Hell, our Mayor is (willingly) on tape doing this dance, and people are saying it makes him cool.

Spoiler: This doesn't actually replace the Doom 3 monsters with characters from the Gagnam Style video and let you shoot them in the face with a shotgun.

I didn't pay attention to the text in the post and was expecting Doom Guy. I always forget Doom 3 exists.
Am I supposed to make a stupid remark about how it can't be Doom 3 because you can see it? I've never played Doom 3, guys! I just know people can't see shit!

jaduncan: "Wow, webGL is getting really good."
Hey, have you seen the Bananabread demo from mozilla? It's pretty nutty: "BananaBread is a 3D first person shooter that runs on the web. It takes the Cube 2: Sauerbraten engine, which is written in C++ and OpenGL, and compiles it using Emscripten into JavaScript and WebGL so that it can run in modern browsers using standards-based web APIs and without the need for plugins."

boo_radley: If you had only pasted the description and not provided a link, I would have assumed you had written a parody of a demo announcement.

No controls beyond LRFB, but hey! NOCLIP! You can wander right through the rocks into the sky.
It would be better if, as you zoomed back, what looked like a blasted rock pit of the damned was actually a Wal*Mart parking lot or something.
