Okay, this is a rather funny/unique mod to be writing about, especially after the announcement that a “selfie stick” was added to id Software’s classic Doom title.  This is basically the game of Doom being played in the game of Doom and it is also possibly answering the Grandfather paradox once and for all.

TheZombieKiller has released a Youtube video of Doom within Doom and it is quite interesting see in action.  As evidenced by Wired.co.uk there is no real reason that you would want to do this other than geek factors or just for shits and giggles.  It could possibly be a cool trick to pick up girls, or guys (depending on your gender and your sexual desires).  Here is a tip folks, if you can go through all of the steps to get to this point in the game and they are still sitting there as you do it, put the laptop down, they are already interested in you for some other reason.

This mod is made possible thanks to GZDoom, a port of the source code of Doom to a more powerful engine, and apparently a moddable arcade machine in the game.  That opens up some interesting ideas.  That arcade machine, could it be made to run other games?  Could we see a port of Super Mario Bros, Altered Beast or other arcade titles to run on it and thusly, within Doom?  What else is capable of being modded into this classic game?  Quake was known for its modding capabilities with a kart racing game, flight simulator and more being modded out of the original- but nothing like this where the original title is made to play another game, let alone the very game you are playing already.

Let us know if this is the stuff you want to see more of by sharing, liking, commenting, tweeting etc this article.  We pay attention to the metrics and work to bring more of that content to our readers.
