[@binarypench]

what is the reference

[@Dylan-Quincy]

Charles H. There was an ad ages ago for the windows 95 (I think) featuring bill gates in a coat superimposed into doom, it was meant to advertise the windows 95 as a gaming computer. The timestamp is the background he was imposed onto

[@binarypench]

@@Dylan-Quincy i just remembered that!

[@binarypench]

@@Dylan-Quincy yeah

[@usagijojo]

It's funny how your 100% playthrough of the entire first episode of Doom is only a little bit longer than the average levels of Hell Revealed 1 & 2.

[@Razgard]

My thoughts exactly.

[@jeremiasastorga8399]

Anyone else find that classic Doom maps are strangely cool? Like, they have an air of simplicity to them that makes them really satisfactory. Maybe it's just nostalgia.

[@abyssalAnalyst]

Yeah, I feel the same. In fact, I don't really like DOOM II and modded stuff that much because I lack that strange feeling that I get while playing the classic DOOM. Its level design shows creative, but very careful approach to the map building. Feels like a very tight pack of something really nice. Heretic and Hexen also have the same vibe, as I can remember.

[@Koistork]

That's the good old Romero level design charm that wasn't in much of Doom II, With Sandy and all.

...Fast monsters, and pistol start every level. And here I thought I was pretty good because I play on vanilla Ultra Violence. Apparently I still have much to master.

[@dudejo]

I heard once that every level was designed to be playable from a pistol start

[@wolfkermek]

@@dudejo they are, because if you die you restart the level with nothing, they wanted you to still be able to beat each level

[@ABCodeX]

​@@wolfkermekThat was meant only as a challenge though, because Doom was primarily designed with a DND-like progression system where you keep getting better weapons. They primarily expected you to save. Pistol start was meant as a challenge. I also think that Doom 1 was designed with keyboard only accessibility despite mouse being an option, which is why Doom 2 is harder.

[@wolfkermek]

@@ABCodeX No, it's because in the original DooM version, there was no saving of any kind. If you died, you had nothing.

[@ABCodeX]

@@wolfkermek Maybe on older consoles, but I'm pretty sure that Doom on good old DOS had saving. The pistol start thing was because level designers had to account for the fact that players may not always have the weapons they need to beat the levels.

There is a switch in the baron closet? Wow, mindblown.

It's not like watching a TV show, but I think we're almost there (it is often even better).

@imuglierthanyou it was a military veteran who requested that the swastika be removed actually.

[@mresturk9336]

@@krustin Apparently it was a WWII veteran whose letter was so polite and well spoken that it really moved the Id Software devs. They decided since it the vetern was so respectful in making his point that they'd return the respect and change it.

However I do play occasionally with one mod: *Beautiful Doom.* I like seeing the better weapon animations.

[@xMrGreeneJeansx]

I finished all your fast monsters playthroughs and am going back and watching this again. Knee Deep in the Dead is my "home" when it comes to Doom. Played the demo version of Doom 95 on Windows 95 back around 25 years ago. Only came with this episode. Played it through at least 50 times. I remember seeing friends playing Doom 2 and using things like the SSG and fighting Revenants. I didnt know the difference between Doom 2 and the first one. I spent a ton of time looking for all secret areas because I was certain the SSG or those Doom 2 exclusive demons were in Knee Deep *somewhere.* It was a fruitless search but still some of the most fun I've ever had with video games. :)

[@korbindallas4787]

Great job, I've never seen this fast mode before. I love these 100% play throughs you've been posting, its inspired me to try to do pistol starts in other FPS games, so far I've attempted Duke Nukem 20th anniversary edition but I had to lower the difficulty cause I'm a bit out of practice!

Keep in mind that most games are not built around pistol starts. Doom is because you lose your guns when you die.

I never realized there was a switch in the Baron room on the final level.

[@Smokecall]

9:56 I never knew you could hit the switch from that height and angle

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

@@killaken2000 There **is** height in Doom, just some things don't care about height, such as the ability to hit switches from any height. Doom is a 3D game but a limited form of 3D, so no rooms over rooms (even if the Wikipedia article claims it's 2.5D, it's mostly refering to objects being 2D sprites). One example of Doom being 3D is projectiles can fly over your head. Another example would be just use your eyes! The game clearly has an X, Y and Z axis.

[@MMedi]

I'm loving these my dude! Keep up the good work

[@ChusenOne]

Has to be more secrets on one single Doom level than the whole Hell Revealed 1 and 2 together

[@AtomizerX]

I love how you just casually have all the secrets memorized. I mean I'm sure you play the original Doom/Quake games pretty regularly, but still.

[@GroundMemory]

I've played Episode One of Doom so many times (thanks to the shareware demo from back in the day) and I've literally never found that secret at 25:25. Today was the first time I've even seen it.

[@leopignataro]

Way to go, Decino! Glad you've found a challenging way to play the classic Doom. Hoping for episodes 2-4! BTW, it seems like yesterday you were celebrating 1K subscribers, it's wonderful to see your growth! Congratulations!

[@ElSpudman]

It's nice to watch Decino play maps I actually have a working knowledge of for a change.

[@vali6717]

Nice to finally have a ‘guide’ to the secrets I have always missed in E1. I always get turned around and spending a lot of time wandering lost in one of these maps so it’s cathartic seeing someone not get turned around by it. I might even go back and give Doom a shot again, though I will probably be using mouse aim for comfort.

[@harbingerdawn]

Me: "Did you say 'turbo pinky', or 'terrible pinky'?" Decino: "Yes"

decino Excellent. Yeah you’re probably right, Final Doom with fast monsters is quite tough, especially Map11 of Plutona, god that would be a nightmare

[@decino]

More worried about TNT's map 8 and 9!

[@Zelousmarineinspace]

Oh yeah, I remember that. More familiar with Plutona than TNT. But yeah that would be an amazing challenge to beat Final Doom this way. Wish you the best of luck if you ever decide to undertake the challenge!

I'll always hold The Ultimate Doom as the best. It blows my mind how something can be, honestly, so bland, yet still be so memorable.

Well now... Just wanted to have a little fun on KZbin and since it's been a long time of me playing Doom I tried my luck and you popped up. I'm just to inform you that you got an instant sub from me 😃 I absolutely love your "bored" commentary like "Here's the difficult part" and the calmness when you lose like 150hp in a snap. Like really? Playing on fast ultra violence? And you fly trough the first act in 45 minutes? Last time I played like that it took me almost a day 🤣 Looking forward to see more from you... Just give me time 😉 Also... It's been a time that I heard the sound of a zombieman turning into a puddle of piss by an exploding barrel 🤣😂🤣 I love it! 🧨 Great job! 👍 Keep 'em comin' 😎

[@Gargantupimp]

I also played with ultra violence and fast, but with tons of saving and no pistol start. It was a great challenge but some sections were really hard and hit scan enemies were really difficult. I'm going through Doom 2 now and it's much harder. I'm looking forward to you playing Doom 2.

[@aliencatcrew3336]

Last morning, 3:30 am im watching this and playing the game. 0:15 i shot a shotgun zombie in that spot and he WENT UP THE STAIRS. Literally fell, and the animation forced the corpse to go up the stairs. In my 26 years of doom, that happens so rarely. I wonder if you can do a video on that? What causes some enemies to die in place, or fall all over. I find it strangely satisfying knowing their is some type of randomness to enemy death. Kill 5 guys on a higher area, and their is always that 1 enemy that goes flying either down the stairs, up the stairs, off of a cliff, or out a window. Can u figure that out?? I love this game!!!!

The strange E1M2 imp at 3:26 looks to me like somebody who wanted to survive the deadly Decino chaingun by jumping out of the window… (It was strange. At 2.55 the imp clearly threw fireballs from near the top of the stairs. It looks like a glitch I never saw before. But it wasn't a glitch, and it wasn't something supernatural. By viewing the video with 25% speed it is possible to see the imp in the outside area, visible for only two frames at around 3:13. He must have walked down the stairs in an attempt to follow the player. Fast monsters are fast.)

I clicked so fast (pun intended!) when I saw this come up.

So I was curious and wanted to revisit how long I've been watching your videos, Decino, so I went back and looked for the first non analysis video of yours I watched (since I made it a habit of mine to watch all analysis videos, no matter when they were released lol). Turns out, it was this one. I've been subbed to your channel for almost four years! And I gotta say, you've become such a good player since 2019 (not that you were ever bad lol, but progress definitely shows)! That, and it is so odd hearing your commentary from years past versus now (the microphone quality is the most obvious difference) Idk, it's late and I thought about making a random comment before I went to sleep. Just wanted to say, I hope you keep making great videos and look forward to your future playthroughs!

@Decino, as soon as I heard you said that the fiery projectiles would travel much faster, I thought about the Hell Knights. Imps could be a bigger problem than normal, and why would be the Hell Knights be different? Specters and Pinkies traveling at much higher velocity can be a bigger threat than normal.

Not sure if anyone really cares, but if you go back and watch at slower speeds, you can just BARELY see the imp as decino is heading back inside, having wandered outside while he was dealing with the shotgunners, probably because he was hanging back so far to avoid getting scammed by the shotties at close range. The imp is visible for barely a frame as decino runs back in.
