A lot of them. Alright so I guess it's just three. Thought I remembered there being a lot more. A buddy of mine used to be real into them. I tried to read one once and eh...it's not good.

"It's not good" is being too polite, the books were like using the portashitters at a music festival in the midwest, first time is what you expect and easy enough to deal with, by the end of the fourth it's an impossible to understand pile of poo poo that defies reason and physics and you regret turning down the LSD because maybe you'd understand it then, and you're wiping your rear end with the Book of Mormon, not the pages, you ran out of those already and you're making due with the cover.

In Quake 3 Arena, there is a default character named Sarge, who is grayhaired and has a cigar. That is the Doom guy, they decided on the name after the fact and made him old because by the time Q3A came out, Doom was old so the character should be aged too. Then in the Uwe Boll film Doom, the main character is named Sarge further confirming this. It is actually quite deep complex character lore you see.

i never picked Doom Guy in Q3A because his grunting noises when he jumped were annoying af. i always preferred the skeleton with the funny bone jingling noises

this doesn’t add up; i’m only shooting enemies in doom because they’re trying to kill me. if i didn’t like them because they were dicks but otherwise harmless i’d just go about looking for keys and apologizing for getting spooked when i open a door and one of them is roaring in my face

What they need is a DOOM mod where everyone sits down and calmly discuses their issues and all are able to arrive at a civil and well though out compromise. Maybe that demon was just having a bad day, and if you brought him some coffee and a bagel he'd stop being mad and thank you and he'd totally stick up for you at the next quarterly budget meeting.

When Columbine happened I didn't know you could make custom levels and I remember wondering what hosed up kind of school Klebold and Harris went to that they could train to shoot it up on E1M1 or whatever.

Pretty sure they actually made a doom map of their school, which coincidentally I also did in like 3rd grade of my elementary school, and I put a crushing ceiling in the cafeteria and put a mancubus in it that was supposed to be the lunch lady then me and my friends were like AWWWW take that!! then columbine happened followed by years of deep introspection

That's always been my gut feeling too. Lots of people made map mods of their school in various other games, mostly because they knew the layout by heart and it was easy to do. There was a kid who got in trouble back in 2004 for making a CS map of his HS also in Colorado.

I did the same thing a couple of years later once I knew what was up. I'm pretty sure anyone whose school years overlapped with Doom did.

School layouts leant themselves really well to Doom's play-style, lots of long corridors and small rooms for plinking mixed with big open areas like cafeterias where you could put the big bads. Mine had a Spider Mastermind in the gym.

Well OP you've been misinformed, the concern was more about video game makers preying on children without oversight and in a way that actively avoided parental oversight since shareware could be downloaded for free anywhere. It's just that gamers are gigantic children who see any criticism as a personal attack so they deliberately mischaracterized it, a tactic they continue to this very day whenever they clutch pearls about how not having white male protagonists in every game is censorship.

Lol yeah nobody has ever said that they directly inspire violence, not once. It's not like that was the entire message of the right wing lunatics of the 90's. There were multiple concerns, but let's pretend it was just one and then call people "gigantic children" like some stuffy nancy reagan.

And the original beef was over like night trap and mortal kombat, which did not have sharewarez

All that right wing concern trolling over video games the first time around was actually pretty great advertising. The GTA games must’ve gotten a pretty big sales boost out of it, at least.

Pretty sure playing those games puts you on a pedo watchlist of some kind, regardless, so I'd say that's close enough.

No, that can’t be right. Steam wouldn’t sell thousands of anime dating sims if the content catered to pedophiles. You must be mistaken!

i didn't pick up, it was jack thompson and i had no desire to get yelled at by a psycho at 7 in the morning

it was fifteen years ago when he was doing his biggest tirades and calling everyone he thought was vaguely involved with the murder simulator industry, posting his phone number with every single post he made on a forum arguing with people - which he did a lot of, because he was insane. his phone number had 666 in it which made it easy to recognize and also was pretty fitting.
