What does Tyrese have to do with Doom?

[Gianluco]

I'm making a video about an iceberg (it's the third time in a row I'm writing this phrase wtf) and one of the entries is just "Tyrese". While looking for it I only found a rapper, what does he have to do with Doom? 

 

Edit: So,  I thought I was just being stupid and this was some sort of well-known thing (or some inside joke). Btw here's the iceberg image because I forgot to put it

Maybe it's related to the UV Tyson speedrunning category?

 

They're separate names but Tyson does sound similar to Tyrese. It's a far-fetch but all that comes to my mind.

[7Mahonin]

Probably something made up that has nothing to do with Doom.

[dasho]

You do realize that the entries get more nonsensical on purpose with those, right? You might see something like "Carmack and Romero are the same person" or somesuch.

[D4NUK1]

This is a Terry.wad Iceberg rigth?

[Mr Masker]

Media Iceberg creators when they get to the 500th layer and they're literally just making shit up:

Wait, i though John Carmack and Adrian Carmack we're the same person because of there last names? Am i wrong? *mind blown*

[mrthejoshmon]

Tyrese has nothing to do with Doom, whoever the fuck Tyrese is.

 

If it was supposed to be Tyson that just shows how little the iceberg maker actually knew, would you mind sharing said iceberg so I can ^{(hopefully not)} lament how it is nothing but endlessly regurgitated surface knowledge/a list of .wad files.

So many Doom fans these days who've never heard of the Pain Elemental Tyrese. 'Ele Tyrese they called him. Big Papa Pain. Absolute legend if there was one.

The entire id team was actually just one person using many different names and disguises.  Tom Hall was forced out when he discovered this terrible secret and threatened to leak the info to the public.

The kids are probably more familiar with his heel run on the N64 - when they switched up his gimmick and only ever referred to him as The Genetic Freak.

*writing it down* So Romero's hair is not real? It was made in the IdTech 1 engine

 

[ShallowB]

Of course John Romero’s hair is real. That’s as real as it gets.

 

Not Kevin Cloud’s arm hair though.  That was all done with mirrors.

Could you perchance provide some fucking context

Don't forget about his ole' humble son, Ty. Ty Son. He loved overdosing on Berserk and always had two Hi-Point C9s on him at all times. Couldn't use 'em cause he was a Lost Soul with no arms.

If you're gonna be talking about a vague, probably amateurly crafted iceberg image, perhaps provide us with that iceberg image?

Love how this thread turned from Tyrese to Tin-foil hatted conspiracy theories.

Found the origin of this, as well as https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/138048-tnt-composer-died/ which comes from https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/wcv69z/doom_iceberg_i_found_on_the_iceberg_subreddit/

 

The image in that Reddit post appears to be as follows, and as how quite a few people have mentioned in this thread, quite a few of these entries are bunk / jokes.

Calling most of those jokes is a charitable description.

[Gentlepoke]

For whatever reason, that Tyrese name is used twice in this particular iceberg. Possibly a copyright trap to prevent others from duplicating their "iceberg", if it can be called that or to trip people up?

For fucks sake, why not condense all of these iceberg questions to a single thread and put it in 'Doom General' or something?

It was late in my country and I just took a break. I didn't think of that lmao

[7Mahonin]

Isn’t the whole iceberg thing old news now and for doom specifically hasn’t it already been done to death?

Ah yeah, DECINO my favorite layer of hell with Hard falters and Stagers combos.

[mrthejoshmon]

Columbine shit on the penultimate section is a clear cut indicator of how trend chasing and wank this iceberg is, that shit is rudimentary knowledge that is so unfortunately ingrained into us at this point it should be tier 1.

 

If you want an iceberg, this one made in cooperation with the community by @skript_kitty is so much better and actually has things that are real and actually worth researching.

 

The fact that this iceberg is 95% Doom Eternal also chaffs my ass, not gonna lie.

 

Also fuck you mean TNT/Plutonia/Master Levels is tier 3 4!? ^{(this iceberg is an eyesore and hard to read)}

i clearly must not be a deep enough doom diver, who in the fuck is commander valen. what in the fuck is an immoran trooper

Spoiler

ok i'll stop shitposting for one second to say that i agree with mrthejoshmon. this iceberg looks like it was made by a newdoom fanboy who took 0.1% of a glance at classic doom content

 

[calsaintski]

This iceberg screams "It was made by some young teen".

Memes, made-up bullshit, and the amount of crammed shit into it to make it look like it's some kind of rabbit hole.

 

The nail on the head is really "Doom Slayer murders all characters from hazbin hotel".

 

[Caffeine Freak]

Icebergs are a dumb internet trend, mostly because they are a shallow, overly simplistic way of categorizing information.

[Scypek2]

The first iceberg meme ever created was probably pretty clever. Same as the first instance of most overdone jokes.

The very first one that was made for whatever probably made sense. But applying to everything just makes them ridiculous and overdone. 

 

I feel old seeing Doom 64. One of the first mods I remember finding years ago was the D64 Absolution.
