RetroAhoy: Doom

Up next: Maybe Quake. Perhaps something else first. Long videos take their toll.

48:45 "Can the reboot live up to the name it dares to bear?"

Yeah. Yeah, I'd say it did.

"Can the reboot live up to the name?"

Yes, Yes it does

To paraphrase Ahoy:

"Three and a half years later, this video still kicks arse."

Ever since I played Chex Quest as a child I can not stop my bloodlust and murderous rage.

This is a straight up documentary of doom

"Doom's cybernetic heart beats with the rhythm of science-fiction." Killer line.

Yes, yes they did.

a part of Doom's legacy that I'm not sure a lot of people know about: Gabe Newell credited Doom 95 with the reason why he created Valve and Steam. He was working tech support for Microsoft, and kept getting calls to help install Doom... even for non-windows platforms.

Public: Satanism is bad
Doom guy: I agree (fires rocket)

I'm a 70 year old retired college professor who has been an ardent first person shooter player since Wolfenstein 3D came out. When DooM came along, we were blessed with a truly immersive experience and a hell of a good time. I also had a good time watching this video. I was impressed with its sparkle and polish and with the narrator's strong performance. Thank you for this. I'm subbing.

fun fact, back when Doom came out, the machine shop my dad worked for had a computer lab filled up with 8 or so high end 486's with a robust networking system. so of course this thing hosted copious LAN parties. For years I figured they had this setup to run the high end CAD software they used at the time. well recently talking to my dad I found out it was the other way around. the owner was super ignorant of computers but knew they were vital. so the network admin basically had a blank check to keep stuff up to snuff. As such the man built a high end custom gaming lab under the pretence of future proofing for cad and other engineering software. I should have realized something was off when i remembered they all had sound cards and speakers. something at that time would not have been a standard thing lol!

In Aliens, you're trapped in a room with monsters. In Doom, monsters are trapped in a room with you

35:00 “[DOOM 64] is generally considered a spinoff.”

In 2020 it’s canon at last, bridging the gap between DOOM 2 and DOOM 2016.
