Morning Discussion: 'Splosion Wednesday!

by Chris Faylor, Jul 22, 2009 6:00am PDT

I still remember the first time we heard about 'Splosion Man. It was April 1, and there were so many other joke announcements, we thought that was one of them. But no, it turned out that the story of a man who explodes his enemies into "chunks of ham and ribeyes" was real, as evidenced by its current availability on Xbox Live Arcade.

I had meant to get up early and play for a bit to provide a more comprehensive overview, but, you know how getting up early is sometimes. And hey, there's a free demo!

Knee Deep in ZDoom
I dunno how I missed this when it came out... but anyone that has played Doom must play this. And I'm sure all of you have!! Basically some people in the ZDoom Community remade Doom but used the ZDoom Engine to pretty much completely overhaul the game. All the maps were redone from scratch and updated with new areas and all the new features offered by ZDoom.

Here are a few screenshots from the start of E1M1, don't want to spoil too much for you. :)
