[Note: I realize that there are several similar threads akin to this, but none are terribly recent, and I'm too lazy to find them.]

So, my 6-month-old is getting her first teeth, which is one of those watershed parenting moments in which conflicting emotions -- pride and relief that she's healthy and developing; wistfulness that she is no longer your tiny infant girl; sorrow that she is in pain; ungodly frustration that you, her protector, cannot ease that pain; excitement at knowing she will soon experience her first bites of real food -- surge and wrestle within you until you are emotionally exhausted. It is also a time in which the little brats occasionally scream like maniacs and it drives you up the wall, and you find yourself doing anything you can to comfort them.

I bring this up because last night, as I was sauntering around the house with a fussy little girl in my arms, I found myself humming a sweet little childish tune in hopes it would help calm her down. My wife, who was listening, looked up and asked, "What is that song from?"

I had to think about it for a moment, but then, rather sheepishly, replied, "That's D_BUNNY -- the song that plays after you beat the Spider Mastermind in episode 3 of the original DOOM."

So, what's your "Oh, it's a DOOM thing" story?

I often imagine how real life architecture would work well as maps...but for games like half life and rainbow six. I don't find myself thinking "this would be a good doom map" very often

I thought it was adorable. Did you actually get to the part of the song where it turns all twisted and demented?

When I own my first house, I am actually going to paint all the keys and doorknobs different colors. Not just because Doom did it, but because it's actually a good idea. No more trying every single key to remember which one opened the door from the kitchen to the garage, just look for the blue key. =P

1. Looked silly, and probably would result in the sentry inspectors reporting me for acting ridiculous while on duty.
   
2. It was fun maybe for one minute ("Look ma, I'm like Doomguy!"), but there was no way I could keep this up for a full 3-hour guard shift 12:00-3:00.
   
3. Well....I was expecting no demons in MY base, so I turned it down a few notches and just walked my post normally from then on ;-)

Whenever I try to open a locked door, I make the Doom dude's grunting noise...but my voice is a lot deeper than his :) I also try to look down without looking at my arms or legs - after all the Doom Dude can do it :P

Does anyone else look for real-life texture misalignment?
