It is 2026, Civvie. Where is Resurrection of Evil?

Oh, they didn't reject Reznor's sound effects. Instead of paying him to come in and score at the end, they had him on retainer to do all the sound work, but they didn't realize it was going to take four years to make the game, so it got to where they couldn't afford him anymore.

Never make a shotgun terrible in a horror game, make it good so that you can cause tension by making ammo scarce.

There’s a lot of good voice actors in this. Doomguy for instance is voiced by Gordon Freeman

“The Devil is real. I know... I built his cage.” Is a really well delivered line tho.

DOOM 3's Plasma rifle reload has the most satisfying gun sound ever made, hands down.

Seriously the Main Theme in this game KICKS ASS. No wonder ID put it as a collectible in Eternal.

John Carmack forgot hyperdimensional reality adjuster in his thank you credits. "Programmer, Co-Owner." So humble.

Civvie, the trick to the Tentacle Commandos is to plain duck down (while moving forward), they'll lash above your head. Then you can put either the shotgun or the chainsaw up their taint.

To be fair, I think the "water on the ceiling" bit was their attempt to make a sort of a reflection effect on the ceiling from the water below...

"It's like whack-a-mole, but sometimes your mallet is a rubber chicken." -Best description for a shotgun ever
"Oh shit, that was the John Goodman car game!" -Best review of Rage ever

"Only one man stands between hell and earth..."

comes off the elevator looking like he has to clench his butt cheeks together so he can make it to the bathroom before he shits his pants

How did ID see that and think... "yeah, this looks badass!" If anything it feels more like something you'd see in a spoof or satire.

Fun Trivia: Doctor Betruger's name is absurdly on the nose. It's just the German word for Betrayer.

17:39 "Do we really need so much firepower laying around?"

Nods vigorously

You mentioned the chainsaws being on mars being explained, that isn't the most fun lore tid-bit buried in the logs. The best one has to be Mixom / Moxim.

Long story short, id had made an industrial brand name Mixom for DOOM 3 and a lot of the equipment carry their markings. However, some times the mappers had to flip the textures in order for them to fit - and all of the sudden Mixom becomes Moxim. Lazy devs wouldn't care - better devs would create extra textures for the occasion. Mad lads of id? They wrote it into the lore.

See, despite Mars base requesting the high-quality industrial Mixom parts and equipment, the cheap-skates of UAC sent them low-quality ones from a knock-off brand Moxim. You wonder why the lighting is borked, half the doors don't work and in general the base feels like a death-trap  even without the demons? It's because those darn Moxim parts keep failing.

That's hilarious. The idea of someone being so passive that they'd communicate with someone reading what they write by writing, instead of just turning to them and being like
"dude, can you please stop?"

I'm amazed of how much of Doom 3's iconography made it into Doom 2016.

before my family had internet I had the DOOM 3 trailer downloaded from somehwere on my PC and would just watch it over and over... I can't believe how old this game is for how it looks

"Cyberdemon upskirt" is the last thing I expected to be mentioned in here.

5:52 i thought this was an edit, but no, he really does type this out! This game is so goddamn cool
