John Romero

If you have been, thank you for joining us.

And a big thank you to our production team, Brian Murray, John Romero, Rachel Passer, Heather Pissarro and Neil Rosenhaus.

So the good news is we have so many Bee Beast tier members now.

There are too many names to read out.

is safe like what were what were some of the ones that came out recently that critical acclaim sold tons of copies and then you still hear about the labs

here's the one that really really irritated the hell out of me was they gutted id id software the most iconic legendary developer and i'd say They're up there with the Nintendos and some of the other developers we could probably make examples of, but they did so much for gaming when they started in the early 90s with John Carmack and John Romero and the whole team they did there, right? So they apparently gutted more than half the team there.

Their team now is apparently smaller than what they started Doom 2016 with.

And all three Doom games critically acclaimed, sold pretty well.

It's pretty rare.

John Romero has it.

But most people remember things by seeing something, processing it, and encoding the story of what they saw.

And then if you try to recall the memory, you'll recall an image or a video, but that's your head reconstructing it from the things it knows rather than you remembering the actual thing.

Both one and two were released, of course, on PC and available for everybody there.

at the time but um this is post doom one and two but uh quake one and two also came out on the n64 and i believe both also came out of playstation 2 at playstation as well um anyways massive massive influential first-person shooter uh franchise for a lot of reasons which we'll get into i'm sure there's going to be some stuff that we missed along the way because just like with doom and what id software and john romero and those guys did at that time There's a lot of history here.

A lot of people have talked about this and there's going to be a lot of things that we may gloss over.

We may miss a little bit, but we're going to do our best to kind of cover as much as we can.

and you know these games aren't aren't super long you don't have to get everything just just like other games in the genre at the time there's secrets you know so there's lots of secrets in each level that adds to the sort of like intricacies of things you don't have to get them all but it's cool because you get more armor you get like uh whatever stuff like that right but super nail gun yes yeah super super shotgun and um dual shotgun i think they call it um but it's yeah it it works until it doesn't i think that's the problem and two has the same problem with the level the levels are are really big um yeah and and uh just as difficult of a game i would say for the most part so it's it's hard it's a tough balance i see what they're going for but um but it does make it make it pretty difficult uh i will

say the the visuals on two are better like yeah yeah i want to i

definitely i would definitely want to talk a lot about too because i i uh i didn't get to finish it but i was that's the one i've played the most recently because i did i finished one like last week and played a lot more of two and stuff yeah um the other thing too is uh i found this kind of fun you're kind of talking about the love crafty and stuff how that's something that sells you on it uh i didn't know this at the time but John Carmack is obviously a huge, and John Romero are obviously huge names in the industry, especially in the 90s.

Id Software, they've done a lot of big things like Doom and Quake.
