I've been working on not being too hyped for DOOM: The Dark Ages, since I'm already greatly looking forward to it. But the new trailer and reviews today are not helping with this resolve. I have to admit to myself I might as well preorder it even though I'm on record about this not generally being the best idea. It's hard to make the case for not doing so, since there's zero chance I won't buy it. Okay, I guess I have not actually succeed in avoiding hyping myself.
