> Tweet2Doom now joins a long and ever-growing list of "Ways To Play Doom." That list includes [4]a pregnancy test , [5]unreleased indie console , [6]cash registers and much, [7]much more .

Pasting in a long, wandering, obviously precomposed screed does not make you look more like a human.

The juvenile mind cannot distinguish between reality and Twitter.

Not sure what you call juvenile, but there seems to be a lot of deluded adults who think stuff on Twitter is true.

Each time the previous POTUS tweeted something (Score:2)
it felt like watching a Duke Nukem gameplay. So the idea isn't exactly new.
I'm sure its technically clever (Score:2)
And people nod and appreciate the clever programming behind it, but who the feck is going to play it for more than 10 seconds after the novelty wears off and you realise playing doom using this method is about exciting as tweeting someone to watch paint drying.
Shows the degree of computer improvement (Score:4, Interesting)
This really shows how much computers have improved over time. When Doom first came out, I had friends who had to upgrade their desktops so they could play Doom on them. Not everyone had 4 megabytes of RAM. Now this level of computing power is so common that we can put it pretty much anywhere. I suppose at some point there will be a headline about how Foone got Doom to run on a single nanobot.
