Monster Paralysis Explained 

Background song now available on Bandcamp: decino.bandcamp.com/album/pumpkin-beats-to-analyse-to

I loved the silly cartoon sounds. Also who would've know that Doom guy was such a creep, punching those cyberdaddy's glutes while he's unaware.

The more you teach us about Doom's inner workings, the more I'm convinced that the game is a concatenation of horrifying programming mistakes that somehow exploded at the same time until all worked mostly perfectly.

the demons getting paralyzed by blocking their movement before waking up makes sense, receiving a hug from your worst nightmare all of a sudden would easily paralyze anyone

Imagine being a spider mastermind, possibly the smartest being in hell, and constantly getting clowned on by Doomguys. What a painful existence

The way he calmly says "Agonizing Rectal Pain" during the patron announcements is as deadpan as possible!

Man, I got a real kick out of the sound effects you used for this video. I loved the plink sounds as you boop an enemy in their bounding box.

This would be an interesting mechanic for a puzzle map.

Wow, Decino really leveled up editing skills for this one. Also it explains why the Spider Mastermind is considered such a weak demon in the game.

I actually learned a lot of C code in my current semester of college so I can understand all of the on-screen code better than I was able to before with my Java knowledge. I feel like this new knowledge will warrant a rewatch of all of your analysis videos from me once I finish my current semester (since I will have more free time then).

Damn, I felt like I just leveled up watching this. Yet another brilliant effort to document complex behaviour in a fun and entertaining way.

The DOOM team accidentally gave demons sleep paralysis complete with their own sleep paralysis demons. Truly a masterpiece for the ages.

I see Doomguy has gone from humping walls to humping the Spider Mastermind.

Not even Covid can paralyze decino's analysis skillz.

I love the addition of the little animations

6:30 blew my mind. I always thought the arachnotron and spider mastermind had an oddly "uncentered" hitbox, turns out the blockmap was allowing me to clip through them partially and get nearer to their center. Crazy, really well explained! Also, those sounds and animations were hilarious, keep it up.

3:36 I love looking directly into a cyberdemons dumptruck

decino gotta say I love the humor you put in this one. Actually got me laughing at those death "animations" of doom guy haha

This video was really fun! All the sound effects were great, and the “sets” to showcase all the paralysis examples was great too. just an all around solid video :)

These deep dives into the mechanics behind the scenes of DooM are always interesting and entertaining to watch. And they are especially fun when you add the comical camera and sound effects! :D Nicely done! Made me laugh after a rough day at work, which is always appreciated (and often needed). Thanks for the great video and stay safe out there!

I think my favourite parts to this video was the two cyber demon bits at 3:31 & 5:29 and my most favourite part was the 6:00 but with the rocker just tapping the nose of the shorgunner and it blowing up like a nuke and those sound effects are just brilliant put a real smile on my face other than that very interesting stuff the demon being placed to close to a wall is understandable really but as for the rest I did wonder what was going on with that so with that as always cheers for upload decino.

I like this new editting style, it's not your typical mile a minute humor you're seeing a lot these days either so it's really refreshing.

Great video as always! Regarding the blockmap-bug, is it present in all source ports? Is it technically possible to write an improved version of the collision check running on today's computers, or will it break something else in the engine?

the way decino is a little more energetic when he says "riley!" in the patreon section is what i live for

Oh that graphic at 1:50 gives me an idea for a new enemy. A pinky that shoots Lost Souls that look like the pinky's face!

I never knew classic doom had a “sneak attack” style technique. Great stuff!

In the 90s I had fun creating maps, however I allways lined walls to the grid. Quite often monsters would end up stuck trying to cross a door. I had to make them very thin, and still sometimes they would end stuck anyways. It was frustrating

This is definitely the funniest analysis video I've watched of yours so far, decino. Also impressed with how you're able to keep finding topics on this old game to do more analysis videos on! 👍👍

When Doom Guy had the delay before exploding, that made me smile.

8:54 w-what are you doing doom guy stepbro??

All the editing gags and sound effects were great! Had me laughing as well as learning.

Every time I think you've ran out of topics about DOOM you manage to find something I never even thought about before!

Loving the adorable sound effects. Seems like you were having some fun here.

Uncle decino was feeling a bit larky when he designed the audio 😁 Loved the silly touch these SFX added, even if it's just a one-off. Hope you're better now, and taking care ❤️

4:19 kyaah, what are you doing, step-counter uWu

The Upgrade in presentation has not gone unnoticed. These videos just keep getting better!

one time i was playing saturnx and i witnessed two imps scratch a spider mastermind to death. it was beautiful

Wow, I actually had to replay a few parts to fully comprehend what you were explaining. Very fascinating!

I was really impressed by the grid overlay at 5:48. The whole video was interesting information at a high pace. Great job!

Me: looks at title screen My brain: so thats how the arachnotrons were and still are created...

I noticed this all the way back in 2016 while messing with Doom Builder, pinning a zombie against a wall with the player rendered him unable to turn around and face you, which I found pretty cool

Now we need an option for the enemies' step counter to float above their heads:) Vids like this explain monster behavior that we all exploit unconsciously, like getting them to infight when we are low on ammo. Love the low fi effects btw.

This explains a lot about the enemy AI, another great analysis video. I would love to know how the Invisibility sphere works or more information on the Cast of Doom screen. Looking forward to your next one. Whatever the topic I'm sure it will be fascinating.🙂💛

This episode was a lot more cartoony than usual, and I love it.

That bonk at 4:14 took me so off guard that got me laughing more than it should. The editing in this video was just *chef kiss*

At first I was really sceptical about this cartoony sound effects, but man, 4:14 made me explode

The way enemies move in Doom is one of the best things about it, they always move in such an non predictable way that makes them seem stupid and messy but also rather dangerous what i love so much about it. In modern games it seems like enemies move in a rather linear way

It's amazing to see videos being done so well for a game from 1994

6:02 Your age is showing.

I loved the editing on this one, especially the bit at 5:56. Thank you for the insight and hard work. :-)

I love the memes you put in while explaining something, it makes the video more fun and interesting (not that it ever wasnt fun nor interesting in the first place) love ur content, hope you get well soon :)

9:34 "Glad you stuck around until the end..." I see what you did there!

I swear, every single upload you outdo yourself, Decino. You listen to your viewer's opinions and work towards improving every video even further. That's the trademark of a great content creator, in my opinion. Keep being awesome!

This is a great vid! I've always seen Monster Paralysis, but I've never understood how it works until now. Thanks Decino; hope you get better!

📸🧐 5:28

Always excited to see a new Decino video with one of those yellow background thumbnails. I hope you’re recovered or recovering well at least, I appreciate your hard work man

You may've been sick during this, but that didn't stop you from putting _all_ of the production value into it! This video is _so good!_ It's also extremely informative on top of being very entertaining. As always, the graphical representations help immensely. Excellent stuff, decino!

0:26 Interesting DOOM reference. That map was extremely hard.

5:07 i see you got the silver play button fixed, *ducino*

Can we appreciate how cool and intuitive Dooms Monster-AI is? I really like it.

Pinkie on the right at 8:30 is ALL up in those cheeks.

2:05 SPEEN!!!

I really loved the editing you did for this video. All of your analysis videos are very entertaining but the editing makes this one my favorite. Keep up the good work!

The editing is so good in this one, you really went extra with it! Good video, and good info as well

I've always wondered why this wasn't one of the first bugs advanced source ports like ZDoom fixed.

Another great video! Great job, I always look forward to these types of videos, also the sound effects throughout the video made it even more fun to watch lol

This was one of the best explained videos yet. In substance and of quality! Absolute banger of a video!

9:34 no pun intended

4:32 It's me or it looks like a pulse rifle of Alien the gun he's holding on his model

Dude I love your explanation videos so much. The amusing SFX are great, but also just how you explain and show things is so awesome! I don't always understand the details super well, but thanks to you I can usually understand the concept pretty well! And then the whole system just makes so much more sense and how other systems might work! I adore these videos, ty so much!!!

6:01 I appreciate you credited where the explosion came from. Most wouldn't care to credit something that is almost as old as "Internet video" themselves.

11:08 - Logically I would expect the spiderdemon (or other big guy) to still be able to walk away from you. If I understand correctly, what you are saying is that even after one turn of movement in any direction, it would still be partially overlapping doomguy, so the game concludes that it is stuck. Is this correct? Also, another great video. I really like learning more about the inner workings and quirks of the doom engine.

Fair play to you for making top quality Doom content while you’re under the weather. Can watch any doom related videos and always will 😂 Get better soon. 👍 Edit: 2:20 - I never knew that arch viles had such defined booty’s 😆

I always look forward to these videos so much man, thank you for continuing to put them out.

another absolute banger, love the funnies in this one! ive been watching your analysis videos to go to sleep and this one is gonna be a favorite to start off with :D

1:34 Me when I get off of my computer at night to go to sleep.

you have blessed me with this knowledge and power, now i can break 90's user maps even more!

Had to come back and say what amazing music; happy 4 years Decino

0:43 thank me later

2:51 me

Honestly, you're the most important thing that's ever happened to Doom since the source code was released.

I really love putting these vids on in the background, thanks for your work

Loving the editing in this! Always happy to see these pop up in my sub box :)

One of your best videos. Awesome animations, easy to follow, simple explanation of complex topic, and I really liked the silly bits!

Decino conditioned me like Pavlov's dog because every time I see the yellow background in my youtube feed I get happier.

The editing of these videos keep getting better and better, really good and informative video decino

This episode is absolutely perfect; the small, goofy little scenes in the video make this video whole lot better. Great job.

My friends and I love you, we love this kind of content and we love your speed runs. I'm not sure how much more there is to cover about Doom and how it works, but when ever you post a video we always get hyped to learn.

Love the animations and editing! Great job!

loved the editing in this one! it's always nice to see someone improve their skills ^^

this episode had some really funny editing, great job, big thumbs up on the sound effects ^^

This has to be one of the best edited videos you've done so far Decino, and very informative at the same time!

I find this video informative and entertaining at the same time, the goofy sound effects and other things is art. Thank you mr decino for yet another well-explained video :))

I love the editing on this video, keep up the good work 👌🏻

Your editing is getting so good i love it

I already liked your style of videos but this new, sillier style is absolutely my jam, I love your content

The sound effects and animations rolled me! Loved the video!

I absolutely love the screaming gibbed Doomguy, the delay makes it even better.

3:35 dang, I never realized just how thick this demon was! Congrats on 150k!

Ah so that is why the Revenants and Archies standing on small towers do the funny dancing around when they spot you.
