There's a big difference between inhaling cigarette smoke and the original comment which was "inhaling a cigarette" :) I don't think any member of DT has ever inhaled a cigarette. ~Chris (not the originator) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Feb 1996 00:25:30 EST From: email_address_removed (MR JOHN CAHILLJR) To: email_address_removed Subject: Poetry quotes Message-ID: Hey Ken the Gather ye rosebuds quote is from a John Keats poem, or so my 11th grade English teacher led me to believe. It was also quoted in the movie " Dead poets society". [Your teacher is wrong. Norton Anthology of English Literature Vol 1, p1327 "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" by Robert Herrick. First line: "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" the rest follows the sample from Dead Poets' Society. Most of the list already knows both of these points since they have been beaten to death ever since ACOS was released--kbibb] Also to the guy out there bashing Nico McBrain from Iron Maiden, you are an over opinionated, uneducated idiot who knows absolutely nothing about the drums. At a recent clinic I asked Mike what he thought of IM and he replied that he loved NM's playing. Harrumph to you.

I got over 200 requests for it, and emailed them all out...whew! The feedback has been great, and I want to respond to a few questions/comments on the level: 1. Yes, the level can be beaten!:) I know that many find the number of monsters in the level to be too challenging, but I guess I wasn't thinking of skill levels...sorry:). I can waste the entire level in 4 minutes, but I compete with some pretty dangerous doomers. You can always use the cheat codes IDDQD and IDKFA to help wipe out all the monsters and just view the level...just type them in while you are playing. 2. The file was zipped with Pkzip. Just unzip it to your doom2 directory and run by using this command line: DOOM2 -FILE DT.WAD 3. I did recieve a couple of "critiques" who managed to find things that thought could've been done better...coincidentally, they seem to be the same people that will go to a live show and listen for mistakes, then write about them on the net. All I can say is that if I had more time to perfect the level, maybe I could've met the high standards of those few users, but working 2 jobs just doesn't allow 12 hours a day to make video games.:) All in all, the majority of responses were pleasing! You people made it worth the 40some hours it took to create!! 4. To get out of the Ytsejam pit, just run up to the Ytse symbol, facing it, hit the spacebar. I will lower to the floor, and then you just run into the center to teleport out of it. Use the same technique to open the door (with skulls on it) to the spider room and the exit. 5. For those that asked, the guy with the car in the exit doorway is me. 6. If there is anyone at all that has any way or means to get that level to the band for them to try it, I would be eternally greatful! If they don't have access to a PC with doom2 on it, they are welcome to come over and try it on my PC anytime!:) TOPIC 2: People have been mentioning DT and drugs....I have been a musician for about 16 years, and during about 6 of those years I had a bad drug problem. You don't write and play music the way DT does when you're on drugs people!!!! TRUST ME! If they were doing any serious dope, there is NO WAY you would see these precise instrumental performances that they pull of on stage every night!!! I think we need to have a little more respect for the band. TOPIC 3: Stop in to the Ytsejam IRC channel some time and chat! If you don't have IRC, just download it off the net somewhere...just do a search on IRC, and follow links til ya find it. It's easy to use. When you get it, just add this server to the list and login: irc.dreamt.org (set the port to 2112) Bye for now, Dave (email_address_removed) ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 1256 **************************
