I like to imagine when doom guy picks up health he absorbs all the blood he lost back into his body like a sponge.

My favorite face is when your health is critical and you pick up a weapon. The smiling bleeding face of doomguy makes him look sadistic. Even though he's been through hell (literally) he wants nothing more than to kill as many more demons as he can before he dies.

So is nobody gonna talk about how every medikit in DOOM also contains hair wax and a comb?

Doomguys journey is really about finding a snickers bar. He only looks that way because he's hungry

as a kid I always thought that shock face was meant to display when you just saved yourself by healing up at the last second after taking a lot of damage. I'd always notice it would happen if I almost died and then type iddqd really fast he would show the shock face

4:20 I like how it's called "getting hurt because of your own damn stupidity"

*I forgot how disturbing Doomguy gibbed face really is*

5:17 absolutely unplayable. I'm never playing Doom again.

i like how's he's just called "doom guy"

I like the little oversight where, after reloading a save, he always displays an evil grin the first time you pick up any weapon. It's like he's so stoked to be back to killing after a break that picking up anything to help him do it makes him happy!

Did anyone else start imitating Doomguy's faces when you were kids?

3:39 sorry ladies, he's taken

"Where would doomguy be without his face?" He'd be Doom 64 Guy, hurr hurr.

The amount of times that the face has actually saved my life in doom is insane, it's not just a neat gimmick in the HUD, it's a tool to use to your advantage. I don't even play mods if they don't have the Doomguy face. Class vid

spoilers: the blood isnt doom guy's own blood, its actually the blood of the demons he killed

I experienced a moment way back when I was a kid where I had died and flew backwards -- I picked up a healthpack or weapon and the Doomguy smiled after dying... I flew out of my seat and didn't play the game until I was an adult haha I was traumatized by that.

When I was a kid and noticed the Ouch Face bug, I always interpreted it as Doomguy reacting to a shock to his system, getting a large health boost just after taking big damage and being generally overwhelmed by the opposing sensations in a matter of seconds. I thought it was very creative. Then of course later I learned they just fucked it up.

It's cool that his hair gets messy when he takes damage and it also gets better when healed so this means all health pick ups come with a free hairstyling kit

Doom guy: Smilling with less than 19% of health. Me: Is that even smilling? There's no visible teeth there! Only blood!

4:04 never noticed that the face looks in the direction they were damaged from. Often I am frantically readjusting and looking at the environment rather than glancing at the face. Neat to know though.

Yellow background video is my kind of Christmas gift

Doomguy's facial expressions scared me as a kid, but eventually i realized that everything in Doom had certain behavior, there was almost nothing of info about on my language (spanish). When i discovered your channel was like a thing i didn't knew that i needed in my life, you're like that cool, young science teacher Merry Christmas, Decino Just don't put cacodemon spheres on the christmas three 💚♥️

I sometimes find it really unsettling during those moments where a critically-wounded Doomguy picks up a new weapon and grins through the pain, showing teeth stained with blood. It's a little paradoxical, but I think id software created a blank slate that any player could inhabit while also imbuing that player-character with a surprising amount of personality.

The OFFiCIAL Decino hand reveal: 3:39

The animation for Doomguy's face exploding... it... it doesn't feel right...

0:13 You missed an opportunity to say “go ‘Deep Into the Code.’”

I find the fact people can look back and see those simple errors (like the ouch face one) and how they go wrong, in a truly classic great game truly delightful. It's a reminder that a tiny mistake can have consequences you might not even notice, but they are there.

2:17 "getting hurt because of your own damn stupidity" Damn, that's harsh.

3:39 I'd love to see a Doom webcomic drawn in this style

Doom guy has more personality than me

I've always liked the evil grin of the DOOM guy! Merry Christmas bro!

5:58 Jesus Christ! that's BRUTAL! I LOVE IT!!!

It's always nice to get an education on things previously taken for granted. And I'd never seen that exploding head graphic before. Quality content.

Wow, what a nice Christmas gift!

Damn nice mousepad at 3:39. But yeah, DoomGuy face expressions is one of the many things that made DooM so great, iconic and memorable. Having a speechless character where his emotions are only showned through his face is a awesome idea, it makes connection between the player and the character, it build a personality without dialogue and could be even used as a health bar. Great video and merry christmas Dec !

Hi decino, could you do this kind of video on Doom platforming? What is the biggest gap you can walk over, what is the biggest step you can make upwards, how deep can you fall and still get back on the next platform, how does the walking on a thin wall work, etc.? Let me know if you need more questions about this. :-)

U need to respect all the little love they put in the game.. old games always a special place in my heart

Having a clear feedback of what your own character is doing or going through in the form of the status face makes it all the more relatable and makes the monsters and the environment more scary... in the latest versions Doom Guy is made to feel or look like too indestructible or superhuman which for me takes off a lot of the horror element that the original doom had.

How much of a Doom nerd are you? Decino : yes

Damn... That exploding head animation was something I never needed to see in my life. What was the creative process behind deciding to specifically include that for the console port?

6:03 unplayable you have to have blood

3:45 20 - 100 = -20 … quick maffs 😛

3:52 I remember discovering this for myself, even exactly where, as a kid... I was dicking around with cheats when I just decided to make myself very hurt, using the rocket launcher against the corner in e2m1 after the pinkie elevator, I accidentally pushed myself to pick up the healthkit, and then found out I could make that face under those circumstances :D

0:48 I don’t know why I found that so funny.

2:48 when your girlfriend is alone in home

Nothing beats a educational video from decino.

It always amazes me that programmers like Carmack, that can write these amazing (sort-of-)3d-engines, could make such basic comparison-error in the source code. The programmer in me yells out "always use Math.abs()!". 😉 Awesome video as always!

I've come to the conclusion that playing around in the Doom source code is the best way to learn coding :)

The Jaguar version of Doom also used a whole set of gib animations just like the PS1 version, except this one had some differences and was a left over from the GBA port (According to The Cutting Room Floor).

I love educational decino videos.

Decino: *uses Drilling by night*. Me: *headbanging to the tunes, missing every word*. Also me: *watching the video a second time, trying to understand the topic*. Decino: *sees this as an absolute win*. Great videos man, keep up the good work!

Merry christmas eve Despacino! And also to all the other people in the comment section!

Just when you thought you knew everything about a game from 1993 , decino makes a video

Speaking of PSX port, there's another difference. It displays Ouch face when recieving high damage from behind.

Love the thumbnail! That's my expression when my boi Decino drops the yellow theme videos!

I was 13 years old when this game came out, i'm still fascinated of his facial expressions nowadays.

The exploding head is disturbing as hell (no pun intended,) not gonna lie.

When I played Doom as a kid, I didn't know about how much health I had remaining, I always used the status bar face to know if I was almost dead or not. I would start to panic when I saw the Doomguy's face once your health gets under 40%.

where is status pog face

5:59 This unique exploding head animation was also used in complex doom with its conditions for triggering being pretty much the same. The animation was altered a bit though

Do this for quake one day please

I just love the facial expressions for the health. A small beating results in a bloody nose, eventually becoming a potentially broken nose. A small cut along the head becomes a large gaping gash across the head. A cut lip becomes a split open lip. They need to add this in more games

I like the little “art-by-accident” at 2:50 - creates some kind of genius slight variation in how he gives an expression, which is how expressions work-not always exactly on a rote formula.

Lol @ 5:08, the comment: "confusing, ain't it?". Classic.

First of all - Merry Christmas :) ``damaged, grabs gun, grabs megasphere but still bloody`` - it takes time to wipe the blood of his face... and he got distracted for a second with a new shiny gun. :) BTWs... 1. Ahoy made a nice vid on the history of the idea on graphical presentation of hero status - "Chicken-o-meter." 2. The missing "ouch" got revenge with the mod of the same name (Ouch_m) :D

Very interesting and informative. Straight to the point and no filler! Love it! Another plus is the fact that the uploader is active and responsive in the comments. You just picked up another subscriber!

What I love about Doomguy's face is they didn't mirror his face when he is turning his head.

"OUCH well, for ouchies."

The screwed up ouchface code my be the best mistake in DooM. It's so comical and the painface is so much better that it keeps the feel. I think ouchface would have become a massive joke if it worked as intended from day 1.

Whenever doomguy is within the threshold of 79% to 60% with the one blood drip from the nose, whenever he glances he looks like Jean Claude Van Damme to me.

Complex Doom for the Zandronum had also a wide variety of status bar faces including new expressions especially when you're on God Mode as well. And it seems to have slightly fixed the 'disappeared' gibbed status face.

You're doing a great amazing job with all these technical videos! I'm so glad I've found your channel. Thanks!

a miracle doom hasn’t released these as a sticker pack on the apple app store

I’ve never played any Doom games nor do I understand computer science beyond a surface level of comprehension. However, this video was very entertaining and informative. So glad I got recommended this video!

This made me remember another thing from the old manual... it was explaining the faces Doomguy makes, and says that "as you take damage, more and more blood will run down your face until your mug looks like uncooked hamburger."

I always wondered why on the old version of Doom that I grew up with, I never saw the "ouch" face. I saw it later on other people's versions and it freaked me out because I had never seen that face. I also don't remember my old version telling me when I had found a secret with an on-screen message.

Merry Christmas Decino. I wish you a happier face :D P.S. In Complex Doom you can have evil God grin if you pickup a new weapon while invincible. The mod has exploding face as well. Also in HDoom, there won't be blood on your face no matter how low your health is.

To be honest, before I found out with zDoom that the ouch face was bugged, it made perfect sense to me. It was a face of surprise when you were so happy that you had picked something really good and suddenly you took a big hit. Knowing that it was supposed to trigger whenever you took 20+ damage kinda killed it for me.

Amazing how much effort is put into those videos! Thanks a lot!

How can you not smile when you pick up a new weapon and see Doomguy's evil grin at the bottom of the screen? It gets me every time lmao

Merry Christmas, decino! Here is an idea for the next analysis video: tricks and moves used by speedrunners like grabbing a key through the wall (e4m1, map12) or walking though bars (map02). I've always wondered how they do and how it works. Edit: also about strafe running, wall running

0:06 when you accidentally delete your save file on "getting over it".

You know this Christmas will be a good one if we got a decino's video for present

it's a good day when decino uploads :) really love the design of these videos, so easy to watch even when the content is pretty complicated, and your voice is so soothing, too

Thumbnail looks like the Pain Scale at the doctors office

I always get excited when I see a yellow thumbnail.

I love learning more and more about DOOM, still after all those years! Thanks man, I love digging into code so much!

That's what he did last time there was an invasion @Mike Rueffer. Gave some of the scientists' PTSD. It made a horrifying sound as well. Imagine slime, but when it sloshes around, it causes people around it to look at it scared and some to start puking.

Merry Christmas Decino!!!!

Am I the only one who thinks he has an accent just like Arnold Schwarzenegger

I love these videos, I know one day you won't be able to cover any more such subjects, but they're gems of information for old school gamers like me. Thanks man

I find your videos, especially this kind of series, extremely satisfying !!!!

4:30 triggers my google assistant. Bizarre.

This face is so funny 0:21 😂 It’s funny until you notice that you’re one shot

Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for the great video buddy

3:45 Who would win? A studio that invents FPS genre and then revolutionizes it multiple times with cutting edge graphics and technology or First grade level math operation

1:44 that face tho

The other fascinating thing about doom guy is that his smiling face when he finds a new weapon looks like Karl Urban when he smiles : - and guess in which 2005 movie he played? Yes, Doom. - and guess in which 2017 movie he had an iconic scene where he jumps on a montain of monsters wielding an assault rifle in each hand looking like the famous doom poster? Yes, Thor ragnarok. - and guess what other kind of weapon the Executioner ( the character Karl played ) is supposed to wield in Thor? Yes, an axe. - and guess what the doom guy will use as ultimate weapon in the next Doom game? Yes, a sword ( it's not an axe but Karl Urban used to wield a sword in Lord of the rings movies so that's fine ) I tell you : *EVERYTHING'S CONNECTED* 😲😲😲

Merry Christmas you have been one of my favorite channels this year.

It's 5am and I should be sleeping but your video looked interesting. A memorable welcome to your channel!
