The DOOM MOVIE that Nobody Saw!

The Games made of Cardboard series has come to an end and what better way to say goodbye than 'FINAL DOOM made of Cardboard'
This marks an epic end to our journey which helps Celebrate DOOM's 30th anniversary,
This took three years to create and involved a significant investment of over £10,000, The entire production was accomplished within the confines of my shed, with the loving support of my dog, Wilson.
We both thank you for joining us over the years! it's been something very special.
Farewell, dear friends, as we close this chapter,
With gratitude and love, we embrace the hereafter.
Games made of cardboard, Doom's legacy I'll keep,
In my shed of dreams, forever etched deep.

[@boltingskyline5234]

He probably visits Sweden once a year or whatever it is in Europe for a blood transfusion, like the Rolling Stones. It's probably in Transylvania 😨

[@Zeon7510]

Are we sure he didn't just film this part in the 90's while he still had transdimensional portal tech that also warps spacetime? @shadicusivxxradicus2253 That would also explain why "To win the game..." we must kill him, because in reality, he's immortal!

[@retrowolf3456]

You did a better short film than Hollywood doing a full length movie on DOOM, you were kind to the subject matter, you understood the world of DOOM and you used cardboard while all the cgi and props in Hollywood cant get it right. Take a bow and have a standing ovation on behalf of the DOOM community, Well Done 👍

It's a bit bittersweet to see this project come to an end. You had a very unique way of looking at games and turning them into these labor-of-love DIY projects. I'm glad that someone (who appears in this film) pointed me in your direction.
