutal trailer.

Doom 64  es  un  port  no  tan  conocido  de Doom para la Nintendo 64. A diferencia de ports para otras consolas, Doom 64 es un juego completamente nuevo, que ofrece una gran variedad de nuevos niveles, texturas, sprites, enemigos, y una nueva trama que tiene lugar justo después de los acontecimientos de Doom 2, y este diagrama sugiere  fuertemente que es precuela de Doom 2016, ya que se considera una explicación razonable de cómo el Doom Marine quedó  atrapado en el infierno y se hizo conocido como el  Doom Slayer.  En  2003,  Samuel Villarreal  fue  capaz  de  extraer  todas  las  texturas, los sprites y los sonidos  de  la ROM N64 y fielmente recrear los niveles en el Doomsday Engine, creando así el Doom 64 Absolution TC, y  más  tarde  Doom 64 EX (un emulador de la ROM para PC). Doomsday Engine está hoy en día obsoleto, pero por suerte se logró portear con  éxito  todos  los mapas para trabajar en GZDoom.

Brutal Doom 64 tiene como objetivo principal el portear Doom 64 a los motores GZDoom y Zandronum. A diferencia de Doom 64 EX o Doom 64 Absolution el objetivo del proyecto no es hacer una relación 1:1 con  el  Doom 64  original,  sino  mejorarlo  en  todas las formas posibles, con más gore y armas, nuevos sonidos y efectos especiales que  mejora  enormemente  la  atmósfera  opresiva de Doom 64, e intentar incluir todo el contenido  eliminado del juego original, debido al poco espacio de los cartucho para N64.
