    They updated the main menu and looks like they added some things.

    Also I've been getting a lot of glitches in single player mode. No chainsaw animations, for a while I couldn't shoot any guns until I accessed the map, and climbing animation was off as well.

    Just finished my first run through. Wasn't really trying to get every secret along the way, just wanted to see all the levels. Such a fun game. I liked the parts where you shot the demons. Can't wait to try again.

    Y'know what was a small touch in this game that I loved? The cyberdemon picks you up, throws you across the room, and you land on your feet. There's something about that that sold the feeling of being a badass better than any other moment in the game for me.

    What's impressive to me is that I hate videogame badasses and somehow love it in Doom. I think it's because the Doom Marine isn't cool. He's just super metal. He doesn't quip, isn't swooned over by the ladies. He's just super good at one thing.

    Macrame? I would not have guessed.

    I loved all the talk in noclip's documentary about that. How things like the Gore Nest are typically something a player avoids in games because it triggers a fight. Doom Guy wants a fight. Does tearing this flesh pile apart start a fight? Great. Let's fucking go.

    Hugo Martin seems to be a very, very smart guy who knew exactly how to thread that needle

    If you really have to bring Duke Nukem back again, please give it to him

    This raises the question: are ripping and tearing two different things? Or different descriptions of the same activity?

    I've been thinking some thoughts, and I almost want to write a thing examining the different ways DOOM and Wolfenstein TNO use their respective franchises's legacy

    I think there's some really interesting stuff to look at

    It's rip AND tear not rip and/or tear

    Ripping causes tearing, I guess

    According to the LORE, The Doom Marine is a descendant of William Jacob Blazkowicz. Through the long generations, the Blazkowicz family has, more or less inadvertently, come to prominently display two traits.

    1) Protagonism.
    2) Romantic awkwardness.

    By the 1960s, Billy Boy could singlehandedly dismantle the Nazi war machine, but needed to have Anya basically pull him aside and explicitly tell him "Hey, I want to fuck right now" to get anything done in the bedroom.

    Centuries down the line, the Doom Marine can rip apart Hell itself. You can figure out the rest.

    Commander Keen is the grandson of BJ Blazkowicz. Doomguy (Sergeant Stan Blazkowicz) is listed as a "distant relative" of BJ, I like to think that he is actually Billy Blaze's (Commander Keen) son or grandson.

    So I only have one more Argent container to pick up, and I killed the Cyberdemon one level ago.

    How much game have I got left for this first playthrough?

    Going by memory, I think the cyberdemon is about halfway through.

    there's a little easter egg when you meet Samuel Hayden in case you didn't immediately try it

    If you don't immediately move forward when you first encounter him, you can still use your gun

    If you try shooting him, he has an energy shield that just absorbs it and he says "don't waste your ammo"

    My father in law got himself an xbone and doom for Christmas so I've been able to spend some time playing this the last couple days. It's a lot of fun. I'm tempted to get an Xbox for me and the family.

    Wow I was pretty taken aback by a bit just now.

    I said in the holiday Steam thread that this game has two characters, Olivia and Samuel, but that's no longer really true.

    It has three.
    VEGA and the Marine together make one whole character.

    VEGA saying "I have many regrets, Dr. Hayden," and then that making the Marine pause, and back up the AI before deleting it

    That's the most strangely... tender? It's almost a tender moment, it made me sit back and think a minute

    I talked to Doom more than any other game in history. I threatened to eat a Mancubus. I wasn't even hungry.
