The good folks at Bethesda and Xbox have thrown what can be christened as the mother of all gifts to the DOOM believers: we are talking about that truly mouth-watering offer wherein you have a chance to rip and tear all the way through your social media notifications.
The prize: a limited-edition console DOOM: The Dark Ages Xbox Wireless Controller, which looks dope, to be honest. According to the official DOOM tweet, all you have to do is follow the account and retweet the post for a shot at winning this killer prize. There are no wack forms or bizarre hoops; just good old-fashioned luck and vibes.
As for the controller? It is definitely sweet. Decked out in some dark metalish finish with that signature hellish vibe sealed with its DOOM accent, this is what you want to call a controller that feels like carrying an actual piece of Slayer hardware.
There is a link in the tweet to the official rules (that’s legal for you) but, honestly, I think everyone is just smashing that repost button without a care for any of that.
But here’s something weird: there are literally cero replies on the tweet itself! Like, none. Nada. Zip. One would expect a contest like this to have fans scattering in all directions in the comments, but there is just… silence. Maybe they all went to repost?
Or maybe that’s how the DOOM fandom dips-they act and never talk. Another eerie feeling is setting in: like walking into an empty room just after a demon invasion event has occurred.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is that prequel that will unveil events before the Slayer became the unstoppable entity that we know today. If that prequel has made you curious already, this super sweet controller-an all rough, ruthless soldier ready for battle-sounds like a great giveaway tie-in.
Now, if you like free stuff (who doesn’t?), you probably wanna go tweet about the killer controller. Don’t expect a whole lot more than that, though, ’cause conversations are, like, apparently not in the DOOM community’s repertoire-start sneaky like a Slayer on a demon.
And, hey, if you win, you can always toss a frag grenade in the comment section in celebration… or not. Your call, marine.
