Ahoy affirmed that “X years later, Doom still kicks arse.” Now, at the time of writing my comment, of which I clearly stated that I was paraphrasing, it was 3 and a half years since the upload date of the video. I could have said “18 years later, and this video still kicks arse.”, but I did not think it was a good enough comment to wait until 2034 to post. I’m sure if you think REALLY hard you can see why I wrote “3 and a half years” 3 and a half years after the video was posted. Please don’t hurt your head thinking about it too much though.

fun fact, back when Doom came out, the machine shop my dad worked for had a computer lab filled up with 8 or so high end 486's with a robust networking system. so of course this thing hosted copious LAN parties. For years I figured they had this setup to run the high end CAD software they used at the time. well recently talking to my dad I found out it was the other way around. the owner was super ignorant of computers but knew they were vital. so the network admin basically had a blank check to keep stuff up to snuff. As such the man built a high end custom gaming lab under the pretence of future proofing for cad and other engineering software.

**Taken from the original Doom 1 manual** ------------------------------------------------------------ THE STORY SO FAR ------------------------------------------------------------ You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago you assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbor, while you were transferred to Mars, home of the Union Aerospace Corporation. The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with radioactive waste facilities on Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos. With no action for fifty million miles, your day consisted of suckin' dust and watchin' restricted flicks in the rec room. For the last four years the military, UAC's biggest supplier, has used the remote facilities on Phobos and Deimos to conduct various secret projects, including research on inter-dimensional space travel. So far they have been able to open gateways between Phobos and Deimos, throwing a few gadgets into one and watching them come out the other. Recently however, the Gateways have grown dangerously unstable. Military "volunteers" entering them have either disappeared or been stricken with a strange form of insanity-babbling vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering an untimely death of full-body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to send home to the folks became a full-time job. Latest military reports state that the research is suffering a small set-back, but everything is under control. A few hours ago, Mars received a garbled message from Phobos. "We require immediate military support. Something fraggin' evil is coming out of the Gateways! Computer systems have gone berserk!" The rest was incoherent. Soon afterwards, Deimos simply vanished from the sky. Since then, attempts to establish contact with either moon have been unsuccessful. You and your buddies, the only combat troop for fifty million miles were sent up pronto to Phobos. You were ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio picked up the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally, silence. Seems your buddies are dead. It's Up To You. Things aren't looking too good. You'll never navigate off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons have been taken by the assault team leaving you with only a pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your way out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple of pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod. Hopefully you can find more substantial firepower somewhere within the station. As you walk through the main entrance of the base, you hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors. They know you're here. There's no turning back now.

My biggest issue with Doom 3 is that it fleshed out this story in such a pedestrian way. Oh, a wayward scientist that apparently has been possessed. What about the corporate oversight? What about the idea of a society that created "Berserker packs" and presses on with "military volunteers" for teleporters after stringent combat that called for firing on civilians? "It's pathetic!"-Burke in Aliens There is so much more to say here that ties into timeless human plights as hinted by this small initial story given for the first game; societal and corporate hubris, a general lack of kindness and respect for people on a societal wide scale, technological dissonance, societal homogenization, and so many eschatological ideas.

The game was just unbelievable, it was fast, funny, addictive. I also was one of the first to witness the first run of a new something, downloaded via BBS to 1.44 disks: DOOM. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of my eyes, I thought it was a movie or something. The sound was out of this world. I thought I was dreaming. I spent so many nights of my College years running (no mouse) through the DOOM corridors, full of anxiety. There wasn't, literally, anything even remotely close to DOOM back in those days. It was such a market disruptive force. I only grasp anything resembling that awe sensation when I first saw Crysis and its unbelievable beach scenes (with crabs! for God's sake...).

Honestly, I like the old Dooms much more. Everything was much more ambiguous and mysterious, the atmosphere of those years transported you to another place, today everything is too clear and leaves no room for imagination. The enemies seem too realistic caricatures, the mystery, the fear, the confusion has been lost, you felt as if the game wanted to tell you something that you were not able to understand, on the other hand, the original soundtrack will always be unsurpassed.
