Yeah, plus:
1) The third episode is called "Inferno", and the last level called "Dis".
For you total cultural heathens out there, these are both Dantean
references.
2) Doom 2: HELL on Earth. Not "Mutants on Earth", not "Monsters on Earth",
not "NRA Advocates on Earth". That's Hell, ladies and germs. H-E-L-L.
3) The bosses of the first episode are called "Barons of HELL". Get it?
Not "Barons of New Jersey" (but ideologically similar. :) ) See above.
I mean, you can interpret Doom ANY way you like. You could think they're
hellspawn and zombies, I could think they're the latest "Operation: Rescue"
get-together. And some other guy could think they're a bunch of twitching,
lemon-sized brain tumors. :) But there's only so far you can stray from the
story outlined in the README that came with the game. Of course, that's
just the way I see it, I could be wrong, and if you feel you absolutely need\
someone to flame (probably do to feelings of inferiority), go right ahead.
