I played doom and doom 2 on release, and what I really remember about doom 64 was being disappointed with the way the enemy sprites looked. The game was fun though, it was still doom.
I just noticed at 13:39, the part where the devil passes the controller in the air to him, if you slow it down that's actually James tossing the controller to himself to get the shot done. That's what I love about The Nerd is the whole low budget charm and by any means necessary mentality lol 🤣😇

The most basic reasoning is that It's a mixture of James and his personality, and the AVGN character. Together, they will practically always make a fun AVGN episode.
The Fact that the Company behind Doom also helped Made 'Star Fox' Not the company, But a few people who is from ID or their friends. It was shown in the Netflix documentary "High Score"

The fact that he's been around long enough for you to remember watching him as a kid is insane. Most reviewers fade away after a few 5-minute videos but James has been doing this since 2006
This is one of the best episodes ever. It feels like it was made back in the golden era of AVGN, and having the legendary John Romero as a guest was the cherry on top. An instant classic, just like Doom.
"Whenever I get lost, I just look for the trail of dead bodies to know where I've been." Is unironically one of the most raw things I've ever heard anybody say.
@@PikaLink91 i guess if it's a video where the nerd is talking about his childhood games, which is what he did way earlier on during the nintendo nerd days. He did the same with Contra in another episode.
James, I can't thank you enough. You've been making videos since before RUclips and I remember binge watching your videos in elementary school. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see you still making videos with the same charisma and charm as the old ones. I'm so glad you're still around.
Wow I can't believe it's been that long...I definitely remember watching the early vids on the cinemassacre website before youtube...hadn't thought about that in ages haha.
Doom on the Saturn is actually a sad story. The guy in charge of making the port was actually trying to use the systems full capability. He really wanted to make it something special. He was told by his boss not to bother and do the minimum
It was John Carmack himself the one that wanted the game running on the OG engine on Saturn, instead of using a new engine that took advantage of the Saturn's hardware capabilities A decision he apparently regretted years later
@@tech34756 Considering the guy who coded the engine for the SNES version had to do it from scratch (the engine was completely incompatible with SNES HW) and he had to get Romero's blessing for it to go to release, I doubt Romero could have done better. The guy recently released an update that takes advantage of some undocumented features of the SNES HW that apparently bumps the framerate up markedly.
In the last part I was expecting a scene were the PS1 port of Doom appear and the Nerd said "Eeeeeeh, you know, you are OK" and PS1 Doom just flies away.
It's nice that the Nerd has evolved from 'what were they thinking?!?' to actually talking about and naming some of the developers of some of these ports that made them under bad conditions
I mean, if you want to talk technicalities, he kind of talked about it in a previous episode. In the episode for Chex Quest, he referenced Brutal Doom, a mod for the game.
Doom: *exists* LucasArts: ... I can make this work. *Proceeds to create Star Wars: Dark Forces, which soon transitioned into Star Wars: Jedi Knight series.* Me: Oh, hello, childhood.
I love how the Nerd is basically the personification of all of the edgy 90's video game marketing. He's Blast Processing, he's what Nintendon't, he's Play It Loud, and he's the, "SEGA!" scream all wrapped up in one completely relatable dude. A dude we all had in our elementary class in the 90's; the kid who unfavorably compared someone's mom to Castlevania II or the one who wore the Power Glove to school both during and after Halloween. By the way, Masters of Doom is an excellent book, and I highly recommend it to the Nerd and all fans of Doom. Also, John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars is the best/worst Doom movie.
i always watch avgn halloween specials after watching a horrormovie and still be in the halloween mindset with the AVGN specials. this episode did not dissapoint and is probably one of the better ones we got since years.
I remember coming home to my dad playing this on his computer back in 94, his friends at work were sharing it, and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Doom changed things...
I absolutely love doom guy's lore. He might be a brutal killer of demons. But he is pure of heart. Attacking a superior officer because of moral reasons. He ain't gonna just stand around and let civilians get killed.
I believe, that out of all of the demons doom guy battles and encounters, his brutality, tenacity, and prowess makes him, the most powerful Demon of all. He is a Demon Lord of a guy

I do love that he reviews Doom on the GBA and give it the “it’s alright for a portable handheld” as I’m literally playing Doom on my Steam Deck.
I haven't watched an AVGN in years but this feel EXACTLY like it did when I left off. Amazing video and kudos for the Romero cameo!
It's funny you should say that, cause he hit a big slump for a few years, and has been bouncing back over the last few videos.
@@Jaspertine in your opinion he did.
@@Jaspertine tt f
Holiday specials are a must every year how is it not in your normal watching?
@@Indy_Bendy thank you ian
the fact they (iirc. it was ONE GUY) got doom running on the snes is a technological masterpiece
Williams entertainment 👌
Same for 3D0 port. One woman. Ten weeks. Management that thought computers were literally magic and code would just work on anything. The story is amazing
Someone needs to make an AVGN themed mod for Doom
Wait until he hears about Skyrim
I swear everyone always says "wow back on form" at every episode for the last 10 years 😂 youve always been consistently great for me
Yes pretty much
No kidding. 😂
I know right?! lol AVGN never fails!
Funny every year
