the reason you cant look up or down is because the slayers helmet is actually physically attached to his neck and he cant look up and down because of it

So, it's kinda like Batman's mask from the Burton films, but worse?

the guy that makes Knee Deep in the Dead was actually Sandy Peterson, but Romero just pay him 666 dollar to become famous so he can advertising his very epic and famous game, Witchaven

It's surprising how many people don't know the history of Doomworld. Of course everyone knows who founded it and all, but the story goes so much deeper than that. Before the trio who formed the website we know today, the original project was run solely by our dear @Linguica and his lesser known brother Linguicius. 

 

Now, to go on a bit of a tangent, the history of these two is quite the story as well. The two were born in Alba Linguica to the beautiful Rhea Skillsaw. Unfortunately for her, she was living in Alba Linguica, where Twins are illegal. So homegirl puts the two boys in a basket to float down a river that led out of the country. After crying and floating on this river for two days, the babes attracted the attention of a wolf. And this wolf like, takes care of them or some shit. Linguica and Linguicius grew up with a wolf pack doing wolf shit, until, on one faithful day in November of 1993, the two boys were found by a humble shepherd, John Romero. The kind man took the two under his care, introducing the two boys to the mystical concept of 'computer software.' After around a month, John left the two to their own devices to go work on a recreational program known as DOOM. Forlorn and feeling betrayed by their former caretaker, the two Ling brothers set out to plan to destroy the man that had taught them English and shit (since they were previously speakers of Wolfish).

 

The two spent months, maybe even years, compiling enough junk from around the Fragglian wastes to build their own DOS machine. Building this shit can from spare wires, circuits, and other do-dads, they set out to make an anti-John Romero website. But, our fateful hero had a rising point in his character arc, for he installed DOOM to his makeshift laptop and learned the true meaning of life.

 

It is here, on the Aventine hill, that Linguica said to his brother:

"Oh brother, should we be of those of destruction? To set out our wills and passions to eradicate another? Isn't it of man's evil that this desire is born; this desire of ours which we have shared against an enemy who we have felt has betrayed our souls? If this is the path we have chosen to take, then hark! I wish to take it no more!"

 

To which Linguicus replied:

 

"It is of the foolish mindset to believe that trepidation will grant us passage into the divine. Ever since you have immersed yourself within the heretical spawn of the one of which we conspire against have I sensed a weakness within you, a weakness which will fester and grow to destroy us both! We have destined ourself, as wolf-kind to beset the time of man to retreat back into stone, and you sit here and bargain with me to spare this creature who has damned us to the trough for which suffering feeds? I will not listen to another word of your weakness brother! I will create this website! I will destroy that which has set us wrong! I will create mega shitposts upon the great plain of the internet!"

 

The proud Linguicus stands with defiant finger in the air, a willful expression of fury painted across his dirty face. His brother stands to meet his gaze, and speaks:

 

"You have deluded yourself with the grandiose ide---" he is hit in the head with a rock.

 

A vicious battle erupts. Slashes are slashed. Bites are bitten. Rips are torn. Punches are... punched. The brothers ignite their fury and set out with vicious savagery to burn the other to cinders. In the end, Linguica stands the taller wolf-man, and Linguicus doesn't stand, for he is now a puddle.

The reason why only the SS guys are present in map 31 and 32 is because Shawn green wanted to include the full cast of enemies, but playtesters said that every other enemy ruined how sexy the SS guys were, so Shawn removed them and as a reward, Bobby dedicated the MAP07 soundtrack after him and his favorite song [South of heaven].

Although the monster placement in Misri Halek was done by Kim André Malde, much of the map's layout was made by the professional Egyptologist India Johnson, who modeled it after a real Egyptian site that did in fact contain an underground lava cavern. The original site was sadly destroyed during the events of the 658 Days War/2, making Misri Halek one of its only eyewitness accounts.

Doom was originally supposed to be called Die-Katana, but was changed due to the game having no katanas.

American McGee's surname has a soft G. If you've been pronouncing it with a hard G, you've been pronouncing it wrong all along.

During Doom's development, Sandy Petersen went to vacation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The experience proved to be a source of inspiration, and when Sandy returned, he immediately started work on Episode 3 of Doom, Inferno.

 

The zombies and imps say "warui na!" when harmed.

When making "Memento Mori" the creators made a very dumb orthographical mistake. The correct word would be "momento", since it obviously comes from the word "moment", as there's no such word as "mement". I guess back in 1995 the standards of education were much worse.

The music for E1M1 was recently voted "*1 piece of music we'd like to hear again" in Galloping Diarrhea magazine.

 

I used a star instead of a hash as my keyboard doesn't appear to have a hash key. Very handy in 2021.

final doom is actually a bootleg made by the us government to spy on doom players and track search and incognito history. then they give that to russia so that russia can feed their secret population of underground sewer people peoples search histories so that they can get smarter and invade the world population and bring down every single country except for russia and america 

[MajorRawne]

Avoid installing Doom on your system to prevent the government instaling a virtual microchip on your computer. You are very special and the government is falling over itself to watch your every move.

 

The real microchips in your mobile phone, computer, laptop, games console, TV, microwave, car engine, etc, are all fine.

The cacodemon was designed around a cloud john romero saw and then couldn't get out of his mind, and not the common misconception of it coming from a DnD monster

There is an easter egg in e2m1 of doom 1 beta where it references mario, one pipe takes you to e2m1 and the other takes you to e1m10 (unused beta level) the pipe didn't work so I had to cheat to get to it.

If you have doom beta here is how to get to it

Every copy of plutonia had a few grams of real Plutonium. Thats why it was banned to export to Iran, to prevent development of nuclear infrastructure.
