Brutal Doom v18 adds testicular kicks

If you were the type to doodle Doom all over your schoolbooks, rejoice! Thanks to the mod Brutal Doom, id's shooter is now every bit as violent as your younger self's doodles. Every dismemberment; every curbstomping; every immolation; every Hell Knight being kicked square in the soul spheres: they're all here. A new version came out last week, giving me an excuse to post a long-overdue story about this gory marvel.

If you were the type to draw fanciful Doom scenes all over your schoolbooks, rejoice! Thanks to the mod Brutal Doom, id's shooter is now every bit as violent as your younger self's doodles. Every dismemberment; every curbstomping; every immolation; every Hell Knight being kicked square in the soul spheres: they're all here. A new version came out last week, letting me post a long-overdue story about this gory marvel.

Brutal Doom, as the name suggests, makes Doom and Doom 2 more violent. Blood sprays across walls, gibs fly freely, you can blow enemies' legs off to make them crawl then curbstomp them, the Beserk powerup adds horrifying fatalities, more weapons are in, and it's generally, well, brutal. Now moreso, since creator 'Sergeant_Mark_IV' released version 18 on Valentine's Day.

The changelog includes--and Mark's very kindly illustrated many of these with videos--kicking teeth out the faces of crawling enemies and punting Barons of Hell in their laughing gnomes, new burning animations, new fatalities, new plasma deaths, improved AI, better blood, and oh so much more.

Grab Brutal Doom v18a here at Shacknews. You'll want to run it in the Zdoom, GZDoom, or Skulltag replacement Doom engine.

      The rest of the gang have today off work. I'm running this joint and let me tell you, there'll be some changes* around here.

      * changes not necessarily positive.

      If only ball kicking could be modded into all games. Think of the possibilities!

        I too want to wander the scenic vistas of other virtual worlds. And kick some giants/aliens/zombies in the balls.

        I imagine it would work great to speed up/skip various dialog options.

      the additions to the game change the way doom doom is played, most of it positively. i can do without the silly fatality shit and flipping of demons, but replacing the pistol and other stuff adjust some aspects of the doom mechanic positively.

      i considered the mod as over the top hilarious harmless fun until i read i the forums that the dude who makes it was considering using real gore/corpse pictures as template for his virtual gore adjustments which would have done the game into creepy as fuck stay away from me territory, but apparently the community around the dude talked him out of the batshit insane idea. still the knowledge alone that he thought this would be ok even for a second, kinda put me off.

        whelp, creepy as fuck dude http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=28920

        "Real Gore
        At the 0.16 development, I have planned to replace some gib sprites to be made of real pictures of actual dead people. This caused a lot of controversy, and many people stated that it is "crossing the line" even for a violence mod.
        Plus some people said that the high resolution sprites of pieces of smashed brains doesn't looks good with doom's pixelated sprites. Also, I noticed that it can cause some lag if these sprites are spawned in high volumedue the resolution of the sprites. So, I decided to make it a separated module."

          yup, that's moving into creepy territory there. Looking at repeated instances of bits of real dead people for enjoyment seems a little bit off.

        He's apparently not afraid of casual racism, either.
        The code contains comments like "//(weapon) will burn you to a nigger in seconds". Weird guy.

      the author of the mod is a weird sociopath who puts racist """"""jokes"""""""" in his code comments and didn't understand why his attempts at putting gibs based on autopsy photos in the game made some people upset

        Sounds good to me! Games are better when they have racist comments in the source code.

      the author of this mod was the owner of rotten.com and was in prison for 4 years on sodomy charges

        Sodomy charges don't mean anything. Up until 13 years or so ago anal sex was illegal in US. You could've been doing some legal chick in the ass, get busted by their parents, and go to jail.

          Are you sure about that? Because I've got a lot of these anal porn tapes that say otherwise. Don't ask me how I have them, though. Stop looking at me like that. >___>

            Quick search turned up this:

            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_States

            As late as 2003 it took Supreme Court to invalidate sodomy laws in 14 US states at which point anal sex became 100% legal anywhere in US. Only 10 years ago you could've been doing hard time for anal depending on the state! Sounds ridiculous today, I know.
