Trivia: When finding the collectibles in game, Doomguy inspects each one briefly before pocketing it. Each bears a resemblance to Doomguy in his armor in one form or another in various color schemes. When you find the collectible titled Doomguy as his own counterpart, you Doomguy will actually fist bump the doll in a unique animation that only plays for this one collectible.

Trivia: The protagonist of the Doom series has many nicknames. Including; Doom Marine, Doom Slayer, Hell Walker, Unchained Predator, Scourge of Hell, Doomguy, and DM1-5. His real name is stated to be B.J. Blazkowicz III, and is possibly a decedent of B.J Blazokowicz from Wolfenstein, a game series made by the same company.

Trivia: Doomguy's suit is dubbed the Praetor Suit by the UAC in this game. This name comes from the Latin word Praetoriani, which translates to "Praetorian Guard" who were the elite Roman soldiers guarding the Emperor. Furthermore, the term Praetor was also the name given to the two ancient Roman magistrates that ranked just below consul.

Samuel Hayden: That is pure Argent Energy you've taken into your system. It seems to agree with you. Hmm. I will unlock the remaining Argent cells in the facility for you. Vega, give him what he wants.

More quotes from Doom

Question: When VEGA starts giving Doomguy the report on the facility casualties after Dr Hayden tells him to, I picked up on a couple number references in what he says. His lines are thus... "61,337 UAC members deceased, 81% of the facility is on lockdown, demonic presence through the Mars installation is critical. According to the records, Dr. Hayden, the invasion originated in the Lazarus Facility. It seems that a Hellwave was activated transforming 64% of all UAC employees into the creatures you see roaming through the facility. The rest were killed by the demons released from cells by Olivia Pierce." 61,1337 seems to be a reference/joke to the number 1337 being Leet, or elite with the 6 as a demonic figure. Demon Elite. And then the 64% seems to be a reference to doom 64. So what's the significance of the 81% number then? Or are these numbers all just a coincidence?

Answer: Another thing I've noticed is that if you add up all the individual numbers in 61,337 and then reverse the two letters you get 20 and 16. Both together is 2016, the year the film was released. Could be a coincidence but I doubt it.

Answer: The original "Castle Wolfenstein" was released in 1981. The popular "Wolfenstein 3D" was released in 1992 by Id Software, and gained them significant credibility.
