Yes, this is from the 1993 computer game, DOOM! My kids were still in diapers or in kindergarten then. This game was the subject of much controversy reaching outside the gaming world. It was and remains notorious for its high levels of violence, gore and satanic imagery. In this game, the player takes the role of a nameless space-marine who must fight through 3 episodes containing 9 levels each. After destroying the final monster, a hidden doorway which leads back home to Earth, opens for the hero who has 'proven too tough for Hell to contain'!
Would you believe me if I said I was a DOOM hero aka addict? I survived the monsters, the pits of radioactive slime, the ceilings that come down and crush the player and the locked doors! I collected all the arsenal available ~ the chainsaw, shotgun, chaingun, rocket launcher, plasma gun and finally the immensely powerful BFG 9000!
Blame it on Laogong! He bought the game. He played till late into the night. He played into the wee hours of the morning. He played till he felt nauseous and almost puked. I got angry. I told him he was wasting his time and neglecting his health. I asked him what was so great about DOOM. He said all reviews of this game was just fantastic. So I watched him play. He got stuck at one of the levels. I played for him. I was quite good. I started playing. I got better and better. I did what I told Laogong not to do. I did what I had been and am still telling Ben and Jon not to do. Tsk, tsk, I played late into the night (covers face in shame!). I reached the final and toughest level. Then I destroyed the most powerful monster. The door leading to Earth opened...... I COMPLETED THE GAME!
