A second trip through DOOM 3...

So I just completed DOOM 3 for the second time. The first time, I plowed through the game in four days and completed it on Veteran mode, though I cheated to beat the End Boss, thinking that it would be impossible. On my second trip through DOOM 3, also on Veteran mode, but this time played at 1024 x 768 with the effects all bumped up to maximum, it took a longer by design--about two weeks--because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any secrets, tips, or hidden features. And I actually beat the End Boss (and, for what it's worth, the entire game) without cheating: Turns out it's pretty easy, too (just kill each monster as it comes out of the pit, and then use the Soul Cube on the big guy 4-5 times and he goes down). And sure enough, I did run into a few things I had missed the first time around, but much fewer than I had hoped for. My favorite was the "id" secret right at the end, which I've documented below. It includes a PDA with a bunch of thank you emails from the id folks. Good stuff.
