Doom 20th Birthday Video Perfectly Captures the '90s Slaughterfest

I remember playing Doom at my horrible just-after-college job in the mid '90s. After my boss left for the day, I'd turn off the lights in my office, fire up the Mac version on my PowerMac 8500 tower, don some cheap headphones and start blasting away at extraterrestrial demons.

How does Mashable know what's going viral?
Mashable built a system called Velocity, which scours the social web, collecting lots and lots of data around how people are engaging with published articles.
