Video games are often filled with secrets. They just don't usually stay hidden for this long.

Doom series co-creator John Romero took to Twitter on Friday with an exuberant congratulations for Zero Master, the YouTuber who discovered a secret unlock that's confounded Doom II fans for more than two decades. The secret is out now, and Romero is thrilled.

To be clear, the location itself isn't the secret here. Doom and its sequel have been a source of public fascination for decades, and dedicated programming-savvy fans discovered all of its hidden areas long ago.

What's unique about this one, however, is no one's ever managed to unlock it without cheating. As such, no one has ever been able to claim a 100 percent completion — a milestone that requires players to find every secret in the game — in the 24 years since Doom II launched. Until now.

      Has anyone ever suggested that there may be something not quite right with your head?
      Is there a chance you've done bad acid, got into something mind screwy, are on a permanent lsd type of trip, had a bad childhood, or are just a fucktard by nature?

        All the time. But what would be the point of listening to dumbshits who are merely trying to insult me?

        Is there a chance you've done bad acid, got into something mind screwy, are on a permanent lsd type of trip, had a bad childhood, or are just a fucktard by nature?

        Is there a chance that you can't tell the difference between the above and some with a decent amount of intelligence, who just doesn't agree with you on whatever peeve you have? I think the answer is yes, there's a very good chance.
