303 sucks

[forgettable pyromaniac]

I took a short break from making my city level to look through some Maximum Doom wads cuz I got bored.



303sux22 is the best wad, change my mind.

Also who or what is 303

[Dubbag]

that band 3oh3 from like ten years ago is all I can think of.

[Dwimepon]

303... isn't that an error message? But it's not good for sure.

[wallabra]

Eugh, hardware FM drum machines. What are you, a caveman?!

It's a redirection code

[P41R47]

think 303 Sucks is good?

you haven't tried Doom 404 yet ;)

[Dark Pulse]

Probably a class that some bored teenager or college student really fucking hated.

[Chopkinsca]

Check out this dude that doesn't know what 303 is! LOL

[Nekr0s1s]

the synthesizer that defined techno music. (if i recally correctly.)

[1Destro3456]

303 that pesky number, it looks and sounds way more horrible than its similar 33, 33 is way more symmetrical and I can easily find what multiplication of number could reach 33, that's really ease 3 x 11 = 33, but with 303, who knows that?! Nobody. I tell you, and if you do then get a degree or something and leave me alone. 303 also is way harder to pronounce and spell than 33 when I spell 33 its easy you know thirty-three but with 303 that's way harder tree shunder and htree, erte undehrersnuigdhfebjkf, this is so harddddddd, 303 sucks really hard, fuck that number

Maybe 303 is an awful highway route the author had to drive to work on.   I've seen bumper stickers saying 422 sucks.

The area code for phones where I live is 303.

There's also the TB-303  , which is most definitely not suck-y.

Nah, it's silly, just like 90s video game graphics. Oh wait.

Tonight, who or what is the mysterious 303 alluded to in 303sux22.wad? Respected Doom scholars weigh in. The answers just may surprise you. Or not. Also, what happened to the legendary dwango09.wad? All this and more tonight, on Unsolved Doom Mysteries...

I don't know why but I can hear the X-files theme in my head for some reason.

I think it was the mapper's area code or something

[Archanhell]

You know, I actually hate 303, it sucks, it is a bad number but it is not as bad as triple 3.

I actually dislike the number 3, what the hell is wrong with the number 3!?

Ha ha! Yes! There is a road, the A303, near me that goes past Stonehenge. It's a Nasty Road (but OK on a sunny day on my 'Busa doing 'flat out' at 60mph...).

 

EDIT: There's even a TV programme about it: 

 

 

It's also a HTTP response code that I have never seen in anger:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/303, meaning a redirect isn't necessarily what is expected.

i read 343 sucks and i though this was something about halo

[roadworx]

i wonder if the author still hates 303

[DisgruntledPorcupine]

I never played any of the Maximum Doom maps before so I decided to give this a try... suddenly so much more of Mock 2 makes sense.

[Kurogachii]

Don't know who 303 is but i bet he's better than the Nostalgia Critic.

[Gokuma]

Original author's mind would probably be blown by the amount of discussion their simple venting map has triggered over two decades later.

[leodoom85]

Looks like 404's older, annoying brother.

[Maximum Matt]

Other mind-meltingly awesome maps from the sublime Maximum Doom collection include Nick, dmdv2, mhacker2 and mic2

I thought that too so I looked up what area code it is and that wouldn’t be the greatest thing if it’s true given the region

[Doomkid]

There's no mystery here, it's apparently a reference to Denver, Colorado (Maximum Matt nailed it). TXT files are your friend!

Description             : 303 (Denver Colorado Area Code)
                          Design based on blue prints of

                          many 303 levels I will do, and I will
                          eventually replace a few textures
                          with some of my own.
