"All hell in a blaze": Infernal N.S. wildfire demands urgent exodus of Subdivision
image by stable-diffusion
When a wildfire in Nova Scotia caused chaos and destruction in a residential area, it was compared to the video game series, DOOM, in a fiery rendition of the game. Forced evacuations ensued, and the complex maze-like escape route was reminiscent of a DOOM map.
Title: "N.S. Wildfire Does Its Best to Remind People of DOOM Game Series" In a rather hellish attempt at real-life viral marketing, the wildfire in Upper Tantallon, N.S., has attended the masterclass for infernal branding and sparked comparisons to the popular video game series, DOOM. As flames consumed the Westfood Subdivision on Sunday afternoon, "Hell on Earth" seems no longer fictional nor otherworldly. Residents of the subdivision quickly found themselves in a fiery rendition of the popular first-person shooter game. While no demonic creatures were spotted (no verified sightings, anyway), the locals did encounter hordes of confused and panicked neighbors who may or may not have shrieked like a horde of the undead. One resident, who preferred to remain anonymous, told us: "I just wish my house hadn't been part of this bizarre marketing campaign. I guess I should be glad it wasn't a lava pit or something." Forced evacuations were orchestrated by the developers (or the RCMP, as they preferred to be called), who efficiently pulled out the big guns (evacuation vehicles) to make sure everyone had a fighting chance of survival. Their slogan: "Get out while your cheat codes still work!" It's no surprise that the evacuation route was as maze-like as a DOOM map, with Winslow Drive leading out to Hammonds Plains Road, a complex labyrinth of streets that induced a bout of nostalgia in gamers everywhere. DOOM's developer, id Software, has not commented on the chaos, but sources say they may be discussing adding "North Scotia Breakout" as a new DLC pack, with a portion of the proceeds going to help those who lost their homes to the fiery hellscape. As suburban infernos go, this one definitely wins first place for its interactive and immersive experience. So for those who missed out, be sure to sign up for the next round of "Survive Upper Tantallon - Wildfire Edition" and, this time, don't forget your BFG 9000.
