Alucard's Bat Form & Familiars - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 9

Alucard's Bat Form & Familiars - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 9

Alucard returns to the Long Library once again, this time with a new ability: double jump! Using the Leap Stone, Alucard can now reach places he couldn't before in the library, which allows him to get the extremely useful Bat Form! The bat form really opens up the castle for Alucard, allowing him to explore like never before!

He also gets his first familiar, the Fairy! We talk a little about the familiars and what they bring to the table.

And we talk about the Lesser Demon, the boss of the Long Library. This poor pervert is probably the easiest boss so far, and we wonder how he wound up where he did in the game.

And Sam takes us down a wild road as he tells us all about Chainsaw Man, his current obsession.

All this and more in a Fan-bat-stic episode of One Stage at a Time!

Maximus Alucardus Fights in the Colosseum - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 8 - Colosseum

Alucard makes his way through the Colosseum in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! We fight all sorts of challenging enemies and encounter some notorious rooms of peril.

We also meet up with someone who could be the big bad of the game - Richter Belmont! Why is Richter calling himself the master of Dracula’s castle and trying to kill Alucard?

We also discuss anime such as Macross and Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans!

And we dive into the incredible number of items, specifically shields, and how you can use the Shield Rod with them to break the game!

Alucard Confesses His Sins - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 7 - Royal Chapel

Say your prayers, Dracula.

Yes, we’re playing through The Royal Chapel in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!

We take on flaming skulls, puppet swords, hippogriffs, and the dreaded…bird.

We also confess and take confessions, as well as encounter Maria and her stiff, Barbie-like legs!

And we wrap things up by getting a much-coveted double-jump!

The Librarian Betrays Dracula: Castlevania Symphony of the Night 6 - The Long Library

We reach the Long Library and meet the reclusive Librarian! Though reluctant at first, he almost immediately turns on his master, Dracula, to aide us in our quest!

Who is this mysterious man lurking among the tomes and what exciting things does he have to offer?

We also talk about magic spells! What complicated button combos allow us to straight up break the game? Alucard is a heckin’ wizard, baby!

And we talk once more about Nintendo and their lack of a virtual console!

Then for like two seconds we talk about the new Mortal Kombat movie!

All this and a whole lot of gross jokes about the Master Librarian in this episode of One Stage at a Time!

Patriotic Bone Muskets - Castlevania SotN 5: Outer Wall

Yup, we're in the walls. We explore the Outer Wall area of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!

We take on new enemies like the Armor Lord and Medusa Head, as well as the fearsome doppelgänger!

We also find new weapons like the Jewel Knuckles, and discover how to fast travel (sort of)!

Then we discuss movies, including The Patriot and the Talented Mr. Ripley!

And do not go to the clock tower. We repeat: DO NOT go to the clock tower.

Who Was Dracula?: Castlevania Symphony of the Night 4 - Marble Gallery

Alucard ventures into the Marble Gallery, where he meets a whole new set of enemies, including Audrey II and Sexy Lady Tails! Alucard also meets Maria for the first time in the giant clock room! There is a whole lot to discuss in this area, laying a lot of the groundwork for the rest of the game, so don't waste any time and get into it!

We also explore the history of the man himself, Vlad the Impaler! We expand on his struggles and background, and find out why, exactly, he was such a stabby boy! So get ready for some real dark chuckles as we talk about his atrocities and how he got away with some madness!

And keep a sharp ear out for a special guest, who was just way too intrigued by the mention of Matthias Corvinus!

Fighting Gaibon & Slogra - Castlevania: SotN 3, Alchemy Laboratory

We venture into the first area after losing all our gear, the alchemy laboratory! We discover secrets, new items like the leather shield, sunglasses, and more!

Then we take on the first bosses of the game, Gaibon & Slogra! We discuss their tactics and how to beat them!

We also discuss the Invincible TV show! How does it stack up to the comic? Does it matter? Is it any good? We get into it!

And Aaron gives you wonderful listeners a fun new nickname! (Don't worry, it's projection.)

Dracula Lives in Hogwarts - Castlevania 2: Entrance

Dracula Lives in Hogwarts - Castlevania 2: Entrance

We finally meet our protagonist, Alucard, as we play through the first section of the main game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!

Alucard tears his way through some minions and confronts Death itself as he ventures forth into Dracula's Castle! His items are stripped from him and he must begin with nothing, Death taunting him as he goes.

We discuss this first section, as well as speculate as to the nature of Dracula's Castle. We also dig into Alucard, the man-vampire himself, in the lore corner! Is he a true hero, or does he have some skeletons in his closet?

Then Sam gives us his thoughts on the new Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter: Rise for the Nintendo Switch!

And lastly, we chuckle about the glowing, suspicious reviews that Balan Wonderworld is receiving!

Rondo of Blood - Castlevania: SoTN 1

We begin Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! It's a brand new game and we are excited to begin a new journey!

It's our first Metroidvania-style game, and we answer the question "what is a Metroidvania?"

In this episode we discuss the prologue, which is actually the final level from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood! To start off Symphony of the Night, you battle against Dracula straight away! We dig into Rondo of Blood and how it sets up Symphony of the Night! We also expand upon other Castlevanias that came before Symphony of the Night.

We talk about Symphony of the Night's interesting voice acting, memorable sound effects, and excellent score!

And unlike DOOM, Symphony of the Night has many many enemies that we can look forward to!

Join us as we embark on a new game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!

Suffering Through DOOM: Annihilation - DOOM 39

We review the movie DOOM: Annihilation! Yes, we suffered through it so you don't have to!

We're not sure how this movie came to be or why they thought it was a good idea, but DOOM: Annihilation exists and we're going to discuss it!

Come laugh and marvel at the complete failure that is DOOM: Annihilation!

The Best Designed Level in Doom - DOOM 34: They Will Repent

The Best Designed Level in Doom - DOOM 34: They Will Repent

We discuss “They Will Repent,” the fifth level in episode 4 of DOOM (1993)! While it’s underwhelming in regards to challenge, we all agree that this level is designed fantastically! From the river of blood to the ACTUAL BUILDING feel, we can’t get enough. But does that turn things around for the final episode, or are we still over DOOM?

And we discuss the Sonic the Hedgehog shake-ups! New voice actors! New show! But Robotnik abides.

Speaking of Sonic, Yuji Naka & Naoto Ohshima’s new game, Balan Wonderworld, has released a demo and Andy gives his thoughts on the gameplay.

Then, we discuss the WB Nemesis System Patent! Alanah Pearce recently discussed on her show the potential pitfalls of the system being patented and we give our takes on the issue.

And finally, we quickly talk about Godzilla Vs. Kong and what we expect from the behemoth brawl!

DoomGuy Destroys His Perfect Hole - DOOM 33: Unruly Evil

DoomGuy Destroys His Perfect Hole - DOOM 33: Unruly Evil

We discuss the easiest level in episode 4 of DOOM, Unruly Evil! A very short, very inoffensive, nothing bad but nothing particularly good stage. We discuss how a level like this works in the game and how it could be improved upon. And we speculate on the one truly interesting aspect of the level: the hole. We speculate on how DoomGuy would handle Junji Ito’s classic comic, The Enigma of Amigara Fault (though we can’t remember the name).

And we must be a little stir-crazy from this pandemic because we once again bring up everyone’s favorite gecko, Gex!

Then we discuss the ongoing WallStreetBets, Gamestop, and Robinhood situation! How have things changed and where do things go from here?

We also speculate on G4 and how it’s going to do. Aaron does not care.

Doom's Dumbest Secrets - DOOM 32: Sever the Wicked

Doom's Dumbest Secrets - DOOM 32: Sever the Wicked

Sever the Wicked has dozens of secrets, and we hate them all. We take on E4M3, from DOOM (1993), Thy Flesh Consumed!

Class A war criminal Shawn Green designed a level that gives us some confounding and annoying secrets. He sics shotgun snipers on us and teleports us all over the place!

We also talk about DOOM Eternal and our feelings on the gameplay. Also, Aaron can't handle it without playing on baby mode.

We take a dive into Shawn Green as best we can, but the man is a mystery wrapped in an enigma!

This is one of the first DLCs, and we ask whether there is ANY good DLC?

And y'all remember old school Adult Swim? Cuz we do, as we're old men, and we reminisce about our favorites!

Then we discuss the ridiculous XBox Live price hike and the fallout from it!

We also analyze /r/WallStreetBets and GameStop and the insane fiasco happening there!

And finally we celebrate Ryan Haywood getting banned from Twitch and Sasha Grey kicking ass at Doom Eternal!

And speaking of hatred, two of us were NOT fans of this level. One was. Can you guess who before we tell you almost immediately?

Then we discuss the Hades and how it takes dying in video games to a new, exciting level!

And we mourn Inside Gaming (again)! We talk about how it is that it would fall apart and the implications for another resurrected gaming channel, G4!

Then we talk speedrunning and the virtual Awesome Games Done Quick!

We take on our first level designed by notorious designer, American McGee! This is also the first level of the fourth episode of DOOM, Thy Flesh Consumed, which was added years afters DOOM's initial release! We are battling our way through Hell Beneath, from DOOM!

Did we like American McGee's first go at DOOM, or was this tiny level a misfire? It's certainly challenging, but is it good?

We also talk about how American came to be a part of the DOOM team, as well as his other gaming endeavors!

The Definitive DOOM Movie Review

The Definitive DOOM Movie Review

We go review the DOOM movie, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Karl Urban, and Rosamund Pike from 2005!

This is the last DOOM movie review you will ever need! We go through the plot, the characters, the action, the monsters, and leave NOTHING out. We talk the good, the bad, the mediocre. We discuss who the real DOOM Guy is in the movie, the nods to the video game and its creators, and whether or not the first person section is even any good.

Is this movie a forgotten gem, or has it rightfully been tossed on the pile of "bad video game adaptation?"

We also discuss:

Dis in Dante's Inferno!

Christian fan fiction has just gotten lamer (except for the auteur Seth Rogen).

Then we talk our favorite games we played in 2020!

And the horrifying origins of Home Alone, as well as the horrifying trauma Time Bandits visited upon Sam!

We talk the ins and outs of Limbo and disagree on how good it is! We also talk Doomguy's stench and the power that resides within!

Then we talk about the biblical limbo and what happens to pagan babies! We examine the painting "Christ in Limbo" by Follower of Hieronymus Bosch! Jesus is a friggin superhero, let us tell you.

The we talk Sephiroth joining Smash Brothers! And speaking of Smash Brothers, Nintendo is a bully about it. And hey, they were giving kids seizures before it was cool.

Then we talk Nintendo and the future of the Switch and Nintendo Switch Online!

And we discuss the return of G4 and they talk about the hosts appearances for...far too long and far too in-depth.

Then we talk about the origins of the name "Mount Erebus," delving into mythology and real history to explore where it came from.

And finally we continue our discussion about the newest generation of game consoles! Has a week of them being out swayed any of the guys into purchasing a Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S?

We talk E3M2 from DOOM, Slough of Despair! Is hell nothing more than a depressing Bed, Bath, and Beyond?

We also create a new twist on a beloved character, the socially awkward Aragorn!

And we talk about Bobby Prince, the man behind the music!

Hot Boy Halloween - DOOM 19: Hell Keep

Hot Boy Halloween - DOOM 19: Hell Keep

It’s our Halloween episode!

We talk scary movies, from Guillermo Del Toro horror to Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice! Then we veer into some psychologically scarring stuff, like Evangelion, the best anime Sam never recommends to anyone! Disgusting zombie movies, both undead and space variety!

Then we discuss Hell Keep, the first level of DOOM, episode 3! Is it super hard or is it a walk in the hell park? Let’s talk!

And finally we talk about possibly the spoopiest game ever made, the 2000 AD classic Daikatana! Yes, John Romero makes us his bitch as we do a deep dive into the debacle that was Daikatana’s development. The horror…the horror…

All this AND MORE in a spooky scary episode of One Stage at a Time!

On the Sixth Day, God LOL'd - DOOM 18: Tower of Babel

On the Sixth Day, God LOL'd - DOOM 18: Tower of Babel

In this Scenario…We’re God

We talk The Tower of Babel! The final level in Episode 2 of DOOM (1993)! We take on the dreaded, imposing CYBERDEMON! This towering boss gives us a hell of a fight and we talk every aspect of it! Rockets! Lost souls! Crucified Barons of Hell!

Aaron talks about his venture into being a mobile gamer. So far? It’s sad.

We talk movies! Ernest Borgnine kills hobos on his murder train! Andy and Sam inform Aaron about the glorious film Emperor of the North Pole! Harvey Keitel duels the entire world in The Duelist!

Andy gives us another dramatic reading of the novelization of DOOM! We’re allowed to witness the first crack in DOOMGuy’s psyche as he sees his first zombie Zombie ZOMBIE!

We also dig into the history of John Romero, John Carmack, and Adrian Carmack! They started off at Softdisk together and ran quite the crazy scheme in order to make their games! Classic games such as Commander Keen! Which Adrian hated. Is Commander Keen related to both Doom Guy and BJ Blazkowicz?

And be sure to stick around to the very end for a very special message from Sam Ingersoll!

Upset Over Kermit and Rooster Teeth - DOOM 17: The Spawning Vats

Upset Over Kermit and Rooster Teeth - DOOM 17: The Spawning Vats

We discuss Kermit the Frog and his voice actor!

We talk about the sadness happening over at Rooster Teeth!

Aaron wants to play Star Wars instead of DOOM! But why?

Andy gives us a dramatic reading from the DOOM novelization!

Sam gives us a rundown of DOOM 64! “DOOM 64 is fun, but it’s not good.”

We also talk about The Spawning Vats! Is this level any good? Is it too much? Lots of imps & pinkies! Is DOOM set in The Lord of the Rings universe? Have y’all ever punched out a Baron of Hell?

Also: Tom Hall made no money from Doom. The 3DO version of DOOM was going to have live action cutscenes! We check it out.

And we nerds yell about Superman v. Batman & Justice League!

Andy thinks that BigMacDavis is out of his mind! But why?

The Death of E3 & Resurrection of G4 - DOOM 16: Halls of the Damned

The Death of E3 & Resurrection of G4 - DOOM 16: Halls of the Damned

We talk the possible end of E3 and the triumphant return of G4!(?) What is the future of the expo and the gaming channel? Everything is changing and it’s scary and we DON’T LIKE IT! We speculate wildly about Donkey Kong and Nintendo’s intentions! Is Donkey Kong Country Returns getting a sequel? Or another Donkey Kong 64? Or maybe a Diddy Kong Racing revival?! And we discuss DOOM, level E2M6, Halls of the Damned. Or, as Sam likes to call it: "The Lols of the Trolls!" because everything in this level is trying to f&%÷ with you. This level messes with us and turns us around and gets us into some sticky situations! Also: Who is American McGee? The Carmack brothers are not the Carmack brothers! And we discuss the DOOM comic! We take you panel by panel through all its manic, bloody glory! All this AND MORE in a trollololo episode of One Stage at a Time!

We Can't Comprehend the Fortress of Mystery - DOOM 15

We Can't Comprehend the Fortress of Mystery - DOOM 15

We discuss the biggest melee so far in DOOM as we take on 4 Barons of Hell and 10 Cacodemons! Just what IS this level? Sam cannot wrap his head around it. What are these barons doing here? Why does this fortress appear and disappear from the map? Is this the level that got Sandy Petersen his coveted job?

And we return to the Lore Corner as we talk about the DOOM novel series! It is some deep lore. Are the demons more than they seem to be? Yes, and it’s very dumb. Also, fortunately, not canon for the games. And say hello to Ken, the cybermummy!

Andy tweets with a Titan of Gaming, Steve Mayles!

Old Man Nintendo turns 131 and sure does act like a cantankerous geezer!

We are definitely NOT going to beat up Stephen Fry.

We talk the big purchase! Microsoft buys Zenimax, and now owns every shooter ever made, including DOOM!

We talk Final Fantasy 16 and Super Mario All Stars!

I Think That Was a Boob - DOOM 14: Command Center

I Think That Was a Boob - DOOM 14: Command Center

We work our way through the Command Center, the 14th level of DOOM!

This absolutely massive level had a ton of enemies, interesting secrets, and downright titillating areas of Cronenberg/cenobite/Lovecraftian nightmares. We discuss and argue about the number of enemies and tactics for killing them!

We also spend some time discussing LOST and how John Locke made everything worse. Was it a stupid show? Yeah, probably, but DOOM is some tight storytelling! Angry man with gun shoots demons. Perfection.

Then we spend time some time talking about how terrifying Mike Tyson still is and his Punch-Out game legacy!

AND let's talk about 90's male TV stars and their bad takes. Starring such awful-opinion-havers such as Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo, and Adam Baldwin!

All this AND MORE as we get absolutely kerfucked by Barons of Hell in this mysterious box of an episode of One Stage at a Time!

The Life and Times of John Romero and John Carmack - DOOM 13: Deimos Lab

DOOMGuy takes on Deimos Lab, our favorite level so far!

We talk about games we’re currently playing and unknowingly immediately have to eat our words about Donkey Kong Country 2!

We talk Final Fantasy and Donkey Kong Country…and we talk about DOOM (1993)!

We talk the fantastic level design and remarkable difficulty of Deimos Lab.

Also: We discuss the life and times of John Romero & John Carmack, but they’re cancelled. And DOOM is cancelled. And God is cancelled.

And have you heard of Final DOOM, the true DOOM 3? Because Aaron hasn’t. We discuss that and other more obscure installments in the DOOM franchise!

We Beat Sonic the Hedgehog for the Game Gear - Sonic GG 18: Sky Base Zone Act 3

We finally finish Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear! Yes, it's a shorter game, but it certainly felt longer as we struggled through pale imitations of better Sonic games. But we arrived at the final boss of the game, Doctor Robotnik (surprise!), and take him down!

We discuss our favorite parts of Sonic the Hedgehog, which levels stood out and which were our least favorite. We also talk about Dr. Robotnik's strange fetish, the multiple endings of the game, and the state of Sonic games in general.

All this AND MORE in a totally tubular episode of One Stage at a Time! Don't miss out on this final retrospective on Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear!

Dark Souls Owes Sonic Everything - Sonic GG 17: Sky Base Zone Act 2

We are Robotnik's personal Terminator as we chase him into the air! There is no escape for him. Sonic will find him and punish him.

We tackle Sky Base Zone: Act 2!

And we hate it.

Sonic the Hedgehog struggles through the level, though we are unaware of a simple solution to all of Sonic's problems. We also discuss the classic film "The Rocketeer" and the timelessness of its anti-Nazi message!

And finally, we talk about how Dark Souls owes almost everything to Sonic the Hedgehog! But how?

We take on Containment Area, the second area of DOOM (1993), episode 2! We get lost amongst the boxes and punch our way through! Mostly because we’re out of ammo, but also because of a wicked power-up!

Also:

The Doomguy’s abs finally return in DOOM Eternal!

What exactly is hell? Is it another dimension? Another planet? Is it metaphysical?

And...are we the bad guy?

Burned Cacodemon Buttholes - DOOM 10: Deimos Anomaly

The boys arrive on the shores of Hell! We take on level E2M1: Deimos Anomaly, in the original DOOM (1993)!

We find a new weapon, the Plasma Rifle, and an exciting brand new enemy, the feared Cacodemon! We also happen to get surprisingly intimate with this new, tomato-esque foe, so stick around the end of the episode for that one!

We spiral into a wicked tangent about Burn Notice, a surprisingly good show! We are big fans. Apologies to Gabrielle Anwar for how gross we are.

All this AND MORE in a scorched, cavernous episode of One Stage at a Time!
