Author : Xaser Email Address : xaser.88@gmail.com <------ New E-mail address!!!! Other Files By Author : Anything ending in _X and some other random crap Misc. Author Info : Death to Chainsaws is my current project. Yay! Description : Hehe, just a random weaponset I cooked up one day. However, this one is designed for maximum compatibility, so it can be used on Skulltag as well, for some online multiplayer action. Still, That doesn't mean that I didn't have room for a couple of sweet effects here and there. :P So anyway... uh... enjoy and stuff!!!!!!!!(insert lots of 1's here) Teh Story : Once upon a time, there was this seemingly average Zdoom forum-goer named Destroyer. He was one hell of a cool guy and an awesome Doom player (Especially in Deathmatch mode), yet for some strange reason, most of the people online disliked him for no apparent reason. Was it because Destroyer kicked their asses all the time or because they didn't like the color of his shoes? Actually, it was for another reason, but I'll get to that in a minute. So anyways, Destroyer was feeling kind of down and sad and stuff because of the things the Evil Guys said. Then, one day, something happened that would change his life forever. Destroyer was lounging around in #truezdoom with his friends Xaser and MasterOFDeath, when Xaser sent Destroyer a wad to playtest (a fairly common occurence). However, when he opened the wad, Zdoom started spitting out all kinds of garbled code and other assorted strangeness. Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared, and the monitor screen of Destroyer's computer grew brighter and brighter and the blue light started to envelop the whole room. Pretty soon, Destroyer could see nothing except blue. Then, for no reason at all, he experiences total weightlessness for a few seconds, then he blues out (you know, like blacking out, only with blue instead of black). When he comes to, he sees that he's in a small bare room with two other guys in it. One is wearing a green suit and sunglasses and the other has night vision goggles and a suit that seems to be changing colors rapidly. The first man then speaks: "Hiz0r!" Knowing that nobody in their right mind would ever say something like that, Destroyer deduced that it had to have been Xaser himself who said that. "Xaser, is that you?" asks Destroyer. "Heh. How'd you guess?" was the response. "Wait, if he's Xaser, then you must be MoD!" Destroyer says to the guy in the rainbow suit. "Hehe, yep. It;s me!" exclaims MoD. "Okay, now could somebody please tell me where the hell I am now?" "You're in #truezdoom", says Xaser. "Say what?" responds Destroyer. "That wad I sent you wasn't really me newest weapon replacement. It was a gateway that transported you through time. We're in the future now." "Huh? Wait, so I'm in the future, and I'm talking in #truezdoom? I don't believe it.", says Destroyer. "Haha, it's like on The Matrix when Neo gets told that nothing's real!", exclaims MoD. Everyone stares blankly at MoD. "So anyway, can you please telll me what the hell I'm doing here?", asks Destroyer. "Well, It's simple. Benjamin deciphered some ancient texts saying that you were really some super guy who is supposed to save the world, so I built a time machine so I could bring all 3 of us here," was Xaser's response. "Well, okay, I guess." Says Destroyer. "Hey wait, Who's Benjamin?" "He's one of the characters from Death to Chainsaws. He's the head scientist guy who always creates new weapons and deciphers text and does all that other cool Scientist stuff," replied Xaser. "Okay, makes sense." "Man, you should see how D2C is doing! It was a smash hit and won the award of being teh best Doom wad in existance! Hell, they even made a movie out of it! It's even more popular than Spider Man 3 and the Matrix Returns!!!" "Uh, we're getting a bit off topic here," says MoD. "Heh. Yep, he's still the same old Xaser," says Destroyer. "Still, I want to know why exactly you think I'm some sort of super guy." "Well, you know those people who always made fun of you? It turns out that they're really a society of evil geeks that call themselves the Assholes. They stole the plans for my time machine and they traveled to the future and took over the internet! You're the only person powerful enough to stop the Assholes!" "Uh... did you ever realize that if you hadn't made the time machine in the first place, the Asshole guys wouldn't ever have taken over?" "No, er... shit." "Well, no matter. I hate those guys anyway and I would do anything to kill them!", says Destroyer. No response. "Uh, Xaser?" Suddenly, Xaser's figure disappears and a bunch of text appears on the wall, which says "Xaser has Quit IRC: Ping Timeout". "Argh, dialup sucks.", says MoD. "No matter. I'll fire up the teleporter and send you into the evil realm where the Assholes live." A teleport thingy appears and Destroyer enters. "Hey, it's just like the beginning of Doom2 Map01!!!", says Destroyer. "Actually, it can be any doom level you want. You just have to concentrate really hard," replies MoD. "Okay." Destroyer closes his eyes, and when he reopens them, he's in Mock2 Map01. "Whoa, don't get too carried away. Playing Mock2 can yield some pretty strange results." says MoD. "Well, it can't be as bad as Warzone, though. Some of the stealth monsters were nonexistant and stuff. Hey, can I even make this a deathmatch if I want?" "Hehe, sure! You can do just about any type of Doom game, thanks to it's compatibility setting so be exceedingly high." "Huh?" "Oh, never mind. So, have you noticed the new weapons yet?" "Oh, heh. Damn, these things are pretty damn cool! All these effects using DEHACKED only?" "Yep. No Dehsupp or DECORATE present. Those just seem to kill the compatibility of the wad. Now go out there and kick some Asshole asses!" "Okay, thanks, MoD!" "NP and stuff." So Destroyer sets off with his really cool arsenal of weapons to "kick those Asshole asses." In fact, He's not just Destroyer anymore. From now on, he will be known as The Great Destroyer. (I apologize for making absolutely no sense.) Dedicated to : Destroyer! Man, you really need to stop being so hard on yourself, You're not a failure at all. In fact, you're one of the coolest dudes I've met!
