	Maybe it was flamebait, but I'll respond anyway -

	After about eight months of playing DOOM, I still get a thril when
I crank up that chainsaw on e1m1...  And now with -fast mode...  *evil
grin*
	I like playing with DOOM.  400,000 percent kill ratio?  All three
episodes with only using the rocket launcher?  Beserk?  Chainsaw?  Doing 
speed trials?  
	And maybe I have no life, but it's still fun to go through all 
three episodes in normal play.  (Nothing less than UV, of course.)
