Episode notes

I love modern video game graphics they're incredible. I'm ray tracing is quite cool but the trouble with something like ray tracing is it emphasizes shadow and darkness which means inherently that you cannot see things as well. And every other Warhammer thing I've played has taken itself so seriously. So to see this like coming at it with a wink and a nudge was like great. It works for me more than it didn't dark tide.

Boltgun is the latest game in the Warhammer 40k universe. But good news: you don't need to know a single thing about Warhammer to enjoy this little surprise. In fact, this new shooter will more likely click with fans of Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem. We dig into the latest "boomer shooter," and then reminisce about the early days of the FPS. Was Plante accidentally buying pirated games? Can Frush explain shareware? Learn the answers to those questions and more on this week's episode of The Resties.

Discussed on the show: Boltgun, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad, Doom, Hexen, Toy Story, Chex Quest, Super Mega Baseball 4, and the NYXI Wizard Wireless Joypad for Switch.
