The Baron Dies.

A little DOOM anyone?
I tend to obsess on remembering where I come from (it is so I can appreciate where I am now.) And where I come from is Doom. Doom was the first and only use I ever had for a computer untill 1999. While the rest of the family wrote letters, edited pictures, and surfed the net-I played Doom. (My first day at college, when asked what computer experience I had, I replied "I can play Doom.")
The illustrations here are my thanks to my computer past (and present and future-I still play Doom!)
The above photo shows one of the happy moments that occur while playing Doom. The Baron of Hell thinks your toast, you pull out your Plasma Gun (or BFG 9000) and blast him across the Doomscape. Other challenges look on and are ready to test your skill-but for a moment, you are King of all you survey.
And yes, for the curious-Doom Guy's picture on the status bar has been replaced with my own charming self. (Happy now?)

If anyone wants to be really nice to me, finding and sending me a copy of Final Doom (for the PC) would really get you into my heart.

Doomin' Around

Cacodemons were always my favorite Doom monster (from an observers viewpoint). They didn't fly like the wind or act excited. Just floating around untill something got in their way and purple electric death would come spewing out of their mouths (unlike Barons of Hell or The Arch-Vile -a beasty so much a pain in my ........I just won't do a rendition of it. I hate it that bad!). They also sounded like a beach ball with a bad air leak.
Still, I liked them.
And yes, for those who know me, the Doom guy bears a resembalence to yours truly....on purpose. Yes, my first attempt at a self-portrait (I know, I know, I am 200 pounds lighter in this pic! Creative License! I claim Creative License!)
When I decided to do this, I wanted more than just myself at the computer playing Doom-so I put myself into the game facing a "Kirby-styled" Cacodemon. (at least that's what my friends tell me.) Others have compared the style to "Chaos Comics" (especially the smile button on the armor thing. Evil Ernie wears one.)
Sorry guys, I was wearning the Smiley long before Ernie wore it. A man (?) named Randall Flagg gave me the idea in 1982.

What do you mean "Who is Randall Flagg?" Haven't you read The Stand?... No?... Get off my site!

"Hey buddy, got a level needing haunting?

Yep, it's true. With the advent of Quake (they are up to Quake 3 now) it was inevitable. Final Doom was the last produced by Id and the proposed 'Doom 3' was shelved. No disrespect to Quake (there is a lot to be done in Quake you could not dream of in Doom) but it just isn't the same.
The above toon was penciled out during a train ride after I read the "No more Doom" news. Something about a Cacodemon having to fill out forms is very funny to me. (I Am All powerful! Nothing I cannot do! Oh really? Write your name!) Take heart, guys. We all have been there. (at least the Lost Soul can double for Ghost Rider's head if they ever do a movie of it.)

The Ultimate Doom

This was a notion I never saw before.

I recently heard the term "bot" in reference to Deathmatches. "What's a bot?" I asked my learned Doom-freinds. It is (supposedly) an automated assasin set into a death-match to raise hell on the other players. "There are Quake-bots and could possibly be Doom-bots." they told me.

Doom-bots? Didn't Doctor Doom built those things in The Fantastic Four comics? I had done the picture (or a variant) before, but now it takes on a Doomish tone (Doom game, not Dr Doom comic) with the idea of "bots" now in the mix. The picture sums up the end result of any Death-match situation (in my opinion) if any Doomer's opponent was the good Doctor.

BFG's. (You show me yours, and. . . )

The concept of the BFG 9000 would pale in comparison to the arsenal "The Main Man" has been known to tote around in his comic. I am hoping some cross fan of DC comics and Doom could create a "Lobo-bot" for one of the games.

Twould almost be unfair. Hey, let's put the Lobo-bot in with the Doom-bot. Now there would be a death-match worth watching! The outcome (as envisioned by myself) of a confrintation for anyone who would run into the path of "The Bo" in the halls of Doom.

Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, god knows how many home spun player versions, and the tools to make them are still out there in cyber-space. Check the links below for a starting point if you are interested.
Id Software: The daddys of the Doom series. They have appeared to have abandoned their brainchild in favor of the Quake series these days. Also check out Hexen and Heritic (variants of the Doom theme as well - also by Id.)
Doom World: The faithful congergate somewhere, and this is it. Good start point to search for files and goodies to go with Doom.
Quake World: Doom's little brother (but out growing the original very rapidly!) Check em out for Quake info and other Doom links.
NOTE: On any of the current Doom sites, a lot of (but not all) links lead to dead ends. Be paitent and search (if you are into this sort of thing) and you will find the stuff.

That wraps it up for the Doom Page. Please send your comments via the mail page and perhaps this idea can grow. Yes, a Quake page, Sonic page, a Ka-Boom page, (yes, Ka-Boom! Any Atari vetrans out there?)whatever. But, if no one is watching-why broadcast more?

Cacodemons rule! Pain Elementals drool!
