Happy Wolfenoot! I drew one of the summoned wolves aka Hellhounds from DOOM Eternal to celebrate.

What is this Wolfenoot you speak of, Highbeam? Glad you asked, check out this website to learn about its origins! www.wolfenoot.com

"Wolfenoot is about celebrating our pack - human and animal - helping where we can, and making the world a better, kinder place."

My Intro To DOOM

I've been sitting on this for a while, had it written in a notebook and I definitely want to share this. As I mentioned in my intro, I've become a wee bit obsessed with the DOOM game universe, something I dabbled in as a child when DOOM and DOOM II first came out. I vaguely remember my mom trying to keep me from playing the OG DOOM game saying it was too violent for me as a young child. The pixelated graphics however didn't exactly make me think it was terribly violent back then. I believe I played a little of Quake I as well but I don't remember as much of that as I do the first two DOOM games. I do however remember drawing pictures of demons based on some of the game designs and it's a shame I don't still have those. I didn't really touch much else in the DOOM game universe until 2021 which I will get into shortly, but I do remember seeing some things from the DOOM III game and watching that live action movie with The Rock and Karl Urban (Karl is one of my top fav actors by the way). I didn't mind the live action movie, though it had a severe lack of demons and no real interactions with Hell which were disappointing. The demon designs that were featured though were kinda neat, but again it would've been better to have more demons, less humans. I have similar thoughts when it comes to the Bayverse Transformers movies which should've been more bots, less humans as well. Earlier this year I discovered the DOOM Annihilation movie too which at least that had a Hell scene and more demons, but I almost put that into a fan movie category as far as quality goes. They could've played more with the Cultist ideas too and I would've liked it more. In October 2021 I got pulled back into the DOOM universe when a favorite streamer started playing DOOM 2016. Not only was her gameplay and chat interaction a lot of fun to watch but I was fascinated by the graphics and a few of the characters, particularly the mystery behind Dr. Samuel Hayden and VEGA. After seeing the full playthrough I decided I would have to give the game a try someday myself. Fast forward to April 2022 for my Twitch stream anniversary where I decided that would be my first experience with playing the 2016 game myself. I was awful at FPS gameplay and set the game difficulty to the lowest setting for my first time back into FPS in years, but I got hooked. The soundtrack was absolute fire, the graphics were visually fun, the environments made me want to explore, and despite how often I died I still enjoyed the gameplay itself. By the end of that game I already knew I'd have to buy the sequel DOOM Eternal and later the two DLCs, The Ancient Gods (TAG) Part 1 and 2. I thought the graphics in 2016 still held up in 2022. Diving straight into DOOM Eternal and its faster paced, hyped gameplay was a little crazy but I realized that I was becoming hooked. There was so much lore in Eternal and I started pondering my own theories while playing through the game, then as soon as I completed it I dove into all the YouTube DOOM lore videos and any other articles I could find about everything. I keep going back to replay levels, stare at the beautiful environments, I have binge listened to the 2016 OST and the Eternal/DLC soundtrack videos on YouTube (since nothing official exists) so many times. I've gone back into DOOM 2016 and replayed some levels and arcade mode as well, and a few members of my Twitch community and I play some of the PVP there as well. Needless to say, after completing those I decided I'd go back to the original game and replay every single DOOM game on my Twitch stream for fun. So far I'm pretty far into DOOM II and I'm anxious to go thru all the content that's out there. Screenshot below from the end of DOOM 2016. I kinda really, really want a replica of the Demonic Crucible, please and thank you... And a Dr. Samuel Hayden action figure...

Introduction

Hello there, after much thought I decided to give this a shot again. Been a while since I've used this platform and I accidentally deleted my old accounts which is fine as I barely used them anyway. You can call me Highbeam or HB! Friends who know me from Renaissance Festivals usually call me Duchess, and those in the vintage 1940s/50s pinup circuit know me as Lucy. Quick facts and info about me! I became a Twitch streamer in April 2021 and have loved it. Started off with the idea of focusing mostly on Transformers collecting and product reviewing, maybe eventually moving into cooking streams. However I got caught up in gaming in a way I hadn't since I was a young teen back in the day. It started with the Transformers War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games, then I started introducing things like Sea of Thieves and various silly Indie games. Then came my one-year Twitch anniversary in April 2022 when I decided to pull up a bit of nostalgia which I wanted to play back when it came out, but I didn't have the right gear to play it, DOOM 2016. I'm now thoroughly addicted to the game and the lore around it. We'll discuss that in more detail in future posts! I have been active at Renaissance Festivals since first attending one in 1999, but really getting into it when I made my first full outfit in 2003. My happy place is playing a lady of nobility, whether it be my original character Duchess Lucrezia of Spain, or playing as historical characters but with my own unique twists. I also enjoy dressing up as a pirate lass because who doesn't like being a pirate? I have dabbled in a bit of Cosplay at local comic cons, though I've enjoyed creating my own unique 'inspired by' cosplays more than literal portrayals of existing characters. I collect Transformers action figures like crazy. My collection goes back to the early 2000s, but would've gone back to the original G1 if my childhood toys hadn't been lost in a basement flood. I have created 3 original Transformers characters, one being my namesake Highbeam who has a deep story that I hope to one day turn into a spotlight style comic. I also enjoy collecting diecast model cars, select Funko Pops related to my fandoms, I enjoy cooking a lot, and I love to draw. All the graphics I use in my Twitch stream including my emotes were created by me. As briefly mentioned above, I do some 1940s and '50s style vintage pinup too. Nothing risque, all family and event friendly. I particularly enjoy a bit of Hollywood Glam mixed with Cheesecake pinup, something I can elaborate in a future post as well. I've competed in several pinup contests and even got first place in two contests! I have been published in a couple pinup magazines as well. I love dressing in a pinup look to attend car shows and air shows, and have volunteered at various events with and for WWII veterans and original Rosie the Riveters. I'm even in a commercial for Carhartt celebrating hard working women! I think that gives a nice rounded idea of who I am for now and I can go into more depth in future posts. I want to use this page to share my thoughts on things that I stream, discuss DOOM game lore, talk about fun events I attend, and review new additions to my collections! Catch you later!
