Thanks for showcasing this! I was one of the project leads. This was the nineteenth installment of a monthly project series we’ve been doing for some time now, so apologies for some of the rough edges! Other than a little bit of bug fixing and such we made the 25-map project start-to-finish in the month of December 2019, releasing on Christmas Eve 2019 (our third Christmas project, which is “Christmas in Australia”-themed, was just released this most recent Christmas Eve). As you can imagine, we all play a *lot* of Doom, so it’s always great to see what someone who’s not deep into the world of Doom makes of our projects. Even if that does reveal that, yeah, we’ve gotten really used to playing at a higher difficulty level 🤭 If anyone wants to see the complete set without playing themselves, there’s a nice long play by a RUclipsr named BugoTheCat. You also have my blessing to try out Russian Overkill or similar power-fantasy-type mods (although I can’t guarantee results!), have fun with it y’all
This map pack is definitely worth playing through if you're an experienced Doom II player. I actually finished a playthrough of this a few weeks back. Gives quite a nice challenge especially on Ultra Violence. That Doomer Boards Community that made this has done a bunch of other projects as well as a shorter Christmas Themed Map Pack called "The Merry Christmassy Doom Project." Should be easy to find.
I wouldn't be mad if vinny just lowered the difficulty instead of cheating. Hell even joel struggles with a lot of custom maps on hurt me plenty and he plays doom a LOT more than vinny, and just because some of us play doom every day and are used to difficulty like that, doesn't mean everyone is, and these wads are usually designed with people who play a lot of doom in mind.
Don't worry Vinny, i play all fan-made content on Easy and if there's not a difficulty selector i don't play it. Unless its something clearly aimed a videogame noobs like us i don't even bother usually. That's because usually fan made content is made for people with much more skills then us. Easy is basically the dev's equivalent of Normal anyway.
Pretty sure this MegaWAD was designed around slaughter maps and judging by Vinny's skills and sourceport management this ain't worth the view, still cool to showcase for people that are looking for a challenge while keeping festive. I also dare to say this MegaWAD also has better looking city levels than Doom 2's (quite old aguement by now but still fun to bring up just in case people don't know much about it).
@@MrWolfSnack I mean he never said he was good in any game so I feel like the complaints are quite invalidated, tho you have to agree that when he sucks, he sucks so badly it hurts to watch. I still feel Joel is the more capable one to handle Doom related stuff since he already had 2 contests by this point, played all of the submissions (or mostly the ones that made it in) and not many people had to complain about it. I still wish he could play some more instead of Vinny tbph.

DOOM mods are some of my favorite out of any game ever. The sheer variety of things you can do is amazing, like that Sonic racing game.
i think Doom is pretty much the most modded game at this point, there are millions of wads out there
@@majamystic256 Yes. If you have Doom 2 and a sourceport, you technically have thousands of free games.
@@sneezebiscuits7239 oh yeah baby, Delta touch even lets you play doom 3 and it's expansion.
Too bad the community for that Sonic racing game is as toxic as you would expect it to be.
I'm surprised Joel hasn't gotten in on this.
Didn't he got burned by doom because of the mapping contest? I hope he comes back
@@Twafflejc The Doom contest permanently burned him out from playing classic Doom.
@@Kola25_97 Permanent is definitely a massive exaggeration
@@Twafflejc Yes he did, and I hope so too

Hello Mario.
Christmas doom maps are probably the best thing we could ever have along with the gameplay mods.
And i wonder if there's Vinesauce map already.
Definitely, I mean. Pizza Quest is pretty fucking great

This was clearly an afterthought he prepared on the spot.
He hasn't played for real any classic Doom content in years.
@@FeelingShred where's that random hostility coming from?

2:48 I cringed a bit when you mistakenly call a Doom wad a "Build" engine game 😖
yeah that was a little PREPSONG of vinny
The build engine is Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior and a few other games I think
same ngl
Wasn't the build engine just an edited doom engine?
Vinny is a fucking Boomer
3:30
What’s your name?
Who’s your daddy (and what does he do)?
Is he rich like me?
Ah yes, the magic of Christmas
"Done in the Build engine..."
"...the Build engine..."
"...Build engine..."
**sigh into facepalm** ...Vinny...
I was hurt more by him thinking Quake was the build engine when Quake's engine is literally called the Quake engine
Holiday tradition to give these a watch
The perfect game for 2020
Have you also heard of 32in24-14 which is another Christmas doom wad?
Title screen man looks like Scott Manley with hair
Feels like it was designed to be played with sometging like RO or another big weapon mod
merry chryslter everyboody
TFW Vinny forgets to limit Lost Soul count

The 22 minute length gave it away.
