Brutal Doom v18 adds testicular kicks

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.
