Absolutely LOVE the fact that classic Doom occasionally forces you to sprint across hazard pits to get critical items. it's a canon fact that sometimes doomguy just goes "well I can't get through this locked door so I guess I'll just run across that pool of lava :)" and then he just skitters across it turned at a 45° angle like some sort of half-crab
#pikspeak#doom#or if u like to think its canon that he gets all items and secrets etc#then sometimes for NO OTHER REASON#than ''there might be something over there!''#hell just sprint across a pool of toxic waste#or a bed of burning coals; or a river of... im assuming thats like boiling blood in some of the hell levels?#whatever the case he really has like 0 self preservation instinct#besides ''kill demon''#uhhhh i also know most of my followers did not come here for doom#so a bit of info for u:#if u run diagonally in classic doom u go faster than if u just go straight forward or sideways#something about the speed multiplier for either direction being added together then applied iirc#but its called straferunning#and the devs were quite aware it was jn the game#bc not only is it good to use for crossing hazards#but there are some secret areas that *require* u to straferun to reach#absolutely hilarious thar doomguy can just run diagonally and go faster#forget about naruto running in this house we straferun to go faster#edit: wait no it was unintentionally in doom#but then it was left in doom ii#and thats where the secrets u have to straferun to reach are
