I just finished watching a 3 and a half hour review of Doom (1993) and it made me want to read Masters of Doom (2003) and made me wish that I, too, had a game designer buddy whose vibe was on the same frequency that allowed me to create a genre defining video game at the age of 23. alas the closest thing I ever had to that was creating a pyweek jam entry in 2011, when I was 20, with a guy that lived on the same street in the same small town that went to the same college and attended some of the same computer science classes as I did. that was cool. I never did manage to create a game that another human could actually play after that.
