'''''Reelism''''' is an invasion-style GameMod for ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom II]]'' by Kinsie.

There are four modes of play; '''Standard''' is the normal mode of play, in which the players must endure five rounds before fighting the boss. In '''Endurance''', the player must survive ten rounds before the boss appears. In '''Infinite''', the player must survive for as long as he can before he is killed, with a boss appearing after every five rounds. And finally, '''Boss Practice''' simply pits the player against a boss with no other monsters spawning.

** [[spoiler:If you get the 2-2-2 jackpot, a cartoon "[[ToiletHumour number two]]" with a happy face dawn on it appears. It acts similar to The Jerk, except it moves slower, and does ''not'' despawn.]]

** HYPERPOWER!, one of the slot possibilities, is named after the opening track from the NineInchNails album ''YearZero''

* StupidJetpackHitler: [[Wolfenstein3D Mecha Hitler]] features as a boss.

** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Bronies]] - depicted as fat neckbeards in jeans - are one of the enemy slots, and don't do much but neigh and talk about the show in stilted, high-pitched voices, and serve as cannon fodder, meatshields, and ammo drops. [[SomethingAwful Given that the mod author's a goon...]]

** Most of the music throughout Reelism is taken from the 16-bit generation, such as from the {{SNES}} or the [[SegaGenesis Sega Mega Drive]].

'''''[=REELism=]''''' is an invasion-style GameMod for ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom II]]'' by Kinsie.

In ''[=REELism=]'', gameplay is divided into several "rounds" each lasting 60 seconds, with a different combination of [[RandomNumberGod randomly chosen]] slots that affects gameplay. Each of the three reels have different themes to them; the effects in the first reel are basic modifiers such as low gravity or infinite ammo, the second reel either affects what weapons are spawned and ammo dropped by enemies, or transforms the player. Finally, the last reel affects what enemies are spawned during the round, with any surviving enemies remaining even after the round ends. After a certain number of rounds has passed, a [[BossBattle boss]] will appear and the player must defeat it to win the game.
