Nice. We uploaded a mind into a computer and the first thing we did was put it in a simulation of Hell and teach it how to shoot things.

wonder what would happen if doom took that into the plot... doomguy discovers, hell is not real, it's just a simulation of hell. and he's just been a fly forced to play.

I think the Minecraft modders got there first. That would push doom to 3rd at least.
