The hype was very much alive last night, as everyone was waiting patently for Sergeant Mark IV to release his tremendously anticipated latest edition of “Brutal Doom,” which of course would be “Brutal Doom v20.” People have been waiting for months and months for this moment. The wait is finally over! Nevertheless, what a night it was yesterday, it honestly felt like the day before E3 (or something like that). People just kept on refreshing Sergeant Mark´s Brutal Doom Facebook page, and the ModDB Brutal Doom page. So when the count down clock reached zero, it was party time! Well, so we thought (it was 00:00 at night). However, the party was delayed due to some last minute fixes by Sergeant Mark.

At that moment, it really felt like “Brutal Doom v20” might just get cancelled. I think that i was not alone to have those thoughts either (just read the Facebook comments), so i waited about 2 more hours for “Brutal Doom v20” to get release, but it never got released. So I rage quitted and went to bed. Well, I’m glad to inform you all that I noticed that the game is now finally available via ModDB´s homepage!

It´s time to take care of some pigs, Brutal Doom v20 style!

So my day has just been made, and it happened on the National Day of Sweden as well (fu**ing awesome!), and yes, you guessed it. I will of course record videos for “Brutal Doom v20”. In fact, I will do a brief introduction video for BD v20 today. Anyhow, i have added the change log for BD v20 down below (Sergeant Mark has made tons of changes to BD v20), and don´t forget to download Zandronum 2.0 or GZdoom 1.8, or else you won´t be able to run BD v20. Now, let´s rock!
