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!

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

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!

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!

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
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!

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.

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.
Other topics today: The Muppets, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Hot Topic, The Internet, Sam’s 3D TV, and MORE!

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!

Seinfeld & Friends Battle to the Death - DOOM 31: Fear
The difficulty is turned down a notch for this level and we talk about how we feel about it! We also examine the layout of the level and how it differs from previous missions! Was it originally a multiplayer map?
This is the first level of DOOM designed by Tim Willits! We discuss his career and design aesthetic. How did he join the team and avoid the wrath of John Carmack? And is he a dirty stinking liar? John Romero seems to think so! Then, finally, the question we're all wondering about - What is a pogchamp? All this AND MORE in a credit-stealing episode of One Stage at a Time!

DoomGuy Ruins the Cyberdemon's Set - DOOM 30: Perfect Hatred
We talk Perfect Hatred, the second level in the expansion, Thy Flesh Consumed, for DOOM!
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!

American McGee Steps Up the Difficulty - DOOM 29: Hell Beneath
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
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?"
Come along with us as we let God sort 'em out in The Definitive DOOM Movie Review!

John McClane Christ Kicks in the Door to Limbo - DOOM 26: Limbo

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!

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?

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…

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
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
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
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!

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!

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?

Also:
The Doomguy’s abs finally return in DOOM Eternal!
What exactly is hell? Is it another dimension? Another planet? Is it metaphysical?

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.

We meet the first "boss" of the game and take on 2 (count 'em, TWO) Barons of Hell! We talk about the fantastic level design and the struggle that comes with taking on these two giant baddies. We discuss their nickname of "Bruiser Brothers," the extra challenges that come with ultra-nightmare difficulty, and the surprise ending of the level!
Also: Why does DOOMGuy like Tang so much? What is Beta Ray Bill doing in this level? And let's talk about The Whitest Kids You Know!

We discuss the design of this level, the surprising treats as it makes you backtrack and the long-range battles that can ensue! We talk secrets and the strange math they entail this time around! And we discuss what John Romero was thinking when he designed this level!
Also:
Is DOOM a prequel to Star Trek?
Does nukage work well as computer coolant?
And what would DOOMGuy be like as a SysAdmin?

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.

A bunch of stupid horseshit! A discussion of the naming of the levels! Finding secrets and new power ups! John Romero's next game! Dr. Grant is Doomguy! Yes from Jurassic Park!

The Lara-Su Chronicles Traumatizes Us - Sonic GG 14
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.

Your comrades bodies litter the floor and you're tearing through hordes of imps and demons!
Joined by Sam Ingersoll once again, we take on E1:M4, Command Control, in DOOM (1993)! 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?

In this episode, Aaron gets cancelled! Like, immediately.
We discuss the odd name that is Scrap Brain. Aaron forgets what system we're playing on! We compare the Game Gear version to the Genesis version and how it kind of sucks when put side by side.
Also, Aaron continues his one-sided beef with The Gaming Historian and we talk about ALL the Sonic games for the Game Gear and Genesis.

We talk about gibbing once more and interesting ways to take on demons with a chainsaw!
We also talk about Team Fortress 2 and the racist robots currently infesting the game.
And finally, we discuss John Romero & John Carmack, 2 of the creators of DOOM! And their tres chic hairstyles.

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?

Still Lost in Labyrinth Zone!

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.

They also talk about DOOM's predecessor, Wolfenstein 3D, and its influence on not only DOOM, but the world as a whole! And, you know, fuck nazis. Kill 'em.

We also talk about Labyrinth Zone, Act 1 from Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Game Gear! How did the conversion from the Genesis counterpart work? Is it just a glitchy mess or is it pretty enjoyable? And what secrets lie within?
And we discuss Sonic's characterization, his other love interests, and how he stacks up against Mario.
And Aaron starts a beef with the Gaming Historian!
