Tomorrow is the tenth birthday(!!!) of the game that brought terms like "deathmatch," "gib," and "suck it down" into our vernacular. I definitely need to round up some of my mutant buddies to make sure we have some updated version of DOOM installed to celebrate the occasion. Last one with a telefrag is a rotten egg!

I'm sure we talked about gibs in Doom before Quake ever came out. When you hit an enemy with a rocket or a barrel (well, to be technical about it, if certain classes of enemy have lower than -70 health when they die, so plasma can also occasionally do it, and the BFG), they don't just die, they sort of explosively decompress into a lot of nasty red bits...I think that was *always* called gibbing, I don't ever remember calling it anything else. I remember one of the early DHT players used to take pride in gibbing as many enemies as possible in all his demos...
