Are you a DOOM fan? Of course, you are. Do you own a Roomba? Of course, you do. Now you can combine two of your favorite things into one new cool thing. DOOMBA is a script written by programmer and designer Rich Whitehouse for his 3D model and animation conversion program Noesis that allows you to create playable Doom maps from the data collected by your Roomba.

Playing DOOM and driving may not be the safest thing to do. But according to software engineer Matt Swarthout a.k.a. Vexal, there is a way to actually play the game on the computer display of a Porsche 911, and using the car’s steering wheel, pedals, horn, and gear shifter to control the game.

If you love pinball, you’ll love this news. Xbox One and PC owners can now get Bethesda’s new Skyrim, Fallout and Doom themed pinball machines. They are available today as DLC for the game Pinball FX 2.

Board games can be pretty cool, and if you want something more modern and fun than say Monopoly, there are plenty of options. For instance, a new DOOM board game is landing later this year. This new game is inspired by the recent video game reboot which has proven so popular.

Clothing brand Dope and hat store Hat Club celebrate the release of the DOOM reboot with this snapback cap, featuring the brand’s name screenprinted in the style of the game’s original logo. You can get the cap from Hat Club for $36 (USD).

This gaming mod is called the Painsaw for obvious reasons. It is made to look like a blood-spattered chainsaw from Doom, but it’s more than just a prop. It actually plays the classic science fiction horror FPS.

I spent many an hour playing Doom back in the day and anyone who did will have memories of the BFG 9000. That was the gun you wanted when things got really bad. YouTuber ZaziNombies has created an approximation of the ridiculously oversized weapon using the greatest and geekiest of all building materials – LEGO.

We already saw a fan-made LEGO Cacodemon in Iain Heath’s Doom diorama, but this MOC by Flickr member Jerac is as gory as the game and really nails the look of the lightning-belching monster. Jerac says he had to resort to “illegal techniques” such as cutting and bending pieces to create the Cacodemon.

I remember when the original Doom came out back in the early ’90s. For its time, the game had awesome graphics and I went to a classmates hose down the street I didn’t even like just to play it.

If you thought the Doom cover art diorama was awesome, check out John Hite’s Icons of Doom. The sculpture, which Doom fans will recognize as the final level in Doom II, is partly made of found objects.

Forget cutesy LEGO games like Indiana Jones, I want LEGO DOOM. I loved DOOM on the PC, even though it scared the crap out of me regularly and made me jump like a child. I think DOOM is one of the most memorable of all the shooters I played back in the day.

I never thought I would see these two games together. A modder named DooMero made this version of Donkey Kong Country for GZDoom. That’s right, it basically turns Doom into a Donkey Kong platform game. Let’s just call it Donkey Doom.

The late Don Ivan Punchatz’s cover art for Doom is as memorable as the game itself. Gaming Heads immortalized the illustration with this badass resin diorama. It’s called Doom: Knee Deep in the Dead, and it comes in two variants.

We’ve seen a guitar used to send emails. Here’s a piano modded into a BFC for the grand daddy of modern first person shooters. Aptly named the Doom Piano, its keys are grouped into different commands, so you don’t really need to know how to play the piano to play Doom with it.

On one hand, many of the fans of the original Doom games are too old to be playing with plushies. On the other hand, some kids might be find these toys too freaky. So really, these are for teenagers who may or may not have played Doom.

All right listen up you primitive screwheads, this is my boomstick t-shirt! It has two short sleeves, a single hole for your head and another for your torso. Jimiyo’s top-of-the-line.You can find this on Yetee for the next 24 hours or on Red Bubble for as long as Jimiyo wants it to be there.
