Re: My Video Game-Related Print Materials |#4 DOOM Stuff

Post by Ack »

I've actually read all five of those DOOM books...

...and yes, the four are entertaining. The first two actually do a fair job of following the games, but stuff just flat out gets weird toward the end of them. Also, the IRS is a private military working for the demons in DOOM II. Seriously.

Could you imagine being in orbit over Earth shooting a Mancubus with two pistols while Lost Souls are merely seconds from shattering your helmet? That'd be the worst.

Because the Doom novels aren't the only great literary works on my shelf...

I loved the first two Diablo books, Legacy of Blood and The Black Road. Great supplementary reading for fans of the series.

This is a great comic too, released shortly before Lord of Destruction.

Just curious, I know you're a Halo Fan, did you read through the Fall of Reach, The Flood, First Strike? I like Nylund's style of writing and learning the backstory of the Spartans. Sorry if I spoiled your next reveal, but I'd love to know what you thought of those novels, even though it seems much of the story nowadays seems to be retconned.
