If it's mostly levels that we have seen before, then maybe compilations are a bit pointless, yeah. If you find any, you could single out and play any unfamiliar maps, though.

Yesterday was elections day - glad this madness is finally over. Don't worry, Boiko won :P

Another thing from yesterday - we have switched to +1 daylight savings time, which has to be taken into consideration if we're going to plan anything for the weekend. You'll have to tell me if you have DST in Texas New England, so that I can adjust my time calculations accordingly.

I'm a traditionalist mostly with regard to Windows games because they aren't supposed to require source ports (being Windows native by default). Some may require additional wrappers, but that's more of a fix than an actual port. Sometimes I wonder why I feel so liberal towards using ports for Doom, but it's probably because I've played vanilla for many many years, and thus feel I have earned to enjoy some modern "luxuries" from time to time ;)

Ugh, all of our CRT monitors were pretty dark. The first one was dark and had an extra protective glass that made it even darker (luckily, it could be removed). The horrible Trinitron thing had weird hues when the brightness was pumped up and looked bad. It wasn't until I got a proper LCD screen (the first one was my laptop's monitor) that I finally got decent brightness/contrast. A few years later my folks also got a better monitor for themselves.

My folks grumbled about me staying up late, but there wasn't much they could do about it... besides, I was often stealthy about it.

Good to hear you'r feeling better. I had some muscle pains after all the recent gardening, but it hasn't been much of a problem.
