I got back into doom in the last few years and there's a huge number of amazing maps people have made over the years you can play for free. I had no idea about the total conversion wads, where it doesn't even feel like doom because everything has been changed.

If anyone's looking for a good place to start you can check out the yearly cacoward winners

My_House.wad has been making the rounds on YouTube semi-recently as an example of the sort of fuckery that has been made possible by the progression of doom modding.

If you're not familiar with it, do yourself a favor and go in blind for an hour or so and then only look up a video when you're stuck.

Look, if you are into it, play My House.
If you dont have days to spend, well I follwed a walkthrough. I'd have never figured any of that shit out.
Fantastic mod.

I've played a bit but haven't had enough time to really get into it. Did you see Romero playing it when it first blew up?

I just checked for the vid I saw and looks like he's got another one playing it from a couple months ago as well.
