There's a big difference between inhaling cigarette smoke and the original
comment which was "inhaling a cigarette" :) I don't think any member of DT
has ever inhaled a cigarette.

Hey Ken the Gather ye rosebuds quote is from a John Keats poem, or so my 11th
grade English teacher led me to believe. It was also quoted in the movie "
Dead poets society". [Your teacher is wrong. Norton Anthology of English
Literature Vol 1, p1327 "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" by Robert
Herrick. First line: "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" the rest follows
the sample from Dead Poets' Society. Most of the list already knows both
of these points since they have been beaten to death ever since ACOS was
released--kbibb]
Also to the guy out there bashing Nico McBrain from Iron Maiden, you are an
over opinionated, uneducated idiot who knows absolutely nothing about the
drums. At a recent clinic I asked Mike what he thought of IM and he replied
that he loved NM's playing. Harrumph to you.

First off, I want to thank everyone for the great responses I got about the
DT Doom2 level. I got over 200 requests for it, and emailed them all
out...whew! The feedback has been great, and I want to respond to a few
questions/comments on the level:
1. Yes, the level can be beaten!:) I know that many find the number of
monsters in the level to be too challenging, but I guess I wasn't thinking
of skill levels...sorry:). I can waste the entire level in 4 minutes, but I
compete with some pretty dangerous doomers. You can always use the cheat
codes IDDQD and IDKFA to help wipe out all the monsters and just view the
level...just type them in while you are playing.
2. The file was zipped with Pkzip. Just unzip it to your doom2 directory and
run by using this command line: DOOM2 -FILE DT.WAD
3. I did recieve a couple of "critiques" who managed to find things that
thought could've been done better...coincidentally, they seem to be the same
people that will go to a live show and listen for mistakes, then write about
them on the net. All I can say is that if I had more time to perfect the
level, maybe I could've met the high standards of those few users, but
working 2 jobs just doesn't allow 12 hours a day to make video games.:) All
in all, the majority of responses were pleasing! You people made it worth the
40some hours it took to create!!
4. To get out of the Ytsejam pit, just run up to the Ytse symbol, facing it,
hit the spacebar. I will lower to the floor, and then you just run into the
center to teleport out of it. Use the same technique to open the door (with
skulls on it) to the spider room and the exit.
5. For those that asked, the guy with the car in the exit doorway is me.
6. If there is anyone at all that has any way or means to get that level to
the band for them to try it, I would be eternally greatful! If they don't
have access to a PC with doom2 on it, they are welcome to come over and try
it on my PC anytime!:)
TOPIC 2:
People have been mentioning DT and drugs....I have been a musician for about
16 years, and during about 6 of those years I had a bad drug problem. You
don't write and play music the way DT does when you're on drugs people!!!!
TRUST ME! If they were doing any serious dope, there is NO WAY you would see
these precise instrumental performances that they pull of on stage every
night!!! I think we need to have a little more respect for the band.
TOPIC 3:
Stop in to the Ytsejam IRC channel some time and chat! If you don't have IRC,
just download it off the net somewhere...just do a search on IRC, and follow
links til ya find it. It's easy to use. When you get it, just add this server
to the list and login: irc.dreamt.org (set the port to 2112)
Bye for now,
Dave (buster@ee.net)
