Two years ago, a Something Awful user decided to renovate his bathroom, and did it in about the worst way possible. Not only was it a garish mess — it looks like a Helghast home improvement show — but he violated a bunch of building codes with some reckless DIY along the way.
As bad as all that is, you can now enjoy it from a distance with a Doom map that faithfully recreates the room. It also has an excellent name.
more progress on BATHDOOM. got some textures in, and the plastic pebbles around the bath really hurt when you step on ’em pic.twitter.com/d2gsJVub4V

If you’re wondering why the ground around the bath is causing damage, that’s because the actual bathroom featured rocks all around the bath (designed to grow moss), and the damage caused to Doom Guy is a reflection of the damage we have all had to take looking at this casino/Yakuza bar colour scheme.

I’m reading through the original SA thread now and it is spectacular.
THE GUY CUT STRUCTURAL I-BEAMS SO HE COULD PUT A BATH TUB IN THEM.
Did he ever post pictures of the finished room? I went through the whole thread. Did I miss them?
Who knew Kotaku was so full of goons?
Oh god, that was a terrible rabbithole to fall down. I just wasted waaaaay too long reading that thread.
While I’m not a fan of his design it’s bloody annoying that it ended up with so much nastiness that it drove the OP out and he never posted pics of the finished result. I want to know how it actually turned out.
