USDQC Friday Night Survival #374 - Preacher

Spaz — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:44:51 +0000

Date: Friday October 30th, 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (01:00 GMT / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

For the night before Halloween on FNS, we are making a return to Preacher! In this wad, the players take on the role of a mad preacher who hears voices in his head instructing him to banish all of the evil in the world. While there are only 9 maps here, they are nonlinear and fit the Halloween theme quite well with its textures, sounds, and sprites.

Join us this Friday for some spooky time survival!

TNS #794 - Spineless (Part II)

Keyboard_Doomer — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 08:31:28 +0000

Date: Thursday 29th October 2026
Euro session: 19:00 GMT

> Details and comments <

Halloween is getting dangerously close and it so happens that Spineless fits the season quite well so we're taking the opportunity to finish the wad this Thursday. The average monster count rises significantly compared to last week and you can expect some familiar TNS additions to enhance the seasonal atmosphere. And hey, it's Halloweek; we can't guarantee a complete lack of spines either!

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

USDQC Wednesday Night Deathmatch #389 - Crucified Dreams

Spaz — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 23:27:49 +0000

Date: Wednesday October 28th 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (01:00 GMT / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

It is Halloween week, and what better than some Gothic styled maps to frag it out in during the spooky season! Crucified Dreams is not quite GothicDM, but rather a spiritual successor. This pack has 40+ maps of castle and dungeon goodness to help us end October with a bang!

Come frag it out with us this Wednesday!

Date: Thursday 22nd October 2026
Euro session: 19:00 BST

> Details and comments <

It's been a few weeks since we've played a freshly released mapset but to make up for that, Spineless should be quite a treat. A 17-map wad by AD_79, it features rich purples, a slight tinge of gothic influence, an entirely original soundtrack and, according to the author's own words, some of the best work of their eventful 12-year mapping spell!

USDQC Friday Night Survival #373 - Moonblood

Spaz — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:54:59 +0000

Date: Friday October 23rd, 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

After just a little over five years since our last run of Moonblood, it's time for a revisit! Moonblood's design is inspired by Scythe 1, Jenesis, Mano Laikas and DTWID series. The maps are on the small to medium range and monster counts also stay to that range. It may not be one of the more difficult wads we've run, but there is still plenty of challenge and fun to be had!

Join us for this long-awaited revisit and help us survive Moonblood again this Friday!

USDQC Wednesday Night Deathmatch #388 - Doom II

Spaz — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:07:09 +0000

Date: Wednesday October 21st 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

For WNDM this week, we are back on Zdaemon and going back to basics! We are running vanilla Doom II maps, which means no custom layouts, textures, music, or sounds just like when the game originally released way back in 1994! We do know that some of the OG maps are convoluted for deathmatch, so we will be running a set of select maps.

Come frag it out with us like its '94 again this Wednesday!

Date: Thursday 15th October 2026
Euro session: 19:00 BST

> Details and comments <

Well, well, well... you made it back! We weren’t sure you would after last week’s session. Some of you were walking funny, or “needed a minute.” We respect that, but the set isn’t finished, and neither are we.

This is the final stretch, and it’s the deep end. We’ve been teasing you through the first 43 maps, and now we’re going all the way in. The last nineteen maps were written with the lights off, and nobody pulls out early. Expect more tight spots with no room to move, and a few hard thrusts through the narrow bits. Some maps will take their time with you... they’ll make you squirm. If you find a berserk pack, remember: bare-handed, with a tight grip, pound everything until it’s a wet, quivering heap of squishy bits. It’s hands-on, it’s messy, and good things come to those who wait (and bleed all over the carpet).

Be sure to come prepared and well lubricated (your mouse... we mean your mouse). Bring that stamina, and try to last more than five minutes this time, because the join limit is the only thing here that is short. The rules? One life, no taking it out halfway, and no asking for “quick breaks” when things get intense. Your safe word is ALT+F4, and we will mock you for using it. If your fingers cramp, that’s between you and your keyboard. By map 60, expect to be a sweaty, trembling mess. Let’s all have a happy ending.

Hello ZDaemon Sessions Survival People,

The Cyberdemons are throwing another party... and you're invited!
Cyber Party Deluxe returns for Part 4 with 32 (short-ish) DOOM II
slaughter maps packed with (cyber)demons, rockets, plasma and total chaos.
This is a new production of NeedEspresso with SLADE, Obsidian and Doom Builder v2 Level Maker.

We will start with 5 lives, and we can adjust the amount of lives up or down as needed.

Bring some friends and crash the party!

Well that was quick! Last week we tore through the maps so fast we barely got our shoes off. Some of you seemed done before we even got started. Impressive, but is that all you have? 62 maps don't finish themselves and we are nowhere near satisfied.

So this week, we're going longer. We don't want anyone leaving early (we know you can handle more than you think). More maps with tight spots, firm surprises, and things popping out when you least expect it. Some slow and teasing, others fast and rough, a few may leave you gasping.

Come ready and bring your stamina, take your time, pace yourself, and for once, try not to finish so soon. If you do, don't worry...we'll just start another round. AHAHAHAHAHA

USDQC Friday Night Survival #371 - Freudian Slipgate 2

Date: Friday October 9th, 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

Didn't get enough Freudian maps last week? Good, because we are continuing the experience with the sequel for this week's FNS! Unlike its predecessor, Freudian Slipgate 2 features a full 32 maps, hopefully giving us a longer lasting session. Maps are visually appealing, some new monster sprites have been added, and there is enough challenge to keep us from blazing through too quickly. All of that and we get a free and much needed therapy session!

Join us this Friday for another fun night of Survival!

This week for FNS, we are stepping through a portal into the #doomtwid realm! For this wad, I'm going to let the description from the authors do the talking.

"You are playing Quake, you walk into the Slipgate only to find out it's Freudian, suddenly, you are in Doom.. #doomtwid realm, you have angered the #doomtwid gods and they throw you into the random maps for invading their privileges on internet."

"Are you agitated enough to survive the Bull#$@$ maps?"

Date: Thursday 1st October 2026
Euro session: 19:00 BST

> Details and comments <

Another TNS is here, and we're getting our hands on something special: 62 maps all lined up and ready for you. Yes... sixty-two. Don't worry, we'll take it nice and slow. (Or fast... They're speedmaps so it's really up to you.)

This one comes from the PUSS project, led by myolden with a whole crowd of contributors, each spending about six hours on their own little creation. That's a lot of passion packed into every map, and you can feel the effort in each one. Some are soft and welcoming, some are tight and hard to get through, and all of them will leave you a bit out of breath.

Come ready to go deep, stay inside as long as you can, and don't finish too early. We've got a lot of maps to get through, and we want everyone satisfied by the end of the night. Bring your stamina, because you'll need it. AHAHAHAHAHA

It's been 5 years since we have run this classic from Team TNT! While this is a wad from the 90's, it does not quite feel too much like it due to the use of Boom features. The wad has underwater areas, wind, conveyers, and instant silent teleporters and should keep our fraggers on their toes!

In the last TNS with (increasing) consecutive digits until TNS #1234 we'll be finishing up Doomium with more fast-paced maps of varying sizes ahead of us. The theme largely remains dominated by tech bases but you will also be pleased if you're a fan of hexagons (featured in MAP25 and MAP29) or Speed of Doom (its MAP24 likely inspiring the hexagon usage and MAP26 mayyybe having an influence on Doomium's MAP29). If that piqued your interest we hope to see you make a bee-line to the TNS this evening!
