Smackin' Demons in the new DOOM Trailer!

I've been spending ALL my gaming time re-playing Against the Storm (my favorite modern strategy game) and checking out some of the features in the "Keepers of the Stone" DLC that I purchased in a sale awhile back.  The major highlight of the DLC is the addition of a new race, the frogs.  The frogs have talents that are geared toward stonecutting and rainwater-based activities.  They are heartier than the obnoxiously weak harpies and their one annoying trait is that they will not live in basic shelter and require frog housing (which requires 4 bricks, so not too expensive as race-specific housing goes).  There are also new special map encounters and zone types.  The coastal grove map features a fun strider port where you can periodically send workers out on special expeditions (which require food for both the strider and the workers) to search for blueprints or crates of goods that range in rarity.  There's also the ashen forest which is geared toward mining and offers up a unique building where you can use a special currency that's rewarded for mining a certain amount of ore.  Using these "thundershards," you can combine two variables (and one penalty that slightly increases the perk) to create a new cornerstone ability--it could be something like for every 4 human villagers increase boot production by 2.  Like pretty much everything in the game, variables change and the quality of your crafted perks can be great or very meh.  I'd recommend checking out the DLC if you haven't (*there were some early gripes about the amount of content in the DLC and it was fleshed out quite a bit and I've found it to be worth the price--plus, I got it on sale).

In smokin' hot news, a new trailer for the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages dropped yesterday.  There's plenty of demon smacking and rip/tearing to make every DOOM enthusiast feel a glimmer of demon-slaying lust.  It looks like there are a greater variety of melee tools to increase the amount of hand-to-hand demon punching that you will get to experience.  And, of course, there's even more of the giant robot action that was premiered in the original trailer.  Take a gander at the new trailer:

Unfortunately I will not be playing it because ye olde PC is too long in the tooth to meet the requirements.  I look forward to rip/tearing and punching demons with a fancy shield in the future.
