If Aliens came to a Future Earth, what CUSTOM Doom wad should be the only evidence Humans existed?

What even is a Terry wad lol?

You ever start playing a cool looking wad and then suddenly you're in a room full of pictures of a strange looking man who is threatening to sodomize you while a high pitched noise is sodomizing your earholes over and over again as an invincible enemy runs around yelling profanities at you?

 

The important thing is that Terry wants to sodomize you, and there's a lot of potential here for jokes about Uranus.

what if one wad's just not enough for them?
"mission to earth: you must uncover the lost d!zone golds. an incredible value! this material is made of a once precious sludge to those humans, with a tendency to melt. the legend says that they put too much of their trust into the power of that sludge. start at their treasure burial sites, you can tell where these are from the large mounds and smell they give off."

and then the aliens spend 2 years going through the landfills, in search of the d!zone gold, only to find warped, molten discs, and data foil layers peeling away.

only some 20 years later would they be able to find a pristine copy of any d!zone, tucked away in some midwestern basement, mystically unaffected by the elements and surrounding decay. and the aliens would enjoy every moment with it.

let's assume they know nothing about the former information superhighway, and learn nothing about the world wide web in those 20 years spent just hyperfocused on searching for just one working copy of d!zone gold amidst the former human civilizations

Gotta saddle the aliens with the worst before introducing them to the best. Extensive exposure to STARTAN2 and D_RUNNIN before laying a quality wad on 'em.
Trial by fire and all that. Builds character.

That's the most hilariously apt way I've ever seen anyone describe a Terry wad. Absolute fever dream.

I've been on worse dates.

 

Also I love this thread, which also happens to have the longest title ever recorded here on the Doomworld forums.

I'm sad nobody mentioned Area 51. This is how the real raid on that place really went down, don't believe what Internet Historian told you.

I'm ashamed, my love of dwango once again clouded my judgement.

Don't feel bad Doomkid. You are not the only one to make poor life choices based on a secret love of Dwango.

 

We still believe in you. :)

Lord help us if they find out what a terrywad is...

 

 

Jokes aside, I'd reckon slaughterfest 2012 or vanguard.

Community Chest 1, as a reminder that humanity was a very messy species.

 

Also, I took about 2 minutes trying to decipher the thread title lmao

 

Sorry if the thread title was a bit confusing lol. Didn't intend it that way.
Still, Community Chest is a amusing choice.

Terry WADs, i wonder how an alien archeologist would react to a variety of wads which are considered retarded and annoying for most people, and how they will archive it. Maybe they will enjoy the concept and start a new trend in their entertainment industry and art back on their masive multispecies space empire.

I think it would be interesting to see how a non-advanced alien species would react to sometihng like that and how they could implement that into their culture. Sure, they found a way to play Doom, but for all we know, they could be Aliens form outerspace with tech WAY more advanced the ours and have that multi-species empire, or the are "Aliens", as in a new sapient species or species that's native to Earth who's technological level is on par with the Bronze Age with no way to replicate or understand Doom properly.

This concept is just too interesting to me.

Thanks for the explanation lol, I'll take notes. Also would they even call Uranus "Uranus"?

That's an interesting way to look at it. With Doom being the only evidence humans would exist besides unrecognizable stone structures and some plastic micro-particles, Alien Archeologists would find it incredibly valuable. Depending on how advance the "Aliens" are, they could view Doom as a magical item human or atleast North American cultures worshiped or a very intriguing funny trinket of an interesting privative species.
Shout out to the ruins of the midwestern baseman, whatever nerd saved the Doom wads deserves, I salute you.

They'd probably think that it was meant as a historical record and the various demons and weapons in the game had actually existed.

[Kyka]

It's all fine to have a discussion about which wads hypothetical alien overlords might like to play.

 

 

... but a far more pressing question is did the aliens obtain hypothetical copies of the iwads legitimately in order to play the very wads we are discussing?

 

 

I think I've made my point.

I get what you mean, and it would be quite interesting to see the reaction of another sapient species on a bronze age level of complexity, because it would be sorta like those YouTube videos about tribal people reacting to modern stuff like VR and such. Besides primitive aliens are more relatable and easy to understand than a super advanced space empire with their many incomprehensible cultures and customs.

 

Uplifted animals brought to a human level of intelligence would also be good candidates for "aliens" reacting to Doom and PWADs.

With Humanity long gone in this hypothetical, I'd say whether a copy of Doom 2 is legitimate or not doesn't even matter lol. Unless the Johns survive or smth.

I've always imagined that the super-advanced type of "Aliens" are actually VERY far-future descendants of Humans who escaped the planet during an apocalyptical event. They are so different from us however they don't even recognize this was their home planet.

Still, the "Uplifted" animals with human-like intellect is more interesting to me. Apes, Corvid, Elephants, Cephalopods, or something entirely different rises. Their Bronze Age level of technongly makes it more interesting to react to the technongly of "Ancient Aliens" if you will.

Besides, seeing a Neo Bronze-Age Schooler trying to get a Computer with our Doom wads on it to work would be the funniest thing ever.

Well then if these aliens are smart enough to resurrect the hardware/software to run doom wads, then with a little extra work they can recreate Steam, and recreate a credit card and damn well pay for it like the rest of us. :D
