Doom is a series of violent first-person shooter video games, one of the first of its kind in the video game industry. The Brothers Chaps have made several references in the Homestar Runner body of work to the series, especially both the first game in the series and cacodemons, the floating one-eyed demon foes that appear in the game. They also make several references to WADs. A .WAD file is a data file for the Doom Engine that is normally a mod made by one or more fans that includes new maps, weapons, etc. The Brothers Chaps use this extension for random programs.
