Alaux Posted December 18, 2021 I'm simply curious to know the community's take. I personally just call it "Doom" because it feels obnoxious otherwise. 12 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted December 18, 2021 “Doom” (without the year, because it should be obvious I’m referring to the One True Doom hehe) 18 Share this post Link to post
Stupid Bunny Posted December 18, 2021 Doom. When speaking I sometimes call it “Doom with an M” because I also talk about Dune a lot and people get confused otherwise 6 Share this post Link to post
Nine Inch Heels Posted December 18, 2021 I don't make any distinction between any of the choices you provided and do whatever I feel like with regards to capitalization... If anything I refer to doom as "classic doom" when it might be an important distinction to make, for example in the ever so rare case I happen to post in the "Doom'16/Doom Eternal" subforum, where it might less obvious which of the many dooms I actually mean... 7 Share this post Link to post

Actually I do remember a few people being quite insistent on it being typed DooM back in the 90s. Yes, it was cringe. 4 Share this post Link to post
Zulk RS Posted December 18, 2021 Though I do like how DooM looks, I call it Doom because that's the easiest to type. Sometimes I call it Doom (1993) or Classic Doom if I'm trying to make it clear that I'm not referring to Doom 2016. 1 Share this post Link to post
Pechudin Posted December 18, 2021 I actually do use DooM (as well as BooM, PrBooM, GzDooM, ...). I mean, the cover art has a capital M. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zirtonic Posted December 18, 2021 DooM. The D and M extend past the Os in the logo and I know it's just a style thing but I think they look capitalized next to the smaller Os. The exception to this is Doom 3 because I don't respect it as a DooM title. 1 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Doom, referring to Doom 1 and 2 together. Plutonia, Evilution, 64, I'll refer to them. If I want to talk about Doom 2016, I'll say Doom 2016. Doom Eternal, I'll say Doom Eternal. I'm not going to start referring to games that I've played for almost thirty years as "classic Doom". People can call them "New Doom" and "New Doom 2". But no, I don't spell it DooM, even though it more closely matches the artwork. I'll just stick with making it a basic proper noun, Doom. 2 Share this post Link to post

Imo, a proper way to differ it from the (technically) real Doom is to call it "Doom 4". 59 minutes ago, sluggard said: Doom™ 😎 DoomⓇ 1 Share this post Link to post

BigBoy91 Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I call it "Classic Doom" when people outside of the community ask me what video games I play. I never really play the others. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bauul Posted December 18, 2021 5 hours ago, Stupid Bunny said: When speaking I sometimes call it “Doom with an M” because I also talk about Dune a lot and people get confused otherwise One of the nice quirks of British English versus American English is that, in the former, "Doom" and "Dune" are pronounced quite differently. "Dune" has a dipthong in it - it sounds more like "dewn", compared to the non-dipthong "doom". 3 Share this post Link to post
Archanhell Posted December 19, 2021 Well, there clearly is a capital m on "DooM", so I always refer to it as such, even though it feels weird to me I have gotten used to it, a weird unexplainable thing which science can not give an answer to, indeed. Although there are times I call it Doom, like, I would not say "GZDooM" for example. 0 Share this post Link to post
