Doom (1993 Video Game)

 It is crazy to think how far the Doom franchise has come since 1993 and this game started it off. Doom was released by id software and to say it changed the game for video gaming would be an incredible understatement.

This was the third independent released game by id at that point with the first being Commander Keen and then Wolfenstein 3D. But when Doom first came out, it blow the roof off the video game industry with its intense gameplay, loads of weapons and power ups, etc. It all led to Doom becoming one of the most influential games of all time, especially within the first person shooter genre.

The original game featured three episodes with nine levels each including a fourth episode that was added a few years later.

The storyline for Doom has the player follows an unnamed space marine who would be later known as Doomguy. He was sent to the planet Mars for assaulting his superior officer who had ordered him to fire on civilians. 

Doomguy soon learns that he must fight his way through hordes of demons and possessed space marines in order to survive.

Which leads me to my first point as to why this game was so much fun. The story was simple, a ton of demons are after you and all you got to do is run and gun.

And there certainly was plenty of weapons to choose from pistols, shotguns, chain guns, you name it, Doomguy uses it. Personally, I really love using the BFG 9000!

The success of this game really propelled id to where it is today as well as a number of sequels to the Doom franchise. And with Doom: The Dark Ages recently being released, players can now go back and kick some demon butt.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
