Forget Oculus Rift, play Doom with a Toaster

The burning question: Is this possible with a George Foreman grill?

Cool at first glance, then I told to myself: What a nonsense. It appears soooo impractical and uncomfortable to control.

And he plays Brutal Doom.

Quake running on an oscilloscope was a better appealing technical achievement to me. Even though it hurt eyes.

*cue the jokes about already playing Doom in a "toaster"*

ok then found it again.

[Technician]

Meh. I'd still like to utilize some kind of sensory camera so I can use my erect cock as a joystick.

[Super Flip]

It looks like he's throwing a tantrum while playing that.

[AD_79]

This is the way Brutal Doom was meant to be played.

[Clonehunter]

Technology has gone too far.

[Blastfrog]

That looks like he played back a demo recorded with M+KB and bashed his hands on toasters while the game played itself.

I realize it's probably a joke but it's just not a very entertaining one.

Actually didn't sound unbelievable until remapping the keys. Also, those paper towels.

I'd imagine so.

A speedrun of Hangar or Entryway using only the toaster lever and command prompt would make for an interesting challenge.

First thing I need is a newer toaster.

[Zed]

Honestly, I prefer the piano. Besides, this is probably fake.

I think it is too. I can't bring myself to watch it a second time but watch the screen as hes beating the hell out of those toasters. Nothing is happening in sync with his fisting and doomguy is moving while dude's fists are in the air. A joke video maybe?

[Sergeant_Mark_IV]

YES! This is how I initially envisioned Brütal Doom when I started it.

I'm glad that nowadays we have the technology to properly run it.

Right, challenge mode:

Make doom playable with a cracked calculator screen, a lemon, 2 rusty iron nails, a children's battery powered toy phone, a shitload of wires and crimping tools, 3 half functional relays and a single pole switch.

Make a controller out of that and I will be very impressed.

My old laptop is about as functional. Challenge accepted.
