PRO WOLFENSTEIN 3D
Added 2021-03-03 16:36:51 +0000 UTC
Everyone keeps asking "how can you get enough material out of Wolfenstein 3D for a video?"
Well, for one, playing with a stupid self-imposed challenge helps. People don't realize that there are some tricks and traps in Wolf3D that are interesting to discuss. Some levels aren't just mazes. In fact, the more mazelike ones are in Spear of Destiny and moreso in the Spear of Destiny mission packs. And I was still very paranoid about this video being boring to the point that I hired the services of a certain well-known voice actor who is all over the retro fps community for a short bit that's probably the best joke in the video.
I ended up cutting a bunch of stuff out (which you'll all see next time there's a "cut content/behind the scenes" video). I took about four minutes out of this video and some of it just didn't work with the flow and some of it just wasn't all that funny or interesting. I'm hoping to get Postal 4 Wednesday up after this, followed by the April Fool's video, which I would like to get up publicly on April 1st, but we'll see how that goes. It might be slightly later. You'll understand why when you see it. It required some special attention.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.
Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list.
This might be too late but I've recently discovered "The Official Hint Book" ™ for wolf 3d: https://wl6.fandom.com/wiki/Official_Wolfenstein_3D_Hint_Book Seems like most of your suffering was Tom Hall with Romero making the deathtraps. Wild is that 2 levels were actually designed by Bobby Prince.

So they just dropped the new doom eternal xpac! When do we get blindfolded pro doom eternal? I’d donate to see that at AGDQ!

Reinstalled Wolf3D because of this video, and started up a mod called "Coming of the Storm" that's got interesting level designs and does a good job with atmosphere (might be a few scares involved, too). It's got new weapons and enemies. A tip: Keep an eye out for Snipers from the word "Go".
Look up the port to LZWolf (an ECWolf fork) if you want to run it outside of DOS. Worth the effort in setting up.

Wait... So the Dark Lord in Doom Eternal is BJ Blazkowicz in the I Am Death Incarnate difficulty setting. Makes sense!

If people feel insulted about hating actual Nazis, it's on them. But i was a bit >:( when he attacked the doggos, those don't discriminate and are all good boys (ok maybe not the ones in COD:WaW).

Game music is kind of a grey area in terms of copyright. I haven't questioned it since Lee Jackson doesn't seem to care.

Hey Civvie it just hit me. Why don't you get in trouble for using Triad music for the intro/outro?
2021-03-05 23:13:12 +0000 UTC
It was a necessary edit

When Aldo says Nazis you spell it "gnatsees" in the CC. Well played.

I never noticed how goofy the mutants are in this, what with with the giant handguns protruding from their chests that they shoot by sieg heil'ing.

Nah, Wolf3D is an easy one for me because there is a bunch of weirdness to talk about. It's janky and has less purposeful design than Doom and of the 60 levels, there are about a dozen that are truly unique and play with the limited tools.
The hardest games to make videos on are the DOS trash, like Capstone games or The Varginha Incident are so bizarre that I find myself booting the game up again and again to reproduce the weirdness I experienced and trying to figure out if it's an issue with the game or the emulation. If I sound genuinely frustrated in a video, it's because I am.

Hey Civvie, what have been the hardest games to makes videos for? Is Wolf3D one of them? The game seems just primitive enough to cause problems in that department.

I thought New Colossus had a weak ending and worse level design than TNO, but didn't deserve the hate it received. It's still a damn fine shooter.

Great video, I learned a lot, like don't bring a rocket launcher to a hitscan fight!

So, funny story about this game - there's a browser version you can play. My old job sucked and they laid me and my staff off during the pandemic, just to rehire us six months later in a bid to avoid paying furlough (yeah I know). As my revenge, I stood at the till playing Wolfenstein 3D for hours every day because fuck them. Honestly really liked playing that way too!

Also shame on you Civvie for not playing it on the New Colossus in-game emulator, Wolfstone3D...
I finished Wolfstone3D :(

Original Castle Wolfenstein doesn't get enough love. Someone needs to remake it again without that FUCKING CHEST TIMER

I was personally too young to play the shareware of wolfenstien and for some reason my parents didn't want me playing it when I was young but Duke Nukem 3D was perfectly fine

Already sorry for your comment Section there. Like you just know the Shitheels are gonna be pissed about you NOT liking Nazis. Love the Video though. I played through it last on my damn phone. Killing facists beats Candy Crush any day!

Is DOOM 3 RoE ever happening? I just fired it up to try and remember why I always put it down and I was reminded right around the time I grabbed the super shotgun.

There was a cathartic release knowing that 6-7 wasn't just the bane of MY existence. Two months ago I decided to replay Wolf 3D, doing it casually on Bring 'Em On, and for all of February I was stuck on 6-7. I played with ECWolf, I had the map to go from, but my own self-imposed challenge of no saves except at the start of a map made it a royal bitch. I beat it a week ago, but fuck 6-7.
Still have a fondness for this game, the first shareware title I can remember little me playing.

I love this. I hope there's a Spear of Destiny follow-up coming. I always thought the secret level and end boss of that game was so cool for its time.

I didn't know people could register shareware! P.S. I'm amazed you didn't do a ye olde beetlejuice as the fuhers miniguns shoot from the center not from the barrels lol

The secret is having the footage recorded before the previous video goes up. And getting Gianni.
