D_BUNNY gave me mild trauma

I gotta say, that was the stupidest god forsaken shit I've ever read in my life. All what was left of my IQ, lost in one minute. Thank you.

The true trauma inducing event was playing Mount Pain for the first time.

I'll never truly recover.

Yes, by recreating it in map format, I was kinda forcing myself to get over it. I also put bunny head decorations in UAC Ultra as well. I think it helped me take ownership of it instead of feeling like a victim.

Aw man, this is such a cool story. I think every hardcore Doom fan has a few of these. I was not traumatized but was definitely shocked when I realized the enemies were demons from Hell. I didn't know because around that time all I had was a bootleg copy of Doom 2 that crashed after the third level. I even wrote a dumbass poem about how Duke Nukem was morally superior to the Doomguy because of this, ironic huh?

I remember when I was 8 or so when my cousin came to my place and we played Doom. We got to the ending and she was terrified of the dead rabbit. I think the reason the dead rabbit more terrifying than piles of dead bodies is because you expect that shit in Doom, you slowly get used to it but seeing something so random, so innocent get viciously mutilated, at the end of the game when everything is supposed to turn out ok is quite a surprise. In my opinion, it mirrors the end text of E1, you're not getting what you're expecting and that could be frightening for a fragile young mind and because it felt so real, it kind of shows you how the real world actually works. That contrary to what your parents tell you, not always everything is going to be ok. That life is weird, absurd and does not give two fucks about your innocence and your preconceived notions of how it's all supposed to be. Once you beat the big badasses and clean out the moon base you're supposed to win, aren't you? aren't you? Where's your fat reward and ticket home? What the hell is this? It's not supposed to end this way! That's why it's so scary to a little kid. The unexpected is always more scary than the expected. 

I don't know how it happened because back then I only had the bootleg copy of Doom 2 and had only briefly played Doom 1. I kept thinking about Doom 1 and how much better I thought it was than 2. I still do. Perhaps it happened later? I was definitely a little tyke though. I have lots of weird, random memories tied around Doom, stuff you wouldn't normally remember. Had lots of dreams related to it too, even Doom 3 Phobos. That's how powerful this game is!

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Considering your special relationship with Daisy, how did you feel about her inclusion in Eternal?

40oz with a time machine:



I wasted my lunch break on this.

^ I did something similar to an abandoned mapset of mine, except daisy was resurrected with a special orb and you could then lure her to crawl under spaces too small for doomguy, to reveal some secrets.

Here is a wholesome painting of Doomguy with his best friend to make y'all feel better. It was immortalized in Eternal.

Thank God someone on this forum isn't a cynical troll!

I didn't see the daisy part in doom eternal because I didn't play it. Will it be worth it if I spoil it and watch a video of it or do I have to play the game to truly experience it?

@doomro I liked Doom 2016 a lot, even when I wasn't totally on board with the violent "ripntear those huge guts" style of the game. It was definitely fun and I did get a rush out of it but when it was over I wasn't left longing for more. So when Doom Eternal looked like more of the same, plus even more power-rage brutality I had to take a pass.

Sleep tight, dear, it was just a bad dream.
