Accompanied also with the phrase "the way Casalis didn't", Attempt Cereson is a half-megawad that was created with a very clear goal: be as unlike Plutonia as possible. Supplying its unapologetic opposition to the fabled IWAD with ironic references to it, Attempt Cereson creates challenge and engaging gameplay in its own way but more importantly, it is here to loudly declare that the Plutonia Experiment was decidedly a failure!

After a couple of weeks, we're at the conclusion of being earthless. Complete with a nod to a Doom 2 map and another map that strongly resembles classic slaughter and Alien Vendetta MAP26 in particular, the marriage of old school with a modern aesthetic is even more prominent than before and is certain to provide a superb ending to an already superb megawad!

In its center portion, Earthless features more maps which feel like a modern look was given to classic megawads which shaped Doom into what it is today. The map lengths also stay in the sweet spot where, for a large group of bloodthirsty marines, the maps don't get finished too fast but the layouts don't get so complex as to be confusing. Vanilla mapping at its best, if you're somehow *still* playing Doom in 2025, this wad is not one to miss!

Earthless is a fresh vanilla megawad from Jimmy... that Jimmy that is one of the most accomplished people in the history of the Doom community. It was in the works for 4.5 years and putting those 2 facts together with just a brief look at the screenshots you know we're in for a real treat!

Note to everyone who didn't have a time change last week: most of Europe did so the session will start an hour earlier than it usually does for you.

A fair bit more challenging than it started, the second half of the wad brings some carefully calculated gameplay scenarios while keeping the monster populations within 200. With cyberdemons and archviles not being a rare sight, we sure would appreciate getting a helping hand!
