Shoot it Until it Dies - Mass Distraction - 05-20-2016

This one is about the new Doom so in case you want to avoid spoilers, go back now.

One of the game's trophies/achievements is called Shoot it Until it Dies, which you get after defeating the Cyber Demon at the end of the Lazarus Labs chapter.

Here's a picture of the trophy, for the hell of it. Pun intended.

This trophy is a reference to an old April Fool's joke created by Andrew "Linguica" Stine, co-founder of Doomworld. This prank has often been confused as a real thing and somehow people had gotten the idea it was from an old GamePro magazine. Here's Linguica pointing at the thing and telling it was made by him: https://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/638978

Check the original post in the April Fools link where they mention GamePro. It's also mentioned on Cyberdemon's Wikipedia page.

Here's the infamous "pro tip":
