It's wild to see him embrace source port features that were completely absent from the original. One would assume that if anyone in the world would be a classic DOOM purist, it'd be John Romero, but he seems more interested in what the map designers had in mind.
yeah gzdoom's menu is a special kind of fucked up they tried making it easier to manage with the "show full options menu" button, but that just adds to the confusion. At least they added a search feature lol
@@donavenhollow5709 Well the nice thing is if you are a modder preparing a wad, you can configure the options down to just what you want users to have access to. Its more of a big dev toolkit than a source port at this point.
That drives me nuts that he only scratches the surface of MyHouse. It's pretty funny seeing the muscle memory kick in with Underhalls, but I'm surprised he didn't seem to notice that he was taller.

To be fair this was is made on UDMF allowing for far more features and tricks that the original map format never could. So, technically is no longer vainilla doom territory.
@@AVAtistarEven still, things were achieved that aren't even possible in GZDoom since it's pretty much a fancy derivative of Vanilla doom. A lot of fancy tricks were used to make this thing work and you can tell.
@@SpaghettiMaker I know what you mean, but technically all these things are possible in GZDoom since it runs on unmodified GZDoom. But yeah, there are some really clever tricks used that utilize the GZDoom engine in novel ways.
@@AVAtistar Yup, modern tools be how the map is possible. Keep in mind, Romero is also familiar with these tools too. He recently released SIGIL, and is working on SIGIL 2. There's also videos dissecting the map and the way it's all setup is something to behold.
As a fan of Doom since the very first shareware days, this is genuinely a treat. I feel like I learned a Hell of a lot about the man who helped make one of my favorite games of all time. However, having said that - YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS AGAIN, JOHN. There's more that you haven't seen. A lot more.
I still have my two 1.44" floppies! They were handing these out at a Comdex convention or something similar at the Infomart in Dallas back in what ?? 1993-94 I took home a copy loaded it up and played for weeks. we then learned that you could use a serial cable between two systems and play multiplayer and then we got fancy and learned that you could network them together using COAX over 10base2 using the Novell driver to start the IPX. My and my room mate at the time spent months (probably a year) playing this game and I have played every one since. This one game probably changed my life more than most anything else in my life because after I got addicted to this, I still play almost every FPS to this day. I can not even comprehend the thousands and thousands of hours I have in these games. Thanks JR.
This is great. It is really cool to see John Romero enjoying community WADs. Modern game developers could take notes here. Mods aren't bad! They are what keeps this community thriving. Thank you john Romero for not only creating DOOM, but staying true to your inner gamer and being able to enjoy what others have done with it.
I love it how John keeps going through all the obvious stuff that changes without noticing, like the impossible hallway and it's appearing and disappearing doors BUT he does notice the super subtle things like how playstation turns into an xbox.
I’ve just watched the almost 2 hour video from power pak about this mod. I couldn’t look away for just one second. What an incredible depth this mod has, also in combination with the pictures the journal and everything. This is amazing.
@@shemsuhor8763 Ancient Aliens with Project Brutality mod or even see him blaze with Russian Overkill. The ultimate power trip. You do have to be familiar with the weapons to really own though.
@@baumhauser Spot-on assessment. The WAD toys with the concept of liminal spaces at times, and that section of the level was inspired by a famous "liminal space" photograph that was taken at Holiday Inn at Heathrow Airport. Also, the house changing frequently (including an easter egg if you open one of the closets several times) is a reference to the book House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. One of the text documents that accompanies the WAD also seems to indicate that as an influence by highlighting each instance of the word "house" in blue, just like in the book.
The work put into this WAD (or piece of multi-media art) has been vindicated by the millions of views by now but to have John Romero actually play it must be a trip.
This is such a thrill to just watch, cant imagine what a thrill it is to see for those who made the wad and to Romero to witness that out of something he originally created came something like this decades later.
You know, it's funny. The one person I watched play this who knew nothing about Doom found most of the secrets easily. Everyone familiar with the game seems to miss things because their expectations about the game leads to them not trying things they assume won't work.
What I find interesting about this is that people play it so many different ways. I have seen people very familiar with Doom also find all the stuff. But there mainly the types that makes maps. And so they get a tingling little feeling about what to explore. Like they know the limitation and such but will go exploring those limitations just for that. But many of the more experience regular players tend just to play it in a way in how they expect doom to work. In it quite interesting.
It's a very interesting thing really, it goes deeper than that. For example I've created a few non-linear Half-Life 2 levels and linear Doom 2 levels. Half-Life 2 players didn't like the non-linearity, while Doom players didn't like the linearity. It shows exactly why it's so hard to create something unique. The response is often negative, even if the ideas are about normal in isolation. There is just an incompatibility. But it's also impossible to fix it the other way around, because Doom 2 players rarely will just play a Half-Life 2 level, and vice versa.
The dude isn't dead, it's a made up story for the story plot of this wad, the guy who posted this wad already said it's a copy of an already older wad from the mid 2000's
What I love most about this wad is that it couldn't have been made in anything other than Doom. One of the best things about it is the aged technology; there's this amazing atmosphere here that could only be captured with tech from that era. The nostalgia, the sound, the liminal spaces, the 90s! There's something about certain media from the 90s that's inherently creepy, more so than any other era for me. The VHS vibes, this; and there's a certain quality to some of the film from the early 90s that gives me a sickening, anxious familiarity that I can't quite put my finger on. And thanks to the internet, I know I'm not the only one.
I recommend Mark Z. Danielewski's "House of Leaves" - That book appears to have inspired this map, the "Navidson Realty" sign is a reference to one of the characters. :)
It speaks a ton that even getting one of the lesser endings in MYHOUSE still is such a trip to experience. I'm really happy he caught the playstation to xbox change since that's one of the first major points where the map starts to show it's hand on how quickly things will change around you if you're not noticing.
It's so sick to see you playing this. Some of the best work the community has ever seen and a great tribute from Veddge. Crazy good detail, effort and heart put into it showing in every sector. Shoutouts to Vinny Vinesauce, I saw his upload the other month and had to pause immediately to read the original post and play it blind myself. Well worth it because of all the wads I've enjoyed these past decade's this one hit that special spot.

The soul sphere not being visible while you're outside, during the Playstation days, until you're inside the house and you can see it out the window waiting for you. Then you go through the journey of trying to escape your house, and don't see it waiting for you outside anymore. The usual monsters turn into scary monsters, your house burns up. If only you could leave your house and get your soul back. Ominous. Whoever made this, well, they're a true artist.
He’s alive? I thought he tragically passed away when he was decapitated and impaled upon a spike behind the Icon of Sin in Doom 2. In all seriousness, it’s kind of surreal seeing a developer of a game playing it 30 years later. And I’m sure it’s the same way for him.
Never in my life would I have thought that I would be watching the legend John Romero playing a retro game in 2023. What an absolute treat, and thank you for an awsome childhood, almost all the games that you have worked on are still in the back of my head. In fact if I think about computer games, I mostly remember specifically these games.
OMG yessss go through again, you cleared underhalls but didn't get back to the house. Stuff changes after underhalls! But no more spoilers! You must experience! Hope you enjoy, really liked watching you check this out. It's such a great wad, not really for combat, but just the craziness of the level design.
@@AVAtistar basicly after thinking you completed myhouse, if you play the underhalls for some fun and continue to play it, next level changes and you get back to myhouse again! but now with all the weapons and health you got from underhalls
I always do too but when you're playing something like GZDoom with custom mods texture filtering might be what the modder intended unless they specify. Want 1:1 classic experience on modern hardware you play something like Chocolate/Crispy/DZSA Doom
I hope someone in chat pointed out to him that the next map that queues up is Underhalls because it has a house in it. If not, then John, if you're reading this: the level doesn't end when you exit the level. You go to another house level. And then if you finish Underhalls and keep going, you go BACK INTO MYHOUSE.WAD. The ride never ends! The level is heavily inspired by the novel called The House of Leaves; if you're interested in some unique horror I hear it's a good book
I love how the part at 49:38 is overlooked by some, but others freak the fuck out about it. This video has been a treat so far, and I'm sad it looks like the whole map isn't explored. Still really cool to see our good ol' boy, the actual Icon of Sin himself, play this crazy ass doom mod nearly 30 years on. Fun fact, but Doom 1 and 2 were my first played PC games as a kid. My dad somehow got a virus/broke the computer and we had to call a PC guy. He didn't have DOOM, but he installed Duke3d and said "it's basically the same." I hated it at the time, but I love it now. gzDoom is basically just Duke3d on crack as far as the engine goes. Long story short, I saw sprite tiddies at a far too young age, but still preferred DOOM. Still do to this day.
I love how back in the day PC guys were just random dudes and they often just installed pirated games alongside repairing your OS. Also, you still see sprite tiddies to this day, or prefer doom?
@@Dorumin Funny you say that because my Uncle set up our PC for us and installed DOOM with the OS. My dad did something to fuck up Windows and we had to call some PC repair guy because none of us were any sort of tech savvy and he basically had to just do a fresh install of windows 95. Because I loved doom so much my dad asked the guy if he could install DOOM to which he replied "no, but I have something better" and installed Duke 3D, hence where the sprite tiddies comment came from. (There was also Daggerfall.) 'Course, what with the wonderfully perverted world we live in today, there's always H-Doom if you want both Doom and 2d sprite tiddies. lol
@@Dorumin After a visit to the repair shop, I had an install of "MAME 10000 GAMES" appear on my desktop, it opened to an endless list of games and I had a blast through classics like 1942, Street Fighter and Dig Dug. A lot of them had "bootleg" in the titles meaning some weird changes. Sadly, the PC broke again and we took it to another repair man and the 10000 games didn't survive the format.
One of the fun things about this map is that the experience extends outside it - there's a decent amount of supplementary material that acts as paratext for the actual playthrough. (some of it functions as a hint book) Even some of the mapping techniques fit into the broader backstory.
@@AVAtistar Yeah you're supposed to go through Underhalls to get the super shotgun. One of the things I love about My House is how you build up your arsenal. Shotgun from first house. Chaingun from second. Super shotgun from Underhalls. Plasma from Brutalist, but only if you collected the otherwise unnecessary blue card. BFG from the horror bathroom, but only if you paid attention to the screenshot on the Google drive. Rocket launcher only near the end - for the slaughter. The fact that the super shotgun is not in the map itself, but only Underhalls, I think suggests that you are supposed to go through Underhalls at least once.
thank god Romero is still alive to play more fan Doom content. honestly, a lot of creators of wonderful stuff don't seem to be with us to experience new content originally made by them. Thanks for playing fan wads, Mr. Romero.
@@mirabilis Probably yes. The whole thing seems to portray someone's life, and after the fire they apparently ended up in a drab grey apartment, with a dog they really loved but who tended to misbehave? And they couldn't get rid of the misbehaving dog without getting rid of the animal they loved. Or that's my interpretation anyway.
The fact that he's just sitting there with a mid quality gamer headset with a garbage quality mic serves to remind us that he isn't just a shining god of gaming. He's also a normal dude just like the rest of us, a regular guy who worked hard with a handful other people to be the first. He changed the world, and with enough vision, ambition, and blind luck, maybe you could achieve some form of greatness yourself. You don't have to be a god to move mountains.
Also if you're reading this, get a Sennheiser gaming headset. The mic on the PC37X is so clean, the audio quality is really good for HDR music, and there are other models if you want something that drips.
I love how he just casually keeps playing through Underhalls as if he hasn't played that level 10,000 times already, and you can still just hear the joy at visceral moments of blowing enemies away and picking up weapons and ammo. John's truly an artist who loves his work.
Damn .. JR logged off JUST before loading e1m3 .. amazing :) so now Im gonna do a minor spoil forgive me everyone ... JOOOOHN YOU HADNT LEFT THE HOUUUUSEEE! lol
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I literally scoured the internet for any mention of this like not even 2 weeks ago!! So awesome! Can't wait to see this! ❤❤
This is so fun to watch. You can tell at the beginning it's been awhile since Romero's played Doom but as the video continues it all comes right back to him.
Everybody says John's a dick, but he seems like a nice guy during this video and for even making the video and playing this mod. I can't imagine how excited the guy who made MYHOUSE must be. Not only knowing Romero played his mod, but being able to see him play it and actually be interested.
I think both carmack and romero got egos, but they're both geniuses in very very different ways. Romero gets game design in a way that Carmack simply can't despite being a technical wizard in by all rights. So they cannot really see eye to eye exactly, but when they collaborated they produced masterpieces.
This is the first time I've heard John speak in over a decade perhaps and it amazes me how he's well into his 50s but his voice sounds so clean and youthful, like he's only in his young 20s.
i'm so looking forward to part 2. John is the guy uniquely qualified to truly appreciate this mod. A little bit of a shame that he has not seen most of it yet and quit early, but he's still very apt at spotting the way you're supposed to progress.
You can tell by the fact that he mashes E at every chance he gets that this is the man that created Doom.

Real question is: Did the WAD make Romero its bitch?

That drives me nuts that he only scratches the surface of MyHouse. It's pretty funny seeing the muscle memory kick in with Underhalls, but I'm surprised he didn't seem to notice that he was taller.
I noticed that!!! Thank you for confirming I"m not crazy!
I assumed he just didn't call it out because it was rather obvious.
Probably cause it's a slight change, he didn't say anything about the smoother animations either.
It's truly heart warming to see one of the greatest minds of our generation struggle with audio levels.

@@Blake4014 Not to trample on Carmacks legacy - Romero still has a lot of merit behind him. It was just more on the line that there's not too many sure fire ways to mix your audio without asking your audience.

I love seeing Romero amused at all the tricks going on. To impress one of the developers of DOOM itself, bravo to creator(s) of this wad!
To be fair this was is made on UDMF allowing for far more features and tricks that the original map format never could. So, technically is no longer vainilla doom territory.
@@AVAtistarEven still, things were achieved that aren't even possible in GZDoom since it's pretty much a fancy derivative of Vanilla doom. A lot of fancy tricks were used to make this thing work and you can tell.
@@SpaghettiMaker I know what you mean, but technically all these things are possible in GZDoom since it runs on unmodified GZDoom. But yeah, there are some really clever tricks used that utilize the GZDoom engine in novel ways.
@@AVAtistar Yup, modern tools be how the map is possible.
Keep in mind, Romero is also familiar with these tools too. He recently released SIGIL, and is working on SIGIL 2.
There's also videos dissecting the map and the way it's all setup is something to behold.

As a fan of Doom since the very first shareware days, this is genuinely a treat. I feel like I learned a Hell of a lot about the man who helped make one of my favorite games of all time. However, having said that - YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS AGAIN, JOHN. There's more that you haven't seen. A lot more.
oh he said he would, more is to come
I still have my two 1.44" floppies! They were handing these out at a Comdex convention or something similar at the Infomart in Dallas back in what ?? 1993-94 I took home a copy loaded it up and played for weeks. we then learned that you could use a serial cable between two systems and play multiplayer and then we got fancy and learned that you could network them together using COAX over 10base2 using the Novell driver to start the IPX. My and my room mate at the time spent months (probably a year) playing this game and I have played every one since. This one game probably changed my life more than most anything else in my life because after I got addicted to this, I still play almost every FPS to this day.

I love how his first reaction on seeing all the windows is to compare it to Cube
That was my reaction too, but actually it seems to have been modelled after the Holiday Inn at Heathrow Airport.
It is an unforgettable movie ngl
yeah that was my immediate reaction too. fantastic film
@@baumhauser Spot-on assessment. The WAD toys with the concept of liminal spaces at times, and that section of the level was inspired by a famous "liminal space" photograph that was taken at Holiday Inn at Heathrow Airport. Also, the house changing frequently (including an easter egg if you open one of the closets several times) is a reference to the book House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. One of the text documents that accompanies the WAD also seems to indicate that as an influence by highlighting each instance of the word "house" in blue, just like in the book.
It seems John missed the current liminal space hype.
The work put into this WAD (or piece of multi-media art) has been vindicated by the millions of views by now but to have John Romero actually play it must be a trip.
My House is actual genius tier design, what an incredible WAD. I love how John plays like anyone else, what a cool dude.
This is such a thrill to just watch, cant imagine what a thrill it is to see for those who made the wad and to Romero to witness that out of something he originally created came something like this decades later.
You know, it's funny. The one person I watched play this who knew nothing about Doom found most of the secrets easily. Everyone familiar with the game seems to miss things because their expectations about the game leads to them not trying things they assume won't work.
What I find interesting about this is that people play it so many different ways. I have seen people very familiar with Doom also find all the stuff. But there mainly the types that makes maps. And so they get a tingling little feeling about what to explore. Like they know the limitation and such but will go exploring those limitations just for that. But many of the more experience regular players tend just to play it in a way in how they expect doom to work. In it quite interesting.
It's a very interesting thing really, it goes deeper than that.
For example I've created a few non-linear Half-Life 2 levels and linear Doom 2 levels.
Half-Life 2 players didn't like the non-linearity, while Doom players didn't like the linearity.
It shows exactly why it's so hard to create something unique. The response is often negative, even if the ideas are about normal in isolation. There is just an incompatibility.
But it's also impossible to fix it the other way around, because Doom 2 players rarely will just play a Half-Life 2 level, and vice versa.
Never played Doom and found most secrets easily? Bullshit or he must've played a shitload of other games like that.

Sad he missed the airport bathroom, one of the coolest moments in this mod, but hoping for Part 2
What I love most about this wad is that it couldn't have been made in anything other than Doom. One of the best things about it is the aged technology; there's this amazing atmosphere here that could only be captured with tech from that era. The nostalgia, the sound, the liminal spaces, the 90s! There's something about certain media from the 90s that's inherently creepy, more so than any other era for me. The VHS vibes, this; and there's a certain quality to some of the film from the early 90s that gives me a sickening, anxious familiarity that I can't quite put my finger on. And thanks to the internet, I know I'm not the only one.
That level gets way crazier. Gotta fill up the sinks and check the collectables on the picture frames. Total fever dream and very impressive
I particularly liked the archvile on the other side
I recommend Mark Z. Danielewski's "House of Leaves" - That book appears to have inspired this map, the "Navidson Realty" sign is a reference to one of the characters. :)
It speaks a ton that even getting one of the lesser endings in MYHOUSE still is such a trip to experience. I'm really happy he caught the playstation to xbox change since that's one of the first major points where the map starts to show it's hand on how quickly things will change around you if you're not noticing.
It's so sick to see you playing this. Some of the best work the community has ever seen and a great tribute from Veddge. Crazy good detail, effort and heart put into it showing in every sector. Shoutouts to Vinny Vinesauce, I saw his upload the other month and had to pause immediately to read the original post and play it blind myself. Well worth it because of all the wads I've enjoyed these past decade's this one hit that special spot.

so great to see Romero play this game, apparently even the maker of the game is constantly running along walls and pushing space bar.
The soul sphere not being visible while you're outside, during the Playstation days, until you're inside the house and you can see it out the window waiting for you. Then you go through the journey of trying to escape your house, and don't see it waiting for you outside anymore. The usual monsters turn into scary monsters, your house burns up. If only you could leave your house and get your soul back. Ominous. Whoever made this, well, they're a true artist.
I love it when he sees a clever texture usage and goes "yup"
you know you've made it when john romero plays your mod
He’s alive? I thought he tragically passed away when he was decapitated and impaled upon a spike behind the Icon of Sin in Doom 2.
In all seriousness, it’s kind of surreal seeing a developer of a game playing it 30 years later. And I’m sure it’s the same way for him.
MyHouse is such a work of art. pushes the engine to it's limits, and delivers one hell of an experience.

It's almost a fever dream in itself watching you, of all people, playing this fever dream fck of a game lol
Never in my life would I have thought that I would be watching the legend John Romero playing a retro game in 2023. What an absolute treat, and thank you for an awsome childhood, almost all the games that you have worked on are still in the back of my head. In fact if I think about computer games, I mostly remember specifically these games.
16:10 the discord noise got me even though I knew it was going to happen
OMG yessss go through again, you cleared underhalls but didn't get back to the house. Stuff changes after underhalls!

Love watching John while he plows through a level i'm sure he created.
What an occasion this was!
The fact that he never turned off texture filtering makes me want to cry
I always do too but when you're playing something like GZDoom with custom mods texture filtering might be what the modder intended unless they specify. Want 1:1 classic experience on modern hardware you play something like Chocolate/Crispy/DZSA Doom
@@HitPointX I mean, yea, there are some specific cases where you would use filtering, but I don't think this map is one of them
i was sobbing the whole time ( ╥﹏╥)
I hope someone in chat pointed out to him that the next map that queues up is Underhalls because it has a house in it. If not, then John, if you're reading this: the level doesn't end when you exit the level. You go to another house level. And then if you finish Underhalls and keep going, you go BACK INTO MYHOUSE.WAD. The ride never ends! The level is heavily inspired by the novel called The House of Leaves; if you're interested in some unique horror I hear it's a good book
This mod is better when it's not spoiled. Let him discover stuff himself, that's the fun of it
Also, if you pick up the Super Shotgun in Underhalls, you get to keep it next time you go through the house. Very helpful!
also you can get in underhalls in the mirror-world version
I love how the part at 49:38 is overlooked by some, but others freak the fuck out about it. This video has been a treat so far, and I'm sad it looks like the whole map isn't explored. Still really cool to see our good ol' boy, the actual Icon of Sin himself, play this crazy ass doom mod nearly 30 years on. Fun fact, but Doom 1 and 2 were my first played PC games as a kid. My dad somehow got a virus/broke the computer and we had to call a PC guy. He didn't have DOOM, but he installed Duke3d and said "it's basically the same." I hated it at the time, but I love it now. gzDoom is basically just Duke3d on crack as far as the engine goes. Long story short, I saw sprite tiddies at a far too young age, but still preferred DOOM. Still do to this day.
I love how back in the day PC guys were just random dudes and they often just installed pirated games alongside repairing your OS. Also, you still see sprite tiddies to this day, or prefer doom?
@@Dorumin Funny you say that because my Uncle set up our PC for us and installed DOOM with the OS. My dad did something to fuck up Windows and we had to call some PC repair guy because none of us were any sort of tech savvy and he basically had to just do a fresh install of windows 95. Because I loved doom so much my dad asked the guy if he could install DOOM to which he replied "no, but I have something better" and installed Duke 3D, hence where the sprite tiddies comment came from. (There was also Daggerfall.) 'Course, what with the wonderfully perverted world we live in today, there's always H-Doom if you want both Doom and 2d sprite tiddies. lol
@@Dorumin After a visit to the repair shop, I had an install of "MAME 10000 GAMES" appear on my desktop, it opened to an endless list of games and I had a blast through classics like 1942, Street Fighter and Dig Dug. A lot of them had "bootleg" in the titles meaning some weird changes. Sadly, the PC broke again and we took it to another repair man and the 10000 games didn't survive the format.
Not to stroke Romero's ego too much but this is like God coming down to play around with a Lego structure you made.

@@grimfist79 Your opinion, friend. There wouldn't be a Doom to do all this stuff with without Romero.
When this WAD and it’s glory first came across my YT recommends I had no idea it would lead to this. And I love it.
One of the fun things about this map is that the experience extends outside it - there's a decent amount of supplementary material that acts as paratext for the actual playthrough. (some of it functions as a hint book)
Even some of the mapping techniques fit into the broader backstory.

You found the first ending! Hope to see you come back and play some more, there's lots to still see.
Actually now. Going to underhalls is not an ending because it then loops back to myhouse.
@@AVAtistar Yeah you're supposed to go through Underhalls to get the super shotgun. One of the things I love about My House is how you build up your arsenal. Shotgun from first house. Chaingun from second. Super shotgun from Underhalls. Plasma from Brutalist, but only if you collected the otherwise unnecessary blue card. BFG from the horror bathroom, but only if you paid attention to the screenshot on the Google drive. Rocket launcher only near the end - for the slaughter. The fact that the super shotgun is not in the map itself, but only Underhalls, I think suggests that you are supposed to go through Underhalls at least once.
Don't forget the Mirrored one: sllahrednU
thank god Romero is still alive to play more fan Doom content. honestly, a lot of creators of wonderful stuff don't seem to be with us to experience new content originally made by them. Thanks for playing fan wads, Mr. Romero.

I think it's the same dog?
@@mirabilis Probably yes. The whole thing seems to portray someone's life, and after the fire they apparently ended up in a drab grey apartment, with a dog they really loved but who tended to misbehave? And they couldn't get rid of the misbehaving dog without getting rid of the animal they loved. Or that's my interpretation anyway.
@@Nyerguds I interpret it as they saw the dog as a huge monster when they were a kid (big rooms big doorways = small person).
He played underhalls but didn’t go to the next level to see it repeat! So frustrating!
The fact that he's just sitting there with a mid quality gamer headset with a garbage quality mic serves to remind us that he isn't just a shining god of gaming. He's also a normal dude just like the rest of us, a regular guy who worked hard with a handful other people to be the first. He changed the world, and with enough vision, ambition, and blind luck, maybe you could achieve some form of greatness yourself. You don't have to be a god to move mountains.
Also if you're reading this, get a Sennheiser gaming headset. The mic on the PC37X is so clean, the audio quality is really good for HDR music, and there are other models if you want something that drips.
I love how he just casually keeps playing through Underhalls as if he hasn't played that level 10,000 times already, and you can still just hear the joy at visceral moments of blowing enemies away and picking up weapons and ammo. John's truly an artist who loves his work.

This is so fun to watch. You can tell at the beginning it's been awhile since Romero's played Doom but as the video continues it all comes right back to him.
I laughed out loud when he said it wasnt that big of a house. this is so cool to see the man himself playing this
The true horror is that he has the texture upscaler turned on (it's a gzdoom option causing the guns and enemies to be super blurry).
Imagine telling John Romero that he should save his game.
Holy crap, you know you've made a splash when John Romero is playing your map.
Everybody says John's a dick, but he seems like a nice guy during this video and for even making the video and playing this mod. I can't imagine how excited the guy who made MYHOUSE must be. Not only knowing Romero played his mod, but being able to see him play it and actually be interested.
He’s doing a chill stream right now. I bet he’s much different when you’re working with/for him
I enjoy watching relative nobodies play my maps. I would adore watching a gaming legend play them.
I feel like John Romero’s way more humble and down to earth than Carmack.
I think both carmack and romero got egos, but they're both geniuses in very very different ways. Romero gets game design in a way that Carmack simply can't despite being a technical wizard in by all rights. So they cannot really see eye to eye exactly, but when they collaborated they produced masterpieces.

This is the first time I've heard John speak in over a decade perhaps and it amazes me how he's well into his 50s but his voice sounds so clean and youthful, like he's only in his young 20s.
Now he needs to play Grezzo 2
THERE'S MORE JOHN
"Never seen a teleporting object before, that's cool"
Oh, Romero, you have no idea...
Out of curiosity has anyone figured out getting the soulsphere without noclip? I feel like we're still potentially missing pieces of the puzzle.
You barely scratched the surface of the mod here John, MyHouse is a deeeeeep rabbit hole.
Imagine being able to amaze and bewilder one of the men who literally made the game.
I feel represented by John getting lost in the GZdoom options menu, I hate having to change anything because of that
I have a step-by-step tutorial for myself saved in a TXT file just for this.
Just use the search feature.
i'm so looking forward to part 2. John is the guy uniquely qualified to truly appreciate this mod. A little bit of a shame that he has not seen most of it yet and quit early, but he's still very apt at spotting the way you're supposed to progress.
I had no idea this channel existed. It was in my suggestions. I am so glad you did this. The WAD is really cool, and obviously so are you!
