The Dark Truth Of Brutal DOOM Exposed... 

I really, really, REALLY didnt know if it was right for me to make this video, but I really wanted to give my two cents in this topic that has going on for about 10 years. I think its time to move on.

Just a clarification: I experimented with the real gore sprites around 2011~2012 in a test build, but the art style didn't match the rest of the game, so I dumped these sprites. It never made up to a major release. The devs of Project Brutality used these sprites briefly in one of the early 2.0 builds, you may still find a trailer of it using these sprites, but it didn't last long. And I want to make clear that If anybody wants to call me a psycho because of it, go ahead, I really don't care about people on the internet trying to pose as paladins of good morals. Referencing or even using real gore is normal in the gaming industry as others pointed Half Life 2 using pictures of real carbonized corpses, and at least I did it myself, and didn't try to force somebody else to do it and get traumatized like the Mortal Kombat devs did. Just please, be honest and don't spread lies about me. There are no real gore sprites in Brutal Doom, and there never was unless you were active in the ZDoom forums in 2011 and played one very specific test version.

Unpleasant truth: Every game with good gore you've ever played has used lots of real life references.

Let's be honest, two thirds of y'all behave worse on daily in your local meme groups.

On the gore note, yes any game that uses or gore or graphic content uses real life references. Going to school for 3D Art, you're taught you need at least three or four references for anything, going on imagination doesn't make a sufficient product. Before I graduated, I did a team assignment with the programming students and we made a doom style game. For the game, I had to find references for blood, limbs, and just the way dead bodies look. I understand an argument against using the images instead of making something new, as I do find it disrespectful to the deceased, but using reference to make something original isn't new and it's standard in the industry.

I'm a personal friend of Sarge and have to say his only toxic trait now is his occasional procrastination on His projects 😂

The dark truth of Brutal Doom is that it will suck you in and never let you go. If It wasn't for this mod I probably would have never discovered and fallen in love with the retro shooter revival that's currently occurring. This Mod is amazing and I can't wait for Brutal Fate. Thank you, Sgt. Mk IV, toss the naysayers to the ground!

Here's some food for thought: one of the dead NPC's in Half-Life 2's face texture was recently discovered to be based-on a photo of an actual dead body of a burn victim found in a medical journal.

Yeah, I can definitely relate to Sgt. Mk IV cuz I have definitely made some stupid decisions that I regret and they haunt me sometimes.

In my opinion, the guy is very dedicated, very skilled and has a certain vision, which he follows somewhat fanatically, causing him to react like a jerk to criticisms. To me, Brutal Doom along with Hell on Earth is the proper "Doom 3", I always imagined it to be. It contains some of the best and most atmospheric depictions of post-apocalyptic urban warfare in a videogame.

I've been a small contributor for Brutal Doom around 2017 - 2018 and I can say that Mark always made sure to give proper credit to the assets used for the mod when it was around the release of Version 21, while I wasn't aware of his backstory from 2013 (which, I assume most people could appreciate his apologies later on as human beings) I never had any issues surrounding him or the drama around Project Brutality, considering this event never reached out to me nor I ever knew about it to begin with. As for the real gore reference, I can only relate this event being "discovered" just like the burned corpse from Half-Life 2 and other Triple A studios using the same/similar techniques for the more impactful visual fidelity (and I sure hope it's the only purpose and not for some sick and twisted fantasy, considering how vile and disgusting humans can go on their way of enjoyment and pleasure). Overall, I don't think Sgt. Mark IV is a sociopath and I assure that Brutal Doom's legendary impact and legacy on the community is not going away, I just hope people could stop asking for compatibilities for the mod when there's many other great projects out there that can give you as much joy that BD does in a similar fashion without milking this compatibility request ever so often. I learned to respect the more vanilla side of Doom as the years went on along with some old ZDoom classics and other amazing GZDoom mods out there, such as KDiZD, The Ultimate Torment & Torture, Stronghold: On the Edge of Chaos, ZDoom Community Project Take 2, Doomer Boards Project, Golden Souls, OSJC Major Crisis, The Space Pirate, Doom Delta, DoomRL Arsenal and so on.

I've engaged Mark in replies before, and honestly, I've never had a problem with the guy. The only people I've ever had issues with have been many of the port developers who like to rag on Mark and people like his who push back against the purists of the Doom community. They're really are not the nicest people at any rate, and honestly, I'd rather talk with Mark rather than those purists. They're the unhinged ones. Mention one thing in a mod that adds something and they think it's the apocalypse and you're a spawn of Satan.

Well, when you started the video I was like: "oh, no, midnight, careful what you're gonna talk about a fellow brazilian" but it was really interesting and I was happy to see that he apologized at the end, and like you said, everybody deserves a second chance, so kudos for him, and for you for doing your research and providing good material. Obrigado, amigo. Você é um amigo.

The "community" WAS jealous of him. There was a lot if idol worship in those Doom forums and people were irritated with Brutal's success. Not to say that he couldn't have been a jerk in general- it's just that most of them were big-headed. People would gossip and exaggerate situations involving the author. They did a similar thing when one forum member eventually released his own indie game- half the community freaked out, complained about the (cheap) price and held the poor guy in contempt.

Well said about the "Second Chances" part. The drama with the guy was from so long ago, but much of the internet is so obsessed with using a person's past controversies as their only form of ammunition to try ruin the person's life. Mark's been trying to better himself, especially recently when he's been suffering from depression, hence the lack of updates on his mods and upcoming official game, Brutal Fate. Shame on the people for continue to judge those for how they were in the past rather than how they are now. Cancel Culture... is *CANCER.* And I am so... god *DAMN* tired of it. Those that shamelessly cling to doing that shit are the ones that should seek help, not the people whose lives they're trying to ruin.

Let him cook. There's no harm in being edgy, as long the guy put out a good mod, that's all the internet needs. His toxicity is a byproduct of the past, no one in the far future will remember him for his words, but for his works. Great video btw❤

Give it to the reddit detectives to try to connect someone to a school shooter.

On the subject of the gore, while a little weird to hear about-- video game developers have used real references for gore since at least 1993. The hanging corpse decorations in Doom are based on some...rather graphic photos. And there are the stories of what the Mortal Kombat devs have to go through, which might actually count as psychological torture. EDIT: The Doom hanging corpse decoration thing has been definitively debunked, they were just mangled GI Joes.

7:04 It's exquisite in the Remake, the way it's also intrinsically tied into the damage system is absolutely incredible and the sheer amount of ways the bodies can get damaged and disfigured and how it effects the Necros is just amazing. The devs of that game, oh boy, they're going places given just how GREAT that remake is on every level.

I'll never forget the first time I played brutal doom hell on earth. It was phenomenal.

From my understanding of the gore controversy, it wasn't the fact that it was gory that was controversial, but that *actual* pictures of victims were used, and thus disrespectful. Like with your Dead Space example, the devs used the imagery as inspiration/reference only. They didn't scan in actual car crash victims as the Necromorphs.

I don't care 'bout all this crap. Isimply despise Brutal Doom because it takes away so much of the spotlight from actual good mods. "look guys I made doom but more blood and annoyingly loud guns" "alright GG bro here's a Cacoward"...WHAT! I'm not saying it's undeserved but there are other mods that deserve it WAAAAAAY more. Just because you worked hard on something doesn't make it worthy of a prize. At the end of the day, Brutal Doom is nothing special & I believe the only reason sooo many people like it, is because it kinda modernizes classic Doom for new comers to play THATS IT! Genuinely one of the most boring mods to play up until BD Platinum came out which had some nice monster AI.

From Undertale to Homestuck to Brutal Doom- often, you will find your enjoyment of a piece of media will increase if you stay away both from the fandom and the hardcore detractors.

Funfact: DOOM literally had a gore sprite modeled after Mussolini’s dead body post-Italian Campaign WWII

Such a stupid take bro, using gore as reference is not the same as putting it directly into the game, and encouraging someone to off themselves is not something that you can apologize for and be like nothing happened, lol, you're playing devil's advocate really hard in this one.

6:38 *Looks over at Valve's Source games that used a lot of real images of gruesome injures as either reference or in the case of the burned body model as the model's FACE* Sure, it's _too far._ So far Valve has been doing it since the days of at least Half life 2!

The utilization of real gore in the mod though seems like he wasn't inspired by the pictures but rather used the pictures themselves and implemented them in the mod, so I can see where the controversy comes from.

The first time I ever played Doom was 1996, I was 10. A friend at school brought a bundle of floppy disks, wrapped in a rubber band the labels had doom 2 written with magic marker on them, which I had bugged him for for at least 2 weeks. I excitedly went home and installed it on my PC. My life became more awesome forever.

I think it’s fine to base gore off of real gore, as long as you aren’t just straight up posting the original images. I also think that you shouldn’t force artists to use or view those images. It’s a big problem in the video game development community that the art designers are either forced or pushed towards doing it and several devs have come out talking about how bad it is.

Reddit once again showing why theyre the worse place on the internet

honestly, both sergeant mark iv and painkiller both kinda suck... but i just play the game with those mods, and ignore the drama!

this is a lot more information that kinda helps me see why people feel about him while also explaining the extensive hate. I do hope he is truly changed, understandble if some doubt it but along as he keeps a clean track record of being decent to other people at least, and keeping his ego in check. I think this bad rep would be more of a learning experience that people can change and it takes time.

i don't know if someone told you about it already that site you showed is not 4chan its called zdoom forums but the old design actually similar to 4chan somehow xD

Having actually interacted with SGTMK4, I'd say that he's a good guy, and I'd go as far as to say the man's a Rockstar. Years ago I made a weapons mod for BD v16.b, not a proper weapons wad but rather a modified version of BD itself. I sent it to Sergeant to see what he thought, and getting to the point he said I could make it available to DL. Despite the fact that I had just overwritten his work, due mainly to my own laziness, he didn't bust my balls at all. In my experience he was actually the most easy going person I encountered in my interactions with the doom community.

this is a bizarre situation for me because for years i've been told the guy is a sociopathic monster, controlling and manipulative. so, I never bothered to do the research and just accepted that he was a monster that made a good mod. Now I know, hes just a normal dude who said and did stupid shit because hes just human like the rest of us and people hung up on the mistakes to create drama have absolutely nothing better to do than to stir shit up. tragic.... Glad you made the video, thank you for informing me.

Happy to give people a second chance and prove they've grown, and I'm totally willing to believe that SM4 was simply engaging in some very misinformed "banter" with the language he used to use, but honestly his attitude doesn't really show a lot of growth in the years between. It's great he's apologised and I'm willing to hear his side of things, but he still acts like a dick when he's criticised and he ultimately paints a picture of someone who resents being called on his crappy behaviour rather than, say, someone who took his lumps, genuinely considered the affect his behaviour might have on others and generally learned a lot from his past. That sucks to say, but just how I see it

“Description on 4chan” 💀

This was a very interesting watch. I had heard that Sergeant Mark 4 had some controversy around him, but I never knew exactly what it was. I think your take on this situation is pretty based. What he did was not cool, but he has clearly apologized and moved on, so I think we all should too. I honestly don't get this obsession of hyperfixating on things he said a decade ago when he's clearly changed since then

Reddit. A place where they laugh at boomers for coming up with nonsense conspiracy theories, only to come up with their own conspiracy theories using armchair psychology.

The screenshots which he says are "4chan" are clearly not 4chan, you can't do like 5 seconds of research for your vids? lmao Also, including/referencing real gore in your art is supremely fucked up and wrong. You literally state how the devs of dead space were traumatized or at least very unsettled for days by trying to reference real gore. Creators should not have to endure mental anguish for your entertainment. Clearly. Sgt. Mark IV's post talking gleefully about including real gore is a sign of sociopathy or at the very least desensitized and lessened empathy by constantly looking at gore, as anyone who has a decent amount empathy would instinctively cringe at reading a post like that let alone writing it. You're extracting pleasure from people's real and literal deaths. You don't need real gore to make art of gore, the fake gore that people enjoy (Mortal kombat, even the majority of brutal doom) is all highly unrealistic theatre with gallons of blood.

I find the gore-thing interesting... I've heard of numerous developers/visual artists using actual images of deaths and mutilations as reference, but I'd argue that if someone wanted to make something which is distressing or visually potent; using something unrelated to real life injury is more effective and much less unpleasant for the person producing the piece. For example: instead of using actual gore or meat for a wound, use something like a calico or hessian bag for reference, just changing the colour pallet but focusing on the texture. It mixes the associations and becomes slightly jarring. The colour matches what is expected, but the imitation of a material with a specific texture causes a tactile association. ...and you don't have to sit around looking at things that might make you sad for hours. No desecration of a persons entire life is required and I guarantee it is more effective in most cases.

I had a feeling things were being blown out of proportion, but I was a bit suspicious about what everyone was upset about. I do like brutal doom and have loved eday, dispite "what it did to me" but that just be *me* blowing things out of proportion. I do hope some things get fixed with brutal and eday.

I never understood peeps who are like they used real injury Like i get it psychological damage on the creators and graphic designers but for the consumer Art influences reality And reality influences art Some people are willing to go to the extra mile to create art real art if it disturbs you and it intrigues you it did it right in my opinion 8:11

The virgin brutal Doom hater: Hates Brutal Doom because of its creator. The chad brutal Doom hater: Hates Brutal Doom because all its aditional content ruins the gameplay of the game and knows that sometimes less content is more.

I personally play project brutality. That one is my most loved mod. I finished plutonia on it. So yes. I can call myself a doom master.

7:46 I remember watching one of the original Devs and someone else playthrough the Remake and they also touched upon how they used actual injuries and whatnot as references.

I have no issues with SGtMarkIV, I respect his work. ZDoom and Doomworld are ten times worse, with their woke ideology and pedophiles.

The Gore in Dead Space is also unique as it serves as a core gameplay function too. Necromorphs can't be killed easily by just shooting their bodies, you have to take them apart. Otherwise, they don't stop coming at you. If Gore is added with no rhyme or reason then it kinda just feels weird. Even so much as adding Gore as an environmental detail works well as Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal did that and they came out great.

Half-Life 2 used a picture of someone's burnt off face for one of their corpse models. Though very questionable, I don't see how SGTMKIV really did anything wrong with the 'Real Gore' part

So I have been following Doom since 2001 and I have some insight on some of this. I know Mark personally. -I agree with you about the gore sprites. However you completely missed the point of the argument was. Mark basically cut the pictures down and put them directly into Doom. What I am basically trying to say is that he didn't make new sprites based on the gore pictures. He actually uses the gore pictures themselves. Real people had to die or suffer to make the sprites. That was their argument. - Mark HATES HATES HATES project brutality. You mention it and he completely ignores anything you say about it. He pretends it doesn't even exist. -Mark is a troll sort of. Deep down he is a decent guy. Knowing him over the years I've never had a problem with him. I believe Mark was being edgy when he was younger (I could see that personally) The Doom Community is a toxic toxxxic place. If I use the user name I used when I was a 13 year old kid I get banned immediately. I was just a hyper annoying child (and a troll) so they still hold all of that against me. Not realizing it's been over 20 years since then. They hold grudges over things. I have even seem some extremely degenerate behavior coming from the community (nothing I can mention in a comment box. I guess I could say that at least back in the day my friend was groomed). Not to mention I have seen so many legal disputes over silly things like using Map01 as a base for a level and then crying saying it's illegal. The worst case of something like that I have seen was some guy made a mod called Nimrod and another forum user ripped the sprites and put them in his custom wad. Nimrod creator threatened legal action over some sprites. Me as a kid wanted to make a was called OHgNOZILLEGAL.pk3 with a bunch of doom2.wad copies and Nimrod weapons. I never did but I thought it would of been funny. My suggestion for a doom video would be the history of ZDaemon. I could provide some interesting information about the early days of ZDaemon 0.99 and CSDoom. It would make a good video.

In this day and age, claims of "hate" automatically raise red flags. As I recall, the voice actor of Broly was branded a raging homophobe because he thought signing an autograph to Naruto Yaoi would conflict with his religious views, and offered to sign something else instead, cue campaign to ruin his career.

I hate gore IRL and that's because I have seen my share of it within medical fields but in games? I love it because games are just that games.

The fans of Brutal Doom are far worse than the creator. Banging on about how it's "the right way" to play Doom, and how it's "what the game should always have been". Yeah nah people will still be playing the perfectly-balanced OG in a thousand years. Also after it blew up every other map and mod in development was bombarded with demands to make it work with Brutal Doom, yeah because all that extra glory kill sprite work is something anyone can crap out in an afternoon. Some modders even got threats and insults if their mod didn't work properly when run alongside Brutal Doom. Mind you, around the time the controversies were at thier peak, a big chunk of Doomworld and page after page of Zdoom were wall-to-wall gameplay mods, without a map in sight. They could hate Brutal Doom all they liked, but they were all so obviously desperate to make the next one. (Awaits incoming wave of wads desperate to be the next Myhouse)

I have no problem with devs using images of dead people as references while creating their own content, but I draw the line at actually including said images AS content in your video game which is what Sarge did. I just have to say that is a personal value of mine that I'm happy to disagree with other people about.

Success breeds jealousy. Brutal Doom is one of the most successful Doom conversion mods of all time, so of course you'd have jagoffs crawling out of the woodwork to find any thing to try and tarnish Brutal Doom's creator.

I'm going to put in my two cents since I have been around the Doom community since the skulltag days. The people that lurk on the forums and the so called mod developers of these boards are some of the most egotistical douchebags I've ever seen. I'm not going to call out names but I will say alot of the moderators have egos that expand to the edge of the universe and scare off new blood and potential upcoming mods where I've seen some great mods put into permanent limbo over these douche nuggets. I'm not a Sergeant Mark IV apologist, but every time I've hung out with him through Skulltag and Zandronum on his own projects he always seemed like a chill dude . He did listen to a lot of my constructive criticism to his projects whenever I lurked on his servers. There's a lot of animosity towards Sergeant Mark IV that boils down to simple jealously, because many of the other developers inside the Doom community were not getting the same attention for their projects at that time so they cried about it. I have to say from personal experience most of the Doom community sites absolutely suck ass due to how draconian the forums rules are, the moderators and admins can act hence all the drama. They are toxic cesspools that made 4chan and 8chan forum boards look like saints back in the day.

I love Brutal Doom as it's very well made and for those who don't have a PC that can run Doom Eternal it's a great way to play a more intense and visceral version of Doom. That said I do always try to separate creators from their art.

I never had a problem with Sgt. Mark. I think he's just a pretty blunt and straightforward guy who doesn't give a damn about pissing people off. My experience with Doomworld and ZDF is that there is a fair number of those people who are just overly sensitive. I went back recently because I wanted to check out some of the mods I like and it just seems to have become a tad politicized. I am pretty sure most people will agree when I say I play games to escape from that shit.

Man is hated because he was an asshole in 4ch, wtf... Actually I like bd even more after this vid

I think the video was quite informative but it was very baity. As a matter or fact, all of your videos have incredibly baity titles and thumbnails. It makes it hard to want to watch your videos because i dont know if im about to watch something informative or some made up crap like the video about the hanging bodies in doom. I want to like your contact but i csnt see myself watching your channel for too terribly long if the missleading continues,

I'm from brazil, and saying for my life, our humor is a little... Dark sometimes And about the gore, i have to stud a lot of criminal cases for making some of my prototype books. So i think is normal to make gore and other violences with real pictures im mind

5:55 i dont see anything wrong with that

I miss when the internet was the wildwest

Using REAL people’s bodies, even just as a reference, is not only horribly disrespectful, but really fucked up. Artists need references for things because they need verisimilitude. Most people haven’t seen real gore. You don’t need real references for things people have never seen.

The video title: *The Dark Truth Of Brutal DOOM Exposed* The video: _Brutal DOOM was made by an edgy teenager like 10 years ago..._ The video is 👌🏻 but the title makes it sound like he turned out to be a serial killer or something lol Also that one website isn't 4chan (telling someone to retire from life early there is almost a formal greeting) looks like old ZDoom forum screenshots

I remember hearing something about Sergeant_Mark_IV being a nazi, but when I tried to look it up, I found nothing. It's good to see some explanation for it.

After discovering Brutal Doom originally early in its development, I followed a lot of the guy's social media posts and he definitely came off as a typical cringy fascist edgelord. No idea who he really is or what he's like now though. But let's be honest...... that's a great fuckin mod regardless. Pretty insane when an ancient FPS engine gets modded into something that destroys most modern FPSs. Project Brutality's fuckin great too.

Oh no. Now I like Brutal doom even more.

"I agree with giving innocent game devs trying to make a living in the art industry PTSD and nightmares as well as just general mental health issues!" 🤡

Eh, dude's done that crap YEARS AGO and I heard he's changing himself for the better. All water under the bridge. Besides that, I would still enjoy Brutal DOOM anyway.

Without brutal doom i dont think i would have played doom.

"the only difference" pretty big difference tho lol

BRAZIL MENTIONED 🇧🇷 No, we don't speak spanish

Great video, imagine being a snowflake in the DOOM community!

Thanks for the clickbait. Nothing dark here....

I was around in the community from the very first releases of Brutal Doom (and had contributed some assets to it), and have seen the whole shitshow unravel throughout the years. The prevailing cause for the hatred of the mod, aside from all that's been mentioned here, was the fact that a lot of newcomers to the Doom community got their start through Brutal Doom rather than the vanilla experience, thus leading to demands being thrown at mappers that they accommodate for the mod as well as major disdain of newcomers from the vanilla sector. It definitely wouldn't have had the same level of notoriety had that not been the case. All said and done, I can't really hold anything against him for all that happened back then; that was a decade ago, and though a lot of his actions were shitty and still are considered as such, I don't have much say as I was definitely no saint either. As a side note, around the time that v0.4 was out, I posted a suggestion in the forums for special kill sequences whilst in Berserk mode in order to add some rip-and-tear to the powerup. I don't know if that's what directly led to fatalities in BD, but the fatalities did inspire the Glory Kill mechanic in Doom 2016/Eternal, so if that was the case, then I can hold a little bit of pride to that.

SPARTAN ARMY ASSEMBLE!!!!

there's perfectly fine explanations for everything's hes being accused of: He acted aggressive and self aggrandizing? Duh, Hes brazilian. He stole assets? Why yes, he's brazilian. He used real gore videos in his work? of course, he's brazilian. He's rac1st? no crap. He's brazilian.

to tell you the truth... the only reason why people hate Sgt. Mark IV is simple, they didn't think of this mod first. it's a shame that the people who created Project Brutality and vanilla Brutal Doom couldn't see eye to eye. BTW: we WERE all young, dumb, attempting to be edgy, and stupid... por favor, no creas que tu mierda no apesta. it will kill a maggot.

I still play Brutal Doom periodically. It’s a great stress reliever, and it easily surpasses vanilla doom. Sergeant Mark IV has done a bang-up job on this great mod. However, I’d hesitate to call his “apology” shown at 13:15 a sincere one. He states pretty clearly that he’s apologizing because it suits his own interests, not because he’s remorseful of his actions. And he seems to feel as if the ones he offended are at fault for not understanding his humor, hence why he’ll now try harder to avoid offending those who aren’t “open minded.” Seems like an “apology” from a man who’s concerned only about the personal consequences of his actions, rather than how people are affected by them. Maybe he will put a cap on his toxic behaviors for the time being, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him eventually revert to his old ways if he feels he can get away with it again. That said, I suspect most people aren’t much different inside, only being “good” around others where it suits them in society. Sergeant Mark IV is just more open about it.

You know the "depressed" person Sarge told to KYS themselves was being a troll right?

So, is everyone gonna ignore the suicide bit, or..? (I still like Brutal Doom either way.)

It's just Mark over reacting to some people due to his age and also a part of the community that was toxic and wanted him to fail or block him from the community at any cost. Also a note: Sgt Mark is unbanned from Zandronum and the group who tried to hard to ban him there funnily enough are now permanently banned, I wonder why. but yeah, it was just an underage dude doing underage things, and a toxic community trying to cancel him, is what I see from all that (I was even featured on the credits of brutal doom and I dont even recall what I did haha)

Honestly, personally i dont think any behavior involving gore and anything like a video game should be justified, nor inspiration from real gore if im being honest thats also very disgusting, like just think of the families of the car crash victims they took inspiration from on the pictures, its just disgusting if im being honest And dont even get me started on half life But nonetheless i love the game and i dont really understand why devs do this shit, like no ones telling you that you have to put real gore into your game, nor recreate it 💀

Maybe someone have pointed out already, but those "4chan" screenshots aren't 4chan. These were threads on the ZDoom Forums. And yes, i remember those. I used to lurk around ZDF for years before signing up and i can say that i watched all the Brutal Doom drama to unfold throughout the threads until Mark was banned. Those were wild years. I really hope he have changed and matured over the last decade. He's responsible for his "persona non-grata" status on the community, yes, but i prefer to think that people can change for the better.

16:50 Really dude? Are you using his nationality to justify his actions? Is it a common trait of Brazilians to offer suicide advice?

I'm gonna tell you a (not so secret) secret.. the charred corpse face from hl2? thats a real guy..

I completely disagree, there’s taking references to use as inspiration, like analysing car accidents to get general idea. Then there’s literally taking the actual reference and putting it in the game. It’s distasteful, disrespectful and ethically wrong. And if you can’t see anything wrong with that then you’ve got issues. The dead space example is completely different to this, they don’t disrespect those people who died

I gotta agree, if the guy has shown remorse, then leave him be. The 17 year old you and the 30 year old you are complete strangers in most cases. Remember that we all came together over doom, making all of us "little Eds" in some small way.

Yo dude, dunno if that 4chan stuff was sarcasm or what, isn't that ZDoom forums? Ima confused lmao, nice vid

As a Brazilian the worst part of this video was when he spoke spanish when talking about Brazil. Lol I don't know much about Sgt's politics but I seen to remember some time ago that supporters of Bolsonaro (former far-right president of Brazil) were complaining because Sgt criticized him.

Honestly tho. Getting mad at him for using real gore is hypocritical considering doom itself has the digitized body Mussolini ( or someone alongside him idc) Getting mad at him for saying the n-word is even more hypocritical since everyone at that time had that style of humour (remember when pyrocinical dropped the n-word regularly?) As a spanish speaking person, i even remember when juegagerman made rape jokes on his older videos. When it comes to his ego, i cant really defend what he said but i will say it comes from someone who just created a popular and well made thing, Jonh Romero also suffered of this( to some degree) yet i dont see people angry at him. Maybe it was because guess what... iT HAPPENED MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO. Also, as someone who tried mixing PB with ED, it didnt harm my computer in any way.

A lot of game companies used real gore for game Development valve has done it so this is not really too messed up

@Midnight That’s not 4chan at 8:30, that’s the old zdoom forums.

I think there's a very clear difference between Brutal Doom using real gore and Dead Space doing it. It's that Brutal Doom literally used those real gore images almost completely unmodified as sprites, while Dead Space merely took inspiration from real gore pics for the necromorphs. A better example would have been the now infamous corpse01 model from Half-Life 2 which uses a mostly unmodified real image of some guy who had his face burned off as part of the texture. Of course, that fact wasn't known at the time that SargMKIV was making that version of Brutal Doom

Mesmo assim, YEAH, BRUTAL DOOM É BRASILEIRO

Excelente video amigo, sigue así con el fantástico trabajo :)

well I kinda thought this was going somewhere... Sergeant Mark said some edgy/cringe stuff on forums (seemed pretty tame by 4chan standards) and one kinda racist joke hidden in his code. 🤷‍♂ so nothing really happened 🤷‍♂

13:22 I do too but his actions should not be forgotten and be examined to prevent it from happening again.This is somthing most people do not understand. YOu have one side who will never forgive someone, and the other who forgives them and puts everything they did behind them and pretending nothing happened. Of course if its a minor thing, thats fine. But things like encourging suicide, etc, should not be forgotten. You may forgive, but to forget past actions means you are doomed to see the same fate happen once more.
