ZDaemon Thursday Night Survival #90 - Armadosia: the Mad Corridor (Part I)
Time for another TNS! This week our crew has chosen something more complex to go through: Armadosia. This wad was released in 2006, and we think it is an overall nice mapset with some nasty traps and surprises. Levels are long and simply mapped and not very focused on slaughter action but tactic and closed combat. Join us this Thursday as we try to explore the depths of this jewel!

Odamex 0.6.3 Released
With so many great enhancements being coded into Odamex for version 0.7, the dev team and community felt it necessary to create a holdover release for the little open source multiplayer engine that could. Odamex 0.6.3 introduces improved ZDoom 1.23b33 compatibility, further improvements to the sound engine, the ability to mute enemies and spectators, and the ability to connect to "DOS" 1.9 servers with Freedoom and Doom 3: BFG Edition's version...

The /newstuff Chronicles #430
dew on Velocity CTF X: Velocity CTF is a pleasantly fine full mapset with one of the highest hit-to-shit ratios in the CTF business. Some maps already hit the IDL selection and more may find their way in in the future, which should be a mark of validation on its own. I personally prefer this wad over 32in24-12 as a whole, and one day I'll go back in time to kill Xaser, and posing as him I'll award the 2012 multiplayer Cacoward to VeloCTF instea...

Reimagination is more important than knowledge
David "Tolwyn" Shaw has recently re-imagined Backroad Wanderer (Memento Mori 2 Map 10) as part of an experiment to re-imagine all of his songs he's done for various music projects in the 90s. Tolwyn explains:
JD Herrera started to inspire me with his 're-imagining' of a lot of the songs Mark [Klem] and I did for Doom from the 90s. In the middle of all of that, Mark and I started working together in the studio again (made up of myself, Mark, ...
