Poke! I made a Doom 3 mod called UltraViolence. Check my channel - I have nothing else up, just the mod. Features chainsaw loot drops, dashing, tri-fire, new monsters, a summonable soul-cube, and more. Sorry I don't tweet/etc! Not sure where else to poke you. I've followed you on and off for awhile and LOVE your commitment to user-generated content. Doom 3 never got any "quality" attention and I'm convinced UltraViolence is the first "Doom-like" mod for Doom 3 that actually improves the game. I played it 4 times over, which is rare - I don't usually play the things I make, lol... I realize it's not exactly a "retro" game and am not asking you for a video feature -- but go ahead and review/tear it apart if you think the mod is good enough and you enjoy it! I have nothing to gain and hope that anyone who stumbles on the mod finds it fun.

[@lanereynolds4567]

Does civvie know about this mod? This seems like something he should know about... and be made to play through.

[@trustnoone81]

"Doood" got me good. Sat there laughing for a good 30 seconds.

[@PiousMoltar]

Same! Well, no, actually, I chuckled once. Inside my head. Which is about the most you can get out of me these days.

Thanks mr Icarus for the video, very appreciated

[@TheMarcAPullen]

Incredible work!

[@RangeTeaGaming]

Curious question, when and if are you doing the heretic inclusion on the story?

[@BloomTeam666]

​@@RangeTeaGaming Hi, we're thinking in a future, make a second "episode" but instead following the classic doom style we are thinking to make some kind of hud portal like Quake's Arcane Dimension, and make a continue flow on updates adding new maps to the formula, doing the things as this way we're not forced to work during years to make some new content. This new maps would be not only focus in a blood/doom/hexen/heretic also we could work for snow themed maps, or spider (web) liar themed maps etc....

[@karisasani7006]

@@BloomTeam666 The ending clues me episode two hexen/heretic joins in. Maybe episode 3 scythe as well

When you're too angry to die, but don't want to rip and tear alone.

[@theabsolutelycursedsprout9308]

now my headcanon for doomguy is that his way of communicating is via reloading/firing various weapons in his arsenal (minus the BFG for... obvious reasons)

[@eglewether5523]

flow of these maps is really impressive, it can get bit confusing at times, especially with backtracking across whole map in some levels, but it would be cool to see such smooth transitions and teleports in some big budget game ...

[@wrenbeck3370]

The view-sprite for the UAC Tesla Rifle looks like a modified the bayonet rifle from early versions of Doom. Edit: also the hedge maze in the pit map having a bunch of tech stuff meshed into it is really cool!

[@NineteenInFrench]

That bayonet really is unmistakable

Had a lot of fun with this mod. Quality work with great attention to detail. So grateful for such people. I donated a couple of bucks and you should, too :D

[@bloodrunsclear]

I can see Doomslayer and Caleb teaming up. I know Stephan Weyte (the voice actor for Caleb) too so he'd probably re-voice him!

[@Ozziw162]

Sorry for maybe going slightly off-topic. Don't know what it is, but you sound more relaxed in this video. Or, your voice sounds more relaxed, like you aren't putting as much strain on it. I like it, chill vibes all around.

20:52 - This part glitched out for me and I was stuck wallhumping for a good hour before I just decided to pistol start it and realized the switch was supposed to open the door, after you kill the bosses. (The part where IL turned around.) Very nice.

[@MDK-fo7jw]

The soundtrack and the style is the best part of this mod. I could go into detail, but you could also just read the reviews on the mod page.

[@captain0080]

You can tell Icarus Jr. is sleeping while Icarus is editing the vid.

[@FORTEtheSECOND]

*Thank You* for all your hard work and the kickass content, gentleman. Sendin' Good Vibes and Ninja Pirates your way! :D

[@MDK-fo7jw]

26:20 - I also feel that doom guy lacks a healing weapon like the Life Leech, which makes fighting bulletsponge enemies a bit of a pain in the ass.

[@giannisc.5254]

Mr. Icarus i just wanted to say thank you for bringing these mods to our attention, i wouldn't have known most of them if it weren't for you !

[@Currrby]

the death drops in the early levels frustrated me to no end. luckily, it gets better

[@DurradonXylles]

Glad to see you finally cover Bloom, excellent video as always. I already asked this in a previous video's comment section, but since you asked for future Mod Madness video suggestions, I'll simply restate my desire to see you play Doom 32x Resurrection since it's an awesome overhaul of the Sega 32x port that adds a bunch of much needed touch ups and QoL feautres. If you need emulator recommendations, it plays well on Kega Fusion, PicoDrive, and Bizhawk.

[@aliceinmansonland448]

I installed this the minute that it dropped, and I was blown away! The demo was one thing, but the entire game was something I had been watching and waiting for for a long time! The floor tiles at the beginning killed me right away, but I finally got the hang of it. FYI, you can create a portable version by installing Delta Touch on an Android phone and pairing it with a Bluetooth controller.

[@xilpes6254]

Does it need the newest version to work?

[@Xaero188]

The mod got an update and most complaints in the video were actually implemented. Example being in the pits when activating the door that opens the room in front of the mansion, the gate now opens along with it minimizing back tracking.

Would like to add for anyone that wants to try this mod out, I had to go into the Full Options in the options menu to be able to even access the Bloom settings. There's not a lot there, but it might just have the one or two toggles you were looking for.

06:52 I'm sure this is a reference to something I've seen a while ago, but I can't quite remember. One of those 'change dimension/time travel and get a nosebleed' tropes. Maybe the film 12 Monkeys?

[@MDK-fo7jw]

26:50 - The Nightmare mode disables respawning enemies, if you want to take it a step further. It's quite do-able, honestly. I'd have to check what the difference between it and Extra Crispy is.

[@Exuprince]

Brilliant mod, simply brilliant

[@michealpersicko9531]

The reason is you don't get teleported from fall in containment butchery is if the map was actually in Blood you would fall, die, and hope you saved before you did or you're starting the level over with the pistol.

[@lewislewis3531]

Blood would meld well with Hexen. Quietus akimbo? Summoning a dark servant to smash some hellhounds? Chucking dynamite at the Heresiarch?

[@RMJ1984]

I am so surprised that this project actually got done without getting shutdown by cease and desist!. it's not very often you see companies allow stuff from their games being used in other games. Even if its a free mod.

[@kapparomeo]

My favourite part of this mod is actually the between-level map. That's such a rare feature, Doom 1's sense of place was actually substantially better than Doom 2's and one instance where the original was best.

23:05 - Yes, for me too, I thought my gzdoom version was fucked, but, nope? ? ? Could be the telefrag though, the mastermind didn't spawn for me on 3 attempts, either.

[@ColonelSandersLite]

Pretty sure it's not a telefrag. If that was the case, end boss would teleport in and frag the arachno romeros. IMHO, it's certainly a scripting bug of some sort.

[@xirlos7013]

Okay, so, found this: - ¼ cup olive oil (60 mL) - 1 large onion, chopped - 3 large carrots, sliced - 4 stalks celery, chopped - kosher salt, to taste - black pepper, to taste - 3 cloves garlic, chopped - 8 cups chicken broth (2 L) - 8 oz egg noodles (225 g) - 4 cups shredded chicken breast (500 g) - ½ cup fresh parsley (10 g), chopped - parmesan cheese, shredded, to taste 1. Heat the olive oil until shimmering over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cooking, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes. 2. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock and bring to a boil. 3. MAKE AHEAD: Do not add the noodles or parsley. Cool and refrigerate the soup in an airtight container for four days, or in the freezer for up to two months. Reheat on the stove and add the noodles and parsley just before serving. 4. Add the noodles and cook 6 minutes, then add the chicken and cook about 2 minutes more, until the noodles are cooked through and the chicken is warmed through. 5. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the parsley. Serve topped with Parmesan. Sound good?

Have you guys played the Ghostbusters PC game from like 2009 or so? There are these ghost realm levels that have designs like this. Really fun game, I recommend it to anyone. It's actually the 3rd part of the Ghostbusters story that never got made into a movie, so they made it into a game.

INGREDIENTS 1 chicken, skin removed 2 L water 2 onions, chopped 4 leeks, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 2 turnips, chopped 2 celery stalks and tops, chopped 2 bay leaves 3 cloves 6 black peppercorns 200 g small pasta shapes COOKING INSTRUCTIONS Place all the ingredients into a saucepan except the pasta. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer until the chicken meat falls off the bone. It will take about 1 hour. Strain and reserve the liquid and spoon off any of the excess chicken fat. Chop the chicken into small pieces and add back to the soup liquid. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Serve with crusty bread. Enjoy :D it serves 4, or one hungry Doomer
