Doom's All Grown Up - 18 Years Well Spent!

[Clonehunter]

Happy Birthday Doom. You're 18. You're now Legal. Have some fun with Wolf 3D why don't you.

Happy birthday DOOM.

[Rambosee]

18 years of awesomeness.

[Chow Yun Thin]

Happy birthday, Doom! Thanks for the past 18 years of blasting hellspawn into bloody chunky gibs!

[Gordon]

Happy 18th, Doom.

Now to play through Episode 1 for the umpteenth time.

[Katamori]

My friend did this video for the 18th birthday. It's not English, but you don't have to understand it to laugh.

They grow up so fast. *sniff* I feel like I gibbed my first zombie only yesterday.

Thanks for knocking out the clumsy sexual metaphors off the bat.

I made mine in the thread you're supposed to post doom birthday stuff in

[ReFracture]

I love this god damn game.

Played Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and most of Alien Vendetta yesterday.

Seriously, if it wasn't for Doom and the ability to create Doom levels, I think i'd be dead.

If it wasn't for the WAD Editors then I'd probably be scribbling demons on paper, and/or writing poetry and fanfics. But fortunately, I've been doing bits of both as well as the mapping.
Mapping was and still is my favourite hobby, btw.

I wonder how long (classic) Doom's popularity will last.

I can honestly see myself coming back to WAD files with either the GZDOOM or DoomsdayEngine for every single year of my life. It fills me with arrogance and pride, and I love that.

Anyways, DOOM is now a tall and proud adult while COD is just a pathetic toddler. GOML GOML GOML, pathetic COD. Yes.

P.S.: Valkiriforce's GIF totally reflects my mood.

18 years and still kickin' it. Happy birthday Doom!

[Avoozl]

w00t, Happy 18 years of Doom goodness!

[Dr. Durr]

18 Years.
Ported to almost everything.
Millions of Mods.
A still very lively community.



Doom is the definition of a timeless game.

Doom's no pussy foot, liberal, rich kid. He's going straight to WORK!

Not a chance. His ass is going straight to Parris Island Station, home of Space Marine Corps Recruit Depot.

Happy birthday Doom!!!

Is this your way of telling us you got fat?

[GreyGhost]

More likely a horizontally polarized sine wave. :P

That's incest.

Indeed. That's like asking a son to have an affair with his own mother.
It would be much better to say: "Have some fun with Duke3D". Cause that one is like a next door neighbor rather than a blood relative.

People will continue to play classic Doom long after Call of Shitty is past it's prime.

Happy Birthday DOOM !! Looking forward to many more years to come !!

[Daiyu_Xiaoxiang]

Happy Birthday Doom!!!

[C30N9]

This shows how simple games with easy modding are much better than modern games. Happy Birthday! Long live Doom!

If that wasn't true, then Doomworld would've shut down 2 years ago.

I wish that I could give some +1 likes to some of the posts bringing out some really strong and valid points in this epic thread. DoomWorld needs to have a 'Like button'. Why should we be reserving all the glory for Zuckerberg's invention? He probably never shot a single Imp to save the world, so he's not even worthy of having the 'Like button' reserved to his domain only.

Getting back on topic, I keep imagining what the 20th anniversary of DOOM will be like in 2013. I hope you guys have something big planned for that.

Well there's this site.

And i'm pretty sure there's a wip at the zdoom forums being dedicated to it, not sure what else there is.

That's strangely mesmerising.

WAD (ZDoom required)

IIRC, credits to Scuba Steve for the marine sprite.

[Dr. Durr]

Greatest. WAD. Ever.

How is that I only recognize three people who have posted in this thread...I guess the community's still growing, anyway.

At any rate, here I am, saying, yes, I am still interested in you Doom! (If anyone wants to help with my ZDoom mod it could be more interesting for everyone. :D E-mail it.)

Peace!
