Oh wait no he just went out for lunch. 
Oh. 
That'll teach me not to read the news before posting 
 
I only know because my Facebook feed is basically ... that. Bowie is out, Rickman is in. 
Rest In Peace, Hans. May You Fly Around Nakatomi Plaza Forever. 
 
I Can Definitely Relate To Most Of This:

... can be decrypted or unlocked.

Fully expecting a RickRoll here, but Romero released a new Doom level using only the shareware assets ...

His take on E1M8. 
Well That Was Nice 
A bit brutal and claustrophobic for my taste, but still good.
That Bruiser Brothers room looked very rad though.
Funny stuff, in the readme he states it was a warm-up.
We'll see what transpires in the future. 
Excellent Level, Pretty Hard 
Everyone go play this right now. 
No Rickroll, Just Tried It 
10 secrets!

269 monsters on UV. Tried it from a pistol start - it's hard. Very cramped. Spent most of my playthrough with 20% health, hit a died-without-quicksaving-for-a-while shelf moment. I'll come back to it later.

Also rather ... questionable aesthetic choices? I'd believe it was a map that was actually made for Doom. 
Total Doom N00b13 Please Advise 
OK, so what do I need to get this shizzle on my PC - I'm looking for the "QuakeSpasm" of Doom I guess - a modern engine but with no fancy crap, just proper respect for the source material.

I would recommend Zdoom. It's as close to the quakespasm of doom as you're gonna get. 
However! 
If even this seems too feature rich then you could try Doom Retro which is a bit more stripped back... the purest doom experience (short of installing DOS) is probably Chocolate Doom. 
 
I use GZDoom. (It crashes unless you've already run ZDoom in the same folder, though, or else some config file doesn't get written. :P)

and when you're done with this map, play Valiant! 
 
a long time ago, zdoom was a good choice. (authentic software renderer with bug fixes and stuff.) I have no idea now. 
 
I still use ZDoom myself. I rarely used GZDoom and it fullscreens on the wrong monitor for some reason. 
OK 
I have just pruchased "Doom Classic Complete" on Steam.

Let's see how this goes then.

My body is ready... 
ZDoom 
GZDoom is alright, feels laggy to me for whatever reason. 
 
Romero confirmed the "warmup" on this map was for his next FPS.

Joke about Daikatana and Romero making you his bitch all you want, I have hope on this one.
