‘Mythbusters’ goes to hell to take on Doom

Discovery Channel’s popular Mythbusters show is in the midst of one of its nerdiest seasons yet. This year, hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have already gone head-to-head with myths from Raiders of the Lost Ark, The A-Team, and The Simpsons. Now, the crew is taking on video games for the first time ever.

On 9 p.m Eastern Saturday, Mythbusters airs a video game special. This includes a look at id Software’s classic first-person shooter Doom. The show tests whether it is possible for someone to carry all of the health packs, guns, and other weapons that the hero of Doom has on him throughout the game.
