GraphicBleeder Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Doom 4 was started in 1998 and took 15 years to develop and came out in 2011 ending up a giant disappointment while it's competitor, Duke Nukem Forever, started in 1998 and released in 2001 to critical acclaim, calling it "the best first person shooter since Doom" 4 Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) The Revenant isn't actually punching you - she has no eyes, so she's actually trying to stop herself from falling when she bumps into you. Bonus true fact: As hinted above, the Revenant is actually female. Turn-ons: Space Marines and Napalm. Turn-offs: Ceilings and guys who keep their distance. 2 Share this post Link to post
AinuTheTaken Posted November 17, 2020 It was a Tuesday. Carmack said to himself, "It's 2:22pm. How can we top Wolfenstein 3D?" By 3:00pm, he had topped it. (He thought of Doom.) 3 Share this post Link to post

Ar_e_en Posted November 21, 2020 4 True Fun Facts: Map 32 of Plutonia is called "Go 2 it", map 32 of Plutonia 2 is called "Go 4 it" and map 32 of Plutonia 3 is called "Go 8 it". The names of these maps are a reference to John Romeros thought processes when he used to find any pastry (He goes to it. HE GOES FOR IT! And then he ate it...). In 2007 - King Crimson bassist Tony Levin ripped off the music of DOOM 2 ("Entryway" specifically) for his song "Welcome" and the only reason why he hasn't been sued is because Bobby Prince doesn't want to open up that can of worms. In id lore - Doomguy is related to the Wolfenstein character Blowjob Blazkowicz. BONUS SUPER MARIO FACT: The Mario 64 glitch BLJ stands for "Blow-Long-Job". The Eternity Engine source port doesn't exist, it is a mass delusion that is plaguing many DOOM fans. 1 True Kinda-Sorta-Edgy Fact (and no - it has nothing to do with the EDGE source port): Spoiler Every wad author who implements new enemies into Vanilla DOOM goes through the same mental anguish of being thankful for the existence of Nazi Germany and suicidal children. 9 Share this post Link to post
Ar_e_en Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) 5 Extra Fun Facts: After making PRBoom +/UMAPINFO - Graf decided to work on a secret project that will revolutionize the world of Boom source ports, details are yet unknown but the name of the project is "The Crispy Chocolate QGZLPRBoom+/UMAPINFOVAVOOME3DGE-My-Best-Marine-Up Engine" If someone develops a DOOM source port that doesn't work - God himself will come down from Heaven and he will smack the ports developer in the head for breaking the 11th Commandment - "Anything can run DOOM!" Crispy DOOM is crispy! Oh... GOD, IS IT FUCKING CRIsPY! Despite common knowledge - NO, Chocolate DOOM doesn't taste like chocolate, because it is a fucking program, not a piece of food! Every copy of DOOM is personalized (that's what the mods are for). 4 Share this post Link to post

AtticTelephone Posted December 29, 2020 If you type "IDSUCKS" while playing Doom II, you will be warped to MAP30, where the Icon of Sin will summon spawn cubes that will directly come out of your monitor and telefrag you in your chair. All your life-insurance money will then go to Id Software. 9 Share this post Link to post

The Cacodemon was inspired by a sauce covered meatball Sandy Petersen accidentally left in the fridge at Id Software for 3 months, and when he found it again it looked like a demon-like thing. And such the Cacodemon was born. 12 Share this post Link to post
