John Romero will play SNS this year!

[Llewellyn]

Are we going for nostalgia here? Because there's one mod I help someone with that comes to mind when nostalgia is mentioned... Ranger might bring up bad memories, but still.

And load it with ACStris because why the fuck not I guess? Not like it'd hurt (although I'd need to make it spectator-compatible) :V

If you can, tell somewhere how exactly interacting with spectators worked , because IIRC that was a slighty complex shit, and I am curious. :U Was it something with function/script return values?

IIRC the only way to interact with a spectator is to get them to bind pukable scripts (also IIRC GetPlayerInfo does not work on Spectators on the client side for whatever reason.)

But back on topic, IMO it should be modern looking maps and gameplay but not too crazy a gameplay mutator. Like maybe some maps with Skulltag guns would be OK, but anything more complex (like Samsara...) would be a bit too much IMO.
Also, I hope he doesn't have any trouble figuring out how to run it, as port setup is about as far as "noob friendly" as it can get.

My almighty lord! It's happening, I'll get to die beside John Romero himself! Well firstly, we'll need some bouncers (yeah I said it) to keep the trolls out, if any, that will not have submitted to his power.

[mifu]

Holy fucking shit

That is all, honestly.

This is awesome news, I'll try to attend when it comes :D

[Medicris]

MAKE HIM PLAY MEGAMAN, AOW, BRUTAL DOOM AND ZOMBIE HORDE.

... AND RGA2

/sadism

[President People]

This should be interesting!

I hope someone remembers to record the session.

[Fluffles]

gunna snatch him and duel him on his maps

[darkstar64]

I just shit my pants. Who will be the lucky ones to play the mighty final boss of Doom 2?

[-Jes-]

.. Eh.

Is he THAT important these days?!

[DTDsphere]

I may of persuaded him on Facebook to do something like this on the 20th anniversary, on a post about the 19th. It's awesome he's actually doing it.

[Zupoman]

64 player slots won't be enough. And the chat will be probably like a wall of text. This is gonna be a mess, isn't it?

[Haze]

Someone should record the whole thing and I second the Samsara mod but without Security Officer...
I don't think it fits for SNS with Romero IMO

[zdude]

Samsara would be a good one to try with the legend that is John Romero.

...but without Security Officer...

On the contrary, I think it would be a great idea to include the Security Officer. Just because the Security Officer has no relation to id Software doesn't make him unworthy of being a part of this.

Samsara is meant to bring great FPS heroes from the old days together for the 1st(?) time so they can slaughter endless amounts of monsters or each other. By that logic, the Sec Officer is more than worthy of being here.

That makes strife guy infinitely worthy...

Well, since you put it that way, I think it's missing ROTT's main character :) if it would add the gibbing aswell it would be perfect :>

EDIT:
nvm... i went to that plutonia server with the addons... It's perfect.

You guys know this isn't going to happen right?

I know it's gonna happen.

[kuchitsu]

faek pic to get a lot of people come?

Fuckin' cynicism in this community, no I didn't fake the pic XD

[cybershark]

I suggest Heretic - or Chex Quest!

But I don't see the point in trying to wow Romero with all the modern features. He's kinda been there and done it all, y'know?
And what's really the big deal about them? Look at it from an outside perspective - it's cool and all but, given 20 freakin' years, you could have tacked all that shit on to even Pong

Also, what about the other iD guys? Why does nobody ever invite them to the party?

[Hypnotoad]

Romero has played skulltag before, it is not that unlikely.

[Yellowtail]

But was it the official Romero?
