I found out they used the old dying yell from Doom pretty quick.  in the 
first 10 seconds :)  Heh!   The intro fmv was pretty cool.  "Yeah I'll get 
another 'volunteer'..."   Then you see the first level.  Instant flashback 
:)  Oh cool, exploding barrels and blue health vials!  Can't wait to play 
the rest of the episode :)
