Looked up whether there was a game called Doom that was a parody of Doom and there is! Except there isn't! Cause Gloom isn't a parody, it's just a clone for the Amiga. Boo.
I beat the first two games in the PS4 collection and got a good bit of the way through 3. Ironically, I got stuck in the first Spyro game on PS4, which is funny since I've always heard Spyro is the easier franchise (granted, it's because I wasn't sure where to go, not cause I died).
I'm excited for this, too and I'm kind of hoping GameFly gives me Nitro Fueled in the mail soon. I think I have Control above it in my que for now, but I might change that. I could go for some pick-up-and-play stuff.
Huh ... thought it was a Zelda mashup, given the title.
The only thing I wouldn't recognize here is the book, and I don't like what that says about me. Well, I do recognize the name Pale Blue Dot and am familiar with Carl Sagan, but I don't really remember that cover.
Was that when he was making fun of Final Fantasy XV? I don't see that as elitist, personally. I thought it was kinda funny cause RPGs can take a while to get going. I think the gag of that (now-defunct) segment where he hams it up like he still can't figure out video games and picks on his more knowledgeable assistant is the elitist part, but I can understand if you like the game he was ripping on that you don't care for that bit.
I never really got into Springsteen albums, but his live show was amazing.
I wonder if there are good dancing songs that also have odd time signatures. Maybe "Play That Funky Music Whiteboy" is going in a whole lot of directions I simply do not hear.
A WINNER IS YOU
All great picks.
Conan is the only late night host I'm still subscribed to on YouTube. Also, I got to see Bruce Springsteen live for free with Max Weinberg drumming and Tom Morello on guitar. That's the concert I brag about going to the most. Was a little annoyed when we saw Slipknot and I couldn't really see Jay Weinberg (Max's son) playing drums. Also annoyed I'll never get to see Joey Jordison with them.
Didn't realize Wallace & Gromit was that old, but I loved watching the shorts on PBS as a kid and of course the movies.
I definitely played more NBA Jam than Doom in the 90s, but that's probably cause I was so young. I was disappointed when they tried bringing NBA Jam back but the reviews were mediocre. I miss arcade sports titles.
People praising Tool for their odd time signatures makes me realize how little music theory I know, cause to me their songs/riffs have always sounded pretty simple but I guess the stuff they're working into these songs is a lot more complex than I would think.
That's a hell of a title for a book, but sounds like an interesting read.
The NES Contra is probably my favorite cause it's the most accessible. I honestly did not realize Contra started as an arcade game, though I guess a lot of games did back then.
I only know the ones I've been on (that sounds more vain than it is; I'm just not an avid podcast listener) but Reading Gamebow is another one.
This is reminding me there was some pretty cool stuff in the 90s, which is nice for as much as I've seen some people shit on the decade in recent years.
Loving this series of yours.
