Indeed - requests are just suggestions. And more importantly - suggestions made with the hope that playing the thing in question would be a cool new experience. However, when the cool new experience becomes a burden, it's better to not do it at all. Even the funniest thing in the world can be dreadful if it's mandatory.

I've read some DnD stuff too, but I have a little secret - I read only the interesting parts and skip the rest. Yes, this could qualify as "cheating" (if there is even such a thing in reading), but it keeps me from burning out. My favorite topics were outer the planes and their various locations...

Sounds like a huge task to me - there are so many WADs out there. And it's not just newm aps - there are also mods, total conversions, crossovers, and other weird stuff. Even I wouldn't dare to try and play everything, even though I grew up with Doom and love like the brother I never had ;)

I've played abysmal stuff too - many of the levels in those compilations I mentioned were pure horror. And the old DOS engine exacerbated some of the glitches, making them even more obtrusive. And as if that weren't enough, some had misplaced level exits too - a secret exit on E1M4, for example, would send you to E1M9... but then you'd return back to E1M4 since the game is hardcoded to do that. And the compilation author forgot to take this into account. (sigh)
