Spase Posted April 14, 2006 In the ending image of the Shores Of Hell, What are we looking at? At first I thought we were looking at Hell, floating above some mysterious Hellish underworld, Then I thought that we were looking at Hell floating above Deimos and that all those spikes in the foreground were the mountains of Deimos, Then I thought that the floating Island was just a chunk of Deimos (Or the entirety of Deimos) floating above Hell, and that Hell was depicted as a misty pink field of jutting wooden spikes. Which of these are correct if at all? 0 Share this post Link to post

VileSlay Posted April 14, 2006 deimos is most likely just an asteroid orbiting mars. it's not round like our moon, but angular. it's dimensions are only 15×12×10 km so I think thats what they were trying to portray, a small asteroid-like moon floating over hell. 0 Share this post Link to post
TwinBeast Posted April 14, 2006 I always thought the floating island was a floating island Doomguy is trying to get, because on the floating island is the spidermastermind plotting his hideous world domination plans :D 0 Share this post Link to post

That's damn right. Check en.wikipedia.org, search for Phobos and Deimos; they have asteroid-based shapes. ALSO: That image made me think that INFERNO (ep3) = MARS. Red mountains, no doubt. Even though they're croissant-shaped :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Terra-jin Posted April 17, 2006 Which brings us to the question: are the demons actually Martians? 0 Share this post Link to post

Even though they're croissant-shaped :D Yeah, but the story says Deimos disappeared off the sky (i.e., it went to Hell.) That's how the invasion began; the UAC/military messed with the Anomalies throwing shit between them, so eventually they managed to activate something that allowed Deimos to be sucked into Hell (or "Hell's orbit") and from there the monsters hopped onto Deimos and then teleported to Phobos. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm glad to see I'm not the only STH3/S&K fan here :-p Anyways, one thing I never understood about the storyline is that in Doom 2, during one of the little intermissions, it's referred to as an "alien" invasion! Also, how is "Thy Flesh Consumed" supposed to relate to the original Doom story? Like, where is it supposed to take place? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted April 18, 2006 "Thy Flesh Consumed" takes place between Inferno and Doom 2. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted April 18, 2006 I have troubles making connections weather id wanted it to be aliens or truly demon (I believe the second) although if demons were to invade earth they would be classified as aliens. Like the Pine beetle up here in Canada. Picture Inferno is the journey into Doom 2. 0 Share this post Link to post

I believe that "Thy Flesh Consumed" takes place in the burning city you see beyond the rabbit head at the end of Inferno. The place has been totally fuck'd up by the demons though so that would explain all the wood, green marble and flaming blue torches. Just like the Deimos base. (Do you really think that astrophysicists would be weird enough to put flinty lions head sculptures on the walls to activate their machines? I don't think so.) 0 Share this post Link to post

geekmarine Posted April 18, 2006 Oh, that part of the story always cracked me up... Rappelling off a moon. And I don't blame our hero for making an ouchface at that one bit, either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted April 18, 2006 yeah... 'cept there he's no rappelling so much as sliding down a long firemans pole. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post

Ringman Posted May 2, 2006 Anybody ever do a good fanfic of the doom story? Something better then the shitty books. It'd be nice to see a genuine fan's interpretation of the plotline. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bank Posted May 3, 2006 How come hell has pink cotton candy around those big spikes? 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted May 3, 2006 That's probably flesh, like in those nasty pink textures that you find throughout E3. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spase Posted May 3, 2006 If you look closely at the sky in E3 you will see the big columns rising amongst red and pink smoke, with noticaebly bright spacks of light near the bottom. This implys that the columns are rising amidst a thick bloody smoke. Blood doesn't act like that, in a fire it would just curdle, but in Hell, Anything is possible! I guess the pink mist was meant by Adrian Carmack (or Kevin Cloud I don't know which one did the backgrounds) to be a more carnal and disturbingly visceral interpretation of the smoke of the fire and brimstone of Hell. 0 Share this post Link to post
