Ever wonder how a meme gets started? The friendship between Doom Guy from Doom Eternal and Isabelle from Animal Crossing may seem straightforward (after all, both games were released on the same day, the 20th of March), but there's more to these things than a simple shared date.

The story of Doom Guy and Isabelle is the story of two fandoms coming together in celebration of their shared love of games - even though these games couldn't possibly be any different.

In order to track down the origin of the Doom Guy/Isabelle meme, we spoke to Agent Strange, who has been cataloguing it from the start, and who commissioned one of the first pieces of artwork that paired the Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal characters together.

Also, special thanks to Chromosome Flames (https://www.instagram.com/chromosomes_flames), who contributed fan art to this video. Plus, of course, all the other artists whose tweets we display and quote in this video!

 We hope you guys are enjoying either New Horizons or Eternal, whichever your preferred game might be. Hey, perhaps you're enjoying both of them? If so, great! Or maybe you're not playing either? If so, thanks very much for watching this video regardless, you're fabulous and we appreciate your support.

Good luck finding those iron nuggets and the Crucible Sword!

Lots of love,
