My only contact with AoE was with its Star Wars-themed cousin, Galactic Battleground. I like the system overall, though the pacing feels a bit slower than C&C's. I felt like I spent a lot more time building up before marching to crush the enemy base.

Technical limitations, maybe. Patrolling enemies are cool, though they can represent one more thing that can get buggy. Besides, quietly following and sneaking around enemies is totally not a Doom-like thing :P

Another favorite Arena moment - the master bedroom in Stonekeep. If only one of the walls wasn't torn down to reveal a nasty Ghoul-filled maze, it would have been really cozy.

As you can probably guess, good lyrics on their own aren't enough - there still has ot be some nice music to back them up. Rap has lots of lyrics, for sure, but it's definitely not something I can enjoy or relate to. They aren't even singing, just rhyming...

Oh, I forgot to mention Radiohead. I had this friend from Slovenia (a small country not far from here) about 13 years ago, and we often chatted on Yahoo Messenger (which is discontinued nowadays). He was a very dedicated Doom fan too and this was the main reason we got to know each other, of course. So, he was very depressed (even suicidal) during one period, and I was trying to offer some support. And he was always listening to Radiohead during this time, often sharing songs with me. They were pretty depressing too. Later on he overcame his depression by "finding Jesus" and becoming religious. But hey, if it works... It's been quite some time since I last heard from him.

Yikes, that's some creepy music, though it will probably fit well into Quake as ambience. And now I'm getting flashbacks about the aforementioned Radiohead guy again.
