I STILL liked Doom before it was mainstream

Recommended Posts

I've beaten many a map in Demonsteele by walking at monsters + mashing mouse anyways so it's no skin off my nose.

I keep seeing the word "tenets" being used rather liberally in these articles.

I don't think it means what they think it means.

Doom is on Playboy. Finally Sex and Violence.

The basic tenets of Doom are that it’s fast, violent and explosive

any opinion, principle, doctrine, dogma, etc.,

I dunno, seems fine?

I still remember reading a article about a up & coming game called "Heretic" in a playboy magazine once many years ago that I stole from a buddies dad's mag collection.

I think my expression was "well, I'll be damned..." as I completely forgot all about the boobies and focused solely on reading that article.

Good stuff! Who'd ever thunk it?!

You know, it's been ages since I've heard people snickering about "reading it for the articles" regarding Playboy. Remember when that line was a thing?

I mean, it was a double edge sword. In one hand, well, you know...

BUT on the other... out of the corner of your eye, you suddenly see a side snippet of some really damn good journalism, and then you completely forget what you came to do in the first place. Too much distraction. It'd be today's equivalent of having Youporn open on one window, and Wikipedia on the other. Chaos. Just chaos, sir.

Why can't Doom just be that game I would play in the living room, sitting on the floor, and getting lost in a world of killing demons for hours.

I should feel these emotions for people.

Linguica are you trying to tell us something? Are you a doom hipster? Or rather a Doomster. :P

I think he's a Muenster

Well, then it doesn't count. Nothing cool about a Doom article on wads if it was influenced by a Doomworld member. Obviously that's cheating.

I must be a Doom hipster... Of the 6 mods mentioned in the Playboy article, I've played through and liked Lunatic. Still, got to love all that recognition this community gets!

Pretty sure Doom was mainstream before it wasn't.

Wow, tell us more about this Brutal mod Playboy...


I wish outlets would stop bring up that goddamn mod like it means something to the community in general.

Apparently, literally the one likable thing about Doom is building up mountains of gore. Or at least that's what far too many people seem to think.

It's funny because the gore is awesome, but there's so much more to it - Maps that make you think, an awesome arsenal of enemies that are all unique, a perfect set of well balance weapons, maps that 'awe' you at what the creator was capable of, Mods that make the game so different it's basically a new game, excellent cooperative play, excellent deathmatch play..

If we're being honest the gore is just one small piece of the pie. I wish more "mainstream" articles would acknowledge that, though I'm thankful for the ones that do.
