I've seen FAR too many movies, read FAR too many books and played FAR too many computer games to go through that door without a backpack full of survival gear, a loaded shotgun and a silver edged axe...
One of my favorite sites in RDR2 is a cabin on a hillside, overlooking a meadow. It's lovely. No matter how many times one re-plays the game, you will never open that front door more than once.
(Grizzly jump scare + pretty much unavoidable death. I accidentally avoided it by running into the house from behind while chasing a deer, and noticing a lot of paw prints and blood...)
I remember in Doom I always opened a door, threw in a grenade, waited for it to go off and if I didn't hear anything screaming ran in and sprayed the room on full-auto... If I DID hear anything screaming, and it didn't look like it was coming out I'd just throw in some more grenades.....
Oh, and of course quick save it *before* you opened the door - just in case!
I'm a firm believer in the old adage that you can never be too good looking, too rich or too heavily armed...
Yup - Saw that chunky boy. There's some LARGE books on the Napoleonic Wars out there! I have one - MUCH shorter - coming up... I really need to learn more about them apart from Sharpe novels! [grin]
Thanks! I'll check them out... [grin] I have seen a few covers with single doors, just hanging/sitting there with mysterious overtones. Sounds like its a theme... [grin]

Absolutely! That grenade trick also works in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Chuck a grenade, spray the Germans who run out.
Btw, have you seen this:

Interested in the premise, but's it's near a thousand pages. O_O

Having just finished _The Saint of Bright Doors_, I would have to agree with you.
I also read _The Ten Thousand Doors of January_ which I liked a lot more than Bright Doors.

Makes me think of one of my favourite animated films: Monsters Inc. LOL
Indeed with the standalone doors... BRILLIANT movie.
