Got Xara on my new computer (thanks, dad!) so anyway here's a project I've been working on for a while; custom versions of the UAC logo from Doom, some of which are based on existing designs, and some of which are custom! I made them partially because I thought it would be fun, and partially for my custom Doom mods and mapsets (check out @wjbminecraft-mods for stuff about those)

Annotated version below.

Standard (based on one of the computer textures)

Silhouette

Wide (based on one of the big door textures)

SHAWN3

Crate (based on the crate textures)

SHAWN1

Old (based on this sprite-sheet released by John Romero in 2014)

UAAF (based on the above sprite-sheet)

Doom 64 (based on the barrel sprite from Doom 64)

Doom 3 (heavily simplified to remove the holes and weird frame)

2016

Retro (heavily inspired by the 1970s Aperture Science logo)

Modern

1920s

Doomed Worlds - Interval 32a

IWAD: Plutonia 2 (2008) a 32-level megawad for The Plutonia Experiment. Compatibility: Vanilla Screenshots: Used Nugget Doom source port The failure of the Quantum Accelerator to seal the Gates of Hell and stop a second invasion led to an investigation exposing the UAC's unethical use of gateway technology, putting its surviving officials in prison. The company's assets were divested and transferred to the Union Aerospace Armed Forces (UAAF), a new security force formed to protect our dimension from Hell. To do so, it developed an improved replacement for the Quantum Accelerator called the Hallion Collider. The skeptical press dubbed it "Plutonia 2" in reference to the original incident. While all was well at first, the UAAF was eventually accused by many colonies of abuse of authority, leading the UAAF to be destabilized by guerilla warfare and political games.

Doom's protagonist was one of the founding leaders of the UAAF, but was forced to resign thanks to allegations of excessive force while supervising an ex-UAC colony. Nevertheless, having not enjoyed his previous job, he used his freedom to try to solve the conflicts within the UAAF, proposing "Operation Kick-ass" when the situation spiraled out of control. At the same time, however, a study was published finding that frequent use of UAC Berserk packs, Medikits and Stimpacks could cause psychosis and paranoia in those suffering severe trauma. The protagonist's opponents used it to destroy his reputation, ostracizing him from politics.

As a result, the internal strife worsened. One day, reports came of Hellspawn invading parts of the Earth once more, with the factions of the UAAF accusing each other of sabotage and espionage or blaming the UAAF itself. The conflict has now devolved into all-out war pitting human versus human, human versus demon, and demon versus demon.

Refusing to idle while Hell wreaks havoc on our dimension, the protagonist, armed with only his pistol, tracks down a teleporter to the Amazonian jungle and takes on Hell alone.

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2009): Plutonia 2

I lived… but at what cost?

G10: Plutonia 2

Main author(s): Various

Release date: December 31st, 2008

Version(s) played: ???

Required port compatibility: Vanilla

Levels: 33 (standard roster + bonus MAP33)

Hey, guys! Remember Plutonia!? Not enough Hoovies and skeletons in your life?! Well, you just hit a jackpot, because there is an answer for your problems ==> Plutonia 2.

cheering children

18+ only. No refunds.

But seriously, folks. We are going to end 2009 and the 2000s overall (at least when it comes to Cacowards winners) with the unofficial sequel to the Plutonia Experiment. That actually requires the original Plutonia WAD to properly play (I forgot to mention that).

From what I’ve gathered, the project started around 2000/2001; led by Sam Woodman, who we already met in many other WADs like Nimrod and Hell Revealed II. It was canceled around 2004, then uncanceled in 2007 to finally be released at the very end of 2008.

After the events of the first Plutonia, the UAC has been dismantled and (more or less) remade into UAAF, with Doomguy marked as one of the main founders. Later, he was forced to resign from his position (he didn't mind), and even after proposing a legitimate plan to cool down the tension between UAAF and the colonies they supervise, he gets slandered even more by his haters with some science study bullshit claiming that using health items will turn you into the inmate of R/Batmanarkham. Then the same idiots start fighting each other instead of focusing on the demons that came back (what a surprise; although, they sometimes fight with them).

I’m starting to thing that only Doomguy (and other individuals) is the only one in his timeline that has triple digits IQ.

Oh, well. Let’s get into the WAD.

For a vanilla WAD, and despite focusing on its predecessor’s shenanigans, Plutonia 2 looks great most of the time. The best-looking maps I can think of are Black Ice and Plutopia. The former because it changes the scenery from the typical brown and green shit trying to resemble a tropical jungle to some icy background, and the latter for being full of funny details and fleshy stuff, courtesy of Thomas van der Velden.

Musically is also great. This is some of the earlier works of Stewboy and Jimmy Paddock (two out of three main composers), and their tracks even then felt like fire, especially Jimmy’s (take one good listen at Astral Dreadnought and Slime Dweller and see what I mean). There is also stuff made by Jamie Robertson; these ones are also good. I think I saw people mostly talking about End is Nigh, and while I consider this track to be good, I believe there are better ones in this WAD.

Not all of the tracks are new, though, but at least the stocks are from Doom I.

Most of the time, Plutonia the Second wasn’t that convoluted to play through. Sure, there are maps that might as well be described as mangled to the arse (usually from Adolf Vojta from what I can remember), wasting your time even when you somewhat know where to go next, but I think around half of these maps aren’t confusing as shit.

While many maps tend to be more or less a fresh idea, there are maps that reference the ones from the original experiment, ranging from one location to the entire map. Although, many times, it also comes with cons that plagued the original maps. Take a look at Ticket to Eternity for instance – it’s like the same mess of a demonic city as Odyssey of Noises except feeling more like a mangled mosh pit than before.

There is some cool stuff that happens in this WAD from time to time. The best one I think is in Cosmodrome, with a spaceship getting ready to take off.

Cybernation and Go 4 It are basically Cyberden and Go 2 It on steroids; with Eternal making you fight two siege cows instead of one after pressing the main switch on the former map, while the latter map is made out of DWANGO1 and E1M1 instead of the original Entryway (plus the music track feels like a mix between Nobody Told Me About ID and one of the tracks from RotT (I can’t remember the name of it)). It even ends on a really dope-looking logo… that defaults down into another icon of shit.

Speaking of icon of shit, the Gatewatcher is what you can expect from another, below-average MAP30 with a boss. For a supposed elder brother of both icon of sin and gate keeper, he’s basically more annoying shit we saw already… At least he looks great.

If you take one look at the WAD’s name, you already know what to expect from it. Prepare to have your balls ripped off by an armada of spooky skeletons and then turned into Swiss cheese by hoovies.

Now, to be perfectly honest, despite at least 13 maps feeling like a speedrunner’s delight of masochistic tendencies (courtesy of Adolf Vojta, partial or complete), I felt numb to the WAD’s difficulty for around the first half of it. I believe there are WADs (like Scythe 2 and Deus Vult II for instance) released before Plutonia 2 that would make this WAD pale in comparison to what those had to offer.

Also, going back to Gusta of Czechia, something in me makes me feel like he was a weak link to this WAD. I don’t want to slander him, nor his work for this project, but usually, when I played the map not made by him, solo or with someone, the enjoyment of playing the maps went up twice at least (not to mention even bigger respect for maps who end up hard with a small number of enemies). In the case of Gusta’s maps, I felt like, while good-looking, they mostly relied on throwing random shit at you from every direction, with next to no cover that wasn’t the previous area. That, and almost all of the maps starting with you surrounded by enemies… Fair fun for everyone… sigh

There were a few bugs that I saw, but those were mostly visual stuff, like holes to the void, or awkwardly placed items.

And, uh… that’s basically all I have to say for this WAD. I can honestly recommend Plutonia 2 to people who enjoyed the original Plutonia WAD, and/or are into really hard WADs. Other than that, you can freely skip it.

And we are almost done with 2009, not to mention 2000s of Doom WADs. The only things left are Revenant Awards, and a couple of other WADs not mentioned in Cacowards, nor other award stuff from Doomworld.

See you next time.

Speaking of Doom lore, one thing i don't think was ever officially referenced in the series is the UAAF ("United Aerospace Armed Forces").

Which would be the name of the official UAC military from the Doom Bible.

There is a Romero tweet where he uses the term:

"It's DOOM's 27th birthday! Some trivia: DOOM was id Software's 20th game. The automap almost had an Asteroids easter egg. The Baron of Hell bosses were called the Bruiser Brothers. The United Aerospace Armed Forces (UAAF) enforces UAC interests. DOOM was made on NeXTSTEP OS"

I also know that the wad Plutonia 2 references UAAF by using the name in some wall textures or at least a door texture, from what i remember.

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas break! Just a reminder our regular hours will resume today (Thursday) from 10:30-6:00. We’re going to try and stay open on Tuesdays as well so our success in permanently extending our regular hours depends on the support we receive from our local customers. And can I just say THANK YOU to all of my friends that helped support me and my business through our busiest holiday season yet! I was able to keep up on shipping and getting orders out within record time , keep up with production a little more and save my sanity. And we couldn’t have managed any of it without our local community and distant supporters ! You may have noticed we didn’t have our regular DeZENber event this year. Sometimes with events more money is spent on advertising, food , beverages, and extra help that it makes it hard to justify after everything has been totaled up. What I would like to do instead is donate a portion of sales from our last week of 2019 to @utahanimaladvocacyfoundation , and this includes online sales as well. Please spread the word so we can donate more to the rescue than having to spend it on advertising. For those of you that aren’t familiar with #UAAF, they’re a rescue near and dear to my heart and helped me get started with fostering with my first foster cat , Pete ( #streetpete ) years ago. Pete and later on , Dharma ended up with one of my good friends , in the best home ever , being spoiled rotten as they should. . I’ll be in this shop this week on Thursday and Saturday with loads of new crystals both days , so come say hello , support a good cause and check out all the new sparklies.

Uac report file shto36u3 doom wiki

Past colleagues of Olivia's have noted that this behavior may just mean that she has something spectacular to reveal in the near future. She is rarely seen outside of the lab and no longer attends board meetings or any UAC press events. Since moving to Mars she has become a recluse, cutting off friends and family to focus on her secretive work on the Lazarus Project. She was known to have been an avid world traveler, served a 2-year tour of duty with the Global Science Council, and even spent time serving as a missionary in South America - which she noted was a "spiritual but frivolous pilgrimage". A few weeks later, she accepted the offer and became the leader of the Lazarus Project, working directly under Samuel Hayden.īefore joining the UAC, Olivia was open to discussion about her endeavors and beliefs. A former colleague of Olivia's at NanoStruct stated that Samuel sent her an artifact recovered near the Argent Fracture, after which she became obsessed with joining the UAC. She relinquished a position of sizeable power and control to work at an isolated outpost 140 million miles from earth. When Olivia did finally leave NanoStruct it came as a shock to the scientific community. Olivia refused, citing that she had no interest in "the energy business." Olivia's career blossomed, and Samuel eventually offered her the freedom to design and run her own cutting edge laboratory by joining the UAC. Olivia made her fortune as one of the founders of the NanoStruct Aerospace & Defense Systems, in part thanks to a sizeable donation from Samuel. He sponsored her during her formal graduation, and was the driving force behind her promotion to the Global Science Council. Olivia refuses any pain management medication for fear it will cloud her mind. Although the exoskeleton allows Olivia to stand and move on her own, it causes excruciating pain. After several months in seclusion Olivia reappeared on her feet with a new titanium exoskeleton grafted into her spinal column. Given the option of being permanently wheelchair bound or undergoing an experimental augmentation procedure, Olivia chose the surgery. The cause of this deformation is unknown. A few months after arriving at the Argent Facility, Olivia was diagnosed with acute idiopathic scoliosis. Educated at Strasbourg with a first class honors degree in Biomechanics and Genetics, she joined her former mentor Samuel Hayden on Mars to head up the Lazarus Project. erroneously refers to the Combat shotgun as the Super shotgun.Olivia Pierce is the Head of Biochemical research at the Argent Facility.claims that over 60,000 employees work in the Argent Facility.The final section provides various dos and don'ts whilst on the job in a humorous tone.

What is Tei Tenga?

The bases on the planet Tei Tenga used to be the glory posts, but lack of progress with the research has cased money to be funneled away to the point of its current staff – a group of dedicated, almost messianic scientists and a skeleton crew of security people.

When you play the first Doom, right away in the Hangar level is a computer room just after the first area that has this texture displayed on one of the screens. You can just barely make out the words Tei Tenga on it.

Doom doesn't take place on Tei Tenga. Rather, the game takes place on the very real moons of Mars and the biblical underworld of Hell. Tei Tenga doesn't exist in the manuals or the story text, and is only referenced in computer monitors.

So what is Tei Tenga?

Before the game was created, it had a design document where a lot of pre-development content was written that never made it into the game, mostly about the story of Doom. This document is the Doom Bible and you can find it here: http://5years.doomworld.com/doombible/

Section 7 details the story of Episode 1 of Doom as it was originally planned, which takes place on Tei Tenga, a giant fictional moon.

You are a soldier in the UAAF (United Aerospace Armed Forces) assigned to the secondary military research base on the darkside of the giant moon Tei Tenga (nicknamed “the Butt End of Space”).

A lot of the remaining information about episode one is largely the same as it ended up being, but the rest of the story and a large amount of the content in the document itself were cut entirely.

Tei Tenga represents what Doom might have been, for better or worse, if the team at id didn’t take the hard-line stance famously summed up by John Carmack:

“Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important.”

Whether or not John was right, the careless attitude of the Demon Slayer towards the story present in Doom 2016 is a surprisingly refreshing callback to a simpler time in gaming.

Sweet Harriet was a foster of mine a couple years ago and recently returned to @uaaf but I can't understand why. I had no issues with her and wonder if it's because she's not a kitten anymore. She's up for adoption again and I'd love to see her adopted in the purrfect furever home ❤ #uaaf #knut #rescue #slc (at PetSmart)
