The creator of DOOM has finally revealed to world what Doom Guy’s name really is. For eons the gaming community has dubbed the hero of DOOM as simply “Doom Guy,” and now we know what his canon name really is…
Taking to Twitter to reveal the scandalous news, DOOM creator John Romero confirmed to fans that the 100 percent official, 100 percent canonical name of Doom Guy is…*drum roll*…Doom Guy.
Huh. Bet you didn’t see that one coming!
Romero tweeted in response to a fan query: “Doom Guy’s name is Doom Guy.”
I guess we can put that query to bed then!
Speaking of DOOM, the game’s most-recent outing, DOOM Eternal, has been in the headlines once again after one gamer managed to get the game running on their fridge.
The DOOM games have long-since been a meme thanks to how versatile the original title is, with it now having been played on everything from a McDonalds cash register to a digital pregnancy test.
The Verge recently shared an Instagram post from user Richard Mallard showing an impressive use of technology as DOOM Eternal was played on a fridge. Like all great engineers, Richard played off this feat in a fairly laid-back way saying simply: “Forget the memes and jokes. I’m really out here! Get rekt on a Samsung smart fridge kid! Video soon. Lol”.
