About Us
Summer of Doom is a charity gaming marathon in support of the Child’s Play charity, which works to improve the lives of children in hospitals with toys and games. To help them raise money, our team will be playing through all three of the Doom games for as long as viewers like you keep donating. It’ll be a fun and entertaining show for those who love Doom or love videogames, and hopefully it will be a great event to help children in need!
Why Doom?
Why not? Doom has always been one of our favorites (and an absolute obsession for Isaac, the guy behind all this). It’s also one of the most important videogames in history, popularizing first person shooters and pioneering 3D graphics, networked multiplayer, and community modifications. And with that upcoming sequel...reboot...thing, this seems as good a time to celebrate these classics as any.
This time it’s different, though. It’s not one lone marine fighting to save humanity. It’s all of us - the team, and you beautiful viewers who pledge your support.
About the Team:
Our crack squadron of UAC Marines is formed of lifelong gamers and students who were looking for ways to earn community service hours for high school. We thought this would be a fun way to combine our love for videogames (and the Doom series in particular) with helping a worthy cause.
