Naoise O'HareHOST
And then it breaks through the window and captures Princess Prin Prin.
Naoise O'HareHOST
and off it goes and then the game starts and just what a cool opening to the game it's like it really creates the atmosphere and it's really dark and it's like it's scary or it's like it's the perfect like monster game opening I love it and then it has the beautiful oh I love when there's a progression map in games So if you think Sonic on the Master System, Golden Axe, what else? Alex Kidd, Super Ghouls and Ghosts.
Naoise O'HareHOST
There's a progression stage, so showing you each level.
Naoise O'HareHOST
And when you complete one, you go on to the next map.
Gardiner BryantHOST
like...
Gardiner BryantHOST
I think there's a natural evolution of a game like Vampire Survivors into a game like Double Dragon or fucking whatever, right? Golden Axe, those kind of games.
Gardiner BryantHOST
To me, that seems like a natural evolution.
Gardiner BryantHOST
I'm not going to follow.
StephenHOST
Microsoft give the blessing or whatnot.
StephenHOST
But this Diablo animated series better be fucking dark, gruesome, and visceral because if I get another Golden Axe catastrophe, I'm going to riot.
StephenHOST
Golden Axe is
Jeremy PowersHOST
fucking hilarious, by the way.
StephenHOST
No, it's piss.
Jeremy PowersHOST
What did you expect? It was from the same guys who did Lower Decks.
Jeremy PowersHOST
Exactly.
Jeremy PowersHOST
Don't give Golden Axe to them.
John RiggsHOST
So it's like, what a fun idea.
John RiggsHOST
I wish we would have seen more, you know, I wish we would have seen Alex Kidd in Altered Beast World or Alex Kidd in Golden Axe World or something, you know, but we had Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, so.
Tony GilesHOST
Oh, Alex Kidd in Golden Axe would have been awesome.
Tony GilesHOST
Yeah, right.
Kyle KrauseHOST
No shortage of things they could drag in.
Kyle KrauseHOST
you know what maybe golden axe well yeah that kind of makes sense it's already a beat-em-up it's a good way to bring it back i think might be yeah it'd be interesting they have a limited roster of characters though although there was the golden axe fighting game so you have a few more there yeah and they
Ian FlynnHOST
had a few others in the sequel arcade games there's There's more to it than a lot of people initially remember.
Kyle KrauseHOST
And
JaymoHOST
Um, a lot of video game movies do that thing where it's like, oh, for a second it looks like the game.
JaymoHOST
So, like, the Doom movie has the first person moment, and, like, the Golden Axe series just does a thing where it's, like, actually the pixels.
JaymoHOST
Um, but I like this better.
JaymoHOST
I think if they had, like, shown, like, 16-bit game footage, it would've felt a little too hokum.
Leon CoxHOST
Maybe, yeah.
Leon CoxHOST
Because I was just thinking about Golden Axe with its famous cries sampled from... various films was it red uh first blood and i think maybe
Ben CartlidgeGUEST
yeah
Leon CoxHOST
yeah anyway they're amazing but as you as you sort of allude to chris they're not because it takes a little bit longer to take out an enemy yeah in golden axe uh you're not you're not being bombarded in the same way yeah um So, yeah, that's that's good fun.
Leon CoxHOST
And I would say the actual the sound effects of obviously the gunfire, very crisp and very sort of trademark Konami.
Leon CoxHOST
There's some really cool effects like the windows breaking, which sound almost like they might be samples or at least little snatches of samples in among the sort of the more traditional game sound
MarshHOST
... crack open a flavored seltzer while we-
TomHOST
Completely off, completely off topic, they released a Golden Axe cartoon on Paramount Plus.
TomHOST
Um, so I started that last, or the other night when we finished Rebel Ridge, which I should probably also talk about.
MarshHOST
Oh, shit, you watched Rebel Ridge?
MarshHOST
Hold on, I'll go grab them.
TomHOST
In the meantime, guys, I'm gonna just try to keep, keep the conversation flowing.
TomHOST
Yeah, I watched the Golden Axe cartoon.
TomHOST
I was a big Golden Axe head when I was a kid.
AshHOST
So as I said, a whole load of very iconic, very prestigious green video game characters.
AshHOST
Oh, also, of course, from the Golden Axe games, how could I forget Gilius Thunderhead, who gets a mention for not only being green, but just having the greatest video game name ever.
AshHOST
So he's a short, he might even be a dwarf.
AshHOST
I think he's a dwarf and he wields an axe in the Golden Axe games.
AshHOST
But yeah, his name is Gilius Thunderhead.
AshHOST
I think we have to have a separate episode on the best video game names, G.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Now, here's the thing, though, Nicole.
Scott JohnsonHOST
You and I want Flanagan to have a good, successful run of Carrie, but we'd like him to get busy with his next project, which is the Dark Tower series.
Scott JohnsonHOST
And that needs to hurry the hell up.
Nicole SpagnoloPANELIST
Yeah, because that's going to be a series.
Nicole SpagnoloPANELIST
That is the way that book needs to
Scott JohnsonHOST
be told.
Nicole SpagnoloPANELIST
Didn't
Scott JohnsonHOST
he just publish a new... side story thing i haven't read it yet
