Yeah, that new Doom cover is about as generic as it could get. I finally realized that if I hadn't played the original Doom games back in the 1990s, I'd have no idea AT ALL what the new Doom was about just by looking at the cover -- I wouldn't even know if it was an FPS, RPG or RTS.

Hahaha, Strong Sad.

I am still regularly amazed that Ben continues to make this entertaining. Every time I hit play on these I assume I'm not going to like it and am instantly entertained.

Come to think of it, things have come full circle.

Doom 1 Cover: Doomguy shooting at demons.

Doom 2 Cover: Doomguy about to shoot at cyberdemon.

Doom 64 Cover: Demon staring outwards.

Doom 3 Cover: Demon staring outwards.

Doom 3: Resurrection Cover: Demon staring outwards.

Doom (2016) Cover: Doomguy staring outwards.

Poor Doomguy, he just wanted to get in on the fun.

Oh my goodness, I hope the new Doom-Guy is a human/jump-jet hybrid.
Wait, he can double-jump, it all makes sense!

To be fair, it's not like they had much to work from. The guy from DOOM pretty much invented that Armored Space Marine archetype.

No that would be Starship Troopers, then Warhammer 40k.

Now that was a good episode! I especially cracked up on the bit about the "O"S looking like saggy tits and... what that a Homestar Runner reference? Did not see that one coming...
