Read the review of the entire series plus much more ranting on the overuse of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beware of spoilers, I think.

The only reason I did was for the sake of this review. Two hundred fifty pages of pure chore. The Freds ugh are dead. Well, the ones on the ship our intrepid h Read the review of the entire series plus much more ranting on the overuse of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, the ones on the ship our intrepid heroes are travelling on are. The entire species of Freds … are dead, killed by a rapidly evolving alien species dubbed the Newbies.

One Newbie remains on Fredworld, and the gang realizes the rest of the Newbies are headed for the planet Skinwalker and then Earth. How they obtained this information, I have no idea.

I nodded off and skipped a few pages. These humans are hundreds of years younger than Fly and Arlene would have been had they remained on Earth. As you can imagine, humanity has changed quite a bit over the past couple centuries.

The entire planet is now a communist state, and humans are terrified of death, being the only species in the universe that can die. Everyone else just hangs out in their corpse until rebirth.

I shit you not. Being that they fear death, they look out only for themselves and have no sense of unity. Fly is horrified by this, despite claiming to be an unapologetic individualist in the previous novel. These humans kill the two Klaves I think. They end up dead somehow. Does it matter? What I am about to describe actually happens in the book. I swear. Fly then realizes he can destroy the Newbies by convincing the humans of the value of faith. Let me say that again: Fly then realizes he can destroy the Newbies by convincing the humans of the value of faith.

What kind of faith? Faith in God or other humans, but if they remain with their current lack of any kind of belief, the Newbies will survive. Fly and Arlene then preach their way to victory or so it would seem. They rescue a lot of humans but are eventually overwhelmed and tied down. The Newbie-infected humans force Fly and Arlene into a computer simulation of the demon-infested Phobos, where Fly has to repeat the efforts detailed in the first book. When he encounters the first imp, he realizes he can preach to the imp and thus get it to join forces with him.

Fly then gets the imp to preach the good word of blah blah blah to the other demons, thus forming a rag-tag band of brothers blasting their way through Phobos. They eventually find Arlene. We switch to a new chapter and find Fly and Arlene arriving on Earth. They then go to Salt Lake City to find Albert, hoping he succeeded in cryogenically freezing himself.

They find his ashes and a naked clone of Jill, which Fly ogles over, which is creepy because Jill is fifteen years old. Then we change chapters again and Fly and Arlene are back in the simulation.

Oh, and this version of Fly and Arlene is their copy. Am I dense? Did I nod off one too many times? Hugh and Linaweaver mentioned the copy nonsense once, then neglected to transition between the chapters concerning the copies and the ones concerning actual version of Fly and Arlene. This book is diabolically bad. For several reasons.

If you cut out most of the aliens and focused on one set of them and cut out all the exclamation points , the story would be too short to print. Additionally, schools of literary thought are warring on each other.

The only possible way to end this war is to preach the merits of faith. It occurs to me now that we are dealing with self-published Christian hack writer nonsense, but the problem is that this book has been published. Did no one other than the two writers read this before sending it to the printer? Probably not, and I doubt the writers read their final draft either. Moreover, Fly becomes increasingly hostile to college students for no fucking valid reason other than Linaweaver hates leftie college students.

There are no college students in this story! Faith solves all problems. I should have been tipped off to this nonsense by the lack of violence in these novels.

For a series about gunning down zombies and demons, the descriptions of the deaths are not graphic in the slightest.

The curious use of expletives, or lack thereof, should have tipped me off as well. Maybe they wanted to spread their faithful message to the heathen players of violent videos games, and they knew if they could hook them with the first two volumes, then readers would be obligated to finish the series.

I realize this sounds conspiratorial, but what possible reason could they have for penning these stories? A garbage plot is fine. I want that. I mean, look at the covers. Give me Fly and Arlene, an arsenal of weapons, and room after room of baddies to eliminate.

I would read a thousand pages of that. A thousand pages of this? There are so many more productive and entertaining things I could be doing, like ironing my socks or cutting my lawn with a pair of scissors. So my curiosity is satisfied. I now know that the final two novels are bad. Go ahead and find out for yourself.

The Evening Reader Thoughts on books to read in your spare time The Red Pen of Doom Conventional wisdom about writing is conventionally wrong. Christine Hanolsy Author. Kait Gets Lit. This is the first episode of DOOM by id software. Your objective is simply to locate the exit room that leads to the next area, while surviving all hazards on the way.

Run through every room and shoot everything and everybody crossing your way. There is only one rule to this game: show no mercy! Keep an eye on your ammo, health and armor and stay focused at all times so your enemies don't stand a chance. This video game series started in and has ever since been treated as a pioneer in first person shooter games. You were ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio picked up the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally silence.

Seems your buddies are dead. Things aren't looking too good. You'll never navigate off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons have been taken by the assault team leaving you only with a pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your way out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple of pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod.

Hopefully you can find more substantial firepower somewhere within the station. As you walk through the main entrance of the base, you hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors.

They know you're here. There's no turning back now. Doom is a first-person shooter with a background setting that mixes science fiction and horror of the weird menace style , presented in the form of three episodes, each taking place in a separate general location and played separately. The primary objective of each level is simply to locate the exit room that leads to the next area conveniently labeled with a red EXIT sign , while surviving all hazards along the way.

Among the obstacles are monsters, pits of radioactive waste , ceilings that descend to crush the player, and locked doors for which a key or remote switch need to be located.

The levels are sometimes labyrinthine the automap is a crucial aid in navigating them , and feature plenty of hidden rooms that hold powerups as a reward for players who explore thoroughly. A tally screen at the end of each level except the last of each episode, which describes part of the plot helps players aiming for additional objectives, such as clearing the levels of monsters or finding secret areas.

Aside from the single-player game mode, Doom features two multiplayer modes usable over a network : co-operative mode, in which two to four players team up against the legions of hell, and deathmatch mode, in which the same number of players fight each other.

The enemy monsters are Doom's central gameplay element. There are 10 types of monster, including possessed humans as well as demons of different strength, ranging from weaker but ubiquitous Imps and red, floating Cacodemons to the bosses , which tend to survive multiple strikes even from the player's strongest weapons. The monsters generally exhibit very simple AI , and thus most cases must outnumber the player to triumph although great numbers can sometimes prove counterproductive due to monster infighting.

Doom's weapon arsenal was highly distinctive in and eventually became prototypical for first-person shooters. The player starts out armed only with a pistol , and brass-knuckled fists in case his ammunition runs out, but larger weapons can be picked up: a chainsaw , a shotgun , a chaingun , a rocket launcher , a plasma gun , and the immensely powerful BFG The first-episode shareware format of the initial release offered a substantial and freely playable taste of the game, which could be distributed with ease on floppy disks , over the Internet, and in CD-ROM packages, thus encouraging players and retailers to spread Doom as widely as possible.

By the shareware version was estimated to have been installed on more than 10 million computers. The full or registered version of Doom, containing all three episodes, was only available by mail order; although most users did not purchase the registered version, over one million copies have been sold, and this popularity helped the sales of later games in the Doom series, which were not released as shareware.

The original Doom did eventually receive a retail release as well, when it was offered in an expanded version as The Ultimate Doom adding a fourth episode. Doom was also widely praised by the gaming press. In addition to the thrilling nature of the single-player game, the deathmatch mode was an important factor in the game's popularity. Doom was not the first first-person perspective shooting game with a face to face competitive mode MIDI Maze , on the Atari ST , had one in , but it introduced the term deathmatch to games and was the first to use Ethernet connections, and the combination of violence and gore with fighting friends made deathmatching in Doom particularly attractive.

Due to its widespread distribution, Doom became the game that popularize the mode of play to a large audience. An important feature of the Doom engine is a modular approach that allows game content to be replaced by custom patch files , known as PWADs. Wolfenstein 3D had not been designed this way, but fans had nevertheless figured out how to create their own levels for it, and id Software decided to push this phenomenon further.

The first level editors appeared in early , followed over the next few years by additional tools which allow most aspects of the game to be edited. Some add-on files were also made that changed the sounds made by the various characters and weapons.
