DOOM NIGHT. And some sculpture.

Posted by Praying Mantis on March 18, 2011, 2:15 a.m.

I've never played the original DOOM before, and recently remembered that it was most imperative that I do so, so I bought the original DOOM on Steam, and tonight I'm loading up on snacks, finding a comfortable place to sit, prepping a music playlist for while I play the game, and getting ready to a gaming jam, experiencing the highly acclaimed classic.

I got Fraps installed, and will be taking some screenies of my adventure :D

I'm super pumped.

Also, I meant to continue my blog post of recently played games, yesterday, but got caught up. Expect the reviews to continue Saturday arvo.

Here's some sculpture I've done before, both fairly old, and both first attempts at the medium.

The first metallic fellow was done for an art assignment, in which we had to make a sculpture from recycled materials found at the dump.

The second, is a plaster of paris carving, done over the course of 4(?) weeks. As far as I know it was my first attempt, and even though it lacks astute detail, I think it looks ok :P

That's some pretty legit sculpting, always wanted to try some.

Make a playthrough blog :D

Doom is really, really addictive. I only played through it seriously a year ago or so, though it was one of the "modern" engine versions (zdoom or one of the other something-dooms), and it hooked me up for a few days (until my sanity could no longer handle the repeating monster roar sounds). I can only imagine the destruction it must have sown back in 1994.

That's some pretty neat-o shit right there. The composition of the paris carving could use improvement, but again it's your first time with it. The metal sculpture's sick though, keep it up.

Thanks, I have a still have a whole bag of plaster of paris, but haven't done anything with it :S

Also, I've taken a bunch of pics, so I'll start off a playthrough tomorrow maybe, but mind you, my DOOM night ended up being a portal night, after I ragequit DOOM :3
