One Stage at a Time

We discuss Central Processing from DOOM (1993) and its BASIC music! Is this dull soundtrack what's in DOOMGuy's iPod? Yes, iPod. The level is mazes within mazes and has a truly astounding amount of enemies! Also in this episode: Aaron passes the cognitive test! DOOM and golf are one and the same? The army and navy are using murder simulators to recruit children? DOOM is probably the most Christian and American game ever made! And we discuss the unfortunate connection between DOOM and the Columbine shooting, along with censorship in gaming and the dreaded "Adults Only" rating.

Seriously. Do NOT search for the Lara-Su Chronicles. We are joined by Ed Tirado and Jared Vandergriff as we take on Scrap Brain Zone, Act II, in Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear! It's an interesting stage, but maybe not good? Also, we discuss Robotnik and his relationship with the woodland creatures and the Overlanders! Also, woodland creatures are apparently excellent at warfare and murdering people. We discuss Sonic comic books, including the ongoing Ken Penders drama. Do you know what an echyd'nya is? And do you know what the Lara-Su Chronicles are? If you don't, you're one of the lucky ones.

We discuss this interesting level and the man who designed it, Tom Hall, a man ahead of his time! We learn the secrets and discuss new items found within the level, such as the hazmat suit! We are confused then in love with how DOOM teaches us how to play without teaching us! We also wonder what in the hell happened with streaming and Doctor Disrespect a few weeks ago. Andy suggests that if you're not playing on at least "Hurt Me Plenty," then you have no business playing DOOM. And, finally! Uh...is that a swastika?

Ed returns to take on Scrap Brains Zone: Act 1 in Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear! In this episode, Aaron gets cancelled! Like, immediately. We discuss the odd name that is Scrap Brain.

What fuels Doomguy's rage? Is he mad because motherfuckers keep shooting him? Or about all the statues being torn down? We obliterate the Toxin refinery, from DOOM (1993)! We encounter new and dangerous enemies, new exciting weapons, and Aaron finds none of the fascinating secrets this level has to offer! What lies beyond the pool of poison before us? Aaron doesn't know! Also, DOOM introduces us to gibbing! Do they guys prefer games where you carry a couple weapons at a time, a la Gears of War, or the DOOM style, where you're loaded up with all your weapons? What do we really think about the Church of Satan? And should Tim Allen be cancelled? All this and more in this explosive episode of One Stage at a Time!

Still Lost in Labyrinth Zone! The boys discuss Labyrinth Zone, Act 2, in Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear! The level is harrowing but oh so very slow! But really, what is the point of it? Is it for 16-bit Sonic fans? If so, why make an inferior version of a Genesis level? Is it the first real misstep of the Game Gear version? We also take a deep dive in the lore corner, this time focused on the chaos emeralds! What are they? Where did they come from? Also, how is Robotnik not defeated? There are about a dozen God-level heroes in the Sonic franchise these days? Just kill him, already.
