doom 2

This week, Chid and Sigh welcome our friend and Doom expert, Brandon (@Thatoneguy64) to talk all things Doom. Doom. Doom 2. Doom 64. The Road. Zero Tolerance. TOTK. Walking around. And all the other Dooms!

Brandon is wonderful guest and conversationalist and if you're not already following him on Twitter, I don't know what to tell you. He's like if Brett actually had Juice.

In Episode 14 The Bucket List Gamers tackle FOUR influential First Person Shooters in the form of Doom (8), Doom 2 (50), Quake (88) and Halo: Combat Evolved (24)!

We jump on board the first space ship to hell with Doom Slayer (or DoomGuy as he's probably better known), explore the very brown world of Quake and try to hold back The Flood alongside everyone's favourite Spartan; Master Chief.

Probably not the best time to point out Jay isn't very good at First Person Shooters...

Oh, and we also talk about Wolfenstein 3D, because it wouldn't be an episode of BLG without us inadvertently bringing up 'those guys' again. It'll be the last time, we promise!

Enjoy!

In this episode, we’re talking about the classic music of the DOOM video games, focusing on the work of Bobby Prince in 1993 and Mick Gordon in 2016. Not only did both composers produce memorable and compelling soundtracks for their respective games, they did so under very different market and technological conditions. We talk about these changing conditions and how they manifest in each soundtrack.
