Very true indeed. People tend to act stupid when they think they are free to have fun and alcohol is present.

I can say I never bothered with alcohol. I just am not a fan of losing my inhibitions, even if it requires multiple drinks to do such.

You are indeed, you have tested numerous things for the good of science in the past :P

Indeed, today has pretty much been a modified level sort of day, basically covering the era where new custom levels could not be designed due to it not being known how to create BSP trees. ORIGWAD was more of an exception than a rule, done at a point where it was pretty much required to do it by hand, so everything else was modified versions of id Software levels. As I say in the videos, they aren't the same as new levels, though they do have their own charm akin to that of Warrens.

EDIT:

http://culture.vg/reviews/videogame-art/not-art-doom.html - Oh, look, Kanye West made a review whereby he talks about why his opinion is so much more entitled than yours and why he is a genius who knows what real games are. You might be especially interested in the fact that he uses Counter-Strike to prove how superior later games are to Doom, proving we are hipster autists. Also, we should play basketball when it is sunny.

Some of his criticism is valid and I agree with. I am the first of course to say Doom's levels are pretty much glorified dungeons and that there are plenty of levels that are a bit lengthy and tiresome to complete. When he starts to say how Doom doesn't really change and show various vistas, at least not in the most immersive way, I agree and feel it was one of the biggest limitations versus later titles. I find it funny he mentions crumbs of story, however, because that is exactly what Doom does and he fails to recognize.

What makes even me laugh at it is the fact that he not only seeks to say what he likes/dislikes, but has to justify what he likes as objectively good. No, it can't just be that he dislikes it and that is his opinion. We have a mental illness and are obsessed with older games because we must be hipsters and an objectively better game like Counter Strike is too modern. We are insensitive buffoons who know nothing of what games really are about. "A certified medical professional would place you somewhere on the autism spectrum and that your "WADs" would be his very diagnostic tool". This isn't just an essay about why any Call of Duty is so much better than Doom, but why that is objective truth! I think it makes it all the more crazy that this is part of an actual book you can buy, a book telling you why old games are garbage.

Also, maybe you can grasp the copyright at the bottom better than me. It may not be transmitted, does that mean I broke copyright by linking it? Cached... don't you store cookies when you visit a website, which means you cached his site? You are breaking his copyright by looking at his words! How does that even make sense? You make a blog post, something you intend other people to see, but even looking at the site is enough to break copyright somehow. Yet we are the autists.
