It's quite addicting actually. I am having more fun than I have with any recent FM.

If there is a setting, I haven't seen it. You don't think I didn't try looking up a solution? I am really having a dilemna which might stop a series that just started. The lesson is to never upload a video while it is encoding. That doesn't help me right now though. The file itself has a thumbnail, but it is not showing externally (http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/File:E1M2_-_Castle_of_the_Damned). Check the thumbnail section and you will see a mini version of what should be shown on the wikia. The problem is the name is being recognized as the old thumbnail by the wikia cache. Changing the name is a solution, but not really a good possiblity. The solution is simple in windows, yet I don't know how to do it in a wikia. How do you clear a thumbnail cache? Well, the series was fun while it lasted. hopefully we will eventually find a solution.

I had it!!!! For two seconds, it worked perfectly! Ugh... I will have to keep playing around with these - http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Purge - to see if any work again. According to http://quake.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Videos, the thumbnail exists, but according to recent changes and any page it gets uploaded to it does not.

Doom controls aren't slow and clumsy, so I don't believe Heretic is that bad. Try System Shock 1. you can make it 5 levels and still remain calm with the controls, you are more skilled than me (the game isn't actually that tough as it has that eventual "you will win" scenario because you just respawn if you die (if you do something on each floor prior to dying).

GZDoom makes Doom feel a lot better. It is the only way I really started enjoying it. Add brutal doom, some difficulty mods to increase the damage of all the enemies, 10x the number of enemies in a map so they come in massive swarms, and then go to town with some remixed metal versions of the soundtrack. Well, maybe it was a bit more than GZDoom, but that was the start. You may get a machine gun, but you would need it against the machine gunning guys and the super powerful shotgun guys.

Benny's Dead is off to a good start, it might just be the best FM for Thief 2 I have played.

EDIT: Well, that didn't last long. I don't think it is appropriate for a ton of sound bytes using various memes to somehow be part of a Thief level. Sad too, there were some interesting locations before I heard those sounds.
