I have a huge collection of Doom games and merch - I'm a big id fan and bigger Romero fan.

First thing people should do with an interest of the series is get a copy of Masters of Doom by David Kushner, absolutely brilliant read.

Next, subscribe to some awesome Doomtubers like Zero Master, Civvie11, decino, and Coincident. Zero Master's stuff is generally commentary free but absolutely unbelievable, CV11's stuff is hilarious, decino explains the mechanics very well, and Coincident puts it all together in one facerocketing package.

My only real claim to fame was writing the first FAQ for a Doom expansion, but it's nice to have contributed back to the community.

I bought an Xbox 360 when I found out Doom was being re-released for it - I was already thinking about it when Alan Wake came out, but took a day off work and hooned Doom when it came out on the then-XBLA. I never really bothered with the Xbox One or Series S in the house either... until the Unity port came out. It's a system seller for me.

It's the game I'd take on a desert island with me - partly because the feel of the game is just perfect to me, but you'd never get bored with the endless WADS for them - particularly when you use limit-removing ports.

Outstanding game. 11/10 A+++++ would play again
