Doom is a series of first-person shooter video games, one of the first of its kind in the video game industry.

They also make several references to WADS. A .wad file is an edit, usally made by a fan, to Doom (or Doom II), which usually adds new weapons or levels. The Brothers Chaps use it for random programs.
