Ethan Watson (GooberMan)

Ethan "GooberMan" Watson is a mapper who released several maps for the ZDoom source port. The most well known of these maps is Space Station Omega, which placed in Doomworld's Top 100 WADs of All Time feature.

GooberMan joined the Doom community in 2001 by registering an account on the Doomworld forums. His maps were characterised by heavy use of scripting; use of cutting-edge ZDoom features; and creative use of old ZDoom features to create a different type of playing experience in Doom. For example, Doom: The Arcade Game was designed to be a fast-paced money-chewing arcade game where the player started with a small time limit and had to kill enemies, collect items, perform certain actions, and find secrets to increase the timer.

He retired from mapping in 2004 to focus more on his video game programming career. However, in 2013 he emerged from retirement with the intention of creating a follow up to Space Station Omega.

He still regularly browses the Doomworld forums as well as the ZDoom forums, and can be found on IRC on occasion.
