For all DOOM fans out there, MSI Gaming partnered with NVIDIA to go on this insane three-laptop giveaway having the DOOM: The Dark Ages theme attached. And do I have to say how brutal these laptops are-just like the game itself? The giveaway will cease on May 30, so you have a bit of time left to get your name in. But how exactly? Pretty easy: like, share, and comment with your favorite DOOM moment on the initial tweet; then, go to the official entry page to confirm your glancing down opportunity.
Now let me tell you why this is a fantastic occasion. First and foremost, these are not any ordinary laptops; they showcase NVIDIA’s newest RTX 50-series tech. So the competitors must be ready-ville in buttery-smooth frame rates and ray-traced gore to rip and tear demons. Well-drawn enough from DOOM’s metal-as-hell aesthetics; if you win one, your very setup was probably hammered together in those infernal lands counted as Hell.
But nostalgia, that’s another-level here! The comment section of the tweet by MSI is a DOOM accusation of memories: some players knitting their first days of booting the original on MS-DOS, or being halfway scared to death by the lightning-fast shadows and empty corridors of Doom 3. @BigBrisy praised Doom 3 for its graphics that were groundbreaking at the time, and indeed, they were. On the other hand, @LtMcLean went through the heartfelt memory of playing the original DOOM with his dad-a worthy reminder that demon slaying can be a bonding activity for generations.
@Austin_indra0 almost made us break into (happy) tears by relating the sting of finding Daisy the rabbit’s photo in DOOM (2016): apparently, the Doom Slayer has a soft spot for bunnies. Then another user @BearUnlucky_ gave examples of why it’s absurd to have someone run DOOM on an air fryer-who wouldn’t want to play while frying some nuggets?
Some aren’t rolling down easy on the entry process, though. A handful of people like @exPUNISHER decided to report issues with the giveaway site, so hopefully, MSI shuts that down quick. But if you’re haunting the top three, then you’re packing away a rig that is basically a shrine to DOOM’s legacy.
Which brings us to the takeaway: DOOM has been a cultural force since 1993, and this giveaway is a loving tribute to those fans who have been with DOOM since its inception—or perhaps just recently got acquainted with the franchise through the utter chaos of Eternal. Whatever your fondest memory chainsawing demons in half or learning about the series for the first time; you cannot deny the legacy of DOOM. So head out there and get entered; may the odds be ever in your favor (or, y’know, Doom Slayer might just smile upon you).
