    John Carmack once wrote about Doom, "Story in a game is like story in
    a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but its not that important".
    So it amuses me to no end that, with the advent of "Doom: Dark Ages" >Doom-lore has grown so extensive levels that it literally takes three
    hours to describe it all.

    The DOOM Timeline | COMPLETE DOOM Story & Lore
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5OdQYASIPQ&t
    (length: three hours, thirteen minutes and 59 seconds)
    Now updated now to include "Doom: The Dark Age" lore! ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp7hOqcIT84

    (actually, this one is made by some other person, and it's only two
    hours long compared to the original's three.)

    But if you need to get caught up on Doom Lore --and you really don't--
    the video above is a useful resource.

    Heh. I haven't played any of the newer DOOM games after 3 (still have my retail box!).
