Welcome back to another playthrough, fellow Doomers. The wad of interest is Evil Egypt, the 23rd entry in the varied and constantly expanding catalogue of Doomer Boards Projects. As its title implies, Evil Egypt's focus is on reproducing the aesthetic of Ancient Egypt, combined with the traditional hellish visuals of Doom. This set will definitely appeal to fans of games like PowerSlave or other Ancient Egypt-themed Doom wads like Epic 2, but I'm hoping that viewers who are broadly interested in Doom will also get a kick out of it. Enough talk, let's slay some demons!

Additional notes
---------------------------
A cheerful progression stopper where we are at open sea on our boat. Having finally escaped Evil Egypt, we're ready for more adventures. Though the title clearly has links to Maiden's track, it could also be interpreted as a reference to the line "just a rhyme without a reason" from Metallica's "Master of Puppets". Damn cool stuff.

This concludes my playthrough of Evil Egypt, thank you for watching! A warm thank you to the crew responsible for another great DBP journey: 40oz (project lead), thegrb, NaZa, Jaxxoon R, DooM_RO, vigilantdoomer, dmdr, Big Ol' Billy, joe-ilya, Phobus, and glenzinho.
