Sometimes they ask you to re-enter some blurry text displayed on screen, other times they show you nine images and want you to click on the images that include, say, a boat. There are a bunch of different varieties of CAPTCHA out there, but they all share at least one characteristic: they suck. But what if we lived in a world where CAPTCHAs didn\u2019t suck? Developer Miquel Camps Orteza is presumably the only developer to ask themselves that question, and through doing so, has created an imp-shooting CAPTCHA that actually feels fun to solve. It\u2019s called DOOM CAPTCHA, and it involves shooting three Doom imps within a short (almost too short) period of time. Weirdly, the imp exists in the Wolfenstein universe, but that inconsistency doesn\u2019t matter because no matter where they are, shooting imps is fun.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Shoot imps to prove you\u2019re human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAPTCHAs are those little tests of skill that websites use to make sure you\u2019re human and not a bot.
