Awesome Doom

(PG-13) Legends never die, they just get re-released. That said, id Software’s bundle of its influential first-person shooters is packing serious heat. Both games now support 1080p/60fps on all platforms, with up to 4K/120fps for beefier devices. It also comes with a new single-player episode plus online deathmatch and co-op for up to 16 players.

Bethesda Softworks presents a new mobile game set in the animated DOOM universe. This fast-paced, top-down shooter has players taking down massive hordes of cute and cuddly demons in familiar locations and with smartphone-friendly single-finger gameplay. Drops 3.21.23, with pre-registration open now.

We recently got a look at Sean Hodgins’ unique (and dangerous) spinning Christmas tree that creates the impression of a tree using lights and a persistence of vision illusion. After fans asked him if it could be programmed to play DOOM, he posted this video demonstrating the tree’s ability to be used as a gaming display.

Stylophone expert maromaro1337 performed a medley of the heavy metal music hidden in plain sight in the corridors of the 1990s first-person shooter, DOOM. The game’s soundtrack swiped riffs from Metallica, Pantera, AC/DC, and Anthrax, among others. See how many you can identify without opening your eyes.

In the Fortress of Doom in DOOM Eternal, you’ll see a trio of bad-ass guitars, designed by artist Ethan Evans. Orbital Guitars looked at the one in the middle called the Crucible, and said “yeah, I can make that,” and got to building a real-world, 8-string version of the guitar. It’s made from wenge wood and epoxy resin.

When computer geeks want to show off, they try to make DOOM run in unlikely places. In this case, Max Holt took the game and used Windows Task Manager’s multicore view to show off a version of the classic FPS, using a ridiculous 896 CPU cores. It also plays PONG.

Gaming Heads‘ cute and cuddly plush toys are based on two of DOOM’s creepy floating creatures, the horned Pain Elemental and the spiky Cacodemon. Each one measures about 7″ tall, and would look great sitting on any gamer’s couch. They also made a Space Marine plush, but sadly it’s already sold out.

With both Animal Crossing: New Horizons and DOOM Eternal released on the same day, The Chalkeaters and singer Natalia Natchan thought it might be fun if the two games were actually one. And so, they made a song and an animated music video featuring the adorable Isabelle and her new friend, DOOM Slayer. Full song here.

Mashed attempts to do for the gruesomne shooter DOOM what The Mandalorian did for Star Wars, by introducing an adorable baby protagonist for everyone to fawn over. There’s no way the Demons of Hell are gonna eat this little slayer’s soul.

It’s been a long time coming, but the sequel to Bethesda’s excellent DOOM reboot finally drops on 3/20/20. DOOM Eternal continues the tradition of gory, edge of your seat first-person shooter thrills, with new creatures, upgraded weapons, and even more visceral action, as Hell’s armies bring their brand of terror to Earth.

(Gore) “Warning: the Slayer has entered the facility.” Bethesda recently unveiled nearly 15 minutes of gameplay footage from Doom Eternal. Check out the Slayer’s new weapons, tools and enemies, including a dash ability and a meat hook on the Super Shotgun.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 2 years since the successful relaunch of the pioneering FPS series Doom. Now we have a sequel to that reboot. Doom Eternal either takes place in Hell, or an Earth that’s been turned to hell. Either way, there will be lots of monsters to frag/.

We’ve seen DOOM run on everything from a calculator to a toaster. But this is the first time we’ve seen the game on an Etch A Sketch. We’re impressed with lily-liver’s ability to replicate the game’s screen on the toy, even if he cheated a bit by tracing the diagonal lines.

When we played the new version of DOOM, the barrage of creepy monsters, environments, shrieks, and splatter sounds stressed us out. But it’s amazing how much more playful the game seems when you replace the sound effects with goofy cartoon ones like Petronius did.

Vexal shows off a ridiculous mod he performed on his Porsche which he claims allows him not only to play the classic FPS DOOM on its screen, but to control the game using the car’s steering wheel, horn, gear shifter, and accelerator. Sure, it’s fake, but it’s still hilarious.

3A’s sixth scale action figure is a realistic take on the DOOM Guy’s armor and arsenal. The 13″ tall figure has 27 points of articulation and comes with a plasma rifle, a combat shotgun, a super shotgun, a chainsaw and three pairs of interchangeable hands.
