Doom2016

I’ll say it honestly: I never played DOOM (2016) quite normally, so I tell it from the point of view of how I was allowed to experience this game. Instead of following the story, I turned directly into the Any% speedrun hell – and what can I say, what a horny decision it was! Together with a colleague, we killed time for hours and hours. Sure, you feel a thousand setups, clapping against walls, rescuing runs on the tape and sometimes wondering why you’re doing it. But that’s exactly what speedrunning is all about: When in the end after all the frustration, EVERYTHING finally interlocks, you fly flawlessly through the map, skip limits and the Any% run sits perfectly, it’s just an indescribably wonderful feeling. Pure satisfaction! The whole game, combined with the brutal Mick Gordon soundtrack, is simply an absolute adrenaline rush. If the run succeeds, DOOM really shows what this "hobby" is all about.
