Bethesda posted a video that reveals the collaboration between Doom developer ID and the Discovery Channel.
"For now over a decade, Discovery's popular show Mythbusters has helped put an end to longstanding myths relating to popular culture, news stories, and everyday life," read the description of the video. "For next week's January 31st episode, they're taking their expertise to video games."
"In this special episode dedicated to the hobby near and dear to our hearts, we're excited that id Software's own Tim Willits will be helping Adam and Jamie dig into an often-discussed topic of FPS games: Is it really possible for someone to carry all those health packs, guns, and even a chainsaw? Using the DOOM universe and DOOM 3 BFG Edition for reference, Tim helps the team recreate a DOOM level in real life."
