Teh Story               : Once upon a time, there was this seemingly average
                          Zdoom forum-goer named Destroyer. He was one
                          hell of a cool guy and an awesome Doom player
                          (Especially in Deathmatch mode), yet for some
                          strange reason, most of the people online disliked
                          him for no apparent reason. Was it because
                          Destroyer kicked their asses all the time or
                          because they didn't like the color of his shoes?
                          Actually, it was for another reason, but I'll
                          get to that in a minute. So anyways, Destroyer
                          was feeling kind of down and sad and stuff
                          because of the things the Evil Guys said. Then,
                          one day, something happened that would change
                          his life forever.

Destroyer was lounging around in #truezdoom with
                          his friends Xaser and MasterOFDeath, when Xaser
                          sent Destroyer a wad to playtest (a fairly common
                          occurence). However, when he opened the wad,
                          Zdoom started spitting out all kinds of garbled
                          code and other assorted strangeness. Suddenly,
                          a flash of blue light appeared, and the monitor
                          screen of Destroyer's computer grew brighter and
                          brighter and the blue light started to envelop
                          the whole room. Pretty soon, Destroyer could see
                          nothing except blue. Then, for no reason at all,
                          he experiences total weightlessness for a few
                          seconds, then he blues out (you know, like
                          blacking out, only with blue instead of black).

When he comes to, he sees that he's in a small
                          bare room with two other guys in it. One is
                          wearing a green suit and sunglasses and
                          the other has night vision goggles and a suit
                          that seems to be changing colors rapidly.
                          The first man then speaks: "Hiz0r!"

Knowing that nobody in their right mind would
                          ever say something like that, Destroyer deduced
                          that it had to have been Xaser himself who said
                          that. "Xaser, is that you?" asks Destroyer.
                          "Heh. How'd you guess?" was the response.
                          "Wait, if he's Xaser, then you must be MoD!"
                          Destroyer says to the guy in the rainbow suit.
                          "Hehe, yep. It;s me!" exclaims MoD.

"Okay, now could somebody please tell me where
                          the hell I am now?"

"You're in #truezdoom", says Xaser. "Say what?"
                          responds Destroyer. "That wad I sent you wasn't
                          really me newest weapon replacement. It was a
                          gateway that transported you through time. We're
                          in the future now."

"Huh? Wait, so I'm in the future, and I'm talking
                          in #truezdoom? I don't believe it.", says
                          Destroyer. "Haha, it's like on The Matrix when
                          Neo gets told that nothing's real!", exclaims MoD.
                          Everyone stares blankly at MoD.

"So anyway, can you please telll me what the hell
                          I'm doing here?", asks Destroyer. "Well, It's
                          simple. Benjamin deciphered some ancient texts
                          saying that you were really some super guy who
                          is supposed to save the world, so I built a 
                          time machine so I could bring all 3 of us here,"
                          was Xaser's response.

"Well, okay, I guess." Says Destroyer. "Hey wait,
                          Who's Benjamin?"

"He's one of the characters from Death to Chainsaws.
                          He's the head scientist guy who always creates
                          new weapons and deciphers text and does all that
                          other cool Scientist stuff," replied Xaser.

"Okay, makes sense."

"Man, you should see how D2C is doing! It was a
                          smash hit and won the award of being teh best
                          Doom wad in existance! Hell, they even made a
                          movie out of it! It's even more popular than
                          Spider Man 3 and the Matrix Returns!!!"

"Uh, we're getting a bit off topic here," says
                          MoD. "Heh. Yep, he's still the same old Xaser,"
                          says Destroyer. "Still, I want to know why
                          exactly you think I'm some sort of super guy."

"Well, you know those people who always made
                          fun of you? It turns out that they're really
                          a society of evil geeks that call themselves
                          the Assholes. They stole the plans for my
                          time machine and they traveled to the future
                          and took over the internet! You're the only
                          person powerful enough to stop the Assholes!"

"Uh... did you ever realize that if you hadn't
                          made the time machine in the first place, the
                          Asshole guys wouldn't ever have taken over?"

"No, er... shit."

"Well, no matter. I hate those guys anyway and
                          I would do anything to kill them!", says Destroyer.
                          
                          No response.

"Uh, Xaser?"

Suddenly, Xaser's figure disappears and a bunch of
                          text appears on the wall, which says "Xaser has
                          Quit IRC: Ping Timeout".

"Argh, dialup sucks.", says MoD. "No matter. I'll
                          fire up the teleporter and send you into the evil
                          realm where the Assholes live."

A teleport thingy appears and Destroyer enters.

"Hey, it's just like the beginning of Doom2
                          Map01!!!", says Destroyer. "Actually, it can
                          be any doom level you want. You just have to
                          concentrate really hard," replies MoD.

"Okay." Destroyer closes his eyes, and when he
                          reopens them, he's in Mock2 Map01.

"Whoa, don't get too carried away. Playing
                          Mock2 can yield some pretty strange results."
                          says MoD. "Well, it can't be as bad as Warzone,
                          though. Some of the stealth monsters were
                          nonexistant and stuff. Hey, can I even make
                          this a deathmatch if I want?"

"Hehe, sure! You can do just about any type of
                          Doom game, thanks to it's compatibility setting
                          so be exceedingly high."

"Huh?"

"Oh, never mind. So, have you noticed the new
                          weapons yet?"

"Oh, heh. Damn, these things are pretty damn
                          cool! All these effects using DEHACKED only?"

"Yep. No Dehsupp or DECORATE present. Those just
                          seem to kill the compatibility of the wad.
                          Now go out there and kick some Asshole asses!"

"Okay, thanks, MoD!"

"NP and stuff."

So Destroyer sets off with his really cool arsenal
                          of weapons to "kick those Asshole asses." In fact,
                          He's not just Destroyer anymore. From now on, he
                          will be known as The Great Destroyer.

(I apologize for making absolutely no sense.)

Dedicated to            : Destroyer! Man, you really need to stop being so
                          hard on yourself, You're not a failure at all.
                          In fact, you're one of the coolest dudes I've
                          met! (Note that I mean "cool dude" as in "cool
                          dude", not that "coold00d" guy. (Zdoom forums
                          In-joke (Damnit, you probably all know that
