WAD of the week
That is the title reserved for the best WAD in that newstuff review.

The Goddam Shithouse
This is where the worst(s) WAD go. In The /newstuff Chronicles #286 AlexMax declared there were so many terrible WADs that week that he "decided to put them all under one banner...the goddamn shithouse". WADs in The Goddamn Shithouse gets just a short comment and no screenshots. Gamarra series is repeatedly "featured" in this section.
