[ReX]

DooM Nexus has started a new feature named Doomster Unveiled: Inside the BossBrain, which presents interviews with various notables in the DooM Community. You can read the edited version of the interview with Nigel 'Enjay' Rowand, here, or the uncut version here.

Interviews with Daniel 'Tormentor667' Gimmer, wildweasel, LilWhiteMouse, Phobus, Xaser, Stephen "The Ultimate Doomer" Clark, Rachael 'Eruanna' Alexanderson, 'Scuba' Steve Browning, Sergeant_Mark_IV, DBThanatos, kmxexii, CodeImp, and Simon 'Fraggle' Howard have also been posted.

I read the "uncut" version of Enjay's interview - quite a lengthy read, but very entertaining! A good insight into all of the early days of Doom that I'm too young to have experienced properly too

[wildweasel]

I, uh...fixed the topic title for you. =P

(Also, would you rather this be in General, since it's Doom-related? It'll drop off in Off-Topic if there aren't enough replies...)

That's weird. I fixed it last night (including the text for the link), but then I noticed that there was no notification of an edit. You and I must have been "fixing" it at the exact same moment.

This morning I edited the body of the post to include DBT's name, and the edit notification came up as usual.

(Also, would you rather this be in General, since it's Doom-related? It'll drop off in Off-Topic if there aren't enough replies...)

Your call. I put in in Off-Topic because it's not directly ZDooM-related. But I agree that it'll get more exposure in General.

[Xaser]

General for sure. It's Doomy enough.

Kudos on a good first interview! It's great seeing our resident Jedi Master spill his guts. ;P

[Enjay]

You can read the edited version ... or the uncut version

See, the problem with that Enjay guy is he never knows when to shut up.

[ReX]

It's great seeing our resident Jedi Master spill his guts. ;P

And isn't it time you did the same? Heh.

Gentle reminder. Second one. Heh.

[ReX]

Interview with wildweasel.

[insightguy]

speaking of which. that guy is the only reason I found these forums in the first place: his diaz mod

[Phobus]

I have to say, I do very strongly agree with WW's stances on modding (weapons, maps, all sorts) and those massive ripfest mods. His opinions on moderating seem pretty solid too, but I didn't need telling that, as he's been doing a good job here ever since he and the rest of the team took over from me

[ReX]

... he's been doing a good job here ever since he and the rest of the team took over from me

Agreed. Moderating is a thankless job that requires a great deal of time and patience. And it's typically done on a volunteer basis. Reasonable moderators such as ww deserve our thanks.

Steering us back on topic, however, I bring you the latest installment. This time it's with Daniel 'Tormentor667' Gimmer.

Stay tuned for interviews with LilWhiteMouse, and Phobus.

[ReX]

Here's an interview with LilWhiteMouse.

Coming up: Phobus, followed by Xaser.

[wildweasel]

Certainly a fascinating look, even though I'm honestly a bit disappointed that LWM didn't really seem to say much...I guess that's just in her nature, though?

[LilWhiteMouse]

LWM didn't really seem to say much...I guess that's just in her nature, though?

Yes.

[Tormentor667]

Very, very, very interesting!
