According to John Carmack Doomguy is canonically a virgin and I am also guessing gay based on the way he dresses
He's not just a virgin, Carmack said he doesn't know what sex is and has never heard of it before
Isn't he also supposed to have a micro penis?
Carmack?
No, Doomguy.
You can like the BFG and also cute animals and nature.
The loss of Daisy was what truly damned the forces of Hell. Sure, he still would have kicked some demon ass, but they went and made it personal.
That takes guts. Huge guts. Too bad he likes to rip and tear.
I'm pretty sure doomguy is a floating shotgun strafing through doom wads
Book club but for the DOOM novels please, I've read those things at least fifteen times.
The ones where the Mormons and the IRS fight against the alien invasion?
They land in salt lake city for the hell on earth portion, and the Mormons are mega survivalists who have basically one of the last real bases against the invasion.
I do remember them mentioning that positions in the IRS and other government agencies allowed the Mormons the ability to stockpile the stuff they needed to do so, but the actual IRS and american government turns collaborationist with the alien invaders at the first opportunity.

Its actually got a lot of really interesting ideas in it. The last two novels (there are four) essentially jump into completely unrelated to the game territory, but the characters you've been following are so good and the ideas so crazy it works.
As for the Mormons, they aren't treated as heroes, just that their survival prep and accumulated arms make them able to hold out. Corporal Taggart (doomguy) is a lapsed catholic (when he prays he in incapable of coming up with an image of god and ends up visualising the faces of the horrible abusive nuns from his catholic school) and Arlene Sanders had a brother who went Mormon and became a sexist jerk, so they are both pretty wary. The one Mormon who ends up coming with them is a good guy but also is having crisis of faith. The Mormons are pretty mad about Arlene being a combat soldier who is a woman too. They don't stay very long because they have to go kill more aliens of course.
Resisting the urge to nerd out on the cosmology established in the third and forth book lmao
