Alternative BFG names
I think with the list of "alternative BFG name expansions" we're in danger of ending up with a list of every single expansion that someone once made up in school one day. It might be a good idea to find citations for the existing expansions to determine their notability. Fraggle 08:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * A few are mentioned in the BFG FAQ, although AFAICT the concept there is "here's a few representative examples" and not "we searched Usenet exhaustively and these are the three/four most notable expansions we found".   Ryan W 18:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Citations for "homages" section
The wikipedia article creates a bibliography by simply linking to its own articles about the works cited, so I'm not sure we need to do more. The last item I copied seems to be obscure, however (at least in English-language sources), so here are a few links:. Ryan W 23:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Big Fucking Gun
While we all know what BFG stands for, I think that "technically" it's Big Fraggin' Gun, as that's the acronym mentioned in the Official Doom FAQ. I don't think the term used in an internal design document should be considered the "real" name any more than the Doomguy is named Buddy Dacote or something.

BFG 9000 one hit boss kill trick
maybe ive missed it, but i havent seen any mention of the one hit trick ive seen on many demos where the player has fired only one BFG shot at a cyberdemon or spider demon, ran towards it and still holding run and forward in front of the boss while the BFG particle hits the enemy, and then the enemy instantly dies, I am not sure what exactly happens to cause this but I would have thought this needs to be mentioned as some sort of bug or trick that is exploited. Unless it is already here somewhere.
