Doomguy is one ultra talented space marine. Unstoppable killing machine, friend to animals<\/a>, ollie master\u2014what can’t he do? I’m currently on my fifth watch of Doom Slayer’s Pro Skater, an excellent video that finds Doomguy doing a different sort of shredding across E1M1, except in Tony Hawk’s Underground.<\/p>\n

The video is from back in 2020, but creator Low Poly Depression<\/a> recently resurfaced it with some relatable context: “I made this when the pandemic hit and I was losing my mind.” It’s a short but sweet two minutes of Doomguy skating, spinning, and grinding chains in hell before smashing his skateboard into pieces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There appear to be a few mods in use here, including E1M1<\/a> and the 2016 Doom Slayer model<\/a>. I can’t track down the second map featured in the video, but maybe some longtime Tony Hawk players can identify it. The base game is THUG Pro<\/a>, a free mod extension for 2004’s Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 that enables adding characters and levels. The mod community is still very much active: here’s a Leon Kennedy model<\/a> someone added just days ago, for example.<\/p>\n

As fun as Tony Hawk mods are, I hope the recent resurgence of skateboarding games takes us back to the glory days of inexplicable official cameos, minigames and questionable licensed products. Was The Simpsons Skateboarding a good videogame? Absolutely not<\/a>. Was it canon-appropriate for Solid Snake to go skateboarding around Big Shell<\/a>? Probably not, though Kojima works in mysterious ways. Was the PC version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 better because Doomguy was secretly playable<\/a> with a cheat code? Unquestionably.<\/p>\n

I’m just saying, the world was in a better place when videogame executives demanded Shrek guest star in Tony Hawk to hype up the upcoming Shrek 2 tie-in game. It was a purer time.<\/p>\n
