Guy Builds LEGO BFG-9000 From ‘Doom’
ZaziNombies LEGO Creations is a YouTube channel that builds awesome creations, mostly from video games, using nothing but LEGO blocks. From weapons seen in Call of Duty to creatures from Minecraft, Zazi shows incredible care and attention to detail for each of the projects. And for his latest endeavor, he’s picked one of the most powerful handheld weapons to appear in video game history: the BFG-9000 from Doom!
Now, Zazi has chosen to recreate the original BFG, the one from id Software’s 1993 classic FPS shooter that ended up revolutionizing and defining the genre. Dubbed in the 2005 film adaptation as the “Bio Force Gun”, all video game players know it by its real name: the “Big Fucking Gun”, which might be the most accurate name for a weapon in the history of video games. Honestly, I think that name even beats out total descriptors like “iron sword” or “wooden shield”. What kind of sword, huh? Oh, is that oak or maple? Get outta here and give me my big fucking gun!
Check out the above video to see the LEGO weapon “in action”! Once you’re done giving it a view, why not tell me your favorite Doom weapon in the comments below?
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
