Episode notes

When doom came out my dad had like the family computer and it was not meant for video games I didn't even know video games could play on it. My parents where they set boundaries with video games and violent video games makes it made zero sense. They let me play Resident Evil 2 but they allowed me to play Resident Evil 1 because John Carmack is from Shawnee Mission Kansas which was very close to us. Do you remember the gamer fatality yeah sure Jonathan Wendell he was.

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.
