Bethesda 3D Prints a Real Version of DOOM’s B.F.G.
Bethesda has 3D printed a life size replica of the B.F.G. from DOOM, and given it away to a talented fan.
The company ran a competition for fans to create their own paint job for the iconic weapon, and the winner, John Allen, got the B.F.G. to keep.
The replica itself was created and crafted by, ironically, MyMiniFactory. Instead of working from reference images like normal, id Software shared in-game files with the designers so the gun would be as accurate as possible.
To create such a gun was a mammoth task. It took Kirby Downey, lead designer at MyMiniFactory 35 hours to design each piece of the weapon, 70 in total, and then it took 1,000 hours to actually 3D print it all.

Ghostbusters Director Responds to Trailer Hate
When the first trailer for the new Ghostbusters hit the net, it caused something of an uproar, the video criticised for both lacking laughs, and being confusing in that it connected the film to the 1984 original while at the same time seeming to be a full-on reboot. It also quickly became the most disliked movie trailer on YouTube.
Director and co-writer Paul Feig hasn’t said much about the furore – being somewhat busy finishing said film – but when he recently stopped by IGN's London office, we asked for his thoughts about the controversy surrounding both the trailer and the film…
“It was very interesting because we were early enough in the process where we didn't have hardly any VFX we could show, we were very early in the process. So we had developed that one big shot of Time Square - we originally had a teaser trailer we were going to put out on the front of Star Wars, and it was really great but it was very... we decided to take a tone that was very serious, just to throw people off a little bit. And then at the last we all kind of decided 'Do we want to go out with that?' So we pulled it back, but we had developed that one shot of Time Square for it, but even at that I didn't think it was refined yet - I wanted to keep working on it.
