Due to its focusing lenses and beam intensity, the energy wasted was extremely low, leading to a very long shooting range, up to 2,000,000 kilometers (over six light-seconds). In such cases, the amount of energy involved was so great it would generate minuscule space-time singularities, sending part of the target's mass into hyperspace and generating a massive shock wave from high-energy tachyons from hyperspace. The Death Star's superlaser, for example, could destroy any capital ship with less than 10 percent power, crack a planet open to the core with two 30 percent shots and blow it to pieces with a full-charged fire. Īs any powered weapon, it drained the amount of energy required to use, resulting in different energy outputs. The energy delivered into a target was so great that it could cause the target's atoms to split into matter/antimatter pairs and annihilate themselves, creating hundreds of miniature singularities while generating a powerful surge capable of rupturing the barrier between normal space and hyperspace.

Unlike turbolasers, it pulled energy from a massive hypermatter core, converting the energy present in hyperspace into highly unstable particles that were tremendously destructive in normal space. Sound in real life so loud and clear in an open area.The superlaser was composed of several exotic matter beams accelerated and amplified by gigantic focusing magnetic lenses and coils, producing a single powerful beam.

I was 18 years old then and as I type this and think back on it at 33 years old now, I still get the chills hearing that spawn cube That is the worst possible use of any Doom sound in my book but, I will never forget that instant. That's right, a fucking rap song used the spawn cube sound as the intro. My adrenaline was on full blast and my skin was crawling and I stood there staring at the library stage and huge speakers. I spun around so fast that my back pack swung around and hit my chest. As I am walking across campus to get to my car, my back to the library, I hear the fucking Icon of Sin spawn cube blast across the fucking field unbelievably loud and clear. Well that day they had been setting up these huge speakers and a stage for some event as there is a big open area(larger than a football field) that extends all the way to one of the parking lots where I parked.Īt the end of class, I could never get home fast enough to play games and forget about college classes. Door opening and closing sound, rocket launcher, imp dying, former human dying, spawn cube etc.īut one event of hearing the spawn cube I will never forget.īack in 1998 or 1999, in my first or second semester of College at UNO, I was exiting the Math building which was two buildings away from the huge library.

Have heard alot of the Doom sounds in commercials, movies, and cartoons/anime.
