Hideous Destructor | Dreary Hauler | No Failure Run
18I've already mentioned aeons ago how Hideous Destructor has had changes to its mechanics depending on the IWAD being loaded, but I don't think I've talked about how Matt (HDest's developer) has essentially forked FreeDoom itself to presumably have better control on the assets and internal storyline within. HDest itself has been altered with filters for specifically LT, no longer working with mainline FreeDoom, so we'll probably be going with Lotan's Tomb instead from now on. id's IWADs are naturally unaffected.
Anyways, Dreary Hauler! I remember some folks were running this map, but I was surprised to not have found any recordings of said runs on ol' YT. It's possible that I haven't been looking thoroughly enough, but still. Either way, decided I'd chip in and do my own with Lotan's Tomb and the scifi set. Been a while since I've run with the latter. It plays pretty great with HDest, having plenty of close quarters fighting with decent supplies and cover for some of the heavier encounters. The fight with the viles were exhilarating.
