  • You started by asking the definition of boomer shooter, which I responded to. Then you added the fact Doom 3 came out in 2005. Since your context was, “what’s the definition of a boomer shooter.” I responded to that.

    Maybe next time frame your question better to get the information you’re looking for?


  • A game is called a boomer shooter based on several criteria. Usually they’re first person. Does that mean a third person shooter can’t be a “boomer shooter”? No.

    Quake III is just one game that boomer shooters are based on. Doom (1993) is a game that boomer shooters are based on too. Neither one is a boomer shooter itself. A Boomer Shooter is a modern creation meant to replicate past play style, video style, and audio style too… It’s more than just “pixelated/voxelated…”

    Your last sentence is the punchline of the joke I told… You can tell it’s comedy because the first sentence has an exaggeration so extreme it’s absurd (unless you REALLY think you can run Doom on an abacus). The second sentence references a meme used as comedy (but will it run Crysis). Then I set up the joke by showing how extreme the absurdity goes. How absurd you ask? Why, it’ll play Crysis, but not Doom…

    Ha ha… funny…

    I will never tell a joke on sh.itjust works again.

    The shit just don’t work.

    Wrong.

    My first sentence includes a joke. “…Doom running on an abacus.” My second sentence includes a meme used as a joke, “…but does it run Crysis?” I have set the stage for what I wrote to be interpreted as humor, a joke, funny.

    I then provide a comparison, it’ll run Crysis but not Doom (1993)… looks here’s the evidence.

    Ha ha… funny.

    Now, this conversation is over, you’r wrong, and you have proven you’re an ass.
