DOOM-media-mania! Comics, radio, video oh my!

Who needs the DOOM movie when you have this classic DOOM video featuring Bill Gates as a black trenchcoat wearing, shotgun toting spokesman for DirectX and Windows95? Choice quote, "Don't interrupt me!" (as he turns his shotgun on an approaching Imp.)

Then there's a "dramatic" radio play reenacting the completely bizzarre DOOM comic whose inception is (probably accurately) described by saying "a couple of guys got together and smoked what was apparently a large amount of crack and then injected pure heroin into their eyes and then proceeded to create what is now known only as 'the Doom comic.'"

So of course someone acted it out, complete with original sound effects, for our enjoyment. Perhaps it's not quite as polished as the Kameo podcast but it has its fair share of classic lines.
Choice quote, "You are huge! That means you have huge guts! Rip and Tear!" (I'm not making that up.)

LOL--That Bill Gates vid could only exist in a pre-Columbine marketing department.

He said the computer is the video game platform of the future.

Just so you know... Bill shoots a Former Marine while he's talking, not an Imp.

anyone else notice that Bill didn't actually pull the trigger on his gun when he shot the zombie? in fact, i don't think his hand was anywhere NEAR the trigger

in the DOOM comic, the marine's berzerker fueled dialoge in the beginning reminded me of "the mad bomber what bombs at midnight" from The Tick (yeah baby! yeah!)
